Comment on There are people in first world countries with only 1 hard drive

Besides those drives installed inside other devices, I have like 2 portable ssds and 1 portable hdd totalling like 4 TB

bunch of micro sd cards…

I treat it as an effective 1 TB of storage tho… I mean, I use the multiple storage device as redundancy. I’m not gonna actually treat this as I have 4TBs…

Cloud storage is used as offsite backup.

I have a shitty budget laptop and a steam deck and nintendo switch 2… I haven’t even have the energy to play anything for months… mostly just binge watch anime and stuff…

I don’t have a desktop… I don’t like the idea of a device that’s contrained to only be used in one place… how do you even pack it if you wanna move?

That said I don’t really have a place I feel “home” yet… so my mind thinks more like a “nomad”

I like using phone more often… cuz you have it with you everywhere, so I treat my phone as my “Main” device… If I type a document, I always copy it to be on my phone at all times…

Hard to move stuff like a desktop pc or a bookshelf of books, dvds, game cartidges… so I kinda favor digital versions of stuff more than physical…

I don’t bother keeping “backups” of every media I watched, feels like it would cost too much for storage… when you factor in like replacements when drives eventually die… and the headache of having to manage all that… so I only keep irreplacible files like photos, documents,or my writings. And maybe like a .zim wikipedia file or a bunch of ebooks since those doesn’t take much space.

Does everyone on Lemmy have like an entire serverroom or something? Lmfao

(USA btw)
