I've been thinking about tailsos

Any danger with using a cheap GaN charger from a reputable company?

Picrel on sale at ASDA. One of the big 4 supermarkets in Bongistan. Typical for supermarkets or other big chain stores, they have their own ranges of basic electronics. Just basic stuff made for them by probably a big Chinese factory, with their own brand label slapped on it, and sold for cheaper than famous brands.

This is your typical 65W 3-port charger. Cost is 22 bongbux, while Ugreens and Ankers of the same spec usually go for 30-40 bongbux on Amazon and direct.
But picrel is on sale right now for 11 bongbux. I'm very tempted to pick one up. But...it feels TOO cheap. Too cheap to be safe? Like that's why they're getting rid of stock? None of the supermarkets including ASDA are known for selling dangerous electronics or anything. If it was really dangerous there would be a recall right, instead of a discount?

>>106273378
A recall is issued only if the product is dangerous. If it's just unreliable shit then they'll sell it and hope that people don't bother returning when it inevitably breaks.
Generally, multiport chargers are shit compared to singleport ones – once you plug the second device, most chargers switch to a retarded mode where they barely output any power, sometimes 5V2A per port or even less. All chargers, no matter how expensive, cut the power to all ports when a new device is plugged in, so you won't be able to use that charger to power something that doesn't have its own battery.
I have two IKEA 45W two-port chargers, they are not bad despite the issues mentioned above. Also, IKEA sell long USB C braided cables, those are really good compared to what you can find on Amazon or other retailers.

I wouldn't consider Asda electronics, they only sell shit.

4 24" 1440p displays or one 4k 42" TV?

yt-dlp works kind of inconsistent and all the normie ways of downloading YouTube videos have been taken down or only offer audio and video separately, usually in low res. Any alternatives? Preferably ones for a brainlet.

>>106273608
Thanks
Well as long it's not dangerous I might just take a punt on it for 11 quid. Won't cry if it breaks in a couple of months.

I note the point you make about not being able to power stuff without a battery because of the reset when you plug something new in. Like a RasPi. But this wouldn't be for that. This would just be for my laptop + phone.

I was actually holding out on getting a GaN charger, I don't have one yet. Holding out because
1) They don't seem like a perfected technology yet (even Anker and Ugreen models have a somewhat high failure rate) when I look at ratings/reviews.
2) Was going to get a 100W one, so it can charge my laptop (65W) at full speed but also have more to give to phone. And obviously those are going to be even more expensive than the good 65W models. I have no urgent need for it, was waiting til I next travel abroad to get one.

But for 11 quid, as long as it's not dangeorus, I'll take it. Could do with another 'fast' charger around the house. The only ones I have right now is a max 22W single A port Xiaomi charger that came with a phone, and a C port coming out of my monitor.

(also yeah IKEA cables look very reasonably priced, cheaper than Anker/Ugreen cables? might buy some next time I go there)

Would any kind Anons help a noob out? I have Spectrum internet and the connection quality is spotty and laggy so I was thinking about trying to get a third party modem/router. Do you Anons have any recommendations on what might be the best one or are there no significant differences? Also, any recommendations on an ethernet chord? I think a problem I'm having at the moment is mine is a little busted up which is affecting the signal between the Modem and Router. I was thinking about getting a 3rd Party one off Amazon, but I see a lot of them have gold-plated connections and I remember back day getting an HDMI cable like that and it being horrible, so I don't want to make a mistake like that again.

Nevermind, that didn't last long.

>>106273867
Sounds like you know what you're doing, and £11 is a good deal considering the warranty.
If you want a high quality power adaptor at some point, the Steam Deck charger is excellent and reasonably priced (you get one for free if you buy their USB-C dock) and Apple laptop chargers are generally good.
The free Xiaomi chargers tend to be excellent, however they require their special Type A cable to deliver high power, and I wasn't able to source genuine Xiaomi cables yet (apart from the one I got with the phone).
If you want exceptional features for cheap (such as 5V5A), there are GaN adapters "for Raspberry" on AliExpress, I got a couple and they are very decent.
I just found this on AliExpress:

Does hitomi downloader still work with sad panda?

I use Tartube on my machine and it's still working really well.

