The German tech bubble has a saying when it’s about Seagate: “Sie geht oder sie geht nicht”. It plays on the fact that “sie geht” (literally “she runs”¹, meaning “it works”) sounds very similar to “Seagate”. So the literal joke is “Either it works or it doesn’t”, and the meta joke is “Seagate or not Seagate”. ¹ hard disk (“die Festplatte”) has feminine grammatical gender in German -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Just don’t ignore it.
