What am I doing wrong
Am I retarded or is this a hardware issue? Is the HDD just faulty? Owner said before he wiped it, it booted fine. Computer has no issues otherwise. I've tried multiple different ISO downloads btw.

>>105730054
too much work+the default shell usually looks fine

How do programmers not get hacked all the time? Programming requires always downloading and running scripts, dependencies from 3rd parties, or copy/pasting unvetted "pieces of codes" etc.

I've been trying to install Arch on a really old Mac with Intel graphics. The problem is that after I select the boot mode, all I get is a black screen.
I already tried adding the nomodeset parameter and another Intel-related parameter I can't remember, but it didn't help.
Not sure if this is useful, but older ISOs and the Void Linux ISO worked.

How do I change my IP on my Spectrum Internet connection? I've turned off my modem overnight but when I turn it back on again I just get the same IP.

Here's my stupid question:
Why can't people use their TV as a monitor (and vice versa)?
Its bigger, costs less, and is dual purpose!
>inb4 muh goriliion hertz
There are high refresh rate TVs too. Plus not everyone is a gaymer. Plus most monitors max out at 75 hz anyways

>>105730510
You can't. Your ISP dedicated a static IP to you. If it was dynamic turning off the modem for like 5 minutes would be enough. Talk to customer service to learn if they offer dynamic IPs

>>105730510
>>105730676
some users with dynamic ip addresses will have to wait 5-10 minutes with modem/router off and hope for the best when you switch it back on again. some ISPs will give you a new address as soon as your device reconnects to the network. this varies between isp and type of connection.

>>105730676
>>105730713
Can I just call spectrum tech support and say "hey I'd like a different IP"?

>>105730738
are you sure it's a dynamic ip address?

>>105730750
I never paid anything extra for a static IP. It's just basic residential cable internet.

>>105730640
TV's are meant to be looked at from a distance
monitors are meant to be sat in front of

>>105730784
same and I can't always get a new IP by resetting my modem
do you live in a rural area?

>>105730429
Old Intel Macs tend to run Ubuntu well, try booting from Ubuntu and see if it works, then trace backwards why it doesn't work on Arch.

>>105730784
probably best to call your isp and ask them how to obtain a new address and find out what the deal is.

>>105730831

Bought a new ssd to install loonix and I heard I should unplug the old SSD with windows on it then plug it back in after the installation. Installed Linux mint then did all the updates and drivers, plugged in the old SSD and suddenly it doesn't boot up. No keyboard light or anything ;-; pls help

>>105730973
>I heard I should unplug the old SSD with windows on it then plug it back in after the installation
I never heard of anyone saying you should do this
>plugged in the old SSD and suddenly it doesn't boot up. No keyboard light or anything
Try unplugging this SSD again, or unplugging the other SSD to see if it boots from the Windows SSD. If neither boots after that, it could be a hardware issue.

Supposedly Windows tends to delete the BIOS GRUB bootloader partition used for Linux distros but my Mint install doesn't use BIOS/MBR GRUB and yours probably doesn't either if you're using a new SSD, but having two different EFI boot partitions could be tripping things up too.
Can you access BIOS/EFI on your computer? (usually by holding either F2, F8, or F12 after pressing the power button) Try that and see if there's an option to choose your boot drive.

Generally you should be able to install Linux on a different drive/partition without having to remove the Windows. If you can still boot from the Windows SSD on its own, I would suggest doing that, plugging the Linux SSD back in, reformatting it, then leaving it in with the Windows while you boot from your Linux installation medium, the making sure you install Mint on the right drive. Hopefully then your computer shouldn't have any potential issues with EFI boot stuff.

>>105730784
>>105730837
I think a lot of providers give you basically "semi-static" IPs, where you keep the same address for awhile despite any resets.
I have no idea why, but I've experienced the same thing. I'll have the same IP address for potentially months and then suddenly it'll switch to another. It's never consistent when it changes either.

