On this day in 1969, the Cordobazo Uprising began in the city of Córdoba, Argentina as a general strike, with workers seizing the city, burning the corporate headquarters of Citroën and Xerox, and clashing with the army.

The rebellion took place under the military dictatorship of General Juan Carlos Onganía, who had seized power in a coup in 1966. Onganía's government had suspended the right to strike, froze workers' wages, suppressed communist movements, and extended the age of retirement.

In the wake of widespread violent state repression against protesters, the labor union "CGT de los Argentinos", led by Agustín Tosco, called for national strike on May 30th, 1969. In Cordoba, the general strike and protests began one day earlier.

On the first day of the protests, police opened fire on thousands of protesters, killing a worker named Maximo Mena, causing the strike to escalate into a citywide revolt, leading to widespread destruction of property and seizing of city spaces. Onganía crushed the rebellion with the military, and Agustín Tosco was arrested for his role in the rebellion.

I'm gonna help someone out by upgrading their existing NVMe drive to a higher capacity one, but their mobo only has one M.2 2280 slot (currently occupied by the drive I will be replacing) and one empty M.2 2230 slot. Assuming there's enough clearance in the case, is there anything wrong with temporarily dangling the new 2280 drive from that 2230 slot just to facilitate cloning the old drive? I know there are USB adapters, but I don't have one and it'd be nice to save them from spending the extra cash on something they may never use again.

Come to think of it, I could also install a PCIe x4 M.2 adapter so they can keep using the old drive as a scratch drive or something, although I've never used one before.

Afaik, the only difference between 2280 and 2230 slots is the presence of the convenient screw post to hold the drive down. Be aware though, that there are M.2 slots which are not actually NVMe capable but actually just weirdly shaped SATA. Pretty sure those are keyed differently, but it might be worth checking the mobo manual.
