My sample size of myself has had 1 drive fail in decades. It was a solid state drive. Thankfully it failed in a strangely intermittent way and I was able to recover the data. But still, it surprised me as one would assume solid state would be more reliable. That spinning rust has proven to be very reliable. But regardless I’m sure SSD will be/are better in every way.

As always it’s important to get the thoughts of sports or movie stars before making any judgements.

According to German soccer star Toni Kroos, Germany is worse off which doesn’t seem like a metric of success.

He said he felt that Germany had become less secure since he left, and was now concerned his child would not come back “unharmed” from a night out alone.

Kroos told the Lanz & Precht podcast: “I think Germany is a great country and I’m happy to be here, but it’s not really the same country that it was 10 years ago when we left.”

But of course he hasn’t lived there for 10 years so who knows what he’s basing this on.
