Isn’t it funny how news bias bubbles work? The articles about the update causing SSD failures was everywhere on Lemmy. But after thousands of hours of testing from Microsoft, Phison, and various journalism outlets, the issue isn’t replicable. But I haven’t seen that reported on here at all because it doesn’t make Microsoft look bad.

Microsoft is plenty bad, we don’t need to massage data to make them seem even worse.

(To be fair I wasn’t on Lemmy much this weekend, it’s possible I just missed this.)

Lemmy loves Linux and rightly so, but it hates Windows even more.

Example, this is a no-subject memes community, and you’ll find plenty of anti-Windows stuff here. And the actual linuxmemes community sometimes feels like it could be renamed to hatewindowsmemes.

  Not surprising, the same way /r/atheism was, for a while at least, more like /r/antichristianity. Part of the identity is opposition to “the enemy.”
  
  Personally I think that part of the identity is unhelpful, and focus is better put on the identity being about what makes it the better choice. Like Dems losing in 2016 and 2024 because a good chunk of their messaging was “look how bad Trump is,” which only served to broadcast Trump even more.
  
  (That’s not to say that complaints aren’t valid, it’s just a poor way to structure an identity.)

  I love jay as a creator but he gets things wrong on occasion. Example: he recently made a video suggesting that everyone running nvidia on windows use software to force rebar on globally, which is KNOWN to break games or cause performance issues (which is why it isn’t enabled globally in the first place.) At the end of the day he is still a creator driven by the algorithm and metrics for his livelihood so you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt.

which journalism outlets though? if there are vested interests I don’t trust like that. Obviously microsoft and phison are going to deny responsibility. so did intel when their 13th and 14th gen CPUs were suiciding.
