> Not sure why I'm being downvoted for being factually correct

Maybe because your statement about SSDs is incorrect. Consumer SSDs have spare blocks too, and wear leveling prevents the scenario you're describing.

> usb adapter kept getting io problems there too with zfs, drive gets disconnected during scrub or high load

That's usually caused by the adapter chipset overheating. Don't use USB adapters for important data.

USB/SATA adapters are incredibly flaky. Some don't support TRIM, some have major firmware bugs, many overheat during long data transfers and disconnect from the host. I'd strongly advise against using them for any important data.

That's not what the message you linked claims at all. Maybe you missed the "in this message" at the end of the sentence?

Claude Opus 4.1:

"I'll search for the current status of seahorse emoji to give you the most up-to-date information.

No, there is no seahorse emoji in the official Unicode standard, and there never has been one. The Unicode Consortium, which is responsible for approving and standardizing emojis, has not included a seahorse in any of its emoji releases.

Interestingly, this is a well-documented example of the "Mandela Effect" - a phenomenon where groups of people collectively misremember something that never actually existed. Many people are convinced they've seen or used a seahorse emoji before, but it's likely they're either experiencing a false memory or remembering seahorse stickers or emoji-style images from messaging apps that aren't part of the standard Unicode set.

A seahorse emoji was actually proposed to Unicode in 2018 but was declined, and there hasn't been a successful proposal since. If you'd like to see a seahorse emoji added in the future, you can submit a proposal to the Unicode Consortium, though the approval process is quite rigorous.

So while we have plenty of other sea creatures like tropical fish, octopus, crab, lobster, squid, and dolphin, the seahorse remains notably absent from our emoji keyboards!"
