    10TB ironwolf seems dead ?

    For me Spinrite always have the last word on drive being dead or not. If Spinrite cannot detect/benchmark or start working on the drive, that's it. If initial work is complete, I let it run full R/W/Verify pass overnight.

    Micron exiting consumer memory business.

    I've upgraded my main PC from 5800X to 5950X. Very happy with it. Most powerful CPU for AM4, in multithreaded tasks (not gaming). I am going to keep it for a long time. No reason to upgrade to AM5 for me right now, my PC works great and perform all tasks I need from it. If you need to upgrade to...

    Disabling Intel ME

    Not personal experience, but you can buy laptops with custom BIOS, or open source BIOS like Coreboot, and IME fully disabled. There are laptop vendors out there specialized in doing this. Have not seen much of that going on desktops, though.

    LinkedIn and Microsoft are illegally searching your computer.

    You can also run full Windows desktop in a VM, while operating from Linux host. Nice option to go all work. Just an option, if you find hardware you are happy with 🙂

    LinkedIn and Microsoft are illegally searching your computer.

    Well, that's work, forgivable. You are using tools you been given, or have to use. But home computer? There's no excuse to not install Linux right now. Company-supplied laptop COSTS YOU? How come? They either supplied it, or you bought it.

    Anyone Else Leave their Case Open?

    My friend used to keep his PC case open. He is the kind of guy who owns a farm with 50 goats and 10 dogs. About six months ago, one of the puppies, still not fully trained, peed on the computer. Normally, the PC would have been fine, but since the case was open, the motherboard got fried. To...
