   So I just found a file on my SSD that I can't read fully anymore. Worried. Got the stats. I don't really know much about SSDs. Does this mean this one might begin failing on me?

     If you'd like to help out a fellow nerd, and want to contribute to my new SSD fund: https://ko-fi.com/dosnostalgic

     I've been in a paycheck-to-playcheck situation for the past couple of years, so even something as trivial as getting new storage can be a bit difficult for me.

     Btw, did you know that if you have a file that can't be read, and you ask Windows 10 to compress it, it'll successfully create a zip archive with only the readable part of the file, and NOT PUT UP A SINGLE ERROR MESSAGE?! Now you know.
