copy pasted from the other thread:

Disable the following:

Enable the following:

>>105887562
sure they do, but you choose to use chrome and unless you're on linux, you accept windows' telemetry. giving avast (which literally got caught selling clickstream-level browsing data to 3rd parties like advertisers and hedge funds via jumpshot) a pass just because other software already collects data doesn’t make sense if your goal is to reduce how much of your info gets harvested and sold. at the end of the day it's up to you to decide how much you care. if you're used to avast and happy with their service, suit yourself.

>>105887357
>Are high TB SSDs and nvme more prone to failure
yes if the 3TB is quad-level cells QLC and the 2TB is triple-level cells TLC, but they are likely all QLC now, so if you want you ssd to last just make sure you don't fill it up totally so there is some room for background maintenance stuff.

"too much data to trust to one drive" is an ancient fallacy. Higher capacity is always more reliable per bit stored on a long enough time frame.

i want to learn about x86 assembly so i can understand what the compiler defecates onto my hard drive. what's a good starting point for this? the books i've found so far take a first-principles approach and i don't need to relearn programming fundamentals for the umpteenth time.
last person i asked just told me to use a slop bot but i am sure as hell not doing that for anything i don't know well enough to detect bullshit

>>105887756
You're not going to understand much about assembly languages without understanding the basics of chip architecture and memory, at the very least you know what registers are and how they are used.
Aside from that it's just getting used to the operations without the abstraction provided by higher-level languages, like having to use jump statements for conditionals and loops rather than if/else and for/while.

My TV is having trouble playing the MKV for 4k77, but it plays 4k80 and 4k83 fine. The only difference I can see through mpv's info dump is that 4k77 seems to have a variable framerate. It displays two different fps values, specified and estimated.

>>105889548
its simple, you ssd is not one contiguous block, it is subdivided into pages or whatever you want to call it. they can break individually, and most of them they break in a way that still allows reading parts of it (and hopefully recovering all data). the disk can then mark these pages faulty and simply not use them. effectively reducing your total storage capacity.
the manufacturers dont put spare pages into the disk, so to be able to mark pages as faulty and not use them, you have to have some pages free.

>>105889320

>>105889320
generally it depends on the motherboard. either it has the switching logic that can drive the LCD from two sources, or it doesnt. but it means additional latency and reduced FPS and increased PCI bus load as every frame is copied over PCI instead of outputting it directly.
>>105889290
>Are computers smart enough to use the igpu for basic tasks and dgpu for games on my desktop or is it a useless gimmick?
your rtx card is a hundred times more efficient at any task than your igpu. it will never automatically use your igpu unless you connect your monitor to your mobo. and then it will most likely never automatically use your rtx.
though most games and CUDA/compute applications allow you to select the card on which to run. some manually and some have logic to prefer external to internal gpus. with IGPU enabled you can have your rtx send frames over PCI to your iGPU which can then send them out over the mobo HDMI/DP port. obviously this increases latency and system load.

I have this odd issue when trying to plug my Sony Xperia 5 to my PC (Ryzen 7600X/MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk)

When I plug it in, I hear "plugged in" activity from both my phone and PC, but no indication the phone is actually charging. Switching to "file transfer" doesn't work, nor does switching to "USB tether".

HOWEVER, if I select MIDI, then switch to "file transfer", I get a notification on my phone to "install software". I press that, and I can finally access the contents of my phone and see my phone looks to be charging...until the next time I unplug and replug my phone

And to make things weirder? All that only happens on Windows. On Linux, it all works fine out of the box.

>>105887357
Look for MLC or TLC flash and avoid QLC if possible. Always try to get something with DRAM cache. Over-provisioning your capacity and leaving some space unformatted might help the controller do better wear leveling. Beyond that just check the TBW rating.

Too big battery would be needed, the transmitter probably don't need much if very few updates per second is used, but the USB is usually needed to power the device itself as well..
many wants a mouse to have 500-1000 updates per second and that would probably drain the battery quickly, not even counting powering the mouse itself.

Trying to enable ReBAR on muh PC, literally followed every required step I could find (Turn it on in the mobo bios, make sure CSM is off, even flashed new firmware on the mobo, etc.) but for reasons I don't even fathom, despite absolutely everything else in the list of requirements turned on and functional (pic related), it refuses to acknowledge it's turned on.
The fuck am I missing?
Mobo is a 'MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX'.

