Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Based on the parts list you linked the other day, you have an NVME SSD, which needs to be plugged directly into your motherboard, in either of these two circled locations:
You only need the SATA cables if you want to add SATA drives, which you may want to do at some point in the future but not right now, because spinning hard drives are still cheaper per gigabyte than SSDs so they're good places to put things like your legitimately acquired games and movies and shows and all that, and those are all SATA.
But that NVME SSD, being brand new, has nothing on it. You have to put an operating system on there yourself, which is where the "no bootable device found" message comes in. You can either download a Windows installer and then figure out how to activate/steal it later or you can use a Linux distribution like PopOS with the first download button here and the instructions here. You will need a USB stick either way.
I did put in an ssd stick the other day but I don't have a USB for the operating system right now
Im gonna get one tomorrow and ill report back!
Thank you again, as always, comrade
I sort of assume everyone has a handful of usb sticks lying around but I guess that's only true for big ol nerds nowadays
I distinctively remember telling my highschool boyfriend that I needed a USB for my school supply list and him telling me I won't ever use it and I just believed him
And now...
I had a 256MB USB stick in high school, it was so much nicer than burning a CD every time.
We're you using it for music? How could you play it?
