I haven't had a problem with my NVMe drive.  My external hard drive is
for backups.  Not sure what Larry's problem is, frankly, it sounds
like he just bought a defective drive, and has replaced it, what else
is there to say?  He's just stupid AF.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
