Dementia is a progressive multi-system failure (CPU, RAM, SSD, Motherboard)

Anterograde Amnesia, on its own, is a failure to write to the SSD.

Medical amateurs, like tech amateurs, might struggle to differentiate between the two.

Medical professionals, like tech professionals, should not.

When it is not possible to upgrade the SSD, using the CPU and the RAM to compensate for the faulty SSD is an excellent hack.

There is a reason I check out Hacker News on an almost daily basis, this is it.

Although this is a PC-centric way of explaining the difference between Dementia and Anterograde Amnesia, I really like it nonetheless :)
