I’m pretty happy with all of those

I dont really know but I guess CSAM is more broad and includes pictures of children at the beach etc.

comparing the whole country to a concentration camp massively downplays the conditions in concentration camps. I’m sure being a citizen there isn’t fun but it’s still different.

Is it true that this power gets drained when you press the power button without the power cord plugged in?

I wasn’t aware that data could be corrupted by unplugging components, but what you’re saying is making sense. That could definitely have been it.

He fingered the socket of his PSU’s IEC power connector. I suppose this worked because the plug had a loose connection and the moisture might have helped making that connection more solid

When I moved recently my PC suddenly stopped booting.

Before transport I removed the GPU so the PCB wouldn’t crack, but my motherboard was showing that it got stuck in the GPU check when booting, so I thought I accidentally broke the GPU by shocking it with static, or popping off some capacitor or something. I still wanted to rule out everything else before buying a new GPU though.

I kept replugging things, thinking it might be a connection that came loose during transport, I reseated the RAM, I tried just one RAM stick, I even reseated the CPU.

Turns out, somehow a CMOS reset fixed it. I’m still confused as to why that worked.
