China has ordered government offices to replace foreign-branded PCs and associated operating systems with alternatives that can be locally maintained. This includes dumping Windows in favor of Linux.
Yeah, if it’s not detected by lspci or BIOS, I’d say it’s most likely dead forever. I’d say that it’s more likely to have been due to a defective drive than sleep. An NVMe drive like that is not easy to brick to that point. It would be either an electrical fault, or corruption of the controller firmware. There really isn’t anything else that would cause that, and I don’t see how sleep would have done it.
Hmm. Interesting. Those drives are very new tech to me (despite not really being that new lol) and idk much about them. Needless to say I’m nervous to try another one
