We leave drives A and B reserved in honor and remembrance of floppy disks. Think of it as reserving a famous sports player's number. Those things could hold so much data that we still use a floppy disk as the icon for saving things today.
As an IT worker, there are people already in the workforce who have literally no clue what a "drive" is because they don't use traditional computers anymore. My youngest brother is a freshman in college; I offered to get him a laptop before he left as a bday present and he told me no. Apparently it's all about iPads now.
You can also assign numbers (and I believe even entire strings with a custom kernel driver) but Explorer doesn’t recognise them, so only really useful if you’re desperate for more mount points and don’t just want to put them within other folders.
Or you just want to be silly and make your OneDrive the 1:\ drive!
On a Mac, Option+Shift+3 is screenshot. This is because back in 1985, Option+Shift+1 and 2 were reserved for ejecting the primary and secondary floppy drives.
Yes. I was actively trying to get gaming on Linux. I’m currently stuck on finding out how the fans work and how I can cap the framerate. Until either one is solved, I’m stuck on Windows, because throwing out 550 fps with fans that don’t really care about fanning is not something I’m willing to do.
