So satisfying. So irrelevant. :)
It's like watching your computer play a weird version of Minesweeper.
... i had a great sense of accomplishment after this. Prided myself doing this at least once a week.
Kids today don't even know, with their fancy SSDs and OS filesystem management.
*Kid looks up from their Chromebooks" "What's a file management system?"
I'm of the age where I remember having to format a hard drive yourself after you bought it.
Ahhhh ... the good old bad old Fdisk days.
sys a: c:
Took me a couple years to figure that out, hahaha.

Watching it involved a degree of tension (...something could be wrong), but was mostly soothing for the mind.
I do this to my brain every morning to keep things ticking along
So mesmerizing to watch that!
Could you imagine defragging still being necessary on these monster TB+ drives? It would take days.
Frankly, I miss it!
Also, the fact that nobody knows what it is anymore has denied me one of my favorite analogies for the function of dreaming!
Screenshot taken at 7:26PM.
Defrag finished at 11:49PM.
When you watch that screen for 2 hours and then after the progress bar finished after 2 hours you only then realize it was only the first pass.
I think it had 3 passes or even more.
I bet this feels good as hell
Oh the *hours* I absolutely didn't* spend watching this 😁😁
*did, obvis
what sort of neat freak defragged a nearly completely defragged drive XD
that drive is pretty full .. not good for old school ntfs ..
people get scared about the so called deep state conspiracy, here's proof we've been overrun by the solid state
Brb, grabbing a drink. Oh I’ll be out of the office for an hour or so.
Bring back fragmented hard drives. I want to be the little dude who arranges the blocks all nice.
thought this said "degaussing" and was confused why you posted a screenshot instead of a photo of the crt lmao
this was the real life equivalent of hacking the mainframe
Windows 98 simulator. Why do I miss those days
this was the og idle game
So very satisfying ... when done on your time table and not "FFFFFFF, I need this thing to finish so I can get ______done."
I still have my emachine, Win 95 Professional desktop. No idea what to do with it.
I remember feeling like a hacker pro ultra dev master the first time I ran this on my Acer Windows 95 machine.
I miss this… so soothing to watch…
I need to run this on my brain
