what's a good laptop to use just for work and slaving away at coding stuff. i have an old surface pro rn and it sucks.
I'm selling my PC to a friend, he's going to put his own NVME and Windows installation. I'm keeping my drive, but is there anything I need to do on my PC beforehand, like de-linking my Windows installation from the BIOS? Or can I just remove my NVME, he puts his with the boot key and the BIOS just accepts the new drive?

If you are downloading stuff that your ISP may come at you for, use a VPN and configure qbittorrent to use the VPN's interface for torrenting.
Seems like there are additional resources on reddit but you're going to have to put some elbow grease on if you don't know what you're doing.

Razer laptops suck, they over heat and their drivers are absolute bloatware. Seriously, they make HP drivers look lite weight by comparison.
Their 2.4ghz gayming headsets are fantastic however in my personal experience.
Just get i5 with Iris xi or an Ryzen 7 with iGPU rdna 2 graphics instead. Or better yet just get a desktop.

one time a while back the charging port got a bit wet and ever since i have to keep it on at all times because if it runs out of battery it will be very hard to charge it due to the "wet charging port" warning
and another time a while back i was trying to figure out how to give a stereo an AUX port with my phone and i accidentally used the wrong cables and my phone started overheating from excess voltage until i realized it

Why the fuck can't we have an OLED TV that does full brightness at a 100% window? Most of them can do 1000nits in a small window, but if the pixels can do that brightness how come they can't do it across the whole screen at the same time? Is there a technical reason or is it just manufacturers being Jewish so they can artificially increase brightness by 50 nits each generation to keep the goyim on the upgrade treadmill?

I have this weird situation with my two switches. I have one connected to my router and the other connected to the first one. But after some time the speeds on the second one fall through the floor and a simple restart fixes it. What could be causing this? Running wireshark or whatever captures gigabites of data in a couple of minutes but i don't know what is normal. Most of it is the switches probing around it seems but at least one of them has some anti loop feature so idk.

The phone is obviously unwise to connect to a PC ever again but that doesn't mean ya can't get your files off then continue using it as a phone. I would copy filed to a USB fob plugged into the phone to prevent damage to your computer.
You can transfer files off your phone anywhere by storing them online.
You can download wifi FTP server apps (I used WiFi FTP server which is user-friendly) to quickly transfer files to another device . You can save apks using an apk extractor app. Do keep more than one backup copy of anything important.
Your phone need never be connected to anything but its charger. If like you can use your phone as a mobile FTP server. I haven't tried running scrcpy and an FTP server at the same time but if they work you could cast your phone to view and control it from your PC.
Everyone breaks stuff learning and that experience has value. Next time don't hardware mod anything you haven't already backed up. Hardware mod tests are for throwaway hardware, not anything that has important content.

Probably a broadcast storm. You may have a loop in your network, or one of the switches is misconfigured β reset both to factory settings and see what happens.

They are just daisy chained together but there are no physical loops.
>or one of the switches is misconfigured β reset both to factory settings
They are these cheap plug and play thingies. One of them has a switch for STP and the other none at all. I didn't know why the loop prevention was even enabled but now its off.
Also the amount of slowdown and how often it occurs is random. Sometimes it goes down to 10mbps but is mostly stable. Last time it went to 500mbps but dropped packets and caused issues. Hopefully with the SPT disabled there is nothing to clog up the network anymore.

You can do a whole lot when you abandon your own learned helplessness. A lot of things are actually not even that hard and fall into place when you just bother to try, so if you are someone who, like I've been, limits yourself based on pre-conceived notions and allows the seeming dautingness of a task to stop you from doing it, stop. Just continue forth and if it interests you then you have all you need to do it. If you are like me, then you've stopped yourself from doing things that actually aren't even HARD, just unfamiliar.

Correct, with one addition: watching content is not required βmerely recording a TV broadcast falls under the TV license.
Whether that broadcast is over the air or the internet is immaterial, as is the originating country.
So if you watch a TV channel from Botswana on some IPTV website on your tablet you still need a TV license, despite not doing so on a TV and it having nothing to do with bri'ish television.

Have you declined age verification that was asked of you? That may be it.
My personal account seems to have never needed age verification, at least yet, but when I use tor pages to view youtube I can get maybe 5 videos in until I'm told a video is unavailable until I dox myself. When that happens I just establish a new tor connection for the site until it doesn't ask, takes around 1-4 reconnects.
Google itself hates me using tor and constantly blocks me from regular searches, my tor technique doesn't really work for them.

Could someone please explain this? I want to set up a dual-boot with Linux and Windows on the same drive, but with two separate ESPs for the bootloaders. I tried it in a VirtualBox VM; GRUB detected Windows just fine and everything worked, but Iβm not sure how it will behave on real hardware. Is it okay to have two ESPs on one disk without problems? I know that when configuring a dual-boot, the bootloaders are usually installed in a single ESP, but Iβve heard this can overwrite the Linux bootloader during Windows updates or cause other problems. Having a separate ESP would also make it easier to remove one of the OS later.

