  • That’s because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.

    Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.





  • I do it regularly… I particularly like 4.

    In all seriousness, I use it when I need to time something - 32 on one hand means one minute (approximately) with two rotations. I started when trying to determine if my daughter was asleep, waiting for a minute after she’d last moved or talked, and I didn’t want a screen or light or noise to wake her (she’s always been hard to get to sleep).

    So - yeah it’s a tiny bit tricky to do some combos, but no more than touch typing.







  • I don’t really care about trustable, the only shampoo that reliably deals with my dandruff / itchy scalp is Head & Shoulders. It’s a pain in the ass if I don’t use it. I’d rather not, honestly - heard lots of, “You don’t need it, let it handle itself, just rinse it, whatever…” - yeah, I love looking like it’s snowing and scratching all the time.