>>105731213
>If neither boots after that, it could be a hardware issue.
Neither seem to boot but I'll try doing that again.
>Can you access BIOS/EFI on your computer?
Nope, I cant even get a display out. The fans spin, my mouse gets power but my keyboard does not light up.
Thank you so much for the reply, the manual says if shorting the CMOS pins doesnt worki should take the battery out and short it again so I'll try that too with both the SSDs. Also do you know if my keyboard should light up if I disconnect the GPU and try start it up? (I don't have integrated graphics either)

Do data recovery centers have a policy on seeing what data they actually recovered, or just that they recovered data and don't look too much into it? I'm assuming they might, at the very least, have to run a scan for CSAM using hashes via the government.

>>105731485
>>105731213
It boots into mint after I took out one of the RAM sticks and unplugged the SSD I'm pretty sure it's the ram stick causing all this. I'll figure that out tomorow, thank you sm for the help anyways.

Where do i learn arduino the fastest?

>>105731485
>Also do you know if my keyboard should light up if I disconnect the GPU and try start it up?
If you're talking about like numpad/capslock lights, those are usually handled by the OS so it makes sense they shouldn't be lighting up if something is wrong with your boot.
Keyboard backlights on the other hand I think are usually part of the keyboard itself, so no keyboard backlights could mean a problem with hardware or power.

>>105731622
Ah, well in that case just see if you can also boot from the Windows SSD and just check the RAM socket or look into getting new RAM sticks. Glad I could be of some help.

I want a solution to store no more than around 2 tb max of personal data for at most a week while I convert an old gaming pc to a home server at preferably no cost, my best idea so far is to register free accounts for a bunch of cloud providers and split the data across them but I'd love to hear any ideas others have or have tried since it's a slight pain to do.

Thank you anon

Do you think that there's a chance that cloning didn't went well because the SSD's occupied space is 10gb less than HHD's? Also seemingly simple programs like opening activity monitor or book reader takes up lots of CPU percentage.

>>105733193
it may be, windows is using 11gb out of the 16gb

It seems that USB cables and ports are unreliable and have the issue of losing connection when moved around. I have devices that, when connected to my computer, are recognized with only a select few USB cables out of my collection of dozens. Even if you pay more for a "premium" USB cable, it's hit or miss whether they will function properly.

Why is this? Why is USB so fucking shit and prone to having problems?

Anyone uses Edge Canary? Latest seems to break Cloudflare captcha (again), any new flags or browser settings that got changed which led to this? I don't want to open another browser to post on 4ch and some other websites to pass CF captcha.

Used to be my main browser too ages ago before Chrome consumed everything, nowadays I don't see a reason why I'd use FF over Chromium. It was always more bloated in my machines, worse memory management. Maybe it's better if you have a 100 tabs open but my sessions are like 5-10 tabs max.
Not to mention some websites just tell you to fuck off when they see Firefox (but-but user agent change, yeah dont' care) and Google constantly making changes to its websites without testing them in FF so that something always breaks in Firefox.

I have some hard drives I bought at the same time with the same DOM, but I want to chronologically label and sort them.

>>105735192
I never stopped using FF not even when chrome rose in popularity, never had problems with it and that's probably because I'm a SSD user since 2012, FF was disk hungry while Chrome was Ram hungry.

If it's a C drive it wouldn't, you would have to change the letter in disk management to access the files, or like I said, boot to the linux mint installer and mount the disk. Linux doesn't have to follow ntfs/windows rules.

Container tabs in Firefox, is there any way to automatically open a tab in a specific container based on its URL? This seems like it could be the perfect solution to containerize google and other data miners if there is a way.

>>105737490
I'm probably not understanding exactly what you mean, however, if you have a url inside a container tab, and you don't feel like looking for it, you could probably just type part of the url and click, because it's likely cached in the browser search history already.

>>105737546
This is an example of what I want to do:
>Click a link to any google website
>it automatically opens the link inthe "Google" container
This way I could sign into gmail and consequently be tracked by google in that container but not in any others.
Currently, I have to manually open the "Google" container that I've made and then make sure not to open anything but google links within it. This leaves too much room for user error, so it would be better if it automatically sorted links into specific containers based on their domains.