>>105893197
>Mobo is a 'MSI X470 Gaming Plus MAX'.
I have the exact same motherboard, and I haven't had any issues enabling ReBAR.
Do you know for sure you've enabled it in the BIOS? The checklist says you haven't.
Maybe you enabled it before flashing a new version and forgot to re-enable it.
It's "Re-Size BAR Support", under Settings - Advanced - PCIe/PCI Subsystem Settings.

>>105893542
Just restarted to check, it's absolutely on in the bios.
Only reason why "Above 4G Decode Enabled" is even on is because it auto-enables when turning on ReBAR.

i want to scan a potentially infected HDD. do i just plug it in and scan with defender? will it be fine as long as i dont open anything on the drive?

Wait, isn't ReBAR only officially supported on 30-series and above?
To get it to work with a 2080 Ti, you'd have to install NVStrapsReBAR:

Is that what you meant by "even flashed new firmware on the mobo"?

theoretically, a no click exploit can always exist, is it likely? no. No one can guarantee you will be safe, you will just most likely be safe to plug in and scan

Is there any image hosting service that is somewhat private?

>Is that what you meant by "even flashed new firmware on the mobo"?
No, only flashed the latest stock firmware onto the mobo.
Bizarre that's the case though if it's not 'supposed' to be able to do it. The GPU's been V-RAM modded with 2x the normal amount, so it wouldn't surprise me if the GPU firmware might have been modified to that end.
REALLY don't want to be fucking around with the mobo firmware, so this might be a lost cause for the time being. Fuck.

I swapped my gpu but now my computer won't start anymore, no POST beeps, one system fan doesn't go on, and I am not sure if the cpu fan is spinning either. The gpu clip on the motherboard has come lose (fucking piece of shit was hard to let go of the gpu) and I hit the chipset a few times with a screwdriver by accident trying to push the gpu clip down.

i wouldn't go that far without testing more. Do you have the older GPU to test against? or maybe an integrated one (depending on your processor).
Give it a try. Also double check if it's fitted right. The cards of nowadays are bigger and heavier and tend to displace a millimeter or two (most manufacturers include some sort extra supporting plates due to this)

Realistically, how often should power boards be replaced, especially with frequently used devices like PCs being involved? I've been using the same one for ~7 years and with a full workstation being replaced, I figure I'd also look into whether it might be worth changing out the board for a fresh one.

Considering pricing seems to all over the price from inexpensive to 10x the price and then some, I figure I'll also ask if a company like Belkin has any practical justification in charging a fair bit for an eight-way when compared to something that costs half as much, let alone a fraction of the price.

>>105898099
sure but you still lose more if it does happen.
if there's backups i think it's pointless to consider failure, if at home there's usually some amount of time before a backup is taken since most dont automate it.
feels like the failure risk should be more than double with 2 drives since there are twice as many as them. although if you spread work out across 2 drives there should be less wear and tear on each individual drive.

It is actually a really cool experiment in Minnesota. Basically in each of those domes a certain O2:CO2 ratio is maintained. Been going on for decades at this point.

Long short is that higher CO2 concentrations increase vertical plant growth, but it isn't linear and it varies by species. The results are particularly dramatic in trees, as they allocate all of their carbon towards vertical growth first. How fast that vertical growth occurs can dramatically affect future stand composition.

It isn't necessarily a good thing for the trees. The accelerated vertical growth can out pace the ability of the tree to absorb and transport calcium. It is more noticeable in the MN experiment because the trees are growing in bogs and fens that are already calcium poor, and have limited O2 available for root growth. (calcium and some other minerals need the physical root hairs to come in contact with the dissolved ions for absorption to occur; these ions can only be transported up the xylem)

Holding shift also toggles between scrolling vertically and horizontally. And shift also opens links in new windows (but that last one you probably knew about). Holding ctrl while clicking a link opens it in a tab without switching to the tab.

I wish holding both ctrl+shift disabled clickable links, so that I could select text as if it wasn't clickable. It's annoying needing to start dragging from outside a link if you want to copy part of the clickable text.

>your rtx card is a hundred times more efficient at any task than your igpu.
I don't believe that. Laptop iGPUs run on less than a dozen watts even at load, and probably single digit watts just for a low-load desktop or video or something. Now the 9800x3d isn't a laptop cpu but I think its igpu is gonna be the same, I don't think AMD has separate laptop vs. high-power igpus.
Meanwhile both of my recent dedicated GPUs would idle at at least 30W even on a blank desktop. Now it was an older nvidia GPU and now I've upgraded to a recent AMD one, so I don't know if the newest nvidia cards are super efficient at low loads now, but I'd be very surprised if it could match the power draw of an iGPU, let alone be "a hundred times more efficient".