My laptop with an integrated Arc 140V keeps getting notifications from Intel Graphics to enable Resizable BAR for optimal performance, but my bios doesn't have any Resizable BAR options in it and googling it Resizable BAR seems to be a PCIe function that allows the CPU to access the VRAM directly. Since an iGPU doesn't use PCIe or have its own VRAM does that mean the notification is nonsense?

Do these bluetooth dongles with antennas actually increase range or is it just a meme?

Should I even bother cloning a drive if it isn't an OS drive? Probably faster than copying but is it necessary?

Linux is ready for arm. RPi has been using it for years. You can get a linux distro in your arm android phone and run programs there. Linux runs in m1 and m2 Macs.

What's missing is a company betting on arm laptops. I guess Windows on arm will make those more popular.

I tried installing it and the answer is: NO.
This project depends on nvidia-pyindex, which only supports Linux.
From nvidia-pyindex, it's supposed to fetch nvidia-tensorrt, but they only publish Linux builds: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist/nvidia-tensorrt/

If you **need** to get this running, start by installing Ubuntu 22.04 on a computer with Nvidia GPU, then `sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit nvidia-cudnn build-essential` and follow the instructions from that huggingface page.

Sometime i found a non-HDR 1080p release converted from UHD HDR source. Is the conversion "straight forward" process or it is more like a "guess work" i.e. it would fuck up the color if the encoder is inexperienced and output wrong color compare to like a normal 1080p release from a 1080p source?

I've been getting alerts about unusual activity sign-ins to one of my outlook accounts from other countries. I've changed my password but this still keeps happening.
I haven't switched to 2-factor authentication yet but want to work out how this hacker is still getting to sign in?

I've had unusual activity reported on one of my outlook accounts which I access only from a PC. Last time this happened (unusual activity from multiple countries) I changed the password and enabled 2-factor authentication from another email on my Apple ipad.
However the unusual sign in has happened again and there is no notification on my ipad requesting the login code. How can that happen?

>>106274725
>gold-plated connections
This is almost always a lie, there is no gold and even if there were any then it would scrape off the first time you plug the cable in.
Buy cables from reputable companies (some good chink ones are Ugreen, Kenable) or go with Amazon Basics. What you absolutely want to avoid is any mention of Aluminium or CCA.
Do not fall for Cat7-8, since Cat5e cables are more than sufficient for 5Gbit/s at up to 100m.
Don't sweat too much over the decision, it's not that important.
>modem
First establish whether the modem part is slow, or the router+WiFi part. Do speed tests over direct cable connection and see if you get the advertised speed of your plan. If you do, then the modem is good and you can switch it to bridge mode and shove another router into it, doesn't have to be a whole new modem and there's more choice.
>router
I'm terms of router, I had excellent WiFi coverage with an Asus RT-AC87U but it's old and unsupported. I got a Mikrotik router to replace it and I'm very disappointed with it, today I'd probably buy this https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-be9300/

Also, if the problem is only limited to WiFi, you can buy only an additional Access Point to be placed in a poorly covered area, this could prove to be the cheapest and easiest solution.

>>106279379
>there is no notification on my ipad requesting the login code.
Generally this is accomplished by stealing the session ticket or cookie from an existing device. After you log in (with or without 2FA), your client stores a session token allowing it to continue being logged in.
>How can that happen?
It says suspicious activity, not login, so I wouldn't worry about it. The provider is retarded for even passing this information to its users, there's nothing you can do to prevent random people from trying to log in to random accounts, nor is this dangerous in any way (unless the provider is retarded and insecure to begin with).

turned on my pc and tried mounting my external hdd, and suddenly it made 3 copies of itself and moved all its contents into the last one.

There's no perfect way to convert hdr to sdr since you're trying to represent something with less. Ideally, it will look similar. Some of them can make things look flag, dark, dull, etc.
There are many tonemapping algorithms. The ones supported by ffmpeg are: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#:~:text=tonemapping

You could instead download the hdr file and configure tonemapping locally in your video player. I think MPV player uses ffmpeg's auto feature directly so it might be better than the limited algorithms in VLC player - this might be able to detect if the video file has dynamic HDR10+ metadata and use st2094-40 instead of the default (probably hable like VLC player).

