I don't think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

Lots of people on Lemmy forget that the choice between Capitalism and Socialism isn't binary. Country picks individual policies that are capitalist or socialist in nature. All of the modern countries are a combination of both. Even USA has certain socialist policies. Most of Europe is roughly equally capitalist and socialist.
It's just making a character build and picking perks. Capitalist policies aren't bad (for the general public) by default. Depending on how and which ones are implemented, they can be beneficial to everybody.

I'm not saying he's an all-round upstanding guy. I even heard he refuses (or refused?) admitting to having a daughter outside of marriage. But we also need to keep in mind that he's a dinosaur at this point, and expecting progressive views from an old rich dude from Hong Kong/China is pushing it.

In China and Hong Kong if you're famous, you support everything CCP does. Because if you don't, you're not famous at best and missing at worst.

And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don't really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.
