Comment on Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim

At first I was like “9TB!? That’s like a billion bajillion. It’s like Dr Evil demanding $100 billion in 1969!”

And then I realized I have over 9TB of liberated media on my NAS. I really need to adjust my concept of technology, not to mention the passage of time.

I mean, 911 was only ten years ago, right? Right!?

As of 9-11 I had a gig and a half of liberated media collected from Usenet. I know because I was running out of space on my external hard drive (connected by the printer port) and the bios was limited to two gb.

It’s amazing how far we have come in just, checks notes, 10 years.

  You had an external hard drive on a parallel port? I’ve never heard of such a thing. You sure it wasn’t scsi? Or maybe even centronics?

    It was most definitely parallel port. It was one of those rare relics of history that hardly anyone ever owned. That laptop was not capable of scsi. The read time was horrible. The write time was worse.

  I’m surprised you didn’t have a series of backup tape drivers connected by SCSI lol
  
  Oh wait, that’s more like twelve year old technology

    12 years ago I was the proud owner of a half a terabyte USB drive.
