There is no data. There are anecdotes about people claiming high read/write errors etc. But I don't see data. A million Hot Saucerman's complaining about their consumer electronics isn't data. Is there a graph aggregating SMART statistics across multiple drives from multiple batches over time? Is there a comparison of those statistics to usage, and generally accepted Industry SSD read/write rates?
Where is it? It certainly wasn't in the articles and it certainly wasn't posted anywhere on Lemmy.
So it went from "consumers don't know any better" to "if consumers haven't aggregated all this data to prove it, it means they're dumb." That's a big fuckin leap, you know, to go from "it's because they lost a file and are too dumb to understand" to numerous people reporting failures of their drives, to where they are unmountable, and it's their fault for not collating all the data first. One might even call it "moving goalposts." I doubt people who are busy worrying about lost data have the time to be organizing a nationwide call to data harvesting for this.
For someone who ostensibly hates capitalism or something, you sure have a funny way of showing it by defending corporate malfeasance by claiming consumer stupidity. Which once again is elitist, and hypocritical coming from you, specifically. Maybe try practicing what you preach.
You are hardcore projecting bro.
Projecting? You only know of me what you've seen in a few threads, and I only know of you what I've seen in a few threads. What I saw was a guy acting like an arrogant prick, even when people were polite and agreed with them. You've continued this arrogance and acting like you know better than anyone else in every thread you've popped up in. You're an elitist, yet you preach not using "classist" speech. I don't know if you're projecting, you're a troll, or if you're just a very sad broken person who can't be fucked to be nice, but I just know you've rubbed me the fucking wrong way after I was super polite to you after a misunderstanding. An unwillingness to give basic human decency and politeness in return makes me think you're a raging asshole, and any time I find you popping up in threads being an asshole I'm gonna dump on your ridiculous fucking takes.
I just asked for data to support a claim made in an article, and apparently that was crossing the Rubicon for you. I really haven no idea what you are on about.
So you're either oblivious or a troll. Got it.
You got downvoted by more than just me because you didn't just ask for data, you were rude about it.
