Cooler didn't arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I'd have stayed up all night. 😆

As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I'm going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.

Yeah I searched for the definitions not some blog posts bruh. Are those the original definitions you were talking about?

Of course "Hard drive" can refer to other things. It's just incorrect in the same way refering to a SSD as a HDD is wrong. Wikipedia is just helpful.

you started this just because I said that calling an SSD a hard drive isnt wrong, which it isnt, but calling if HDD is because that implies a disk, thats all.

Yeah, because you are wrong mate. Just teach people the corrent terms instead. It isn't hard. It's literally 3 letters. People use the wrong terms all the time and that's obviusly fine when you were a kid, but don't spread it into the modern age.

Encyclopedia Britannica is a blog post? The one that exists since 1768? Alright man, have fun winning arguments in your head, you are delusional.

You didn't link to the actual dictionary like I did. You linked to an article.

Here is the dictionary: https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/hard-drive
