I have the same issue on Kubuntu 24 LTS. Every time (so every day) there is an update the game fails to launch. Have to verify integrity of games files and then i can play again without issues. Until there is an update (so the next day usually). So far it has been a problem with rockstar and ubisoft titles.

    I sugggest you to check out Torque Test Channel on youtube. They do a lot of testing and they have hard numbers to prove if one tool is better than another. They have tested Bosch ProFactor tools as well.

    Edit: and they refuse any sponsor out of integrity. They buy and test all of the tools.

    This won't mean that DDR5 prices will get any better, but it will lead to slightly better RAM availability in the OEM/ODM markets and server markets.

    When an aging business starts to take on water, the quickest, easiest — and most destructive — solution is to make moves that will generate more money now but may cost the company later. And that’s exactly what Meta has started to do. In the first three months of this year, the company started cramming more ads onto its platforms while charging advertisers more. Those choices may have allowed the company to increase its revenue per user by a significant 27 percent in the first quarter of 2026, but they are also likely to further alienate users (and annoy advertisers).

    Because when you border russia and you let them know that you've sent away your limited amount of armored vehicles or other equipment isn't stratetically wise. Other countries declaring equipment they've sent makes sense but for countries bordering russia it would not be wise to let their enemy know what equipment they've given up.

    "The process starts with old batteries being separated and burned to strip away non-metal components. What's left gets crushed into something called black mass. This is essentially a powder packed with recoverable metals. From there, a water-based chemical treatment called hydrometallurgy pulls the lithium out. One clever distinction in this new process is that the recovered lithium hydroxide actually replaces a chemical traditionally used during refining. This cuts the carbon footprint by about 40% compared to older methods."

    Article also said that previous methods got about 45% of the lithium from recycling.
