Take it from someone who saw it when it first aired on standard definition analogue TV: it doesn't really matter all that much. The performance of the actors and the story is what's important!
When I first returned to it rewatching B5 a couple of years ago, I actaully found it difficult to navigate. It took me a while to realise that my brain was parsing the block of navigation buttons at the centre top of the screen as a banner ad and filtering it out!
Agreed! In fact it is kindof annoying. Every set of orderable elements has a worst element, therefore every show has some bad episodes. You want to tell new viewers to just skip those episodes if they want, but it’s practically impossible with B5. If you skip TKO because part of it is cliche then you also miss the essential key to understanding Ivanova.
That won't overwrite pages not allocated to a namespace (which can happen due to wear levelling/underprovisioning, or because the controller has decided to stop using that page because it's unhealthy).
Flash looks like a simple array of blocks, but under the hood there is a controller that allocates writes to different pages. You need to tell the controller to erase all pages if you want to guarantee data destruction.
What's the difference between this and sanitize? Should we be doing both?
[edit] sanitize runs on the controller level while format works on the namespace level. So I suppose formatting won't touch any pages not allocated to a namespace.
I wish there was _any_ way to find out which NVME controllers supported which operation before you buy them!
I suppose arguably the kernel, or at least some component of the OS, should be freezing/locking drives as they come online. The firmware doing so as one-off operation during boot is a workaround for the lack of this being done by the OS.