The ESP is one per computer. Not one per disk, not one per OS.
Every OS places EFI executables on the ESP, and the EFI firmware executes one or more of those during boot.

Does anyone have a video player recommendation for android that lets me play videos with the screen turned off and also remembers the timestamp where I've last watched the video (For audiobooks ripped from YouTube)
Is there a way to prevent people from being able to simply stick a USB in my laptop and boot it to view all my files, that doesn't include having to encrypt my SSDs?

Not really.
You're right, it is recommended to have separate ESPs when dual booting, but that's only if you have multiple drives.
And contrary to what that anon is saying, having 2 ESPs on 2 separate disks is completely fine.

Other bits of advice I can offer:
Get off Windows. Majority of malware is manufactured for Windows, moving to Linux reduces your attack surface to virtually nothing.
Use UBlock Origin and browse PirateBay, comfy.
Git gud and don't click anything retarded. Remember, all you want is that juicy gud gud magnet link baby.
Lastly, if you just want to watch anime, see into ani-cli. Boom, everything's suddenly at your fingertips you delicious femboy you.
https://github.com/pystardust/ani-cli
Last bit of choice advice. Do your torrenting from mcdonalds, that way you don't have to buy a vpn in the first place.
Cheers.

I want to create my own manga series that looks drawn using a mix of posing already made 3d models and newly generated stuff. I can do the typesetting myself, so I just need the art to make the panels myself. I can't draw for shit, and I can't 3d model from scratch for shit, but I can jury-rig assets to create models pretty well, so I can provide tons of needed character reference material and can do poses and such to help the AI make a sensible image. Estimated problems would be backgrounds and such, but I might be able to figure that out later. What should I be looking into? I used to run a local version of stable diffusion like a year ago and dipped my toes mostly unsuccessfully into LORAs. I ran into a lot of problems of consistence across images, especially where things like shirt patters, consistent crystal geometry and other such things were concerned. Any advice? Should I ask a different thread?

If you trust Tails OS enough to use it, you should trust the default programs it comes with.
Besides that Tails is amnesic, there shouldn't be anything privacy-wise on the OS for it to even get into. It would be bad op-sec for you to spread your sensitive information to more devices

not sure what you mean by bootloader, you can have any number of bootloaders.
But getting back to the efi spec, it's certainly possible and even reasonable to have two disks with efi system partitions so that windows can have its own on its disk. Yes, you aren't supposed to do that because big bad efi brother said only one per system... but you can still do it and I would recommend it if you want to avoid mucking with windows boot since there's a good chance it will fuck with your one and only efi system partition on updates.

Somebody please guide me into how I can maintain a reliable multi-device ebook library that works offline and actually syncs books' progress.
I read on my Kindle, phone and computer. I've managed to put together something that syncs the books themselves across devices using Syncthing, Calibre and EPUB reading programs for the respective devices, but I can't get book progress to actually sync across devices and it's annoying.
I know Calibre lets you host a web server, but it still doesn't sync progress to Kindle (afaik) and it still doesn't count as an offline solution.
I have looked up but I haven't found much. This can't be that niche of a problem. Anyone autistic enough to have figured this out?

My 60 year old dad asked, just out of his curiosity, what's the difference between 60 dollar chink tablet and a 1000 dollar Ipad. The conversation went something like this:
>Well you see dad, one has weak processor and other is powerful, meaning one is slow in operation, and other is quicker.
>But in the end they both can do the same things right? Both can launch the internet browser, play Youtube, and run Telegram?
>.... well yeah, I guess.
This kinda caught me. I mean unless we're talking about specific things, that average boomer coonsumer probably doesn't care about, like system security and updates, screen tech and resolution, audio speakers, battery, case material, and even eco-systems like Android (and many of it's firmware OSes) and I(pad)OS, they're both the same device for them, just one a bit slower and one a bit quicker.

Let him browse the web for a bit on a cheap tablet (even a $200 one) and he'll understand immediately.
People notice immediately when every change on screen takes seconds compared to another device where things happen instantly.
Also, sound and screen quality are objective differences between any two tablets.
Granted, many people hate themselves to such an extent that they pretend everything is the same no matter the device. You won't be able to reason with such people because they have already convinced themselves that everything sucks and it sucks equally.

Hi, I'm a tourist from the other boards looking for some advice of a purchase, I checked your other generals and I don't think it this question fits there, so here goes.
I am a pervert that has come to enjoy having his hentai late at night on the bed, and while that includes the usual reading manga and doujins, I would also like to play nukiges. so I'm looking for a tablet PC that I could use on bed. I have one of those convertible 14 inch laptops that you can flip all the way back, but that's too big and unwieldy to use late at night laying in bed, Ideally I would like to find something like an ipad, but that runs windows. I know some people tried that back in the day, I remember the HP tablet disaster, but now all I find are ipads and galaxy tablets. and while some hentai games and nukiges have android versions, I would like the flexibility of being able to install everything and anything I want instead of being cucked by that one game company that doesn't release APKs. is there something like that out there that you could recommend me to get?
I know nukiges and visual novels are not that graphic intensive, but the time I tried them on Android they were really overheating my smartphone, so something with a nice processor and decent cooling would be nice as well. I don't want to spend millions of dollars either, which is why I haven't looked at Microsoft Go tablets since those are more expensive than a fully-fledged laptop. Is there something like that out there? Or should I just give up and pony up like $500+ dollars for a Go tablet with shit options unless I buy the expensive packages?

