Cool so it’ll brick my work computer (⌐■_■)
“Translated by Grok.” Cool, now I know to avoid that website.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Using grok today should be enough reason to be sent to prison, unless it’s for purposes of showing how db and evil Elmo is

So glad I ditched windows, looks like it was just in time.
Looks to be region specific and occurs on specific controllers under heavy writes (50gb+). Symptoms clear after a reboot.
Thanks for the context. The headline makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download. (and remember, it unpacks at the same time, a 50GB download is more like 125GB of total write)
So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.
But it gives the religious cult a chance to knock on your door and ask if you’ve heard of their lord and saviour, Linus.
I’d like to know more about Linus Rap Tips though
I sure hope nobody recommends me to use a free and open source operating system that never has issues like this over this proprietary OS that I’m used too and have been paying licensing fees for since I started using computers.
Linux has had its fair share of nasty bugs
The difference is that you are unlikely to be affected unless you are running a very recent untested kernel.
I live dangerously with my fully up to date Arch box.
But I also have an LTS Ubuntu box that’s been humming away in the background for about the last five-ish years? Just a quiet little file server, doing its job and being ignored.

fuck linux and every fanboy it has
Because you got older and realized just because your teachers and parents wasted their money now that you’re an adult there a better way?

ever use BTRFS?
I’ve only recently been made aware of btrfs’ tendency to completely fuck data at failure states.
I’ve been using that filesystem on fedora for maybe two years now without issue, though I suppose I don’t regularly find myself hitting the issues required to cause these problems.
Well yeah, like the article I linked says:
It has now been nearly eight years since the “experimental” tag was removed, but many of btrfs’ age-old problems remain unaddressed and effectively unchanged. So, we’ll repeat this once more: as a single-disk filesystem, btrfs has been stable and for the most part performant for years. But the deeper you get into the new features btrfs offers, the shakier the ground you walk on—that’s what we’re focusing on today.
So if you’re just using it for your PC hard drive you’re probably fine. The problem is that BTRFS is intended to provide similar features to RAID and ZFS, but that’s where it starts failing.
fuck linux bloody
More 24H2 shittery. I locked all my Windows machines to the 23H2 track after installing it on my desktop completely broke all networking functionality.
At my workplace 23H2 specifically causes most of unbootable situations where bootloader has to be repaired in some way or another.
Strange. I’ve had zero issues out of 23H2 and I update it religiously.
Same here with updates but it might be caused by use case and hardware. E.g. most of users use laptops and a lot of them have vPro functionality. Exact source of the issue is not identified but these two are best candidates in my opinion. If you are using a basic home PC then none of it affects you.
Incredible, glad my hardware was arbitrarily incompatible
