Happy PrIDE Month

- Vs code > vs studio
  
  What does the S in VS Studio stand for?

Stay in your grave, IDE!
- NO.
  SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE
  Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn't every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA
  
  IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.
- The cables were awful yet intriguing
  
  I was a master at origami-ing the shit out of them to route them while avoiding blocking airflow…
  
  Like punching in SCART but more elegant

IDE was fine.
Molex, however, can go fuck itself to eternity.
- ...and yet IDE is phased out and Molex lives on to torment us.
- I swear the manufacturing tolerances for molex were "fuck it, looks about right" based on some connectors I had to use.

I sure don't miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.
- Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I'll be dead soon jim
  
  I excitedly told my girlfriend who's big into PC overclocking that my SSD does 500mb/s. Hers is one of these newfangled M.2. NVMe drives does 5000mb/s. She also asked me if a mechanical hard drive does around 500mb/s too... I'm like 25 and right there with ya.
- Don't forget SCSI termination. There was always some extra piece of junk you needed to make it all work. No wonder we all have "the box" in the basement/attic with all the extra cables squirreled away.
  Now you take a tiny board a little bigger than a stick of gum, and press it onto the motherboard. Smaller footprint than a DIMM, mind-blowing amounts of solid-state storage. Drives? Naw, we just have chips where the "1"s stick around after you turn it off.

So this is the gay agenda
- I thought they were all SATA-nists, but NVMe.
  
  I am impressed by this
- They've been planning it all along

You kids have "serial" ATA? Ohhhh, watch this. Imma shoot these bits down this set of wires. Simultaneously.

hmm I was thinking more like visual studio lmaooo
- I think it's about the Integrated Drive Electronics interface standard created by Western Digital, not some nerd shit.

- I want to get ridden by MC Ride

I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago

IDE Master Slave Month
No….
Wait ..!!! It wasn’t meant like that!!!
- Nice jumper. ;)

Guess the BDSM folks with their Master/Slave relationships are included in Pride.

What's that suposed to be? Seems like I have another meaning for "IDE"
- The IDE standard was used to connect hard drives and optical drives in from the late 80’s to the mid 00’s. Also known as ATA, it was renamed Parallel ATA when its successor, Serial ATA (SATA) came onto the scene.
  
  Thanks
  
  Thanks
- You might be thinking of "IED"
  Very different!
  
  "Integrated development environment" was thhe first thing I thought of personally.
  
  Could also be thinking of Integrated Development Environment, the program software developers spend most of their days using. (Combining a text editor, file manager, compiler, and debugger.)
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Drive_Electronics
  
  I’m too young for this 👀
  Watch out, gen Z is here!

Heh, remember bent pins?

Still have a big bag of 40pin IDE cables in my closet. Probably time to say goodbye one of these days.
- The second you get rid of them you are gonna need them
  
  I've used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.
  
  Yeah it's not worth the risk
- Thats a terrible idea you might need those for some reason in the future and the only way to assure you don't is by keeping them forever and making them your next of kins problem.
- Big ol’ ribbon cables are useful for not-ide things

I love the PATA PATA of ~~little feet~~ old drives.
- Those socks will get pretty SCSI.

I'm loving these parodies

Beware the Integrated Drive Electronics of ~~March~~ June

This is your yearly reminder to check your jumper settings.

Where were these drives in March?

Pridemonth also has the word ride and month.
Ide
Ride
Deamon. Month.
Hmmm
- Don't forget emo and demo

🔥🔥

I'm all for tolerance, but I'm more of a SCSI man myself.

I thought you were referencing integrated development environments and got confused

Needs more integrated development environments underneath as well.