You can do that with the official Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension. There's another extension called containerize that does a similar thing

Picrel is my current display setup. Display 3 is a TV and then Displays 1/2 are the monitors at my desktop PC (running Win11). I'm looking for a way to set up a hotkey, command, shortcut that will disable my TV+speakers when I'm not using it and just run my PC off Display 1/2 and my desktop speakers. Then when I want to switch, deactivate my desk monitors and speakers and default to the TV.

Fold a few soft paper towel over into a 3-4" square, and put a capful of isopropyl alcohol in the middle, and let it soak in for 30s (you don't want it too wet, just barely). Rub down your screen and follow with a buffing from a dry soft towel.

>>105737855
Thanks anon. I wasn't expecting there to be a solution but this is exactly what I needed. I'll never be tracked again.

these are all mainstream mice, though, which is i guess good and bad. like you could find something on here, find it on sale, and then just go to bestbuy and pick it up. people are getting more into chinese mice / budget mice like aj159 and some others that i'm forgetting (vxe, attack shark) that you could get for like 20 bucks. maybe buy off of ali express? there's pros and cons there, of course, too, but this stuff is kind of all the same plastic from the same duff pipe

it still works, but barely. the only thing is you have to embed as a url from an external source (most people use catbox but it barely works half the time). embedding images directly doesn't work because 4chan strips it.

if you aren't seeing images that are embedded "properly" i don't know what to tell you. if you're using gay, then it's something with the script that they either don't acknowledge or refuse to fix unless you pay them crypto to keep the ban evasion stuff up and running.

there was also some kind of feud a while back where someone else forked it and the original script dev got pissed about it and it's been a whole thing.

point being, don't even bother. Literally the only thing you can catch these days are just holdovers from people saving shit directly from boorus (so the script picks up the hash in the file name and duplicates it directly) or people using it for sound posting. no one is posting "questionable" material because it's super obvious to spot, and most mods/jannies caught on to it a long time ago, and even if they are trying to do it, it just doesn't work half the time.

It isn't really static as it could change if and when they do infrastructural changes. IP being the same for decades doesn't make it static in that context.

At the point where you have a local infestation on your machine, it's all over anyway. It will simply log what you type and get your master password that way.
Of course it would be bad, if your password database without a strong password leaked to an attacker, but as far as I can tell, the master password is primarily to prevent other humans from using your saved passwords.

I made a userscript for it since it requires you to dispatch an event for the select element:

document.addEventListener("OpenSettings", (e) => {

general_option.selected = true;

const filter_dropdown = document.querySelector('select[name="filter"]');
filter_dropdown.dispatchEvent(new Event("change"));

You could of course add a "selected" attribute to the filter markup in the 4chanX source code, but then you would need to disable autoupdates to prevent it from being overwritten

I use Brave (android)

Is there an android OS for regular PC hardware that has the app store and everything while being up-to-date? Searched and couldn't find anything. Just curious for turning a minipc or something into an android tv box.

I switched to fiber internet in my home. Now I need to bridge an air gap, where I cannot lay an ethernet cable. So I need a wifi-to-ethernet device, which I want to connect to my fiber router via wifi and then connect to my LAN via ethernet.
What device should I use? I would be good to have at least 3 eth ports so I don't have to use an additional LAN switch.

My own question:
Does anyone know of an HDMI 2.1 splitter/switcher setup with ~5 inputs and at least 2 outputs? KVM switches look interesting, but seem to not be tested for the non-PC devices usecases. they sell 5-to-1 and 1-to-2 adapters, but i've already had problems with the 1.4 5-to-1 splitter i have so that'd be probably worse.

>>105746339
android doesn't really have a setup for PC hardware in any real way. most android TV devices are just cheap phone SoCs. neither does android really stay up to date on its own, OS-wise at least. emulation would be probably doable, but not exactly optimal or easy.
the most flexible TV-like setup would likely just be a windows box with a browser and a little wireless kbm/trackpad combo. there's XMBC and stuff like that, if you want to use a controller, with its own set of drawbacks.
>>105743730
that's a GPU issue, likely. either driver or hardware or software. sounds very strange, so i'd probably start by booting a linux ISO and seeing if it still happens there.
>>105737456
firefox and probably chrome has a webpage download function. an autoclicker program would be the most flexible solution, but might need some manual parts here and there. and there's always at least trying wget on linux.
>>105735284
could be hexadecimal.
>>105734847
this is an extremely bad idea for a variety of reasons
grab whatever numbers you can get, even just shift-click ctrl-c the webpage or the CSV you can download, download a local model, and paste it in there with some questions.
>>105733339
everybody loves dicks. why would you get rid of everyone's favorite thing?
>>105731635
buy a recommended book and read it cover-to-cover.
>>105730640
you can do whatever you want, but the DPI is much less and the space involved for a KBM setup is annoying with such a large screen. wireless peripherals do work, but they still tend to fuck up past a few feet, especially if they don't have line of sight to the dongle.
also, OLED burn-in if you're buying that.

