Incorrect. I get down with the sickness or with my bad self.

Physical media has always been the best.

Streaming exists only because people found it more convenient. Unfortunately, we live in a society where convenience always, always wins.

And in the end, they'll end up paying more for streaming than they did for physical media. More money for a worse product -- but they get that instant gratification. It's like a drug.

Sigh. I don't care anymore. I don't even want to hear what laws it breaks, what mandates it breaks, whatever. I don't what to hear who is on blast, and I don't want to hear who is on notice.

There. Are. Never. Any. Consequences.

All of this has become the theater of the absurd.

Housing is a necessity for everyone. It should not be some rich boomer's "investment opportunity".

If there are absolutely no errors in event log before the restart, PSU really is a top contender. The system will have had no warnings of any kind. If the PSU stops delivering adequate power, it's likely to restart, and this is at a low level (i.e. the motherboard restarts the system).

It's difficult to diagnose too. For mine, I was able to get more-or-less consistent restarts by requiring more PSU current by putting the system under heavier load. Once I saw the restarts occur as fans / drives / GPU were spooling up, I swapped my PSU. That was the issue.

The good news is that (well-made) PSUs usually fail in a way that won't damage components. And yes, even good PSUs can fail, especially if they're being used above their rating. And even the best PSUs don't last forever -- best practice to change them out every few years, in any event.

Vibe coding is horrible in the wrong hands, but a skilled programmer can utilise it to carry out boring tasks.

If things continue as they are, eventually there will be no more skilled programmers.

Because there are no consequences for anything anymore. At least not for the rich.

The writing was on the wall long before a convicted felon was allowed back into the Oval Office.

Remember this the next time some politician says we don't have money for services that would actually help US citizens.

Not that it'll make a difference, but at least you'll know you were right as the world burns down around you.