I'm doing cybersec which does involve very quick and dirty scripting to match unique environments. I do most of that through VScode, which works flawlessly for my small needs. The big pain-point so far has been MS-Teams, but that has improved tremendously in teams-for-linux. If you are full-time programming I'm probably not your guy to ask.

Thanks. I was wondering about VS Code, so that's helpful to know. Luckily I don't have to deal with Teams or anything similar.

So, which software can I use that can translate a PDF document of more than 200 pages keeping the format? Besides Chat gpt, what are other good options?

>>106272575 (OP)
You see how some people will host some services like file sharing, pastebins, or even nextcloud for others to use for free? e.g. Catbox, Invidious, 4get. I was wondering if anyone does the same but for LLMs. Considering you can run your own Deepseek/Chatgpt/whatever locally, surely someone out there is hosting one for other anons to use, right? or is it simply not feasible?
>just do it yourself bro
I'm a poorfag. I'm really grateful for the people hosting those services, but I don't want to create an Openai or Deepseek account just to occasionally ask an AI chatbot some questions, I don't trust them with my data.

Why is there no web browser that let's you keep "separate sessions" in which cookies are not allowed to interact with one another?

I.e. you have one session which always has your anime/hentai sites cookies, one session that has your serious business cookies, one session where you keep your serious gamer who doesn't jerk off to anime cookies, etc. Would epically fuck with tracking and so on too.

>>106285708
Firefox Container Tabs does exactly this.
Also, try going to about:profiles.

>>106285708
isn't that firefox profiles do? chromium browsers might have something similar
I believe the private browsing instance is also separate from a non-private instance, so they wouldn't share cookies on the user end, but with user profiling being as advanced as it is, it would pretty damn obvious to the server/website that the two connections coming from the same IP with identical OS are the same person. So while the site won't expose that link to the user (and share cookies across sessions), they'll definitely do it on their end for data harvesting.

>>106285708
Firefox container tabs keep your cookies/site data separate. To foil history probing you need to use different browser profiles. Because you still have the same cache contents with container tabs.

I recently installed new RAM in my laptop and updated some drivers, including WLAN drivers

However, now my wifi is acting up and every few minutes web pages won't load or a lose a connection despite windows not detecting a drop.

Is there an easy way to roll back to the prior WLAN drivers or uninstall that update? It's possible while putting the ram in I accidently nudging the wifi card or something but I'd like to rolling the driver back first

I see some instructions online for how to manually remove your current wifi drivers, but they don't seem to specify how to find the old drivers you used to have? (Also, would WLAN drivers even impact wifi or is it just the physical LAN port?)

>>106278372

Why has this started popping up on my phone over the last few months? It just happens randomly

Streams/videos freeze on my other monitors when I run fullscreen games. What setting am I looking for to prevent this? I didn't have this issue with a 5800x, now I'm on a 9950X3D with ProcessLasso and I've played around with CPU ProBalance, affinity, priority to no avail.

Thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy watch. I have never had a smartwatch. Can I buy one of these old watches used off Amazon for like half the trade-in value and trade it in for the deal? For example, I found an Amazon Renewed™ Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for $120. Can I buy that for $120 and trade it in for $250 off the Ultra? Is it really that easy? I even live like two blocks away from the post office lol.

Also general thoughts on Galaxy Watches? Specifically going for Galaxy because they have some FDA-approved sleep apnea tracking thing. I do not have a Samsung phone.

I want to convert my JBOD to two RAID1 volumes.
sda+sdb, sdd+sde

NAME SIZE TYPE FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT UUID
sda 7.3T disk
─sda1 7.3T part ext4 /media_two
sdb 7.3T disk
─sdb1 7.3T part ext4 /media
sdc 111.8G disk
─sdc1 111.8G part ext4 /ssd
sdd 12.7T disk
sde 12.7T disk
─sde1 12.7T part ext4 /media_three


Is the arch wiki "Convert a single drive system to RAID" the best resource to go through with this?

They're all non-boot drives for a NAS. I can unmount them freely.
Only "issue" I can think of is the /sdd drive is 7200 rpm, all the other drives are 5400rpm. But afaik it'll just run at slower speeds.