>>105746831
Basically you just need a couple of 4+ stream wifi APs with uncucked firmware.

my graphics card died suddenly and so i thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to try the baking in oven trick because i have nothing to lose. two questions though:
1. i can't remove some plastic parts like output ports because the soldering work is beyond my capabilities to resolder. is it okay to just leave them?
2. i heard about soldering fumes but realistically how bad is it for the oven? getting a separate oven just for this is pointless
3. what the fuck actually happens to the card during baking? i'm not convinced that it's just the reflow of the solder that does the trick
pic unrelated

>>105747330
You should be more worried about lead flakes getting into your oven. Just buy a cheap heat gun from a hardware store and do it with that.

>>105747015
>>105746831
Now went for the GL.iNet AXT1800 Slate AX.
It seems to support WiFi to ethernet bridge mode and it runs on OpenWRT. It has 3 eth ports.

one more question: how likely it is that it's just some fuse? i'm not sure how to recognise them

I want an e reader, preferably e paper. Should be able to read my collection of pdfs on my laptop I've saved over a decade. Stylus is a plus but not mandatory. Thoughts? Kindle can't read pdfs right?

>>105747448
anything with fixed page size will look like shit on a small kindle. epub and all that are text files with some formatting. big ones are expensive. aren't an optimal usecase, but it's doable. there are conversion tools that are as accurate as you'd expect.

What does it mean when a website is acting a little weird all of a sudden, like search suggestions not popping up or given random errors sometimes?

Probably routing issue on your ISP's end. If you have one address you specifically have problems reaching do a traceroute to it and send the results to their network support.

Thanks, I did not bother contacting support but my traceroute showed one or two asteriks (*) in one hop, which from what I've read could indicate network congestion or packet loss resulting in a overloaded router.
I suppose I will wait and see if the issue will persist overnight.

The questionable content being a loli looking 3D model from Secret Flasher Manaka. While it has no nudity due to the outfit the model's wearing, its undeniably nsfw so it can't go on youtube. Preferably sites that don't actively want all my info to validate email addresses. The last thing I can think of is making a peertube instance but I want to leave that as a last resort.

Do wifi boosters help at all?
I cant deploy a cable from my parent's router to the tv my dad has in the kitchen.

Now the thing is that by wifi the iptv is working "ok", there are stutters now and then, doesnt take long to go back to the menu and reopen the channel and it fixes itself but when it happens often it gets boring.
Im just wondering if a 20€ wifi booster from amazon placed sort of midway from the router to the TV would help at all.
I was doodling a plane of the house on paint but i dont think that makes a difference, the router is a couple "walls" away from the tv

I'm in the market for a new television for my living room, current one is 10+ years old and only goes up to 1080p, and I want 4k minimum. I've narrowed down the choices to either an OLED (LG C4/C5, depending on what's on sale) or a Mico-LED (Samsung QN90D). I want to go OLED but I'm concerned about the reflectiveness because the living room is generally bright with southward-facing windows (not directly behind the screen, but 90 degrees to one side). Even if I were to shutter all of the blinds it's still decently bright.
Is there a best way to go about testing whether OLED will be an issue for this room? I'm thinking of just getting the television from a place that allows for returns within a decently-long period of time, like 1 month.

How much can I expect to get for ewaste that doesn't turn on anymore? And is the best course of action selling them online or turning them to a local repair shop?

