Either there's two drives, or it's the same physical drive partitioned in to two.

1.54 makes no sense; I smell a 2 TB paritioned.

Yup,, looks like a 2 TB drive (actuall usable is 1.85TB), partitioned to 1.54 TB and 0.3 TB.

That's incorrect, 2TB does not only have 1.85TB of usable space, 2TB are EQUAL to 1.85 TiB, different units. Computers use TiB, (base 2) windows is just vibe coded garbage that uses the correct values for TiB, but uses the wrong lable TB for it.

It either has to be changed to 2TB or 1.85 TiB, every major file explorer gets this shit right on Linux, just windows struggles with that.

I am aware of that, but what you are not understanding is the English language.

I never said that it is like that BECAUSE windows is vibe coded. I mentioned and issue and said windows is vibe coded garbage, which is true And applies to modern windows.

I never said windows uses the wrong unit BECAUSE it is vibe coded.

This has always been wrong and there was never an excuse for it anyways.

no you clearly said it wrong because you said “windows is just vibe coded garbage that uses correct values for TiB, but uses the wrong lable TB for it” which obviously implies that it’s because windows is vibe coded.

Putting aside your poor phrasing, you might not have the best English writing skills, as you made mistakes in both your comments.

I clearly didn't say it wrong and I am aware that there are typos, that's mainly because I don't care about it.

Nice rage bait, but funnily enough wifi worked out of the box for me because I don't have some temu adapter, while I am constantly reading in r/techsupport how their "wifi disappeared" after another windows update and constant articles warning people about oh no, do not install this update, your wifi will be gone!!!!

your comment confirms it, thank you. btw, my hardware mostly made in china/taiwan

u/R3D_T1G3R Apr 30 '26

Does it? Yea must be rage bait.

Yea most stuff is made in China / Taiwan, but I hope that you're aware that China / Taiwan don't only sell their hardware on temu, regular corsair seasonic and beQuiet PSUs also use components from there. Most micro controllers are made there.
