I think they forgot that many people still have physical drives and not SSDs.
Also the "let me default to turning on whole-disk encryption for you" bit a lot of people who didn't realize what that was going to mean.

You make an excellent argument for changing avatars.
I still love my description on the Halforums wiki.
Whenever I change my avatar, I always go check the description with the new avi just to see what it looks like.

Well, very little about the wiki has changed at all in the last 3 years or so, really.
I still think that the wiki itself is confusing Iaculus and Icarus.
It certainly doesn't get anything about me right.

The point of the wiki was that it is editable by anyone, and users were encouraged to flesh out their own entry. That's why when I created most of those entries, I filled them with random libelous falsehoods.
Yeah, that sounds like you

Curiously enough, you were one of the few people who beat me to creating their user page.......errrr.....yes. Falsehoods. Right. Sure enough. Right, @LittleKagsin ?
Ah, the days when I was far too active around here....where has the time gone?
...oh, right, I spent it browsing this forum. Never mind.

It's FRIDAAAAAAAAY!
That's why mine is just a short blurb about being a hobo, because I'm too lazy to go and edit it.
If I did, it would probably just say Mostly Harmless.
And once again ,I'm doing 3 12-hour night shifts. What do I care about Friday? It's the start of my work week. Jerk. I want a "It's MONDAY" gif.
...errrr.....yes. Falsehoods. Right. Sure enough. Right, @LittleKagsin ?
Oh absolutely. Total falsehoods.
Your cosplay just keeps getting more and more convincing. You look spiffy in that shot!
She usually doesn't wear quite as much blue around the eyes, and her eyebrows aren't as pencil thin.. . . you mean that's not how YOU guys always see her as, all sparkly and stuff?
I'm never on the cutting edge of phones. Whenever I upgrade, I always upgrade to a model that's a year or two old and vastly cheaper than new phones. It's always like 1/3rd the price of getting something brand new.
For example, my Galaxy S3 was pretty beat up and it's battery was barely functional, so I decided to get a new phone and opted to get an LG G3. It was dirt cheap in comparison to newer phones and came with 150 dollar gift certificate to Best Buy. Then, one of my coworkers talks about getting an Iphone 6S Plus and how it cost like 5 times what my phone did.
Is it really worth it? It's a fuckin' phone.

I'm still using my Galaxy S3.
My iPhone4 just died (well I could not turn it on or off dependably,) and I waited for a few weeks for the 6's to price drop.
I appreciate that logic. It's why I support purchasing quality shoes and mattresses.
Does that golden Storm trooper helmet make anyone ELSE hungry for popcorn?
In 1999 when I was making mad tech bubble money, I bought a box of 500 pages of Avery mailing labels. It only cost me like $50 or $100. Which wasn't much at the time. I figured I'd eventually use them up.
There are 30 labels per page. That's 15000 labels. I've used them for mailing labels, return address labels, or, like today, homebrew labels. I use them every chance I get.
I'd like to say that FINALLY, 16 years later, that I was out of labels.
But I'm not. I still have a shitload. I'll probably have them til the day I die.

I thought we were talking about stuff we use frequently.
So I shouldn't bother paying you to rate my posts?
