Seeing these errors means "the SSD is on its way out," according to HTWingNut.
Since we're simply talking about being unpowered for a while, wouldn't a simple full format fix/reset all ECC errors? No need to scrap the drive.
Surely a cap/transistor temporarily losing charge shouldn't permanently destroy it!
Anyways, HDD for 6-24 months offline data storage, SSD for always-online data storage, and flash if you're a masochist like me.
I realize that the OP is a Windows case, but I'd be rich if I had a penny for every time a savegame or config file is stored somewhere totally whack.
Just detach the blades. You can always re-attach them when you've landed.
Huh, I'm not sure they are comparable.
Didn't USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the ~~male~~ USB B would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Also, do we say "agent" now instead of "slave", or what is the new term?
In what kind of backward and lawless war zone does one have to live to require telling people not to shoot at other people?
LLMs (or really ChatGPT and MS Copilot) having hijacked the term "AI" is really annoying.
In more than one questionnaire or discussion:
Q: "Do you use AI at work?"
A: "Yes, I make and train CNN (find and label items in images) models etc."
Q: "How has AI influenced your productivity at work?"
A: ???
Can't mention AI or machine learning in public without people instantly thinking about LLM.
AI: "Can I copy your work?"
Phil: "Just don't make it obvious."
AI:
Huh? Isn't this about Microsoft changing out a button with a well established use, in order to take advantage of muscle memory and the unobservant?
Don't think it's much to do with people opposing technological advancement, but rather with opposing another company wanting to making a fool of them.

I personally started by playing around with Ubuntu, but it just didn't feel intuitive coming from windows.
Went over to Mint, and was very happy,especially with drivers and gaming. I even fully removed my windows installation during this period. Having gained a better understanding of Linux, I have now moved on again.
The only real drawback of Mint is not natively supporting KDE Plasma (as they did before). And yes, you can just install it yourself, but I wouldn't recommend a beginner who barely knows how to install Linux to attempt such an endevour.
One word of advice to OP: don't wait till you can't use Windows anymore. Start by dual booting and getting a hang of Linux, but with windows at the ready for any tasks you cannot yet do/feel comfortable doing on Linux. As you get a better hold of Linux, you should naturally begin to use Windows less.
The worst thing someone can do, is to jump OS without any backup or safety net. Learning to use Windows took a long time, getting a hang of new concepts and getting used to an alien environment. Now, already having a hang of "computers" (Windows), we have digital needs and expectations (E-Mail, gaming, etc.) which will need fulfilling, but many seem to forget that a different OS means different ways of doing our daily tasks and different challenges to handle.
And yes, "different", because Windows definitely also comes with it's own unique challenges, you just don't see them as much when having gotten used to them.
I have a friend who also stutters, or, I found out he stutters after knowing him for a few months.
Apparently he uses a similar technique where he "sings" what he wants to say in a slightly higher-pitched voice when talking in a professional setting. He sounds totally normal when using it, but you're not in doubt when he doesn't.
I'm sure it took a lot of training to master it.
Well, almost (49/51%).
Needless to say, the steam deck has definitely found its place playing Monster Hunter, Graveyard Keeper, and sometimes even Guild Wars 2 and factorio.
It does run Deep Rock Galactic and Vermintide 2 too, but I feel those are better played on the rig.
So, in short:
Not much different in Europe either.
Well, except for that one(?) time where a comedian registered a party to take a jab at politics and "accidentally" got voted in. Hehe.
