#computer hard drive

[thepastisalreadywritten]

This is how the first hard drive looked like. It weighed 1 ton and had 5 MB of storage, 1956.

In September 1956, IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first ‘SUPER’ computer with a hard disk drive (HDD).

Yet another Owl House drawing I never finished (of which there are many lol)

It was a dual redraw of/homage to my first ever fanart from the day the pilot episode aired (below the cut), but this time done right after the show ended and with Eda's updated look! Though I lost steam fast I kinda like it this way lol, one of those things that probably would have lost its energy if I tried to line it yknow

#the owl house #eda clawthorne #edalyn clawthorne #toh #eda the owl lady #fanart #watching and dreaming #toh spoilers #the owl house spoilers #redraw #kinda #dana terrace actually retweeted my old one when i first did it :) #was preddy cool #i have been in a state of wanting to draw but not having the energy to for like. weeks lol #so might as well just bring out some stuff from the proverbial disney vault (my computer hard drive) #love that her staff is 100% behind her in the original from 2020 #girl is sitting on thin air #shes doing that gymnastics move they do on the pommel horse

journalists underestimate the magnitude of my addiction and how far i'll go for the bit

#snap chats #im lying i physically could not marathon this i got school LMAO BUT IMAGINE #my god speaking of school i signed up for a japanese history class. because of course i did #i also needed an extra class and i didnt know what else to put LMAO but i might swap it or somn #thinkin i should get back into theater..... i got like two months to decide anyway #i was thinking about how im gonna play IW during streams... if the lord will let me i might stream for 2~3 hours or so #im putting such a small time limit due to Aforementioned School but also idk if my computer can record any longer than that #when i tried saving the video to my flashdrive it only lasted about two some hours right ? maybe 3 if i remember right #i decided to record to my computer's hard drive instead of the usb since it has more space so maybe i can record longer #ill prob do a test run later today and record a nonsense video. i WILL delete it i just wanna see what the limit is #cause my plan is to just Record One -> Upload It -> Delete OG yk. Lazy Susan type of plan #didnt mean to type out my whole gameplan in the tags LOL BUT HEY I WANTED TO TALK BOUT IT AT SOME POINT #my final message is that ive Hopefully preordered the ichi statue. i say Hopefully cause i am once again doing it through jp rabbit #and i didnt get the confirmation it was successful yet so I Will Simply Wait. #point is it was a lot cheapter than i thought it was going to be <3 yay <3 #ok im running out of tags tl;dr im gonna marathon IW until my eyes bleed BYYYE

Programming is awesome when It is like solving a puzzle like portal. So to increase the likeness to it, we should to make computers release neurotoxin when they fail to compile.

if bobby’s death has taught me anything it’s that getting attached to the eggs is a dangerous game bc the eggs are vulnerable and getting attacked constantly and if i get attached and it dies i cry so much

therefore i’ve decided to fix this issue by instead getting attached to sofia, who is a computer ai, does not have lives like the eggs, and can’t go outside so she will never get attacked by monsters

this is a completely foolproof plan

#watch me unintentionally predict something bad happening to sofia #if that actually happens i will cry so hard #it’s ok tho she’s a computer program #so even if her computer gets smashed if her hard drives ok then max can just build her a new computer! #the only danger she’s in rn is ppl being weird #stop fuckin flirting with her i am begging u #leave her alone!!! #she’s a busy gal she doesn’t have time for these shenanigans #anyways this is a sofia fanblog now #qsmp #qsmp sofia #q!sofia #qsmpblr #qsmp bobby #qsmp lore #qsmp eggs #posts from the ocean

day 157

femme fatale mode >:3c

#day 157 #year 4 #destiny chainsaw #cw eye strain #my ocs #fun fact. i was gonna post this yesterday but then my computer got too full and would not save #and then i was like it is okay i have an external hard drive i can move a buttload of files to #but then i tried to move too many files at once and it crashed my computer #and thus my progress on this piece didnt get saved and i had to redo a bunch of it #BUT it is worth it for Her #and now i have so so much free space on my computer because i did eventually get all my shit moved #anyway. back up your fucking computers i guess #and keep your files clean instead of a uhhh fucking mess of unnecessary shit like i do lmao

NO PROBLEM CHILD NOT NOW GET IT TOGETHER.

it's doing like -- a screen flickering thing, kind of vibrating up and down with a lot of pink and green blurring, distinct from the pink and green lines that show up when it turns on (which my computer guy said to bring the computer back if it kept doing at any other time). COME ON BUDDY, YOU JUST HAD SO MANY PARTS REPLACED IN JANUARY.

(for those that are not aware, Problem Child is my laptop, it is nine years old, and in January it had its hard drive, keyboard, screen, and fan replaced. googling suggests...drivers? /she says dubiously)

#your girl #first we will try turning it off and then on again #and if that doesn't work I will haul problem child to my computer guy tomorrow and cry #my keyboard has a crack in it anyway #nothing has EVER fixed The Rattle either #after problem child had its heart (hard drive) replacement the rattle went away for like a week and then came back #everyone swore it had to be the fan #it was not the fan #no one knows what it is #do I need a new computer? uh probably #like my phone my computer is from the obama presidency #actually the flickering is starting to die down but it's still there

i already know what the story behind the picture is but please explain it anyway we need to educate the masses

oh my god thank you for enabling me ive been thinking about this all day. regarding this post i made yesterday and this classic image (which i actually just found out was posted seven years ago today!)

basically as can be read in the post at BigFest in 2016 somebody had what i believe was a fan-made prop based on the laptop from season 2 of gravity falls. alex hirsch attended this convention and decided to type in the password to the laptop. we never learned the password in the show so lots of people were excited to find out!

