Discord could leak (intentionally or not) your personal information (credit card and address if you have nitro, email address, 2FA phone number etc.) and you might want to sue them for restitution (for example if people use that information to stalk you IRL).

More to the point, your home contents insurer might take a dim view of you continuing to use a device that has specifically been recalled due to the risk of overheating and melting things if yours actually were to cause a fire, and refuse to cover the damage. Could end up costing considerably more than the 1200 bucks/euros for a new 4080.

Crucial is Micron's B2C brand

Could e-sports players be considered a "business user" for a game console? Otherwise some internet cafés, hotels or airline lounge offer a "gaming corner" to customers?

Rubber gaskets are an effective way of establishing water-proofness through contact pressure, and are also easy to replace (they are capable of holding back several atmospheres worth of water pressure). The necessary mounting pressure is also be easily achievable without single-use glue.

Backblaze can call me when they start putting drives designed for datacentre use in their datacentres.

I don't know if it is EU law, but at least in Germany software cannot be locked to specific hardware and, for example Microsoft, has to let you use your Windows 10 license on another PC. It would be an interesting test case if somebody were to challenge a TPM hardware id ban in court over here.

Do your sunglasses have any special reflective coatings or do they maybe not sit perfectly so they aren't always in a position that works? FaceID works fairly reliably with mine (I do wear glasses normally though, so I have my primary FaceID with glasses and my secondary without so it works when I'm in bed and don't have my glasses on).

It takes about a minute to reactivate FaceID with a new face if your face really changes so much that it no longer recognizes you.

Given how fast the "no crypto" cards got cracked, it wouldn't take very long at all for that to be circumvented.

My motherboard has a TPM 2.0 header. Can I buy any TPM 2.0 daughterboard or do I have to go with one made by my motherboard's manufacturer?

This appears to be that list: https://www.xda-developers.com/cpus-compatible-windows-11/ Basically nothing older than Intel 8000 series or AMD Ryzen 2000 series.

Or they shipped with a TPM socket but no TPM chip, like a lot of motherboards in the consumer channel do.

With the TPM requirement, I guess I'm keeping Windows 10 on this PC. TPM 2.0 modules are anywhere between 50 and 90 euro on Amazon, and I'm not spending that to get Windows 11. Maybe my next motherboard will have it pre-installed.

The warranty starts at time of purchase though, not when the product is released. So if a smartphone remains on sale for 3 years after release to market and has a 2 year warrnty, they can expect to have customers with active warranty support 5 years after the product was released.
