Is there any general way to be able to use a laptop strictly through power without it touching the battery? I know this seems something more suited to a Google search but there's so much conflicting information that I couldn't get a proper answer, sometimes apparently you could simply remove the battery and use it like that, sometimes apparently the laptop won't post without the battery.

And there's a bunch of brand specific BIOS stuff that also depends on the laptop model and it's all so confusing.

I will mainly be using my laptop intensely and I don't wanna kill the battery because of it, so in general is it bad if I constantly use it while it's plugged in? And if so what are some remedies?

It seems the worst that could happen to the laptop is a bios reset

In the event of a power outage, a desktop is also a similar risk, no?

>Are they connected or work with the main battery in some way?
No they just don't exist. You already have a battery that's always connected, you don't need a coin cell as well.

Is that good? In australia ISPs charge around 60-80 aussie dollarydoos for around 100Mbps and it doesn't really get much faster for residential connections, unless you're in some supermodern flat in the middle of melbourne or sydney with FTTP. Internet infrastructure here is 20 years behind the rest of the world.

Lmao my missus wanted some basic art for decorating the kids room but thought the 200 price tag was a bit much for what was an image of basic shapes making a kangaroo and a koala. Instead of buying it from the artist she took the thumbnail and used AI to scale it up and make it look good, and had it printed for 20 bucks.

libc handles syscall errors internally
>>
>>106529425
nta, but the ABI is not just syscalls, you don't know what you're talking about. Ever heard of dynamic linking? Ever heard of calling conventions? Ever heard of program loading? Program loading and parsing is defined by the binary format, which is compiler independent, but dynamic linking and calling conventions are absolutely coupled to the compiler, and since the first compiler used in the construction of any modern system has been the C compiler, those parts of the ABIs are defined by C. This makes it almost impossible to entirely get rid of C as a whole, unless you write an entirely new OS in an entirely different language.

If you only ever have to run on a lab PC or HPC, you can just load more cores and memory and charge it to whatever grant program the lab has. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7891784/

Also, these are biologists, they flunked out of anything higher than calculus and probably have no clue what a compiler is. What would u suggest them to use?
>>
>>106537796
It shunts them into errno and the application still has to choose how to deal with them.
>>106539291
None of those require C. Some of those conventions were established by what C compilers did but so what? It's like saying you'll never get rid of the PDP because that's what C was originally written for.
You could completely eliminate C and it wouldn't matter one jot that you continue to adhere to standards established by it.
>>
>>106533242
No, output files. Some of the stuff we run creates 200k+ files in the work directory and if you need to find the step where something broke it's easiest to just grep a known string.
Keep in mind scientists are terrible coders.
