I had to start mine up a couple of times after resetting it to grab screenshots of stuff. If you go with /r/hardwareswap, better off waiting until you have your post approved by the mods.

Selling it, or giving it to my sister if it doesn’t sell for what I’m asking.

I thought I wasn’t gonna do it, but they got me.

Probably your DMs at this point; if not today, surely a bunch on Thursday once people know they’ve secured an OLED.

This applies only to 256/512 GB models; I don’t know that the 64 GB model supports this command:

NVMe drives contain an internal encryption key. By deleting this key, all data (including over provisioned blocks) is practically unrecoverable. (You’d need a sufficiently motivated attacker with knowledge of a flaw in the encryption algorithm.)

To use this command, you’ll need to boot from another Linux device, such as a thumb drive with Debian on it. Once you’ve installed nvme-cli you can use the following instructions:

As always, I’m not responsible if you brick your device. And of course, you’ll need to reimage as soon as this finishes, as the drive will no longer contain a partition table.

As one of the people who thought 3.5 would come out this week, I nearly laughed out loud reading this. This update just refuses to come out.

By February, we’ll be saying “if Gabe sees his shadow, six more weeks of Preview.”

I have disagreed with most attempts to read the tea leaves of 3.5.x development based on past releases, but this is the first "3.5 soon’ argument that’s convincing.

Counterpoint: I’m surprised they didn’t announce it yesterday, because it would have been a salve for annoyed SD-LCD owners, to know they’re at least getting something. (I don’t consider myself an annoyed owner, but I can’t pretend I didn’t see a lot of them in the comments yesterday.)

The new Mesa feature would enable Valve to shrink the shader cache packages. Enabled doesn’t mean done, it just means they can start. So I agree with you that our caches aren’t gonna magically shrink the day 3.5.x comes out, but that doesn’t mean they won’t in the near future.

My guess is that once 3.5 is out of its initial release window, Valve will start rebuilding the packages to take advantage of the pipeline feature, starting with the most-played games first. We’ll get a blog post (or a bullet point within one) telling us that we’ll see our caches shrink over time, but I doubt there’ll be a big-bang deployment of smaller packages.

Not a leak, no:
