I see your bankruptcy, and I blame it on years of mismanagement and stagnancy (YouTube)

But- we’re not on Reddit. Are we?

The headline is a bit sensational. The bug only manifests in rare conditions, like large file writes, and the error state resolves on reboot. Additionally, it only affects some models of drives. Still. Good to be made aware of. Thanks for sharing!

Whether it’s for me or not, the people still need to be warned. Thank you for your input

Don’t Google that

You can run from USB to see how it works without installing, then install once you’ve found one that works well/that you like. Let us know how it goes!

Welp, that’s enough Internet for today

IIRC, this is one of the reasons that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, so that the drive can be encrypted using the TPM as the key.

A lot of people discover Linux and open source software at the same time, so it’s in the same ballpark.

I wonder if Honey’s new ad blocker Pie does things like this too.

Yes! The Amandas were the best.

Calculate how much time is lost by the delays and crashes caused by old hardware. If you can break down how expensive not upgrading is, it might be easier to sell the upgrade. You could also break down the upgrade into waves, replacing only a third (or maybe a fourth) of the machines each year, starting with the oldest, and with the users who rely on them most. Another benefit to the wave approach is that you’ll reduce the likelihood of having to do another big upgrade every 3-4 years.

Ye of little faith

Yes indeed!

Let us know how it goes-for Science!

No problem!