>>105755276
Peak brightness is very important, not just because of the sun but also for HDR content. I haven't checked out all the tv options in a while but I remember samsung steadily falling behind the competition each year, especially with chinese brands like tcl and hisense offering genuinely good non-oled TVs.
So I'd suggest always looking up reviews that go into this in case you're not doing that already. There was this asian guy on yt doing high quality tv reviews and callibration guides, forgot his name though.
I don't own oled so I'm not sure how much sun reflection matters, but in general you can always stick anti-uav layers on your windows which will reduce sunlight as well as room temperature. I got one in my room and it works really well, it adds a certain blue-ish tint so your outside view is not completely removed as opposed to complete blackout curtains.

>>105755963
If it's like a desktop computer, not enough to pay for shipping. You can see if the local repair shop has any interest if you have that option. Otherwise it just goes to electronic recycling.

>>105760428
4k at 100% scaling is only good for about 40"

The whole point of higher res is you keep the elements too small to see easily so aliasing and scaling artefacts aren't as much a problem. Like everyone has phones with insane screen res and they switch back and forth from 1080 and nobody notices because pee so high.

apart from physical cleanup, tips for pc lasting longer

what do

>>105762023
Cleaning the heatsink and repasting to avoid overheating its the only tip, heat is what kills 95% of parts.
Adding better cooling.
Also using a good PSU and maybe a Sinewave UPS to avoid energy problems.

>>105762033
good tip, but
isn't that physical tho
i mean like keeping drivers up to date
and so on

>>105762050
there have been cases of bad driver releases frying hardware so no

>>105762050
If you're going to be poor and buy poorfag hardware just don't turn it on unless it's in use. Updating drivers doesn't make the PC last longer. The opposite if anything.

>>105762050
If you want it to last longer you need to give it maintenance.
Its like a car, you need to change the oil after a few kilometers or the engine explodes.
Same logic with computers, you either fix the overheating problems or something electrical will explode (VRMs, Memory chips degrading, things actually melting, fan grease and bearings going bad, etc).

Thanks, it's actually a desktop. It didn't occur to me to take it apart but now that I think of it I haven't cleaned it in probably close to a year...

>>105762159
Thinkcentre? Ideacentre? Thinkstation?
Which adapter?

>>105762163
Looks like it has a Realtek8821AE
I actually shut it down right before I saw your reply. I opened it up and blew away quite a bit of dust, and now all of the familiar networks are back upon booting the machine back up. Coincidence?

>>105762204
>Coincidence
Nope, dust causes such problems.
Sounds like its time for a proper cleaning and repasting for that computer.

If wireless is important for you then you might want to upgrade to a Intel AX201 card, 8821AE are usually mPCIe so the mPCIe version.
Or atleast a AC7206.

>>105762215
Or the M.2 version, hard to tell without knowing which model you have without info.

>>105762215
So much appreciated anon. Screencapped for future reference. For a moment I thought Windows was just trying to force me into switching to Linux a little early, turns out it was my own neglect. Thanks again!

Ended up just changing the model within the game and making the run again so she wasn't a loli. As for the email validation, I just used a burner gmail that I have. I would've liked not to use it, but hardly any mainstream site accepts cockli as an email provider. Fucking glowniggers.

If you are willing to go the distance, keeping things at the same temperature/rpm (not load) (fans are somewhat expendable if you have more than one)is the best way of preserving things, that being said you also don't want to run it at or near it's rated temp for this
The larger the heat cycle the shorter the part lives (generally each cycle doesn't do much though)
And if you want uptime incase of failure, more CPU fans, with excess capacity (~125/150% rated TDP OR underclock), as well as lower bit densities (16G if you don't need 32G) might help (does not do anything if the 32G is just 2 16s (or QLC/TLC SSDs) strapped together as is probably the case with SSDs)


Most of this is for really going the distance though, and assumes no defects

Recently, a dark spot has been appearing similar to the one in the picture on my laptop. Sometimes it dissapears, most often when I restart it. It's not particularly bad for now but is it something that can spread to the other parts of the LCD? I don't mind replacing it but It's a bit old. I will have 5 years with it in about a month. Not to mention some of the other problems I have with it like the speakers sounding cracked or fans ocassionally rattling and sounding like a diesel engine

