Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go
Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn't a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.
I can't be certain they mean the filesystem or if she's asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it's external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?
Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.
You know this one's dated because I'm pretty sure by today's standards having only a C: drive is quite unusual. Hard to find statistics on it but I'd wager most people have at least 2 storage devices, especially an SSD / HDD combo is pretty popular.
I have never met a female who seemed to be aware of what really is, at least other than "the part that stores stuff".
I'm not even trying to say I wanna date or be friends with one. That isn't a trait that's necessary at all. I know they exist, I've seen articles written by them and such. But I've never met one familiar with how a computer works at all.
I'd love to meet one just to prove to myself they're real. I want to believe... I mean I already know, but my brain just doesn't believe til it sees anymore.
