Probably not a good idea to reuse it for anything important, but for shits and giggles I don't know why not? Unless you expect it to be malware infested or somethin'. If you don't, and have the means to use it, might as well see if you can get anything out of it. Seeing if it can work again is as good a reason as many.

Any SMART error is probably treated as fatal by the system, yeah, since it probably wasn't worth the time to figure out what SMART errors are really fatal when a drive is so cheap to replace.

I've run computers with dying drives before and it'll probably work for a while, but don't expect it to last long and don't put anything on it you're not willing to lose.

I like DF's method of attacking. You can walk into enemies to attack them but friendlies just get swapped with you, or you can use a dedicated key for more precise attacks.

q: when you refer to the monarch, or the institution of monarchy as 'the crown' - is that synecdoche or some other figure of speech (and if so, then what)?

It's German from a guy who knows how German sounds, but doesn't speak a single word of it

Synecdoche is a figure of speech referring to when a part of something is used to refer to the whole, such as in the phrase "all hands on deck," where "hands" are people. It's easy to confuse with metonymy, which refers to using one thing to describe something related to it, such as referring to the Queen as simply "the crown," or a sports team as simply the city they are from as in "Boston led by 2 points."

Have a read of the article. Personally I feel it's a close call between synecdoche and metonymy. Is the crown part of the monarchy (synecdoche), or just related to it (metonymy)?

[Naturegirl1999]

I’m thinking just related, given thst the crown is not fused with the body of the person wearing it

Why do high-end (especially top-of-the-line) workstation GPUs come with obscene amounts of VRAM? Like, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti Super comes with 11 GB of VRAM (far more than you'd likely need for gaming, frankly), and the Quadro RTX 8000, its (highest-end) workstation counterpart, comes with 48 GB of VRAM. What are its users doing that would warrant needing that much VRAM?