>>105764508
looks like a backlight issue. you have to replace it
>speakers sounding cracked
check if they're dirty and change your audio drivers
>fans ocassionally rattling and sounding like a diesel engine
clean them up. if that doesn't help then the fan bearings are worn out and then fans need to be replaced also

>>105764570
>looks like a backlight issue. you have to replace it
Figured as much sigh
>check if they're dirty and change your audio drivers
Already tried that months ago. They are broken. Need replacement

>clean them up. if that doesn't help then the fan bearings are worn out and then fans need to be replaced also
I repasted and applied thermal pads some months ago and cleaned the whole thing. There's no problem with temps and they work normally but sometimes when you move the laptop around it starts to sound like that. Must be the bearings then

>>105766134
you are a bad goy

>>105766134
In what way?

I'm using a tethering app called PDAnet+ to give myself internet from my phone while on vacation, because the Verizon jews didn't tell me they charge extra for tethering and mobile and even then only give you so much tether data. The problem is I have to have their package on my computer which is only for Windows/Mac. That and they want me to pay to not turn off every hour. I've seen people use hacks to make it work on Linux for single port things such as the browser.

Does anyone know a way to tether an android to a Linux OS without Verizon jews knowing or needing a shady app?

>>105766250
Seems flooded, idk
No fun allowed.jpeg stuff

>>105766654
Wait what the fuck, if you enable tethering in just normal android Verizon will know? How does that even work

There's https://github.com/garywill/linux-router, I have no idea if it will work on android, but assuming you have root you could try it (if not then first step would be to root it)

>>105761908

>memory training

Is this some sort of psyop

>>105766855
No, AM5 and recent Intel motherboards have horrible DDR5 memory trace layouts, for a reason there is a huge push to replace DDR currently.
Its only once and after that you are good unless you reset BIOS.

>>105766816
I'll look into that. Default Mobile hotspot and tethering is disabled on my samsung and it tells me to spend more money on my Verizon bill. I looked into it and they can tell if the packets don't come from the phone so a lot of these unofficial tethering app changes the packets. It runs through debugging mode and a USB.

They apparently get notified by outside packets and rooting by an app called My Verizon that's built into these phones after researching a little.

PDAnet+ works but I need my Linux. All I can do on Windows is play video games :(

>>105766918
Would a VPN help somehow maybe?
If you root, you can uninstall My Verizon. Do you think that'll get you blocked? Consider installing a VPN-based adblocker (I think Blokada is the main meme? but don't take my word for it) and seeing if you can block that app from network access to see what happens, but I'm not sure if you can do that with VPN-based blockers.

i have a dead external drive windows doesn't recognize. i tried some recovery tools but nada. what should i do with this drive

>>105766994
unfortunately rooting isn't an option. I'm on a warranty and insurance payment plan and it'll void it :(

I'll see if I can do a VPN. GPT thinks I can just packet hack the phone anyways

>>105767042
do you care a lot about it or the data on it?
if not throw it away and buy new ones on amazon, 32GB or less can be had in multipacks for like $5/drive

What do I do about this / how do I fix it? Chrome's decided to just yeet my adblock because they don't appreciate me blocking their gorrilion ads on YouTube.

>>105767042
Post more info, is it a external HDD, is it a USB?
Which model?

>>105767080
Settings>Manage extensions>Enable and click the 3 dots and use "I want to keep using it" option.
Later on you will need to either use regedit or install it as dev.
Start getting ready to migrate to firefox.

>>105767061
Honestly anon I'm sorry to say but it does sound like you have a cuck phone on a cuck plan. If you're not allowed to root it, that means it's not your device, it's Verizon's and/or Samsung's and/or Google's, since they are the ones allowed to administrate your system while you are not.

Good luck on your PDA+ thingy. Stupid question maybe but have you tried it in wine?

>>105766918
Hmmm, perhaps you could use adb to disable(not uninstall) the service? Back up your phone beforehand just in case of course

>>105767099
>Start getting ready to migrate to firefox.
Even if I didn't despise the people running Firefox currently, migrating all my tabs and shit out of Chrome would take me a week if I'm lucky. Goddamnit.