Well, there's Winlator, a windows emulator on Android. Though of course the game compatibility and stability is a question. Plus it's gonna be even more intensive on the system than direct ports.
I don't think there are any good cheap Tablet PC options, in fact they are kind of a dying breed as whole. But what IS becoming quite popular in the recent years are PC gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and others. You can play other video games on it too. Though they have pretty small screens. And expensive.

For what purpose? Will you offer that file for download, or...?
There are options, the one I'm familiar with is using wget to dump a website locally, then zip the resulting file hierarchy.
There may be better ways but you'll need to describe your goal in more detail and hopefully someone can advise.

Nope, I don't use social media, period. Well, Twitter and only for japanese art, but I hadn't opened my Twitter tabs.

Get minerBlock if you're really worried. It's beyond rare for what you're talking about to happen though.
>Firefox did something, there were several instances showing in Task Manager
There always is depending on how many tabs you're using. They've done it for years. It gets spread out rather than just one instance running because it uses less resources.

Browsers seem to run many processes these days. Check your extensions aren't trash. I haven't run firefox in a while, it seems to evolve pretty fast. Wouldn't surprise me if they introduced some new broken bullshit that breaks on specific hardware. It used to hard reset my computer when playing youtube videos. Probably hardware acceleration issues.

I love it. I mean there is some chance you could have a cpu with efficiency cores and power cores, have it run one watch thread for reduced power consumption. That classic watch thing was probably more about data entry and transfer.

Yeah, it's just weird. I have many Firefox tabs, but not all of them are open and currently my Task Manager looks like this, but when it happened, there were several lines of just Firefox, with my RAM showing around 40% usage, and even if the CPU was at like 15% iirc, there should be no reason at all to go that high on temps.
>>106525544
The only extensions that I have are ublock, Sponsorblock and SteamDB, nothing out of the ordinary.
>Probably hardware acceleration issues.
It's disabled, I never turn it on because it always causes issues.

For future reference, you can double click on any column and activate the command line column. And if you press the arrow you can expand the multi-process process. There might be some useful info, though not always. Just don't accidentally dox yourself when sharing pics.

Reinstalling is sometimes easier said than done, especially when things need to work by some fixed deadline.
I once spent many hours trying to find out the simplest thing: which Windows version was installed on a Surface laptop from the factory. It needed to be returned to my employer and I had formatted the disk first thing when I got that laptop a few years back. The only way to do it was by downloading a special recovery image from Microsoft and following a stupid process that again took hours.

no, this is true about updates. it's not true about reinstalls.
reinstalling is exactly the same task every single time, because you are starting from scratch. wipe the drives, install windows. done. took me literally 7 minutes last time. add another 7 for installing applications.

Downloading Windows takes longer than 7 minutes.
That's not to say that you didn't, I'm merely pointing out that not everyone has a superfast USB stick with Windows on it sitting right next to their computer, with the right version and localisation of said OS, and all their drivers and applications neatly organised into an INSTALL folder along with an unattended installation script, which among many other things makes MS Office install in 3 minutes.
On second thought... I call bullshit on that.

Maybe not really /g/ related.
You ever heard news of that some person was imprisoned for many years, then one day it turns out that they were wrongfully arrested, so they get released and get a HUGE money compensation, like millions of dollars.
Isn't that dangerous? Like you are publically announcing for all the relatives, acquaintances, neighbors of that person, that this one guy has life changing amount of money, and since he's recently out of prison, he has nothing to protect himself or the money with. Does he get a temporary bodyguard?

What are some of the best uses for an old PC thatβs just sitting there collecting dust?
Built around 2015 so the parts would struggle in todayβs standards
-i5-6600k
-GTX 980
Iβve tried selling the individual parts even at a very low price but 0 people are interested

I think the money received as compensation is supposed to cover this.
>>106526887
Perhaps donate it?
Making it a server would only make sense if you really need a server and can't afford a more performant/silent/compact/efficient machine.

I thought I would try using external storage on an MR8300 router, but when I visit the relevant tab, there is a long delay, then an error saying something about it not being in master mode. Apparently I have to...set it up or something? Also, the light on the router itself is a solid purple.
Is there a way around this that doesn't involve factory resetting or downloading the Linksys app?
Is there any way to tap into someoneβs location remotely if you know their phone number? My dad is threatening to kill himself and I donβt know where he is.

Law enforcement can but that's usually after they subpoena the info from the mobile service provider. maybe the suicide hotline has some resources they can use you should call them

Try the hardball approach ("do it, faggot!").