Any other caveats or gotchas I should consider?

>>106286996
why two raid1's and not just one raid1? if it's because they're not the same size or you don't want to waste space, btrfs's raid1 supports mixed size drives and by default does two copies of data regardless of how many drives are used
you can also add drives one at a time so you don't need to back up all four drives at once

>>106287079
I wanted something that I don't need to fuck around with and is rock solid stupid reliable so I was just going to do ext4 mdadm.

I don't really like making things complicated or tinkering around, I just need it to be good enough and never have to touch it again after setup.

>>106287183
btrfs has been perfectly stable for years now anon.
but sure, do that instead and miss out on;
- one volume you can put everything onto instead of two
- snapshots/compression/subvolumes/reflinks/etc
- easily add/remove/upgrade individual drives at any time
- checksums and automatic healing (mdadm has no way to know which copy in a raid1 is correct if a disc has an error, you have to handle that yourself, not that you'd know if there was one, because ext4 also can't tell if data has gone bad)

>>106287252
I don't see myself needing any of that to be honest. I want the defaults to do what they need to do and not need to play around with tweaking settings or configuring things beyond what it takes for mdadm + ext4.

I appreciate your input nonetheless and I did think about all of what you said.

>>106287308
then sure, skimming that article it describes a process i have done myself before ages ago. basically just making a degraded raid1 out of one disc, copy the stuff to it from the existing disc, then adding the disc you just copied from to the raid1, making it no longer degraded

>>106286996
do raid 1+0

What are some good lightweight/low performance impacting remote desktop tools so I can switch to controlling and viewing one PC from another on the same network/in the same room for multitasking?

Anyone know a program that can slow down the execution speed of another program? Basically, I'm looking for a modern equivalent of the turbo button. I don't care if it's for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

>>106287374
rdp for windows
vnc for others
parsec has low latency for remote, not just same lan but you shouldn't need that for lan

>>106287363
he can't, the two pairs are differently sized

>>106287423
yeah that's the point, you mirror same size disks (1) and then stripe across them (+0)
can always add another mirrored pair when you want, and if you want to upgrade just always buy pairs of two disks and replace them in pairs one at a time.
best way to achieve redundancy without hassle of rebuilding arrays

>>106287441
if he makes a 14+14TB mirror and an 8+8TB mirror, he'll have a 14TB raid1 and an 8TB raid1, you can't stripe these unless you sacrifice a fair chunk and make an 8+8TB stripe, with the remaining 6TB of the 14TB raid1 being separate.
i suppose that is an option, resulting in a 6TB volume which is just a mirror of part of the 14TB discs, and a 16TB raid10 of all of them

>>106287464
raid0 (stripe) can be separate size disks, the full size will be used.

>>106287464
>>106287476
just learned that mdadm does not work this way. I haven't used mdadm in forever though so forgive my ignorance.
lvm would in linear, you could make volumes to stripe the smallest and linear the rest. honestly I would never use mdadm when lvm exists
zfs would make available all the space and quietly write to the remaining space on the larger mirror after striping for the smaller size.

finally found one video of someone passing a physical drive with an already present OS through QEMU/KVM, but he's using a USB(3.0) interface and passing it off as a SATA device:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzA2ToW3Lk0
would the process be identical if trying to passthrough a connected SATA drive?

>>106287545
you can pass disks through pretty easy in libvirt by using LUN passthrough
if your disk is on it's own SATA controller (usually quite a few SATA ports are on a single controller) you could pass the entire controller to the guest
USB passthrough is pretty basic with libvirt as well, probably even easier than a LUN passthrough in libvirt, and probably why some youtuber would go that route

>>106286398
>Thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy watch. I have never had a smartwatch.
For what purpose? Are you getting a smartwatch just to have a smartwatch? Or are you going to be tracking your fitness? Or do you see some general legitimate use for it? Because if you're buying it just to have it, you're going to be sorely disappointed as it's mostly useless for anything not specific to your lifestyle.

>Can I buy one of these old watches used off Amazon for like half the trade-in value and trade it in for the deal? For example, I found an Amazon Renewed™ Galaxy Watch 6 Classic for $120. Can I buy that for $120 and trade it in for $250 off the Ultra? Is it really that easy?
Probably not, but you're going to try it anyway, so I don't know why you bothered asking.

