What's the best way to run a Linux VM on Windows 11?

Quick question: does Windows 11 still wake all disks ~3 times an hour like 10 does? Or did they fix it?

t. wanna use Windows Storage Spaces as my NAS. It fits every single one of my requirements, it's the perfect fit for what I want...except for the waking drives problem. That is just gonna wear out the HDDs prematurely.

>>107837285
I think every time you access the file explorer it'll wake the disks if they're connected. Either disconnect them or try to find a solution bcs I think that's the default behavior still. I used W11 only for a bit during 23H2 so it might've changed in 24H2 or 25H2 but I doubt it.

>>107836415
I've always just used Virtualbox and it's worked fine. There's even guest addition packages in Arch that you install and enable its service and it feels like a real PC in the VM.

>>107836415
Hyper-V works fine

>>107836628
You could also reset an android device to factory settings and use that to create a clean google account (yes, it's an oxymororn, I know, I know...)
Not sure if it still works, used to work in 2018
Vest of luck

Im confused why anyone thinks proton mail or gmail or any email could be secure?
Email is not a secure protocol.
Never use it for things you need private. Even if your email goes to a blackhole, the sender still has it.

>>107821575
when a corporation says a word privacy they do not mean themselves.

>>107838116
this is something john mcafee said a lot. he wasnt stupid enough to use email for private shit so he used gmail since they at least would notify him when governments requested access to it

it's because youtube is intentionally limiting the bitrate and increasing their lossy compression, even with "better" algorithms like av1 and h265. you can use an extension to force h264 but you're still going to be served up a reduced bitrate.

720p still can look amazing, you just won't get served good looking 720p from most streaming sites.

>>107831098
youtube re-encoded all their videos to save space around the same time that google cleared our old accounts and shit on gmail and other services (they own youtube and also cleaned out a lot of abandoned YT accounts). the bitrate on lower resolution videos now is LESS than it was when they were initially uploaded and served.

who gives a fuck? its literally the same shit at this point anyway without the wires. if you want something to actually listen to just sit at home and actually get proper headphones dac/amp or a set of speakers

There is almost no reason to root nowadays. It has more disadvantages than advantages unless you do some specific thing on the phone. Most of the things you needed root for is no longer needed to root for.

Looking for 'value' chinkphone with at least 12/512, is F7 Pro my best choice?

Is this a good place to ask about tablets?
Are they effected by the ram shortage and shit?
Want something to draw on and play retroarch and read (and doomscroll in bed less myopically) is this a good deal?

what part of "for this" did you not understand?

>>107838345
And what if I don't have one of those either, and I don't want to wait a day for one to show up from Amazon?

Is it really *that* bad to focus on what I can do right now? Is it really shitting up the internet that much for you, as if you aren't worse!?

>>107838362
The part of it that I did understand is you just want to troll right now instead of entertaining the way I want to do something, because your attention span is *that* short...

i ran into a bot on pol that responded with long pro-russian paragraphs of texts in under a minute, so they already have captcha solvers.

>4chan isn't even the biggest imageboard in the world anymore, 2chan.net is
How the fuck is this possible? I know some normies who know about 4chan like the le ebin hackers and edgy people but no one knows about 2chan since only japenese users are on it. 4chan is a worldwide website, what happened?

Don't forget Sony, they have an e-ink tablet specifically for like doing paperwork and note taking and reading PDFs. Would have been super useful in grad school, but they were (probably still are) overpriced.

>>107826750
I really like my remarkable 2. My fiance got it for me when I was in grad school and it saved me from lugging around a million textbooks. Also, because it doesn't have a web browser or search feature I was allowed to use it for open note tests, which saved me lots of time and money from printing out slide decks.

Had. Their branch was taken over by Fujitsu. Still very limited and hard to get outside of Japan.
The current Quaderno A4 Gen 3 costs 80,000 yen but it's still limited to 207ppi.

just get a smart pen

>Surely a reflective LCD still needs a constant supply of power supplied to it?
They do, but power usage has never been the main selling point of e-ink devices, it's always been the paper like qualities. And RLCD displays are not going to be using as much power on backlighting/frontlighting as the typical backlit LCD's are.
>>107831648
>Why do RLCD have such low resolutions compared to coventional backlit LCD?
Unless there is a technical detail causing this that I'm not aware of, this is merely about RLCD being a niche product.
>What remains to be seen is how much color-particle based e-ink can be improved.
I don't have much hope regarding color e-ink, to be honest. There is no indication that e-ink will ever be capable of magazine level color reproduction.

I'm on one right now. Mostly love mine. Just wish I could cram a real GPU into it so I could do some AI image generation.

Also, twice now I've had monitor output ports burn out, no idea why. The main HDMI port fried when I ran out of memory (too many Firefox tabs open) and the CPU started thrashing with page swapping. Then one of the USB-C-DP ports fried from the same thing. I've got one last USB-C-DP and if that fries I'll have to try to use the DVI port, which apparently is replaceable if I go to Taiwan and beg ASUS to swap the daughterboard for it.

A few months ago I was looking for a cheap NVME heatsink and these ones with the rubber bands came on the search and they didn't gave me enough confidence to buy them bc the rubber bands will break with the heath/cold cicles in the future.
How are they working for you? Will you recommend them?

I have an Ncase M1 and it's good
hardware is no longer my passion however so if I had to build a computer today, I'd probably go microATX or ATX instead to get away with minimal planning. the people who do ITX builds in so-called sandwich cases that rely on riser cables are crazy to me

The described process creates an isolated, debloated system by stripping security features and update mechanisms. This results in a fragile, insecure configuration vulnerable to exploits, requiring high manual maintenance and offering no real-world advantage over a properly managed installation.

Doesn't disabling updates kind of ruin the point of using LTSC? If you just want to get rid of the UWP apps that's a one-liner post-install. And some software will refuse to run on LTSC so don't use it unless you're gonna use it. My whole apartment building is one LAN so I'm not going to run unpatched code lol

That's always a risk when I ask it questions during learning. It seems pretty reliable so far but that's at the back of my mind

Gemini has been a blessing in my life, I feel like kissing every Google employee on the cheek, despite the Mossad data mining spyware, it's a fantastic tool that has helped me learn a ton of invaluable info thay I feel like would take insanely far too long to learn otherwise, it's definitely limited, sometimes crap, repeats itself but all-in-all, "good for most and for the most-part", it's not a one-size-fits -all solution for every problem but for the average person? A blessing.

If AI gets you to start learning something you put off, even if it hallucenates and fills your head with horseshit, that's preferable to you wasting your fucking life doing jack shit every day. At least (hopefully) people will correct you or you can figure out what you screwed up down the line. At least you took a fucking shot at something.

Fucking losers in this thread trying to discourage people from using AI to learn shit are absolutely retarded.

>>107832983
>I went to 2 universities and they were a joke
This, but unironically, actually, on god.

Fuck you, you lukewarm NPC normie bitch. The other anon is right, school, especially "higher education" is a fucking complete waste of time. You're way better off learning shit on your own. You only go to college because it's a fucking mechanical system required to get a fucking paper that some employer might give a rats ass about. You don't go to college to fucking learn anything. That's some stupid naive bullshit idiots like you believe.

and the fucking solve function saved so much time during test, avoiding to isolate the variable of equations on limited time ... the only thing i regret its not learning more of the advanced functions
i just never felt i needed more