For demanding loads, definitely. But for stuff that would be considered near-idle for both the igpu and the big one, I'm pretty positive that the igpu will win out big time.

im planning to switch to linux and trial run it this summer. I worked with ubuntu and mint before but it was purely for work, i didn't use it for gayming and other programs i use frequently. My question is, how's compatibility with everyday programs, ones you install on a whim (i use one called taiga for example that tracks local anime, x360ce etc) Does wine work on those? I'm sorry if this is dumb but i have to make sure before i fully commit. I'm also planning to try arch since i want to rice to the max (i already "riced" windows as much as it can but i can't stand the bloat anymore)

>>105901234
Ah, well, if you enabled it that's probably what your issue was, assuming you didn't add the firewall exceptions. Add an exception for ssh port (22) as well, and
cd /boot
touch ssh[/code
so you can ssh into username@ip

>>105901234
Decided to turn mine on and give it a shot; It's working fine.

>>105901237
Yeah usually wine will work for 99% of stuff.
Also when you switch to linux, the "programs you install on a whim" will tend to be linux programs. Most of the random shit I have installed has the opposite problem of not being available on windows (except on WSL obviously). I personally don't even have wine set up outside of Steam, but yeah it's reasonable to have it around for a handful of niche software that's windows-only and doesn't have any alternatives.

what's the best way to get a bunch of gmail accounts?
does the burner phone factory reset method still work or should i just buy them somewhere? i only need about 100-200 accounts.

>>105901237
generally you will want to look for linux incidental programs rather than trying to use exactly what you currently use in wine. some of what you use may happen to already have linux versions, those are the easy ones, others may have basically identical alternatives, others maybe less identical, but wine should be your last resort, i mean it doesn't have to be, it's really up to you preferences, but naturally you can expect less issues with stuff made for linux than stuff running in wine.
taiga appears to work, though it needs an account to use it seems. i can search for anime with it.
for x360ce, i wouldn't expect that to work, however i use xboxdrv to achieve the same thing, to get a playstation 1/2 controller adapter to appear as an xbox 360 controller to games

>>105901237
>>105901887
>i wouldn't expect that to work
to explain why, wine doesn't handle drivers, at all. i don't know how x360ce works, and thinking about it, maybe it doesn't touch any drivers and might work
xboxdrv on linux does driver stuff so i was probably thinking of that

>>105901949
i might be wrong but when you first install it it makes you download some drivers.

>>105901949
also is there a site or something central where you can look up linux alternatives if googling obscure programs doesn't return anything

>>105901977
i'm not sure either, i have used it before, but its been a long time
if however it work by means of a hook dll, like a fake xinput or something, that might work. hook dll's work in wine. but if it creates it's own fake 360 controller driver, that won't work

>>105901988
>but if it creates it's own fake 360 controller driver,
i think it does since whatever controller or device you use gets recognized as a 360 controller

>>105901982
yes, alternativeto.net is your friend. you'll be surprised how many obscure options are listed there so don't assume it won't have what you're looking for

>>105901998
if it shows up in the windows gamepads/joysticks control panel, then it's surely a driver

My home internet provides over 2 Gbps download speeds, but my modem only has 1 Gbps Ethernet ports.
My PC has two network ports: a built-in 1 Gbps port and a separate 2.5 Gbps card.
Can I connect both PC ports to 2 separate modem ports to achieve the full 2 Gbps speed?
If not, I could set specific programs to use a specific network interface and separate general usage on one card and torrenting on the other, but would this even make sense? I'm only going over 1gbps if I'm downloading something large from a single program anyway.

>Are high TB SSDs and nvme more prone to failure
Yes.
>Like will a 3TB SSD be more likely to have errors than a 2TB?
Yes.

In terms of failures per capacity larger capacities are always less reliable, down to an analog scale. What people don't understand is that products are engineered with some built-in error correction and in some cases even redundancy to supply "error free" storage, and this is what makes advancements in capacity generally as (or more) reliable than smaller capacity hardware. The per-bit reliability goes down, but more error correcting bits are put alongside them, so it evens out (or comes out on top) in the end.

Catastrophic failure (crashed head, bricked SSD controller, etc) still happens and negates any error mitigation though so all eggs in one is still risky.

>>105887739
>"too much data to trust to one drive" is an ancient fallacy.
No, it isn't.
>Higher capacity is always more reliable per bit stored on a long enough time frame.
It's actually the exact opposite.

