Why do modern operating systems require a SSD to function? How did Windows 95, XP, 7 & 8 run butter smooth even on 5400rpm spinning hard disks? I want to use a spinning disk as my boot drive, but can't anymore due to OSes feeling sluggish on it.

Install PuppyOS if you've only got old HHD's to work with otherwise just pucker up $30 something dollars for a 128gb SATA SSD to boot off of and use the other one for storing the larger files like games an what not.

If you ever used them you'd realise how laughable this statement is.
>>106502035
They didn't. The amount of data being moved around on a modern SSD for typical tasks would lock up an old hard drive. Backing up my 500mb windows 95 pc took like six hours

Use linux with a ramdisk.

You're just too young to remember. My NT4 system took like a minute to boot and I preferred to never turn it off

The one arguing a public park ever closing is "an insult" makes more sense in the procedural context: any dissatisfaction with your spending of time should construe in the direction of slaveship. Schopenhauer should attend, this is a debate of ages

My local Bunnings has an ewaste bin, you can find computers, stereos, etc. in that but you'll have to sacrifice your dignity. Recycling depots often have an ewaste bin as well, but you'll probably get in trouble stealing from them.

If your area has hard rubbish collection days, go out on a drive/bicycle with a cargo rack and you might find an old PC someone's dumped, too.

Craigslist/marketplace sometimes has free shit too, or near enough - $10 for a working computer is a better deal than $0 for one that doesn't.

Nigger the wipe takes 3 seconds. It's not zeroing the whole device dumbass, it zeroes the keystore which is tiny. Good luck interrupting a process which takes 3 seconds in total (and the data is already inaccessible the instant it writes the first zero bit to the keystore, but with every bit zeroed the effort required to recover the decryption key becomes exponentially harder)
>>
>>106507638
this seems retarded outside of being used when immediately detained
you have to assume that feds will snapshot your storage even when encrypted so wiping does fuck all
if anything, they could probably charge you for this using some bullshit like "obstructing justice"

MX Master is a good mouse for about 2 years. After that the buttons will start fucking up. I replaced my buttons with silent switches, I believe Kailh but I'm not sure. But a few months after that the rubber coating is starting to degrade. It's not that terrible but I think I have another 6-12 months left until I have to replace the entire mouse.

1 download qbittorent
2 get magnet link
3 open with qbittorrent.
If you are downloading stuff that your ISP may come at you for, use a VPN and configure qbittorrent to use the VPN's interface for torrenting.

Seems like there are additional resources on reddit but you're going to have to put some elbow grease on if you don't know what you're doing.
