28 days agoThey always were PATA, IDE was always the wrong term to use, but it was commonly used anyways. SATA drives are also IDE drives. It’s not really a useful term anymore because we don’t use separate daughter boards for hard drives anymore.
the master branch in git refers to mastering, the same as the term “remastered”, rather than slavery. I prefer main anyways.