>>105888142
>how is it a fallacy?
It isn't. He's full of shit.

>a failure is a failure, either you stand to lose 2 TB or 4 TB. if you had spread those 4 TB across two disks you'd only lose half of it.
Correct.

>>105898099
Trying to math it is a waste of time.
All your eggs in one basket has 100% been proven time and time again over thousands of years to be a larger risk than dividing them up into smaller containers, assuming if they all fail together.
Hard drives are no different.

>>105898233
>sure but you still lose more if it does happen.
Yeah.
>if there's backups i think it's pointless to consider failure
Failure is still failure, and larger drives take longer to re-fill.
>if at home there's usually some amount of time before a backup is taken since most dont automate it.
Also true, which is why some redundancy for normies and their storage to "survive" until backups are synced up has value.

>What people don't understand is that products are engineered with some built-in error correction and in some cases even redundancy to supply "error free" storage
You don't understand statistics. If the drive has the same MTBF and it's larger, it has lower error rate per bit stored. It doesn't matter if the underlying media has more errors. That's the controller's problem.
>All your eggs in one basket
Nobody ever said that retard. If all your eggs are in one basket, you're trying to keep more data than you can afford. Completely different problem.

What's currently the best free AI for me if I want to use it to plan and evaluate academic research? I've got friends with ChatGPT accounts, but otherwise preferably nothing requiring a phone number or something.

>>105903006
>Can I connect both PC ports to 2 separate modem ports to achieve the full 2 Gbps speed?
I think so, at least sometimes I see this advertised as a feature. I've never done this myself though.

I think if you actually regularly use those speeds, it would definitely be worthwhile to invest in a 5G or 2.5G switch. They're cost a bit more than normal 1G stuff but they're still not that expensive (certainly a lot cheaper than 10G equipment).
Actually, does your ISP-provided router not have any >1G ports? That's weird from them if so.

>>105903154
So you have over ten thousand unknown images (because you don't want to look through them) and you want them to automatically become organised?
Well either someone has to look through them, or something. You could try AI tagging models. I think someone has trained some based on e.g. booru tags (should work well for anime pics) - basically the reverse of image generation models. It's going to be imperfect and it's gonna make mistakes, but it might get most images classified mostly correctly. I don't know any by name, ask in some of the multiple AI generals on the board (maybe /sdg/)

>>105903291
You mean you have a password protected archive and want to open it?
You either find the password saved somewhere else or you brute force it. Brute forcing is infeasible if the password is good, but might be easy if it's something short and shitty.

>game files
If the game is supposed to open them, then the game will have access to the password somewhere. So in theory you can 100% get it, in practice that might be more or less difficult depending on how much effort they went to to hide it. If you've never done any reverse engineering whatsoever it's probably gonna be tough either way. But it's a fun project!

>>105903637
I sometimes drag images (or files in general) to upload boxes on websites. If I happen to have a file manager open on the right file already, and I open catbox or something, it's often easier to just drag the file from the file manager's window rather than click "Browse" and navigating to the file all over again. That's pretty much the only usecase for click-and-drag for me.

But for files it makes sense. The main operation you do on files, in a manager, is moving them. Sometimes you want to select a range, but using shift-click always works.
Meanwhile for text, it's relatively rare that you need to drag it around. Opening a link is almost always easier just by clicking it (or middle-clicking/ctrl-clicking, as needed) than dragging it to a new tab/window. And in a non-editing context, there's no way to "set a cursor" to then shift-click somewhere else, so click-and-drag is the ONLY way to select text; there should therefore never be anything which prevents it from being done. It's beyond retarded.
And what I hate the most is when you drag your mouse to select some text, but say you got the selection wrong, so you try to drag another selection but no what it does is it "moves" your current selection using click-and-drag. I have NEVER wanted to move text graphically this way, and as far as I'm aware there's no way to prevent this (holding shift or ctrl or whatever, none of it works), you're forced to click away to un-select first if you want to redo your selection.

>And in a non-editing context, there's no way to "set a cursor" to then shift-click somewhere else, so click-and-drag is the ONLY way to select text;
in firefox you can click somewhere in text to set an invisible cursor, then you press shift and click somewhere else to make a selection

and after you've made your selection you can hold shift to change it with the arrow keys (or use home/end, pageup/pagedown), can hold ctrl as well to jump by words

Oh huh. You're right. I guess I never tried it

>it's dragging links/images out of the browser that i wonder if anybody actually make use of
I was honestly questioning usefulness of click-and-drag as a concept entirely. Or at least, and in particular, click-and-drag of text.
As far as dragging images (not text) out of the browser, IMO once every blue moon I also find it useful to re-upload an image to catbox by dragging it from another tab to my catbox tab, or to an upload field in an IM webclient, stuff like that. But also this fails to work half the time for some reason (image doesn't drag, dragged image doesn't qualify for pasting or uploading, etc.) so I don't know.

