Introducing the Yeston RX 5700 XT... Waifu.
((Yes, this is a real thing))

[wierd]

Waste of resources and inefficient in every category.

More expensive than sending it to 'the farm'

((It's not a coding language, but I think it's Linux. If I'm reading it right, this command overwrites the first disk with zeroes, destroying all data on the disk))

((No, unfortunately. I just looked up "RX 5700 XT Waifu" on Google Images, and I just picked the first thing that popped up. Here's a review of this thing, in case you're still not convinced that it exists))

((Correct. This calls the dd command, and tells it to read from the InputFile (if), which is a special file that returns an endless stream of 0s, and write it to the first scsi disk as the OutputFile (of).  It does this in chunks of 512 bytes (bs=512). There *ARE* legitimate reasons to do this-- One is when a mechanical spinny disk starts developing bad sectors. There is technology baked into basically any drive newer than around 1995, called SMART.  This technology helps the drive track failures. However, due to a quirk in how SMART is implemented, defective sectors are only dynamically reallocated from the defect track on a failed WRITE operation, not a failed read.  As such, to get the drive to reallocate bad sectors with clean ones from the defect management track, you have to write to every single sector on the disk. Zero-filling the drive is an effective way of doing that.  Additionally, destructive overwrite of the drive is a good way to efface any unsalubrious data you might have on there, should you have a need to do so-- Still, in the latter case, I would suggest using /dev/urandom instead of /dev/zero.  It generates a high quality stream of random integers instead of 0s, which is more likely to frustrate forensic recovery.))

((It is basically a terrible quality version of a popular video card, that has been festooned with anime boobie girls.  In performance reviews, it is shown to overheat terribly due to its inferior cooling design, and to perform in a lacklustre manner compared to the other offers in the market in that price range. Hence my scathing response about it being inefficient in every category.))

((Surprisingly, this is in Chinese.

I don't understand most of it, but with some technology's help - here's a rough translation. coalboat could do a better job, no doubt.

"I've always had it in me {my body}, something something

The king held a ceremony and in front of the citizens, gave this waifu her Y shaped necklace."

I stopped here because it's way too much. My phone's auto translator just said "Bow at the feet of Sakura, dear Sakura." and I'm feeling uncomfortable.
