Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of our inactions
I mean, I could see it. Imagine you’ve been smoking meth and obsessively doing your own crackpot UFO research for about 80h then you take a shower.
He was just basking in the rosy glow of his campaign while it goes up in smoke

It’s a six year old system. Optimistically you’ll be able to salvage the PSU, case and storage. Whether you should salvage the PSU and case is up to you, prebuilts aren’t known for picking the best of these.
Personally I’d use the machine for something else (or sell it to someone for $300-400) and build what you want. (Edit: I’ve had good results moving the core system components into a USFF or NAS case and repurposing as a home server. That’s a pretty typical end of lifecycle role for an aging gaming desktop.)
Apple brandy would like a word. One of my favorite liquors, it’s fantastic.
There should be no bailouts without an equivalent equity transfer from the bailee to the government

Some things are but the labelling is stupid and tiny. Many laptop ports are labeled but people aren’t familiar with the icons (and the icons are often confusingly similar)
Just throw some backpack straps on that and off you go
So you plug an A to C cable into them (or hang an A to C dongle off the end of your usual cable) and charge from them.
Why are we tolerating this criminal behavior by corporations?
Because it’s done in the open and it’s accepted as part of the cost of the device. This is an expected consequence of our adtech surveillance economy where devices are now subsidized because they can harvest data about you, your usage and your behavior to sell on an ongoing basis. We’ve been screaming about these sorts of practices since the late 90s and consumers have just blithered right along with every new and creepy intrusion because they get cheap things and don’t think about the real costs or consequences. And so … Here we are.
I’m just waiting for them to add a sideband channel to some LoRa network so they can exfiltrate data even when their devices are “offline”
Even being able to generate enough lift to send a payload into orbit would be an amazing advancement. We can solve propelling craft out of the solar system later, first we need an economical way to get off planet that isn’t just burning fuel to lift fuel.
Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.
That’s exactly the point of power loss protection (aka PLP.) As a side effect of not needing to wait for a flush after a write synchronous write workloads are dramatically faster on enterprise drives with PLP.
Edit: To add a bit of detail - you don’t need to wait for a flush after a synchronous write with PLP because the drive firmware can lie and immediately return from a flush call because there’s enough backup power to complete that flush if the power were cut.
Hell even Costco probably has photo paper
Is the 16gb partition the first partition? If so I’d just dd the 128gb drive at the 32gb drive then fix the partition table and remove the others.
If it’s not the first partition use gparted to copy it to the new drive.