a HUGE thing to note here is that journal 3 was still months away from releasing and in fact while a couple pages had been released as promotional material it was still being worked on until, like... gosh i wanna say may is when they finally started printing it? don't quote me on that though my point is that this was all taking place pre-journal 3 and, therefore, many fans were still operating under the (sensible) impression that the laptop which

had been designed by fiddleford

had been built by fiddleford

had fiddleford's name on it

said "PROPERTY OF F" on it (at this point it had been established through promo images that "F" referred to fiddleford)

was assumed to be fiddleford's by, like, four different main characters

was given to and used by fiddleford following s2e7

fiddleford presumably knew the password to

would also belong to fiddleford. right? i mean logically. logically, guys.

so when alex hirsch revealed that the password had been "STANFORD" all along, people thought that was a little bit... well

of course, a couple months later journal 3 would be published and it would say that the laptop had actually been STANFORD'S, not fiddleford's, and that he had made the password his own name. so technically i lied in my earlier post, there IS a heterosexual explanation for this, but imo it's still bullshit. like sorry i don't believe for a fucking second that stanford "i need to encode all of my messages in multiple ciphers and write in invisible ink" pines would ever make a password as simple as his own name. he wouldve picked like something with six different layers of alternate meanings and also put it through atbash at the VERY least. also as i listed above there is a LOT of evidence which would support the laptop belonging to fiddleford, as opposed to ford, which has this random retcon (and like... some of the computer keys are different colors? i guess?? idk that bit was stupid) as its only supporting evidence.

my theory is that, while writing the show, alex and the other writers had intended for the laptop to belong to fiddleford, but for whatever reason, when they were writing the book, they decided to make it ford's instead. i want to make clear that i DON'T think this swap was motivated by homophobia, or as a reaction to seeing people interpret the password in a gay way. by the time that this photo was taken several promotional journal pages had been released, so it's safe to say that even if they were still adding the finishing touches to the book, it was pretty much in its final stage and in fact might have already started printing (i think the first photos we see of the book itself were posted like a week or two after bigfest). so to assume that there's a correlation there is both unfounded and extremely unlikely.

now, the stargazing scene reprint, on the other hand

#long post #gravity falls #fiddauthor #<- why the fuck not. it's midnight no one can judge me #why are you as a man making your computer password the name of the man you live alone in the woods with #sorry anon i doubt think this is what you had in mind when you said “explain it” LMAO #tales of the wild zeep #uhhh a couple other notes #1. i do not know who made the laptop prop at bigfest. i assumed it was a fan but i wasn't there i really don't know #2. i said may is when they started printing the book but i have literally no source for that #it is a guess based on when promotional photos were being posted #3. i say “fiddleford presumably knew the password to [the laptop]” and i just wanted to explain my reasoning there #basically in s2e10 fiddleford says that he “fixed” the laptop and is shown using it #we also see it at the start of the following episode being used to monitor the activity of the portal #now. i am not a computer engineer. i am mediocre with computers at best. #but based on what i have been told. when you are faced with a password screen. there are two ways to proceed #one way is to reset the computer's hard drive entirely‚ to... “erase its memory” if you will #however this would result in one being unable to access any of the information which had previously been stored there #considering that we see fiddleford using the laptop to monitor the portal's activity i believe that its files must have been intact #so we can rule out resetting as an option #the other way to proceed is by. um. knowing the password. and entering it #so THAT'S why i say that he PRESUMABLY knew the password. #now it's entirely possible that he was able to hack into the laptop or something. he is a mechanical genius and he built it after all #i'm just saying that i think it's far more likely that he just. knew the password. #which is honestly really funny and still kind of gay if you believe the whole “the laptop was actually ford's” thing #why are you as a man telling your computer password to the man you live alone in the woods with when you wont even write it in your diary #fucking apologies for this OCEAN of tags. ive done taxes all day im an adult im allowed to infodump about old hyperfixations as a treat

we (alpha enthusiasts) are eating so well this week finallyy <3

this ep had SO MUCH Alpha i was honestly taken aback, Sasa how is it that we've been winning so much recently? is this a dream? is it the power of love? did we give away so much we finally get to receive? whatever it is hope it never ends, our girl got so much screentime and proper depth and some actual backstory on what her hopes and dreams and plans for the future are, i feel blessed AAAAAAAAAA

#as a eldest sister myself can i just say i relate to this character so much and i love her so much words can't really explain it #the big sis energy is there and it's so rare for me to feel it in a world where big sis characters usually feel like they've been written- #-either by an only child or a younger sibling idk how to say #also trust me when i say you wouldn't believe the amount of screencaps i took for this ep and how heavy they are gb wise #let's just say thank god i own an external hard drive otherwise my computer would have combusted #my eyes burn from all the capping and now i'll have to watch msi in the morning instead of tonight but for beloved alpha it was so worth it #💌 answered

attempting to claw my brain out of The Rottening by allowing myself to spend money on things that will improve my household life even though I've been reluctant to commit to them

#a drill for projects around the house because I've either been borrowing a friend's or just not doing those projects #a large external drive for the desktop computer because eventually i do want to upgrade that computer and i need backups #also i have just been solving problems by dumping stuff into cloud storage and that's really not sustainable #and a wireless keyboard + mouse because my computer is set up as the living room TV and having the controls tethered is uh inconvenient #it's not even stuff that's hard for me to afford! #i just get weird about dipping outside my weekly budget #and none of these things can be easily purchased within that budget #anyway. very excited to go home and try out this drill #i also bought a new shade for the bathroom #because i don't like having vinyl blinds that have broken slats as a privacy shield #like. my neighbor's house is Right There #and it's not a very big broken area but i am constantly aware of it #so it would be nice to just. fix it.