Sorry, I honestly have zero reverse-engineering skills. It's very much possible to learn if your IQ isn't atrocious, but it does take some effort to get up to speed if you've never done it before.
Just spitballing here, a very rough idea of how it would probably be done would be to watch the windows API calls for the moment the game opens the archive file, and trace execution to try to identify the decryption step. Possibly the game is using some standard encryption library and you can find the right functions and watch those.

But I don't even know what the tools to use for this are, you'd be better served typing "decompiling" or "reverse engineering" into youtube or something. Or asking an LLM for starting pointers.
Or maybe a more experienced anon than me can chime in, but it's not a super common skillset. I'd start with the LLM if I were you and go from there, expect to spend at least a couple of evenings on this.

>>105905675
Also, by "standard encryption library" I obviously meant some zip library. Maybe windows has some built-in APIs for those, maybe they link to some other existing implementation. It'd be a little bit weird for the game to re-implement zip file support from scratch.
So that could be a point to identify (somehow) and then you trace execution and dump the decryption key that's passed.

How hard would it be to set run linux in Windows? I don't even know how it's supposed to work but I know some people do.

It's called Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and afaik it works pretty well. I've never used it, but from what I heard it basically works just fine if you treat it as a virtual machine; it just has quirks if you try to use it as a way to "run linux programs in windows" because it's got some peculiarities in terms of how e.g. you share files/folders and stuff

And also you can always run an actual virtual machine if you want to

>>105905919
Thanks for the reply. Also, you gonna take me for a retard for this, but I never did run a virtual machine. It's I think my pc is not very bad: i5-12400F, 32 GB RAM, RX 6750 XT GPU, would it be able to run one? Can i trust chatGPT with guiding me into setting one the right way?

>>105905944
Slow SD card can affect some things if anything needs to e.g. write logs or something. Use something like htop or btop to monitor a) your I/O, b) your free RAM and c) your CPU usage, to see if you can spot any bottlenecks. You can also use fio to benchmark your card, and then see if the I/O numbers you see during regular usage come close to the benchmarks (meaning it's saturating the card's speed).
If you're running out of RAM that would be catastrophic also. This really shouldn't happen normally with just one firefox tab open. But I dunno, what DE did you install (if any)? And how much RAM does your model have? If it's like 1GB, and you're running full GNOME or something and then Firefox on top, it might actually be swapping (or trying to, miserably).

The other thing I can think of is possibly insufficient power supply. But I'm not sure if that would cause slowness or just instability and crashes. IIRC you need at least 1A on your microUSB power cable, maybe even more if you can get it? It's been ages since I've used an old raspi.

>>105906022
Running a virtual machine does not require amazing specs: the VM will get a subset of your main machine, plus a small amount of overhead (which should be fine unless you're running on an absolute total toaster). Having more than a bare minimum potato is useful if you want to do stuff on your VM AND on the host, or have multiple VMs. Especially in terms of RAM moreso than CPU even, since every VM basically needs to load its entire OS into RAM so if you're running multiple VMs there's no getting around that.
Anyway all of that to say that your PC is more than good enough to run a VM, or even quite many VMs at the same time. But in your case, since you want to use it for AI stuff, you probably want to allocate some respectable amount of power and memory to one big VM.

The main difficulty is going to be passing the GPU to the VM. Unlike the CPU and RAM, you can't allocate some "virtual GPU" and expect full performance; for AIslop work, you'd want to pass through your entire GPU to the VM. This is somewhat annoying - in particular, it makes the GPU unavailable to the host OS (i.e. windows).
So if I were you I'd definitely try with WSL first and see if you can access your GPU from there. It might work better than an actual VM.

>>105905944

Won't this be an issue given my CPU doesn't have the integrated GPU?

>given my CPU doesn't have the integrated GPU?
Wait, does it not? Since when do intel CPUs come without one
If it really doesn't then yeah that'll be an issue. Again, then, look into WSL first. A VM would be something to look into only if WSL doesn't work for some reason

>>105906273
Yeah the i5-12400F does not. I thought myself to be smart because I could save a bit on the CPU getting this instead of the regular one, then after I build everything I realised if ever my GPU will die I won't even be able to use my computer, welp.
Also, alright, gotta start with the WSL first then. Thank you for taking the time to reply me bro, hope you have a good morning/night.

