      This just in: big fonts and small amounts of text surrounded by dead space attract attention.

      Nah, it’s the ADHD.

      I’m pretty sure I’ve even posted it here in the past lmao

      I recently fucked up my file system so some communities are liable to get some reposts over the next couple months. I can’t afford a new SSD and I’ve had to start ruining things ;_;

          One that works. I think my PC is capable of another SSD, recently saw a slot that looks suspiciously like one when I was cleaning it. I don’t know computers. I just have a 2TB HDD plugged into my PC that’s dying from age (Got it in 2019… and has survived some insane abuse) as well as being full. Another 1TB SSD external but I use that for video games because I’ve only got 500GB internally.

          I don’t know computers I just know memes

            There’s 2 types of SSDs that you should be concerned with, SATA and M.2 NVME. Sata are usually black connectors in usually the bottom right of a motherboard, same type of connector a hard drive would use. You can get SATA SSDs for fairly cheap, I’ve got 2 2tb ones in my computer, but they’ll be much slower than an M.2. Still much faster than a hard drive though. M.2 NVME is what I assume the 500 GB SSD is?, usually located around the graphics card slot, there should be a line of screw holes for different sizes, and a connector at the end that you slide the m.2 into.

            If you ever need help, there are plenty of references online if you search how to install a M.2 SSD or a SATA SSD, and once it’s installed, tutorials on how to format it do you can use it.

              It’s an M.2 NVME, that much I do know. Well I know it’s NVME, I think there’s different types of those? There’s a sexy guy on youtube who I see shorts of who talks about them. I don’t remember anything he says I just want to lick his arms. But when I was cleaning it was with my roommate at the time. I think it was me that pointed out the SSD and questioning what the fuck it was because I thought it was a ram stick at first but it made no sense for the place it was in. That and I installed the RAM because the pre-built PC didn’t have nearly enough. Nitro-N50 or some shit. But she said it was the SSD and that’s what made me go “Fucking WHAT?!” there also happened to be another slot on the motherboard that looked almost identical, thus why I said I think it can take another one. Had the same type of connector (although I couldn’t see the pins of the SSD) and even had a screw in the right place.

              My issue though is cost. I just can’t afford it. I can’t afford most things at the moment right now though so it’s whatever. I just keep backing up as much as I can and slowly crying and cannibalizing it. It’s not that big a deal lol I’m mostly deleting shows that I haven’t seen in a while. I’m just a data hoarder so it hurts.
