Short answer: no

Long answer: only the most important things should even have such low-level access to the system. A fucking game is not in that category. Nooooooo

SSDs can get firmware updates like anything else.

Get a picture of yourself taking a shower. Print that onto the shower curtain.

KDE really is what windows promised to become back in the XP days and just never did.

Websites are getting hammered by AI bots stealing content and jacking up their bandwidth usage. So they use a piece of software called Anubis which, for some reason, has a cartoon nurse that will grant or deny you access based on if she thinks you are human or AI.
