A whole lot of teeny tiny semiconductor switches that can be set to on or off. I'm oversimplifying. Google it if you're curious.

Old school hard drives used magnetic discs to store data. Modern SSDs don't use magnetism to store data. It's safe.

M1 Max vs M3 Pro(11core) for coding? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

M3 Pro. The main difference between Pro and Max (of the same generation ) is more GPU cores on the Max. For programming you don't really need much GPU power but a faster CPU will speed up your workflow (namely improved build times). The newer M3 Pro should outperform the M1 Max for your needs.

Is paying $300 worth it for the M2 pro chip? in c/[email protected]

For $300 you not only get a more powerful CPU/GPU but also a higher quality display and more built-in ports (HDMI, SD card reader, extra USB-C). The 14" could have a longer useable lifespan due to having more processing power and active cooling but how much longer is hard to say.
