They have the misfortune to see everyone they care about get old and die, while they linger on

Dragons live forever, but not so little boys.

Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys

One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

    Toy Story was great. But after three or four, it becomes a nightmare. You have these plastic, immortal figures cursed to live forever. They can't tell the ones they love that they're real and have emotions, feelings, and desires. They have the misfortune to see everyone they care about get old and die, while they linger on. They can't die. They have no agency. They exist to serve. They are slaves to children that don't know how the world works.

    What does this say about our world? What lesson can we learn from their tragic lives?

    Maybe we should pity them. Maybe we shouldn't grow attached to them. Maybe it's a commentary on how man creates out of a desire to live, only to grow bored and toss that love away when it's no longer novel. Maybe it says that even our best intentions lead to misery and torture.

    Our maybe they should just stop milking the franchise because it's uncomfortable now.

    Toy Story movies are legitimately the best movies they should stop making. 4 was good, and I have no doubt 5 will be good. But whatever happened to trilogies? A trio of Toy Story movies were great as-is, and the ending of 3 was perfect.

    Some of you might think my theory is correct but I'm not serious about it because I'm not that cynical about movies. I think Pixar loves its Toy Story films and genuinely wanted to tell a story about what happens to toys when kids become distracted by technology.

    Also, from the perspective of trying to make money, I'm sure Disney is also making money off apps, games, and streaming. They don't care if the money comes from physical toys or digital toys. They're probably selling tablets in the likeness of the film's villain. Convincing kids to go back to physical toys will gain them money in one area but lose money in another area

    There is a white paper on SSD and heat popping the electrons out of there trapped memory spots. I will have to search it. But an unpowered SSD in 40C will start showing signs of data loss in a week, hotter temps and your a could be gone in a month.

    HDD, yes run it always instead of stop start

    I've done a quick search but have not located the science article yet, I will check later. However the ssd standards have this. The device should meet that, but as you can see if you had a hot closet in India your data could be gone in 3 weeks.

    Per JESD218, a client class SSD must maintain its data integrity at the defined BER for only 500 hours at 52°C (less than 21 days) or 96 hours at 66°C (only four days).
