    Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data

    Whoa holy shit what

    […] the update triggered storage failures that cause drives to disappear, making them and their corresponding SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) unreadable by the OS, according to a new report. The issue purportedly surfaces during heavy write operations to certain NVMe SSDs as well as HDDs, especially when continuous sustained writes approach 50 GB on drives and exceed 60 per cent controller usage. This could potentially lead to a “high likelihood of file corruption when symptoms occurs” adds the report (Translated from Japanese by Grok AI).

    … oh

    Why always with the clickbaity headlines?

    who needed only 1 USB-A and two lightning cable ports?

    That MacBook has an additional USB-A port and an HDMI port on the other side

    When was Mini-DVI relevant?

    In the mid 2000s. DVI offered the advantage of digital signal and support for higher resolutions at a time when most other laptops still had a VGA port. Part of Apple’s option of “premium” technologies. HDMI didn’t really start to take hold until the late 2000s, and Apple eventually switched.

    Apple have generally been willing to adopt the more novel / premium connections in their products. Consider the 2016 MacBook Pro - Apple went all-in on Thunderbolt / USB Type C at a time where that was a rather uncommon connection, but in the years that followed we got an awesome array of aftermarket hubs and adapters that also benefited ultrabook users as the rest of tech started to follow suit.

    Don’t get me started on the iPhone USB-C port being limited to 500Mbps though.

    The battery needs to be able to deliver 100+ amps in an instant.

    A battery can fail in a manner where it’s not longer jumpable, cannot deliver the necessary amperage to start the motor, but still run accessory systems.

    I would check the battery’s voltage with a multimeter.

    I doubt this is a loose terminal connection. If the click you’ve described is coming from the engine compartment, that’s the starter relay switching. Wouldn’t be able to do that if there weren’t a complete battery circuit.

    It really shouldn’t be a minority thing though

    The Cash version is fine as a cover because it feels like a cover, another take on the song.

    But the original is absolutely dripping in atmosphere that really complements the lyrics.

    Anyone who prefers the Cash version probably doesn’t have the volume up loud enough, or they’re using cheap headphones / tinny phone speakers to listen to music.

    For the majority of my clients who use this kind of system, it is totally dysfunctional.

    Most of the records are incorrect, my guess is that they occasionally reset the password on mobile while the book is inaccessible and then don’t remember to update it in the book later.

    Effective use relies on the user’s understanding of umbrella accounts. I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

    As passwords get updated, it can become a mess of crossed out records with new ones squished into the margins. When a someone dies, anything written illegibly can be difficult for surviving family to discern. As the book gets filled out, it can get tricky to keep things alphabetized unless the user provisioned additional empty space between records.

    This system can work great for someone who is meticulous, neat, and organized.

    For your average person, I’ve had better luck solving the problem with a password manager synced to an online account that is protected by MFA and has recovery options that are also protected by MFA.
