"consistant" doesn't mean it never changes between versions idiots.

it means it works the same across different subcontexts, within the current system. yolo wizard is right in this dull semantic argument

consistent means "acting or done in the same way over time". hold on homescreen making the icons movable has acted in the same way over time. its consistent. pleas eo come back with a better argument ro perhaps a brain.

MS added new compression algos to NTFS compression. It was only to xpress4k before but now there's xpress8k, xpress16k, and lzw increasing in cpu overhead and compression ratios as you go. LZW increased the compression rate for sparse garbage like log files by 50% which minimal added overhead but you can only access it from the command line with the compact.exe utility

got a call asking why onedrive has a 10 meg file limit. not knowing what the client was talking about, had them send me the link to check.

it was an excel file, and onedrive share links open directly into excel online...which itself has a 10 meg file limit and gives you no options to save the file locally or whatever, it just errors out. so you have to put the excel file into a folder and share access to the folder instead. microsoft's weird exceptions are giving me french grammar flashbacks

No, and that probably won't change until SSDs are completely ubiquitous. Latency and overhead becomes a big consideration for filesystem compression, if you're writing the bigger the block you're working with the more latency you're incurring to write the file. When you're doing random reads out of a large file, you have to deflate an entire chunk at a time to access its data. 64kb stripe sizes are raid arrays are fairly common and if you start compressing in 128, 256kb, or larger chunks what was a single read io to pull 2kb out of that 64kb chunk now becomes 2, 4, or however much larger you decide to make it.

But that's the problem, the massive fragmentation is bad on a hard drive and negligible on an SSD. If you need 10ms to seek, you might as well read 1MB while you're there.

on a good platter drive with ncq, that's still lost read time that could have been queued up with other commands
