Having read a proper report on this earlier today, that headline is infuriating.
From the concept of a “gaming SSD” to the implication that the drives are being physically damaged… Maybe there’s a reason why written gaming media died, you guys.
I just came here to see if anyone could explain what a gaming SSD was lmao
It’s an ordinary SSD but they added a zero to the price.
And RGB LEDs, gotta remember those!
They have a link in the article to their best gaming ssds, maybe just a way to drive clicks to a blog article for ad revenue
That maybe why they did it, but it doesn’t really refute the point either.
It’s because they earn money from linking to affiliate websites so they need to make it big and scary
Journalism at its finest…
Link to proper report would be cool
It would, but I saw a link here like a day ago on a site I’m not familiar with, clicked through it once on a different computer than I’m on now, read it and moved on with my day, so finding it again may be as hard for either of us, I’m sorry to say.
You can’t accidentally install corrupted updates if you don’t have Windows on your computer in the first place 😉
It’s a good thing the users have control over which updates happen when!
I hate the way the phrase this whatever is used in headlines. Windows can forget your SSD exists & possible data loss can occur if you install KB5063878.
Good thing moved to KDE last year then!
Release date: 8/12/2025
At least they’ve got a few months to sort it out before it goes live.
Is that a week ago or in December? ISO8601 is your friend
