This morning, someone launched into a technical explanation of a computer component for my benefit, without even bothering to check if I might know a thing or two. Initially, I just listened, but then I had to step in to correct a slight inaccuracy - one that could have actually caused problems.
I was promptly verbally assaulted and told that ignorant people should remain silent and listen instead of talking back. I politely retorted that, in principle, they were right, but that the specific thing they'd just said was incorrect and could mislead the others listening.
Nope. They doubled down, told me to be quiet or leave, since I was so determined to "remain in my ignorance".In the end, I just fell silent and let it go. I now pretend to believe that SSD and NVMe drives have tiny, high-speed rotating platters inside - miniature ones, of course - that spin so fast that if the power is cut, their momentum keeps them going long enough to finish writing the data, preventing any loss. It all makes perfect sense now.
@stefano 'slight inaccuracy'??? What do they think the first S in SSD is for?

@stefano I have no words.

@mwl A person who doesn't work in the IT world (thankfully) but, unfortunately, passes themselves off as an expert and has that arrogance and self-assurance that usually only the ignorant have.

@danielcberman I had many but lost them all

@stefano I See. So, the 'Spinning State' is kept, of course...

@CKL small spinning disks, maybe. Or super spinning disks.

@stefano Had this happen years ago, when I recommended a change to a setting in an app that I’d been using for 25 years and consulting for nearly 20 at that point.
Asked them to explain it, and they spent 20 minutes at a whiteboard full of lines and boxes and disks and databases.
I opened up the documentation, and shared on the projector the three paragraphs that clearly explained the three options.
The team decided to implement my recommendation based on the documentation, and no apology was ever given for this individual wasting everyone’s time.
Thankfully the individual was moved to a different department shortly after that.

@JustinDerrick at least, they were wise enough to follow your recommendation