>ublock stopped working on Chrome (although I can still install the packaged version if I turn off something in flags)
Should I migrate to Firefox or Brave? Which is better and why nowadays? I used to be a huge fan of Firefox before 2015, but then I lost my savings because I invested into the Firefox OS for phones and they also did something about gays.

Just whatever Rasbian comes with by default. This model does only have 1 GB RAM, though.

I'm supplying 5V 2.5A.

I'm not running out of memory - it showed I was only at 600/900 MB with around 100 MB of swap. with Firefox open.
However, it was at 0 swap before opening Firefox and that was about the time that it went from "not very fast" to "absolute garbage" so maybe it is the SD card. I'll try a different one and see if the issue persists.

>>105906686
It worked thanks dude, another extra step but it works

>>105907078
Yeah, linux often tries to use swap before getting to literally 100% usage. For some reason, even in 2025, memory pressure scenarios are still pretty bad for users on linux.
I think the issue is just swapping in general. An SD card is like the lowest tier of storage possible speed-wise, at least modern storage. Even swapping to a fast SSD is a very very mediocre experience, meanwhile an SD card is so far below in terms of performance it's gonna be orders of magnitude slower no matter what.
Apparently it uses labwc for its desktop which is supposed to be really small. I'm guessing running Firefox on 1GB ram is just not something you should be doing in 2025.

If you really need to use a web browser, I'd say spend fourty-fifty bucks on a newer model with 2-4GB of RAM. But since you said you just want it for a specific purpose to display a camera stream, you probably don't need to run modern web browser there. Test it with the actual thing you want to do with it (e.g. mpv, I'd assume) and see if it works well enough for you.

Depends on the bulb.
Incandescents can.
CCFLs can.
LEDs? Generally shouldn't, but you never know for sure unless you test them. Some emit UV and use phosphors to convert to yellow and that can decay letting it leak UV. It's usually not high dosage but worth looking into.

For what it's worth you can be cooking yourself with UV emitting bulbs and not even know about it because you can't SEE the wavelengths that cause tanning. They're just normally included and primarily supplied by sunlight so you equate bright light = tan but it's not that simple.
You can potentially tan in complete (from your perspective) darkness.

Is broadcast TV any good? I ask becuase cable sucks and charges too much and then we switched to fiber and that sucks and charges too much.

The fiber provides good internet and phone, and the TV is like 4/5ths of the rate. I had the thought of cutting the plan back to just phone and net and then buying an antenna (once) and then watching just broadcast TV.

Has anyone else done this? How is it working out?

>>105901302
>>105901454
Apparently I don't have it installed, I may be thinking of another device I've done that with.

Either way I redid the network settings on the rpi itself and included IPv6 this time. It's actually doing something now but not 100%. I must have fudged a number or something.

>>105906637
It was quite a bit before, but it passed some. I forgot which specifics. One website gave me a score of 43 out of 100. After messing with the network settings again I get 74. So now I'm failing banner advertisements and script execution.
I went to check some news sites and it seems to be doing well for those for the most part. I can still see some of the banners that uBlock would normally block, but I can't see the content. just an empty rectangle. Interstitial ads are similar. They can pop up but I don't really see the content, just an empty rectangle.

>since you said you just want it for a specific purpose to display a camera stream, you probably don't need to run modern web browser there
They're [spoiler]Nest[/spoiler] cameras, so I don't know of any other way to see their feed except by accessing the official website.
Are there any web browsers that are even MORE stripped-down than Chromium and Firefox? I figured if there were, they'd be included on the RasPi OS by default.

>>105910258
the overwhelming majority of crashes are because of bad/no drivers. so you want a distro with a very recent kernel. fedora arch etc.

>>105910258
Distros don't normally crash unless they do really, really weird shit
Pick one with a mainline kernel (not some meme "tuned" kernel like cachyos does) and use something lightweight and stable for your desktop, ideally just a small WM for example. But really in this day and age even KDE isn't that bad, but if you absolutely don't want to crash then you can avoid it if you want.

>on modern hardware
Hardware drivers are part of the linux kernel which is shared between all distros. If your hardwre is fucked on linux, then it's fucked, you either find some patch or workaround to fix it (on any distro) or you're fucked (on any distro).
But that barely ever happens.

