Exactly what I was thinking.
Looks to be region specific and occurs on specific controllers under heavy writes (50gb+). Symptoms clear after a reboot.
Thanks for the context. The headline makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download. (and remember, it unpacks at the same time, a 50GB download is more like 125GB of total write)
So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.
I sure hope nobody recommends me to use a free and open source operating system that never has issues like this over this proprietary OS that I'm used too and have been paying licensing fees for since I started using computers.
Linux has had its fair share of nasty bugs
The difference is that you are unlikely to be affected unless you are running a very recent untested kernel.
I live dangerously with my fully up to date Arch box.
But I also have an LTS Ubuntu box that's been humming away in the background for about the last five-ish years? Just a quiet little file server, doing its job and being ignored.

Because you got older and realized just because your teachers and parents wasted their money now that you're an adult there a better way?
free and open source operating system that never has issues like this
ever use BTRFS?
fuck linux bloody
Incredible, glad my hardware was arbitrarily incompatible
More 24H2 shittery. I locked all my Windows machines to the 23H2 track after installing it on my desktop completely broke all networking functionality.
Cool so it'll brick my work computer (⌐■_■)
So glad I ditched windows, looks like it was just in time.
