News/Article The EU Commission's Final Response to the Stop Killing Games Initiative - "We cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially".
TLDR; They basically sided with the industry rather than the consumers and refuses to take action. They also keep misunderstanding the intentions of the Initiative due to constant lies and lobbying from the games industry.

Meme/Macro PSA: Have a perfectly functional SSD in a laptop you haven't used in a while? You actually don't. It's probably dead. Yeah, apparently SSDs just do that. Guess how I figured out?
2 old pcs I have got bricked like this. Their storage HDDs are completely fine though.
I don't remember anyone ever discussing this drawback 10 years ago when they were the hot new thing.
Edit: "bricked" is the wrong word to use, sorry for the confusion. I meant the laptops were effectively useless until I replaced the SSDs and installed an OS on them. One of the SSDs I checked to see if it was still usable by connecting it to a different pc but it wasnt recognized. I threw it out.

Discussion How do I ban the AI summary under my posts?
Obviously I am not looking for distro recommendations and the post is satire but there is this stupid AI wanting to poke its nose everywhere. How do I make sure it never appears under my post anywhere?

Build/Battlestation Finally built my first ever PC. Now I can open three whole tabs in Chrome without a sweat!
After a lot of planning and some incredible help from a friend, my first PC build is officially up and running.
The front view looks clean, but I am way too embarrassed to show the cable management behind the back plate. Let's just say the side panel is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
The Component List:
GPU: Gigabyte Eagle OC SFF GeForce RTX 5070 (12GB)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9000 Desktop Ready
RAM: A single stick of DDR5 32 GB 5600MHz
Motherboard: MSI Pro B850-P WiFi
Cooler: SMX Kazumi Pro Air Cooler
PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 ATX 3.1 Ready
What games should I boot up first to really test out the RTX 5070? Drop your recommendations below!
