      How is it hard to believe VLC or hard drives still exist? HDDs remain the most cost effective way to store large amounts of data and VLC is a widly popular open source media player that is often the default media player on linux systems

      I just bought 4 hard drives. They are the most cutest effective way of storing data for most people. I’m pretty sure tape is more expensive, if it’s not there are other issues like sequentially written data. Anyway, this is a dumb example and I don’t expect old reddit to last.
