I'm currently without a computer - Windows blew up and my SSD is unreadable. There was all this stuff in the news about how the Windows 24H2 or whatever update bricks solid state drives, then a bunch of stuff "debunking" it. Well, maybe it isn't all bunk after all. I have been backing up, not as often as I should apparently, so if I can't recover my files it might not be catastrophic, but it will be damn annoying. I don't know exactly where the blame lies, but I know that Windows is the thing on the computer that changed (and changed again... and again... all these damn endless updates of buggy beta release software! Is it me or has continuous development come to mean a bunch of bozos selling their wine before it's time? This kind of thing is wearing away my patience with them, there has to be a better way.
I have had this problem before. Windows killed my hard drive more than once. I'm now currently running Zorin OS on my gaming PC. I love it. My wife and I use it for playing Far Cry 5 in the evenings.
The noticing will continue