>>105767080
Switch to Brave unironically. Still works here

>>105767160
That should work for a few versions more till they force the removal of all v2 extensions, after that you will have to enable enterprise support using regedit and install it manually as dev, and in a year more i think all v2 support will be gone.
There is a guide in the ublock origin github iirc.

That is not a rosewood model, usually, it should be easy, see https://newscrewdriver.com/2021/05/26/seagate-backup-plus-slim-portable-drive-1tb-srd00f1-teardown/ for a example with pics about how dissasemble it.
You have a desktop computer around? or atleast a USB to SATA adapter which i guess not.
Connecting it directly will tell you if its the drive that is bad or the small PCB.
If its the SATA to USB PCB then you can get a new enclosure for $5-10 or just get your data out.

>>105767145
>anon has a plan that doesn't even allow him to root his phone because he can't pay for a better one
>"bro just buy a second plan lol"

Though, I wonder if "no tethering" plans will work if you install the SIM into a laptop directly. The obvious downside is your phone won't have internet then, but I'm still curious whether it'd work at all. Tethering anon, I hope you're a thinkpad autist (or otherwise have a sim slot and wwan card on your laptop) so you can test it for us

>>105767260
ok i will try those thanks

>>105767293
You say it doesnt appear on Windows right now.
How did you check? Usually the only 2 ways to check is Crystaldiskinfo and partition manager.

Nonstop clicking is bad.
Random clicking is normal on Seagate drives because they are low quality in general.
When it comes to Enclosures a Ugreen one would be the best option, everything else will also work.

>>105767244
Oh you're right I forgot I could just try Wine on PDAnet's desktop app.

>>105767264
Every year it gets harder to tether from your phone to a desktop thanks to "abuse" and carriers not wanting you to get more expensive plans, also newer android/IOS versions and phones report that you run hotspots to carriers and even disable the option.
Its extremely rare for a carrier to block WWANs because for them it will look like you put the SIM on a old tablet.

>>105767384
>carriers not wanting you to get more expensive plans
Not wanting you to use all your data or to force you get more expensive plans*

>>105767329
yes hddsentinel, crystaldisk, disk management, default explorer. it's random clicking. ill have to checkout videos too as i dont have much experience on this thanks

I remember in the Dangerous Kitten kit on /b/ back in 2009 or so there were kits dedicated to showing people how to jailbreak their iPhones for free service and to use it as a free router, even if it was an old phone they got from a pawnshop.

>>105767471
Just post pics of where you are stuck at, all you have to do is take the drive out (DO NOT DISSASEMBLE THE DRIVE) and connect it to a desktop PC directly.

>>105767384
I believe it, but I've never really seen it around here. Must be an amerifat thing mainly I suppose, just like datacaps on broadband and other such things.
Plus this again only seems possible on stock carrier installations of Android. I've literally never seen a carrier plan around here that wouldn't allow you to root your phone or do literally whatever with it, and I'm pretty sure if you've got root it should be trivial to circumvent tethering restrictions.

>Its extremely rare for a carrier to block WWANs because for them it will look like you put the SIM on a old tablet
I mean, that anon says he's got a preinstalled carrier app at the system level and that's apparently working as a watchdog against him doing bad goy things like tethering.
If you install it into a laptop there'll be no such app.
If a sim works in a laptop then it stands to reason that it should also work in a rooted phone.

>>105767476
Then they spent the intervening 15 years figuring out more ways to lock down the hardware. To the point that every used iPhone now has at least 3 spurious mismatched component warnings.

Why do you use Everything if you have WizTree?

>>105767665
Because they are 2 different programs.
Also WizTree doesnt search video titles, AND its slower at searching.

>>105767713
video titles?

>>105767733
Titles, mediainfo, metadata.
Dimensions, date, sort by creation date, FUCKING THUMBNAILS and A video player to check it.

I want a 2.5g network switch.
Is there any reason to not buy Ubiquiti's Flex Mini 2.5?

Can I configure it via local software (with no other ubiquiti hardware, and no "cloud" shit relying on external servers for configuring it) or is that not actually possible?
Can this software if it exists run on Ubuntu, and, after configured, be closed and never ran again unless something goes wrong making me launch it and troubleshoot or does it have to run and phone phome to a program every X days to "remember" its config?

