Data Has Weight But Only on SSDs | Blathering
The discussion explores the concept that data has mass, particularly in solid-state drives (SSDs), where writing data involves adding electrons that contribute to a minuscule weight increase. While this increase is negligible, it contrasts with hard disk drives (HDDs), which do not gain mass. The topic serves as lighthearted science trivia rather than a significant…

Hardware failure on IPFire | Blathering
