Overclockers.ru: Как я перестал экономить ресурс SSD, стал качать на него торренты и убрал все HDD из игрового ПК

The author began using personal computers in the early 2000s, starting with a 4.3 GB hard drive and upgrading to larger capacities over time, including a 20 GB, 80 GB, and a 320 GB drive in 2007. By 2009, they acquired a 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Green drive and subsequently added more drives. Data loss incidents, including one involving a 3 TB Western Digital Red drive, emphasized the importance of backing up critical information. Managing multiple hard drives in a gaming PC introduced challenges such as noise, vibration, and cable management, particularly with a maximum of seven hard drives and an SSD. Heat generation from multiple drives raised concerns about optimal operating temperatures, leading the author to prefer lower RPM models for long-term storage. The market for reliable hard drives has become complicated due to rebranded drives, making replacements harder to find. Attempts to transition to a dedicated file server faced difficulties due to rapid drive failures in a standard case without proper dampening.

Ubisoft lawyers say players never owned The Crew

Ubisoft's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit from California gamers, arguing that players do not have an inherent expectation of ownership after purchasing a game. This lawsuit follows the retirement of the online game The Crew in 2024, ten years after its release. Ubisoft's legal team stated that the game's closure was communicated on the product packaging and noted that the plaintiffs' claims include violations of California’s False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, as well as accusations of common law fraud and breach of warranty. The plaintiffs have amended their complaint to include a claim regarding unspent in-game currency, suggesting it may violate state law requiring gift cards to retain validity indefinitely.

Microsoft Warns 400 Million Windows Users—Do Not Update Your PC

Microsoft is rolling out its final Patch Tuesday of 2024, addressing a new zero-day vulnerability among 71 total vulnerabilities. The company has reversed its previous stance on Windows 11 installation requirements, now allowing updates on PCs that do not meet the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 hardware requirement. However, Microsoft warns that users who install Windows 11 on incompatible machines will forfeit their right to receive updates, including security updates, and that such devices may malfunction due to compatibility issues. A disclaimer states that damages due to lack of compatibility are not covered under the manufacturer warranty. Users are advised to proceed with caution, as many may lack the technical expertise to navigate the upgrade process.

Microsoft will let you install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs after all — but it’s not worth the trouble

Microsoft is encouraging users to transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 as support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025. Windows 11 requires a TPM 2.0 chip, and while Microsoft advises against installing it on unsupported PCs, guidance is available for those who choose to proceed without meeting the minimum specifications. Installing Windows 11 on incompatible devices may lead to issues and will result in the loss of support and updates, with any resulting damages not covered by warranty. Users have until October 2025 to upgrade their systems or purchase new hardware that supports TPM 2.0.

Microsoft allows Windows 11 to be installed on older, unsupported hardware but specifically nixes official support — minimum requirements for full compatibility remain unchanged

Microsoft has allowed users to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware but warns of potential instabilities and lack of official support, updates, or compatibility. A new guide has been released detailing the installation process and how to revert to the previous version if issues arise. The PC Health Check app can help assess eligibility for Windows 11. Approximately 61.82% of Windows users are still on Windows 10, which will reach its end of life in October 2025. Users installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices will see a disclaimer that voids their warranty and will not receive updates, including security patches. A watermark will indicate hardware incompatibility. Users can rollback to Windows 10 within 10 days of upgrading, and support for Windows 10 will continue with an annual fee. Users are encouraged to upgrade their systems or consider installing a TPM chip, or they can use Windows 11 at their own risk or explore Linux as an alternative.

Microsoft now allowing Windows 11 on older, incompatible PCs

Microsoft has changed its position on installing Windows 11 on older PCs that do not meet the hardware requirements, allowing users to install the operating system on incompatible machines. Official instructions for this process are available on Microsoft's support page, but the company warns that installing Windows 11 on ineligible hardware may lead to compatibility issues, system crashes, and a lack of essential security updates. Users must acknowledge a disclaimer stating that their PC does not meet the minimum requirements, and if they proceed, their device will no longer be supported and will not receive updates. The key requirement for Windows 11 has been the presence of a TPM 2.0 chip, but users can now upgrade without it. After installation, users will see a watermark on their desktop and a notification in the Settings app, which can only be removed through registry modifications. Users have the option to revert back to Windows 10 within 10 days of the upgrade by navigating to Settings > System > Recovery > Recovery options, and it is recommended to create a backup before upgrading.
