maybe that’s a windows thing

I tried to seed the torrents but I never found anything that needed seeds, most users download via browser

But at the same time they paid reddit millions to train on “authoritative” posts like that one from “fuckSmith” that suggested to add glue to pizza

It depends how they make them. Some plant based burgers are just made with scraps from soy milk production, look like expired meat and taste like polystyrene or worse while the impossible burger it’s difficult to distinguish with a blind test: the flavor, the texture and the appearance are extremely similar. They even have the fake blood in the middle

Requiring the installation of analog AM radios in automobiles is an unnecessary action that would impact EV range, efficiency and affordability (says the lobbyist)

Oh no the vehicle when driving at speed now uses 10001 watts with radio on instead of 10000 watts. Efficiency and range is ruined.

Also the $60k luxury vehicle is now unaffordable when a $1 am receiver is added in the infotainment

But they promised that they won’t use the data for it 😜

They paid millions for it just for charity

i installed macos on an external usb drive (surprised it let me do that), then booting from that i installed ddrescue via homebrew, then i was able to copy the files to the exfat partition

wasted a whole weekend for that…

Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can’t run anything. Everything that you download doesn’t run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can’t access any website that’s using let’s encrypt which is a big chunk.

And it’s like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

An additional problem is that the Mac is stuck to MacOS 10.7, so even if it boots again, I can’t install anything because “this operating system is not supported”. I would need to find some decade old recovery program somehow. Or find another Mac and some USB enclosure

I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory

hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying…

fucking fast boot, lost my data because it’s assuming hard drives don’t change when pc is turn off

it looks like fast boot in order to save me 10 seconds on boot restored the FAT state from before the copy

i booted on another operating system and i see all the files, but the contents are all wrong, looks like everything is gone…

if you can find an identical phone you can try to enable adb blindly by touching the areas on the screen, then use scrcpy

but in that case maybe just easier to enable mtp via usb

when it happened on my pc two decades ago it was faulty VRAM. It’s because when it’s loading doesn’t use GPU. Need to replace the video card that means send the laptop to the e-waste.

edit: it’s m1 mac so there’s no vram, right? So it’s faulty GPU which means faulty SOC = completely wasted?

The CPU speed and ram size is irrelevant in this case, it’s slow because it needs to load ads and sponsored results from internet first

How can they know that the user has a 27" or bigger screen?

Screens report the size via HDMI and not only the name/resolution?

enshittification happened to scribd, not bugmenot

scribd used to offer free hosting for all pdf files, then when they hit critical user mass, they decided that only paid users can download the (mostly pirated) PDF files. Literally profiting from piracy while pretending it’s designed for business.

The hint worked! It mentioned to enable csm, but for windows 11 is useless as it doesn’t support booting in legacy mode. But it was loading a loader from Rufus before Windows, so I tried to check if it was interfering with that. I checked secure boot. It was enabled but with custom keys by default. Why the F would they create a default with invalid secure boot keys??

Once restored to Microsoft keys, the USB booted without showing the Rufus UEFI loader and the setup recognized the drive.

From the bios I can see everything about the drives I tested, serial number, activate hardware encryption and so on, so at least the connector isn’t broken.

It was a purchase on a whim, i wouldn’t buy it again. The CPU is permanently soldered on it, if the mobo stops working I lose both components

Lesson learned, from now on I will always buy reputable brands. If there’s a bug in this bios build nobody would ever fix it. Or if it was fixed, good luck finding the right file for an unbranded unlabeled product…

Then I remember that I bought a MSI b650 that doesn’t play nice with a MSI GPU since the November bios update…

Both

And not even enough. As a society we’re condoning too much when it’s about cars.

Going 100 in a 30 should be charged as “attempted massacre” if stopped. Because it’s not an “accident” anymore when you go that fast.

And driving that fast in a residential area without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, should be an aggravating circumstance and not the opposite.