>>105910455
Oh yeah never mind, >>105910448 makes a good point, kernel updates matter. I forgot dinosaur distros still have a habit of shipping ancient kernels for some reason.

>>105905867
Mozilla removed this from their FAQ:
>Does Firefox sell your personal data?
>Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.
Proof: https://archive.is/

They didn't just say they won't sell your data but emphasized that it's a promise. Whoever is at Mozilla now is not the same people, they removed that promise. Some linux distros have stopped shipping with Firefox because of this (switching to Brave), you can't trust Mozilla Firefox any longer.

So as long as the software stays up to date that means that I should be in the safe an minimize the amount of crashes I get?
Sometimes I’m using Linux mint xfce and get a freeze and crash to desktop even when playing old games.
I read that Linux mint is slow to update so I figured that an xfce distro like xubuntu or fedora xfce might be a good choice though I am not sure. I don’t consider myself very tech savvy I just got into Linux now that windows ten is winding down.

Can linux get infected with malware if wine is installed?

Just bought a new Razer Basilisk V3
Worked fine for a few hours, then froze and doesn't turn on anymore after unplugging it.

Just incredibly confused by this shit

>>105912895
some kinds of malware could work hypothetically. just having wine installed wouldn't increase your risk however, you'd still have to run something malicious.
wine is not a sandbox, you should treat .exe's like you would a native program, i.e. if you don't trust it, run it (wine) in a sandbox

what is a good Lisp course that i can pirate?

What is a simple but reliable way that would let me watch internet video streams (Youtube, whatever) in configurable exact fullscreen or windowed window sizes? Is there even a way?

>viewing a 1080p video
I want this to be displayed on 1920x1080 pixels of my 1440p display.
>viewing a 720p video
I want to have the option to nearest-neighbor upscale it to 2560x1440 (2x height 2x width, no blur) if I want OR view it natively at 1280x720 with letterboxing.
>viewing 480p
want the same options

I'm considering running a virtual machine just so I can set that to whatever res and just rely on its containerized "fullscreen" existing in a draggable window but that seems like it should be unnecessary or overkill. I hate not being able to simply view 1080p content on 1440p without hideous blurring. I just want videos to be displayed in their native res 99% of the time and I feel this shouldn't be too much to ask for, but apparently it fucking is.

My issue is only for streamed media, for downloaded stuff I already have a solution. Just playback letterboxed.
Maybe I'm retarded, but how would I get a youtube video (in a youtube tab in my browser) to play in MPV without first downloading and playing it locally in MPV?

>>105914405
mpv has yt-dlp integration, so you can open links from basically any website, including youtube. i watch most of my youtube videos in mpv. there's also a script for sponsorblock support in mpv before you ask.
if you're using linux, having yt-dlp installed is enough, if using windows you may need to drop the yt-dlp executable in the mpv folder (don't quote me, i don't use windows myself but it won't be hard to find instructions)

>>105914392
You won't get experience from coursera, you get experience from employment (chicken-and-egg problem) or potentially from a portfolio of hobby projects.
But, if you don't know enough right now to actually do any hobby projects, something like coursera can be better than nothing. If you're disciplined and dilligent about learning, it can give you a structured starting point and you can go from there researching any specific things you want to learn more about.
Also because it's 2025, I want to also mention talking to LLMs for learning if you aren't already doing it. Verify what they tell you, but a lot of the time they work really well as basically a search engine that can respond to your queries in natural language.

>>105914405
>>105914453
btw i do mean mpv has options the exact examples you provided, like you can configure automatic profiles to make 1080p just unscaled with a black background, 720p doubled with point filtering (i.e. "no" filtering), and/or you can configure keyboard shortcuts to flip between such options. it'll take a bit of reading, but you can do what you're asking for

Brave is fantastic since they have uBlock Origins and NoScript built-in as a manifest v2 extension, even though Alphabet has removed v2 from Chromium. If they are able to keep that up I'll be impressed.

I also didn't trust Brave before due to the crypto referral link swap, but that was so long ago now and they apologized when removing it.

I tried plugging in my current phone charger but it does nothing, maybe it's too weak?

What local LLM can completely replace wikipedia?

>>105916279
You just need a charger that can also supply 19-20 volts. Necessary minimum amperage of the connected charger is written on a sticker on the back of your laptop.

>>105916332
Do they make chargers that can supply a different voltage depending on the device that's plugged in? A phone's not going to take 19+ volts.

How do I motivate myself to work? I haven't delivered a single project in over a year. Sometimes I feel bad for the management, but not bad enough to stop being a lazy useless fuck.