>>106287535
btrfs can also do mixed-size raid1+0's, but he seems set on having two mdadm raid1's

>>106287545

Cashback is notoriusly scammy and difficult. Samsung have deducted 50% off the value of my traded in tablet because Knox had been tripped, as if that mattered in any way for a 6 year old tablet.

>>106286398
If your screenshot it says the tradein value for a Galaxy Watch 6 is 150, not 250. So you'd mostly save $30 and you'd probably pay that in shipping anyway.

You'll probably use the monitor with other devices, don't think in terms of your current laptop.
Both 16:9 and 16:10 are fine, choose either unless you have a strong preference for an aspect ratio.

I quick formatted an external SSD (Crucial X6) to NTFS and haven't used it since. Any possibility the data might be recoverable? The internet is full of fiddly details about SSD data recovery. I don't think this drive was powered on for more than a couple minutes after formatting so I'm not sure if the TRIM could have already nuked everything. Any advice for steps to take?

>Why are 16:10 monitors so rare?
The large sheets of glass they cut apart to make TVs and computer screens are usually sized to be divided into 16:9 ratio panels since that became the dominant aspect ratio.
ThinkPads were originally 4:3, then when they went "wide" they used 16:10 because it give more usable vertical space until eventually caving and adopting 16:9. Though it sounds like they've gone back to 16:10, which is nice. Other outliers include MacBooks, which are also 16:10, and the entire Surface line is 3:2.

It'll be embedded in another cache file format. There are programs to read them though.

the board has that old double micro usb thing that goes to usb3, directly soldered into it, its not a regular sata -> adapter board to usb , pretty sure is completely fucked it wont turn on any leds or make that spin up noise, oh well hopefully it still was wiped and i did not use it to transfer pending shit. I am just so fucking mad that it just died, not even scratching noises and that crazy whirring shit you hear on dying drives, like i had 20yo laptop fall from a table during a college presentation and the thing landed so fucking hard on the floor but it kept working, it did develop bad sectors but to this day the thing powers on and works ( i created partitions on the areas of the drives without bad sectors)

Hmmm... nothing in journalctl. Today I caught it halfway frozen. Our Minecraft server froze so I looked at the computer. I could still move the mouse pointer around, which I normally can't. I tried to start Firefox and it said the launch failed due to an I/O error. Then it froze completely. I rebooted and ran SMART test again. No errors.

I hate these ghost issues. I guess I'll try putting the drive on a different SATA port, then reload the OS, then replace the PSU...

USB audio circuitry is cheaper, simpler, and less expensive than the audio circuitry and bluetooth circuitry in wireless headphones. No batteries, either.
I would suggest sticking to headphones and earphones with replaceable cables. You could also stick to USB audio adapters + wired headphones. Adapters are dirt cheap ($10-20), and then easier to replace if they break if they aren't permanently attached to your headphone.
Then there's just using a bluetooth headphone/headset. It's up to you.

Why does speccy vs hwinfo vs steam's performance overlay list different temperatures for the same components?

In some cases I know say the CPU lists different temps for different cores or other temperature metrics, so they may be reading different values due to that, but which should I be paying the most attention to then?

>>106297140
Probably better off just using a benchmark software. Each of those programs is going to use different amounts of resources which is going to cause different temps. Might as well just max out the hardware usage to get a max temp reading.

My mom retired and she needs a PC for 1080p (ideally 4k) youtube/netflix/streaming, email, video conferencing, and google sheets/docs level stuff with at least 2 but ideally 3 monitors.

I have a very important stupid question.

I have a rewritable CD. Win10 says there is 250MB of data written on it. In reality, only 55MB of actual data is on the disc.
How can I find out what's on the remaining ~200MB of used space?

The data in question are important medical scans for my relative.
There are supposed to be 6 images there. Only 2 can be found. Even with the remaining 4 images the max amount of space used should still be around 135MB.

Yes, the hospital staff are retards. Complete waste of oxygen retards.
I suspect they somehow allocated the space on the disk, but never written anything on it.

...

