    I remember people saying that about SSDs vs HDDs, SSDs were the unreliable newfangled junk. Am I old?

      SSDs are less reliable than an HDD if we speak about lifespan (which is still pretty high) but it’s not really a problem for the avarage joe plus they got better in the years and can’t be recovered if they break. SD cards are waay less reliable than a SSD and it’s a concern for me

        Oh yeah I just found it amusing that the old “unreliable” thing is now being used as a gauge for “reliable enough”

        I luckily have no experience with either breaking for me over 15ish years of active computer usage, so I have no fears or trust issues there yet. I also use cloud saves on steam for everything and I’m lucky enough to live in an area with good internet, so worst case I play a different game while my big game is downloading again after I broke something.