I want something cheap for 2.5 since I got some systems and a basic file server with onboard 2.5G and the next PC upgrade will have a 2.5G or a 5G NIC and I just want to get the fuck off gigabit, in the next few years I will be looking at 10G or 100G but for now I would like to spend under $100 if possible since this is going to be temporary and I just want to jump from ~100MB/s to ~250MB/s (hdd speed) transfers to do the obvious and cut out one painful bottleneck.

last year around this period, my PC was very finicky in starting up for a few days - the CPU fan spins, the GPU lights up, and POST etc for a second but then the PSU clicks and it all goes off
after a few power drains and unplugging/replugging the power cable it would then work and perform normally, and then it was fine for the next ~12 months at least, until today
today it was finicky like described above but even power draining and letting it sit for an hour didn't work, until i just started flicking the power switch at the back off and on while pressing the start button until it stayed on
everything is detected in bios fine and works fine so i dont think a component has died (if one had i dont see how it would have worked normally since last year and as I type this), i've run memtest before and nothing was out of the ordinary for RAM, everything's a normal temperature, swapped where I plugged it in on the wall, the fans are all spinning, no weird burn smell inside, all the cables are plugged in properly etc etc
i never have crashes or anything either while running under stress like gaming
the only thing I can think of is how last year it started happening the morning after I updated my PC right before shut down without letting it rest after drawing a lot of power, and last night i also initiated shut down before closing all windows etc and unplugging something in the USB port I usually don't have in while shutting down
then i guess given the time of year the electric grid in general is under strain because of the heat (utility companies have been asking people to use less power doing peak times for a while here now), so maybe that all overlaps with a poopy PSU that needs things to be just right to stay on?
i'm assuming i should just replace the PSU (Aorus AP850GM) with a more reliable one, unless someone can diagnose this as stemming from another component?

How do I properly architect internals of a library that implements the parsing and the logic for a network protocol (that runs on top of TCP+TLS)? I don't want to end up with some kind of spaghetti code where I have I/O, parsing and logic all mashed together in functions. Any architectural patterns that could help?

>>105768358
Make a type system level representation of the different components and actions in your protocol
When a request comes in, parse() it into your types
Each type implements business logic accordingly

I have no table space for my PC, but I also realize that by putting on the floor will gather dust, inside so are those "PC stand" aka those with rolls worth it? Or can I diy something from Ikea stuff?

>>105762319
It's making my Win 10 very slow. Chkdsk didn't find any parts in need of a fix. Maybe it's just old; I bought it in December 2021.

>>105768665
>It's making my Win 10 very slow.
Open Crystaldiskinfo, its probably dying and its giving windows I/O timeout errors.
If the data is important make a Linux mint USB (No you dont need to install Linux, you can run Linux from the USB and Mint is a windows clone that is easy to use), and copy the data out because Linux wont freeze with read/write errors like windows does.

>>105768680
>its probably dying
The maybe I should just buy a new one. Do you know any brands better than Western Digital?

>>105768622
Buy some wood (or even disassemble something) and put the pc on the wood :P

>>105768717
So just a piece wood plank is "enough"? I.e it's above the actual floor?

>>105768790
NTA but I've used chopping boards for my laptop.

>>105768622
Rising off the floor ensures you aren't physically blocking vents. A few inches doesn't really help with dust at all.
In general you want it about 3' off the floor or an additional 2' above any obvious sources of concentrated dust.
Dust floats, but the inescapable fact of life is that it also settles. When things move dust gets kicked up and becomes airborne again but more of it remains towards the floor than not and the higher you go, the better.


The 2x4 method to not obstructing vents is a starting point but if you can, every few inches more will do you some good. If possible, consider mounting it to the underside of your desk horizontally.

>>105768716
WD is the best one, the thing is getting a relaible model.
When it comes to small and portable just make your own from a WD green SSD and a ugreen enclosure.
When it comes to big ones, a WD Red Plus drive with a 3.5" enclosure.

>>105768967

If I was an advanced user, that is. I guess I'll get me another Elements. Thanks for the help!
