stay away from amazon and ebay, and you'll miss most of those counterfeit and used-as-new drives.

Selling used drives as new.
They reset the SMART data but some software like Seagate's Field Accessible Reliability Metrics (FARM) might report a higher usage (unless the scammers managed to reset that too)
Here is an article in German: https://www.heise.de/news/Gebrauchte-Seagate-Festplatten-als-Neuware-im-Umlauf-10254276.html

>How would one check if the drive their own is one of these counterfeit ones?
Short answer: you can never be 100% sure.
The problem is shops get scammed themselves and don't always know theor drives are counterfeit.
But when you buy from a reputable store and you see any physical wear (like around the screw holes) or the SMART data or other diagnostics are off you should be able to return it.

This is the push we need for Linux Phones

hi frens, are there any android phones that can run pokemon go and btd6 that are below $200? years ago i bought a samsung a20s for around $110 and it could run them perfectly, but every phone for that price now sucks :(

Need a phone for streaming demanding games. What is the bbc of smartphones at the moment? Something powerful with a fan is fine.

Yep, it seems at least from the dozen things I've tried that the built-in version of WSL in LTSC can't be updated. Neither the kernel nor WSL itself. And since the version of WSL is ancient (<1.2.5 while we're now at 2.5.10) docker desktop, podman etc don't work.

Last attempt I guess, has anyone dealt with this? It seems like my only option is to reinstall windows to a non LTSC version.

no one is born racist.
racism is life experience + pattern recognition
if you're over 20 years old and genuinely have no prejudices, you've either lived a very sheltered life or you're a bit slow.

Nothing, but booting from a USB is a lot easier than disassembling a laptop. Also doesn't leave behind any traces

Can I trust the default video player of Tails OS?

>>106516677
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

>>106514591
You shouldn't separate bootloaders, there is no advantage and no point in doing so.

>>106514443
Enter BIOS, disable USB booting, set admin password.

Pretty soon, Framework has ITX motherboards with Ryzen Ai Max chips & RAM up for preorder. Downside is that they are soldiered to the board; apparently Framework worked with AMD to try to get LPCAMM2 RAM working with it, but they ran into signalling issues.

I just want more pci express lanes in regular consumer gear. xeons and threadrippers are awesome for that but the prices are getting crazy.

>>106509462
I think it's because CPU gens got longer and that was the measuring stick for how long ram generation lasts. With no dirp-fed 5% yearly improvement RAM feels very fast to leave

2028 at the earliest and at this rate they'll still be releasing AM4 CPUs at that time

A large part of the problem is that you have to install it and edit config files to make it work properly. This might be solved if someone makes an app-ified version, sort of like what the Orbot phone app does for Tor, or integrates it into a browser so it's a simple on/off button to access it.

The other part of the problem is dumbasses like you making it out to be something just for pedos, especially right now with the growing censorship. It has a lot of potential as a way to share ideas and information that companies and governments don't want you to have, but instead you help the censors by driving people away from the tools they need.

>>106517020
Too many programs won't run on XP anymore. They gripe about missing exports in system DLLs, and you can't just put Windows 10 DLLs in the app folder because XP is missing some syscalls they use. Presumably someone could update the source to add the needed syscalls, but it would be significant work.

I got banned several times for "advertising" Hyphanet even though I only mentioned it in privacy-related threads where people were asking for help to circumvent censorship. Glowies will glow I guess.
