It’s not actually wrong, but it certainly didn’t answer the actual question.

The size increase in hard drives around that time was insane. Compared to the mid-90’s which was just a decade ago, hard drives capacities increased around 100 times. On average, drive capacities were doubling every year.

Then things slowed down. In the past 20 years, we’ve maybe increased the capacities 30-40 times for hard drives.

Flash memory, on the other hand, is a different story. Sometime around 2002-3 or so I paid something like $45 for my first USB flash drive - a whole 128MB of storage. Today I can buy one that’s literally 1000 times larger, for around a third of that price. (I still have that drive, and it still works too!)

That chart doesn’t really show the recent price hike. Late last year, I bought an 8TB Samsung SATA SSD for $350. If I wanted to buy that same drive today, it would be $630.

On the other hand, If I can get $20k a month with one of the safest investments around, I’m not screwing around with the stock market.

The Samsung monitors we get at the office still appear to be just dumb screens. No remote or anything like that. But that’s from their business lineup of monitors. Wouldn’t surprise me too much if their consumer/gamer lineup would be different.

Pan Am no longer exists?

I got all but one achievement in Subnautica, and all of the achievements in Below Zero (the sequel) in my first playthrough of both games, just from taking my time and thoroughly exploring both of the worlds and completing the story without even consciously trying to go for the achievements.

With that said, they are open world games and at times don’t really give you a whole of guidance as to what you need to do next. So you are kind of left to explore and figure it out on your own. If you don’t like that sort of game you might end up hating them by the end too.

I was always a bit impressed by those shuttles. They are warp capable and apparently capable of maintaining warp speed for at least several weeks making them more of a starship themselves than just a shuttle. Not bad for something the size of a large van.
