I’m loving these parodies
IDE Master Slave Month
No….
Wait …!!! It wasn’t meant like that!!!
Nice jumper. ;)

What does the S in VS Studio stand for?
ATM Machine
PIN number
HIV virus
RAS Syndrome
VIN number
Brain was too tired when I wrote that lol
IDE was fine.
Molex, however, can go fuck itself to eternity.
I swear the manufacturing tolerances for molex were “fuck it, looks about right” based on some connectors I had to use.
…and yet IDE is phased out and Molex lives on to torment us.
So this is the gay agenda
I thought they were all SATA-nists, but NVMe.
I am impressed by this
They’ve been planning it all along
Stay in your grave, IDE!
NO.
SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE
Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn’t every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA
IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.
That’s “Bare” NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking poing™
Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer
The cables were awful yet intriguing
I was a master at origami-ing the shit out of them to route them while avoiding blocking airflow…
Like punching in SCART but more elegant
Heh, remember bent pins?
I sure don’t miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.
Don’t forget SCSI termination. There was always some extra piece of junk you needed to make it all work. No wonder we all have “the box” in the basement/attic with all the extra cables squirreled away.
Now you take a tiny board a little bigger than a stick of gum, and press it onto the motherboard. Smaller footprint than a DIMM, mind-blowing amounts of solid-state storage. Drives? Naw, we just have chips where the "1"s stick around after you turn it off.
Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I’ll be dead soon jim
I excitedly told my girlfriend who’s big into PC overclocking that my SSD does 500mb/s. Hers is one of these newfangled M.2. NVMe drives does 5000mb/s. She also asked me if a mechanical hard drive does around 500mb/s too… I’m like 25 and right there with ya.
You kids have “serial” ATA? Ohhhh, watch this. Imma shoot these bits down this set of wires. Simultaneously.
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago
hmm I was thinking more like visual studio lmaooo
I think it’s about the Integrated Drive Electronics interface standard created by Western Digital, not some nerd shit.
I want to get ridden by MC Ride
Guess the BDSM folks with their Master/Slave relationships are included in Pride.
What’s that suposed to be? Seems like I have another meaning for “IDE”
The IDE standard was used to connect hard drives and optical drives in from the late 80’s to the mid 00’s. Also known as ATA, it was renamed Parallel ATA when its successor, Serial ATA (SATA) came onto the scene.
Thanks
Parallel ATA-boys
PATA life
Thanks
Parallel ATA-boys
What x)?
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is the more commonly known name for what was also called Parallel AT Attachment (shortened from Parallel AT Bus Attachment).
The newer drive standard, SATA means Serial AT Attachement.
Yea but I didn’t get the comment
You might be thinking of “IED”
Very different!
“Integrated development environment” was thhe first thing I thought of personally.
This ^
Could also be thinking of Integrated Development Environment, the program software developers spend most of their days using. (Combining a text editor, file manager, compiler, and debugger.)
Also usually has an integrated LSP and Linter for the text editor.
I’m too young for this 👀
Watch out, gen Z is here!
Here is some reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_(computing)
How is this related?
It’s a joke based on the Verge article from last year(?) that said Zoomers don’t know what files and folders on a computer are.
https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z
I guess I’m very out of the loop!
Fortunately I know that a folder is an envelope that contains multiple papers, and files mean papers that refer to something specific. And all of these can be put on top of your computer, which most people do because the big computer box is flat and good for storing things on it.
I mean seriously, people don’t know this?
Still have a big bag of 40pin IDE cables in my closet. Probably time to say goodbye one of these days.
The second you get rid of them you are gonna need them
Yeah it’s not worth the risk
Better hang onto them for another 10 years, you’ll never know when IDE makes a comeback.
Today’s obsolete computing is tomorrow’s retro computing.
I’ve used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.
40-channel Stereo, dude!
Thats a terrible idea you might need those for some reason in the future and the only way to assure you don’t is by keeping them forever and making them your next of kins problem.
Big ol’ ribbon cables are useful for not-ide things
