I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

I'm gonna upgrade to the 0 TB hard drive pretty soon so everything stops using up so much storage

Sigh. How many times do I have to keep telling people.. 0TB ≠ 0 TiB. One is a marketing gimmick that makes it look like you're getting more capacity than is actually available. You think you're getting 0TB when you're actually only getting 0TiB.

yeah especially since these days software seems to expand to fill the available volume, just like a hot gas.

It can be ∞ TB if you inverse it by instead uploading to cloud 😏🤏🏻
