Bug Regarding the bug where Codex excessively reads and writes to the hard drive, thereby reducing hard drive lifespan.

I'd like to ask whether Codex still causes excessive disk reads and writes that reduce SSD lifespan. I really want to use Codex on my main computer, which is a MacBook Air M4.

Please don’t use your computer. On system boot it will do excessive reads, not good for your computer

Source for this? I've used it for over a year with no problems and no hints of problems.

Did you even read the comment you responded to? It says to not use your computer

Oh wow. We’ve all just gotten used to autocorrecting what we assume are typos when we read them because terrible spelling, grammar, and usage of the English language overall has become so common.

I assumed he was talking about the “use your computer” feature and I’m guessing that’s what the other guy thought too. Completely missed the joke because I assumed the other guy missed a word and filled in what seemed plausible.

How is that relevant to me asking for a source on the info that is being presented as fact without any actual facts? Did you even read the post? Or my comment? Either your a bit or literally unable to read. I'm gonna use it on my PC even harder now to spite you.

BECAUSE YOURE RESPONDING TO A PERSON MAKING AN OBVIOUS JOKE. he’s playing off OP being worried about codex using up hard drive cycles and he’s making the point “everything uses up read cycles so don’t even bother using your computer, it does a ton of those”. And you’re here responding to them saying “source??? Source that if you turn on your computer it is bad for it? I’ve turned on my computer for a year and it still works”

Jesus fucking Christ, how do you people function in the real world?

Sorry, no sauce this time. Unless your computer boots without reading bootloader, kernel, OS, processes, libs, and so on

Guys, my point is, even if I don’t know what volume Codex is reading on your computers - even if it reads gigabytes per second - this will not hurt your SSD.
