Dunno if anyone cares, but Cities: Skylines II is free to play for the weekend: https://store.steampowered.com/app/949230/Cities_Skylines_II/ If you do try it, do know that some of the default settings are poorly optimized and it runs much better if you google which settings to lower. Otherwise the game's been improved a lot since its release, but it still has some rough edges for sure.

I forgot to add in the news that tomorrow is festive over here and there'll be no news. A tragedy, I know, but I'm sure you'll manage until Monday.

Oh, Spain too? Nice! We have our Independency Day here in Finland on Dec 6, not that it's a very interesting day in practice. But a day off is always nice!

Nice. We celebrate the date our current democratic contitution became law, after 40 years of dictatorship. So, while we both celebrate different things, we both celebrate freedom.

And thanks for sharing the free weekend for Cities Skylines 2.

One question to you guys:

My secondary SSD in my laptop is dying. Well, maybe not dying, but slowing down to the point of blocking the entire PC, even things that are only on the system drive get affected by the slowdown. And with slowing down, I mean, without any exaggeration, Floppy Disc speeds, where it gets pings of over a couple seconds for chunks of data that are less than 100kB in size.

I bought a new one to replace it (2TB WD Black SN770, which I got for 114€ on Cyber Monday), but my question is: Should I simply take out the old one and replace it with the new one or should I try and delete everything from the old drive first (or even reformat it) before exchanging the drives? So far in 30 years, this is the first time a secondary storage drive died on me, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed on this one.

If you're worried about someone else accessing the data in it, you can always break it once replaced. SSDs are easier to break than the old HDDs.