OK, I managed to solve it! While typing out and organizing my thoughts, I decided to run Recuva (recovery tool) on the disk.

These complete braindead utter morons don't know how to write a disc and overwrote the data in two different sessions! Luckily, the sectors weren't overwritten, but holy fuck, these fucktards are a waste of my tax money. Socialized healthcare combined with Karens are a goddamn plague deserving to be exterminated.

as a computer illiterate caveman do I understand it right that computer bugs have two primary origins; the first being simple developer error/oversight and the second being excessively hard to predict or entirely unpredictable edge cases?

>I have a rewritable CD. Win10 says there is 250MB of data written on it. In reality, only 55MB of actual data is on the disc.
probably written in multiple sessions, this is usually more of a cd-r thing since you can rewrite a cd-rw completely if you want to.
to explain a bit more, a cd-r can only be written to once, but more technically, any particular part of the disc can only be written to once, so multi-session exploits this by leaving a written session "open" such that you can later write more data on the unwritten parts of the disc later. you can't erase or overwrite data on a cd-r, so the space used keeps going up even if you "delete" files

>>106301097
All bugs are a consequence of human error, both software and hardware bugs.

that's why you have to write tests and only release it to the public then.

the most popular software projects have 100000s of tests that checks for the most basic, medium and advanced cases.

then you have the most complicated bugs that only show up when a completely unrelated sequence of commands is executed

>>106275400
For basic monopole antennae like that, higher gain (longer) means the signal area is smaller parallel to the antenna and bigger perpendicular.

Yes, single event upsets (SEU) caused by high energy cosmic rays are completely unpredictable and the reason why Carrington events could be devastating.

But 99.99999% of the time its just shitty coding by shitty coders. Humans are not perfect and the more enormous the codebase, the exponentially more difficult to keep it consistent and prevent unpredictable conflicts.

Cosmic rays, don't forget about them.

CD-RW is typically written in multi-session fashion same as CD-R. Just with RW you eventually blank the disk and start over.

Yes, you're correct.
Except the CD in question was completely rewritable and I reformatted it myself before giving it to my relative. The retarded hospital staff indeed wrote in sessions without erasing, that's why I could recover the data. Still, I find it unusual that Win10 would indicate used space this way, though it's been more than a decade since I had to use rewritable CDs like this.

The moron Karen at the desk apparently even said that there is already a bunch of data written on the disk and some stupid shit about lack of space, due to the discoloration. She was trying to be smartass, but in the end it was two computer illiterates being stupid between themselves, while missing the point entirely.

It's just infuriating they can't even do basic shit, be it computers or medical stuff, yet we are forced to go there and pay taxes for this shit. I have to be the doctor and IT guy in the family, but I get jackshit aside from endless frustration.

>>106301339
>I find it unusual that Win10 would indicate used space this way
It's the correct way because it tells the user they have shadowed data.

>"Something happened and your PIN isn’t available"

I've had this Win 11 laptop for years got this message when I tried to turn on my it on today and now I'm locked out . I have it registered as a local account and I know its MS sabotaging it so I'll have to create an online account.

There's also software A depends on a specific version of software B and A gets updated but B doesn't or vice versa.

>>106301617
Also, a bug is when software doesn't perform according to expectations or requirements. So "bugs" can also arise through cultural and generational differences in expectations and shitty communication of requirements.

I need to set up a VPN for work so one sick employee can connect and do their job from home. Pretty much everything we use is on the LAN side of the firewall. We have a windows active directory domain with smart card authentication required for most users. I'd be issuing this person a company Windows laptop joined to the domain already.
So which, in principle, is less secure:
1. Host Windows RAS VPN on a domain controller (or a new windows server) and set up firewall rules that allow the minimum amount of access for the server to work (its a Sonicwall, I can be extremely granular), or
2. Get a new computer, install Windows server on it, put it on the WAN side of the firewall, install RAS, join the NAS, a Domain Controller, and the enterprise resource planning software server to said VPN.

>>106301497
if it's for work then give it to your IT department and tell them to fix it

What's the point of PINs anyway? Why did Windows switch from passwords to PINs? All it does is lower security in general because by default it lets you only use numbers, most basic users will never check the letters checkbox.
