i just realized a huge pet peeve in the tech/cyber/digital arena: employees trying to down-sell you on device or hard drive storage because “you probably won’t even come close to using all of it” and “you will probably just use [insert various cloud servers] for the majority of your storage anyway.” For one, the processing and storage capacity for seemingly random projects, work, etc. i end up working on is unreal For the second point, i don’t think they quite grasp my instinctive drive from the “golden age” to backup things to physical objects and actually store things on the device as needed. Clouds are one method of backing up, not the god of immutable data storage
