#2Tom7 is brilliant for anyone that hasn't seen him before. His Reverse Emulation video (https://youtu.be/ar9WRwCiSr0) and Weird Chess Algorithms (https://youtu.be/DpXy041BIlA) are a must watch. His dead pan delivery coupled with the ridiculous amount of effort he puts into things that don't _really_ matter is honestly inspiring.

#3I had a large collection of hard drives that had caused uncountable grief, we would relieve the stress by abusing the drives. Unfortunately they have long since been disposed of, but the collection included:
* subject drive to 100t press (it got thinner!)
* immerse drive in acid (little change) or base (drive dissolves!)
* subject drive to industrial guillotine
* warm drive with oxy torch
* drop from 300 ft tower (little change)
and so on. All good fun.

#8I haven't finished the video just yet, but so far what he's describing is strange, weird, fanciful versions of Delay Line memory

BTC spends a lot of electricity to write data. Writing is a pretty key component of a hard drive or a harder drive.
