Whether it is this or tracking/disallowing firearms purchases, the payment processors should not be making editorial decisions on legal commerce.

If the item or service is legal in the jurisdiction, the payment processors should be on the hook for agnostically allowing the transactions. Period.

I would assume this makes sense for adding extra storage to small form factor type of builds. I would be curious about the operating temps though and how that could negatively impact the drives lifespan.

Yeah, this blows. As I have stated in other threads, my last full desktop build was in 2014/2015.

Now Microsoft is forcing an artificial deadline on me, as I cannot upgrade my non-TPM hardware to Windows 11 (Win 11 sucks ass anyway). So my choices are to run Win10 past EOL on my old rig, install a Linux distro to extend the life of the old rig, or build new. Frankly I’m kinda done with Microsofts bullshit.

I would like to do a new desktop build but cannot justify $4-5K for a commensurate bump in specs.

I guess I could try to slum it with a Intel Arc Battlemage build, but I’m not sure about the Linux driver support.

Yay guess I get to do an Intel Arc build
