Back in the day, working with WD was a nightmare. The spinning HDs never came with a keyed IDE cable. It must have saved them $.0001 per HD shipped. If you accidentally put the cable in backwards, it not only burned out the logic board on the WD HD, it would also burn out any other drives on the cable. And the IDE controller on the motherboard. Now it is easy to remember how to do it right. Install the power cable and then make sure the red wire on the power cable was next to the red wire (pin 1) on the IDE cable. But if you rush or make an assumption, that was an expensive mistake.

Just the most perfect art. He had a silly idea and made the delivery in just the best way.

Yeah, fuck that lake!

Or just join the fediverse? All these “being careful” comments hide the actual work of trying to own activity pub. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
