Fuck. I’m old.
Now i’ve never truly known, but i’m 88% sure it means that storage is being accessed/hard drive is being used. One use case i can think of is when your laptop is stuck updating for such a long time and that light isnt flashing, you might be able to shut it down without damage to it.
Wrap it up, gentlemen. We’re considered old now
Your disk is disking
Coffee heater on/off indicator
Yeah mine is always on especially hot anytime I do anything more than open youtube
Back in the day hard drives where composed of physical discs. A bit like those CD things the kids of yore would put in their boombox… shit now I need to explain what a boombox is. You know what it doesn’t matter, don’t worry about that light. If it turns red and you hear grinding noises, just toss the whole thing in the bin.
That’s the self destruct option.
It’s a storage indicator. Pretty standard icon of old school platters that is still used as a visual icon to represent data storage regardless of type in most technical drawings.
Well I’m old
Wait until you find out what the save icon represents
I keep a 1.44 floppy in school to show kids, so they know.
Man, I used to be so good at hucking those things.
Hero.
And… I’m old.
