  • When SSDs first were becoming mainstream and were kinda spendy, tons of R*editors spewed “it’s not important because it only affects loading time. I can wait for another 20 seconds” when games coming out would have hella microstutters, and the load times could count up to minutes per screen. Playing Bethesda games on a HDD was a nightmare, going in and out of houses!

    I have a fast NVMe drive and some good SATA SSDs in my main machine, and there is only a couple second difference in loading between those. But I’d never run a program off’a HDD again.










  • I use my credit card for everything, and pay it off fully every month.

    I had to do a chargeback once. Convert tickets bought in December 2019, concert obviously cancelled. Ticket site wouldn’t refund, they just kept saying “oh just wait until it’s rescheduled” when I E-mailed for a refund. I asked four times. I told them “even if it is rescheduled, I’m not going to a concert in a pandemic.”

    I went to my credit card’s web site, clicked a button, wrote a sentence, and the charge was gone. Never heard about it again. It’s truly the way to go.
