I love Windows!!
>>106499753Enjoy your dead SSD
>>106499761Truly the newest FUD of our time
>>106499770probably the worst too since windows has plenty of other issues going on right now
>afro ergonomic computing
>>106499761ah yes hitler had v1 rocket v2 rocket and a beetle
>>106499770It's not actually FUD though, loads of people are reporting the issue.https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/latest-windows-11-security-patch-might-be-breaking-ssds-under-heavy-workloads-users-report-disappearing-drives-following-file-transfers-including-some-that-cannot-be-recovered-after-a-rebootIt doesn't seem to affect everyone though but it's a real issue.
>>106499812I'd expect if they can figure out what's wrong then the September update will fix the issue
>>106499816So far they've denied there's even a problem altogether, but I wouldn't surprised if an update silently fixes it and they just don't mention it again.
>>106499761>he says while posting from a web browser which is one of the biggest culprits of massive ssd writes
>>106500150That's not hypocritical at all though, you expect it from your web browser, you don't expect it from your operating system. Not to mention the fact you can run with cache completely in RAM if you really want and then the browser will make zero writes to disk.

I love seeing the repo diffs on Gentoo when I eix-sync. I wonder why other distributions don't have a similar "state of the repo since you last updated diff". It's a great way to discover new packages that you might not have heard of before.I just found harper a grammar checker, this way. It seems like a useful tool:https://writewithharper.com/
eix-sync
>>106500199Nobody expects their web browser to write loads of shit to your disk constantly...It would make more sense for your os to be doing it, not your browser.
>>106500674I think you would be very disappointed in your web browser's performance if it never cached anything and always had to re-download every single image, script and static HTML and CSS file over and over again.
>>106500668Example of the diff I mean.Do any other package managers on other distros display a similar diff?