>>105916365
Most of the chargers that has usb-c ports can supply more than 5V that is necessary to charge a phone, unless it's the cheapest chinkshit sub 10€ charger.

>>105916332
should I also get a new cable?

>>105916365
Read the label on the side of the charger. Most laptop chargers supply the full USB-PD range 5-20V.

>>105916437
If you plan to source 65W or more you need a cable with an e-mark chip for the appropriate wattage.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_Power_Delivery

>>105916437
Go fuck yourself i really wanted to help someone.

>>105916365
USB is 5V initially but thru various protocols the connected device can ask for more. Also ask how much amps it can take so it wouldn't trigger overcurrent protection.

Wtf is this? They got rid of the OTP sign-in option? It wants me to verify my number via google play services on my phone, which I'm never going to do.
It doesn't even show me an option to change the verification method. How are people without smartphones supposed to sign in on their desktops?

Is this a general change google's rolling out or did my organization flip some retarded switch?

>>105916464
ok I checked my laptop charger and it's 300W...

my question is too stupid for the stupid questions thread?

>>105916509
>Also ask how much amps it can take so it wouldn't trigger overcurrent protection
That's not a thing. Your device draws as much as it needs. The charger is constant voltage / variable current.

Is wireguard the best method to connect to my home network if I have a openwrt router?

>>105916592
Anon. A device only draws as many watts as it needs. Things only blow up if they draw more watts than an intermediate cable can take - that's not going to happen when your charger is too powerful.
Always remember: voltage is set by the source (and can blow up the consumer if it's not meant to take that voltage). It's the "force" of electricity, so the source (e.g. charger) needs to be "strong" enough for a powerful device, but not "too forceful" that it'll blow it up. Amperage is the "amount" of electricity: the consumer takes as much or as little as it needs. As long as the "force" of the supply (voltage) is at the right level, the amperage is down to the consumer and it can take as little electricity as it needs. Wattage, power, is nothing more that volts * amps. You can't know if your device will blow up or not just from the wattage, you need to check V and A individually.

USB is special because it has a data connection. Standard USB is always 5V, no more, no less. Every single USB device can take 5V without causing problems or blowing up.
More powerful USB chargers use the data connection to negotiate over a special protocol, and then actively switch their voltage to something both devices agree on. So for example a "20V USB charger" will still supply 5V by default and is safe to plug into any USB device; it just means that it CAN supply 20V, IF the device also supports it and runs the protocol correctly.
So tl;dr is that any USB charger (that's spec-compliant, at least) is safe to charge your phone. The actual voltage set will be the the highest one that the charger and the device (phone or laptop) can agree on; you should choose a charger that's powerful enough to be able to charge your laptop.
Then, once the voltage is set, the device will draw as much or as little power as it needs, up to the maximum the charger is physically able to supply. For example, when your laptop is at 99% charge, it'll probably only draw a fraction of an amp to top up.

Google sign in has always been beyond retarded. My favourite is "whoops, we've decided your password isn't enough, you must enter your phone number so we can verify it's you", when you have no phone number registered on that account.
It also doesn't allow (or used not to) setting TOTP or hardware U2F verification without setting a phone number first. Once you do that you can disable SMS verification and switch to only using TOTP/U2F, but you MUST give your phone number first before being able to enable them.

All of this to say that there's no reason to be surprised that google is just randomly asking you to doxx your phone for no reason.

>on your phone *****...
But it looks like it already has your phone number anyway.
>verify via google play services
Are you sure it's this and not browser-based? It's not just people without a smartphone who wouldn't have gplay, it's also everyone with an iphone, so I doubt they'd do that.

>>105916606
No sorry don't mind me, sometimes i forget that i'm mentally ill. You will need a new cable that is rated for the wattage of the charger or if the charger is capable of supplying more than your laptop needs, the cable should be only rated for what your laptop needs. Keep in mind that your laptop won't charge any faster with a more powerful charger but the more powerful the charger is, the larger and heavier it will be.

I just upgraded my arch install and after it was done (I'm sure it finished) I managed to accidentally cut the power from my pc. Now at grub when it first tries to load initramfs it says "you need to load kernel first", then kernel panics. At the blue kernel panic screen it says "VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". Didn't have time to try to chroot into arch from live usb, will try tomorrow though. Any ideas what to do when I do? I'm afraid I corrupted something related to encryption, since my drive is LUKS encrypted (/root and /home, not /boot).

Pic is not my pc althought same kernel panic screen style.
