In the past years I have come to start swapping out tech for that which can be used fully offline. Now connected more deliberately, such as to interact with bills, services, gov etc.

If I can't use a computer or software without activating it...it isn't real. Same goes for any multimedia stuff. As such, I've been enjoying cd games, carts, dvds, zines and the like.

The phone remains connected at all times, but it is really only used for comms and again apps for bills, services etc.

No regrets.

What is this and why do I see this type of content spammed sometimes in algorithms etc.
>>
>>106493612
Some stuff from an AI that fits the general description of what happens here

The Song Choices: Literal vs. Abstract/Thematic

Algorithmic Choices: An algorithm might include songs with direct keywords in the title ("Cannibal," "Bite," "Devour," "Hungry") or by artists who are popular within the fetish community for unrelated reasons. It can be a blunt instrument.

Human Curated Choices: A human's choices will have nuance, inside jokes, and thematic depth. Look for:

Deep Cuts: Obscure songs from obscure artists that perfectly fit the theme, which an algorithm would never surface.

Lyrical Themes: Songs where the lyrics are thematically relevant to control, consumption, or oral fixation, even if the title isn't literal.

Audio Samples: Songs that include sounds of biting, chewing, or other relevant Foley work.

Yes, they reworked the whole ui so it runs in browsers. I hate it because figures are migrating to the newshit and old ui elements are going away. But you get 20 hours a month of free matlab in the cloud, which is actually useful and works really well in browsers.

Why windows 10 iot ltsc is the greatest os and I will use it till the end of times instead of Linux:
1. Fractional scaling works excellent. (In Linux only X 200 scaling worked fine).
2. All software runs natively without needing any tinkering. (Easy installation too).
3. I can run all the Linux console programs-scripts I used with WSL. (I use wget often to download websites).
4. Shamba shares work flawlessly. (Couldn't make it work on Linux at all).
5. No memmory leaks. (apps would leak memmory on linux and had to be restarted after some time).
6. Never breaks
>*nerd talking* "but... but... anon you know that after 2032 you won't have any security updates and you would have to install windows 11 or linux again"
You are so wrong you stupid low testostero fe-male. After 2032 starts the real fun when I would finaly withdraw completely from any online activity and I would be offline consoooooming all the videos, books, pdfs, music and movies I would have downloaded all these years in my perfectly working windows 10 iot ltsc machine.

>Anyone know of a good way to log hardware events?
Hardware events are generally logged by Kernel-PnP and UserPnp logs/sources, so you might want to create a custom view. Not sure about USB-oriented logs/sources though, but with windows having gorillion event sources and logs of various types, feel free to take a gander at in spare time
Otherwise check the "Administrative Events" built-in custom view, plus the Summary section when you start Event Viewer
Additionally open up Device Manager, choose the "Devices by Connection" view and show hidden devices. Fully expand the USB nodes (controller/hub/device). If you're observant, you will notice that certain USB device constantly (dis)appearing

If I have to bet, it's probably some USB device's cable or transmitter malfunctioning, as it's constantly disconnecting rather than just showing "USB device connection failed". Hope the USB ports aren't faulty

It's an SSD-specific issue, so don't worry about the HDD. As long as your SSD doesn't have a cheap-ass Phison controller (or a rebrand thereof), especially DRAM-less, you should be fine

I did a small research (pics included) and I've noticed there's something strange happening with recent WD hard drives.

For instance let's take a look at this 4TB WD Purple (WD43PURZ), the datasheet says it's CMR but if you look at the graph it behaves like SMR and TRIM is supported.
https://files.catbox.moe/xdudsc.jpg

Same applies to 4TB WD Blue/Red Plus models, all these have 256MB cache and 181 buffer zones (like WD Red EFAX) instead of typical 61 like normal CMR WD drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/htn2k3.jpg

Look at these 4TB drives - they all look like this SMR WD Red EFAX drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/cz46vl.jpg

And 6TB WD drives are also identical to this EFAX drive.
https://files.catbox.moe/nd55ho.jpg

So WD is lying again like they did when they released their first SMR Red. Avoid all 4-6TB models, unless it's enterprise class (Gold, Black, Ultrastar).

>>106490500

I already did. But here are two links for you personally.

He explains in russian but the english subtitles should let you understand at least 70% due to russian phraseologisms,pronounciations and dialects that cannot be translated normally.

1. How does a SMR fragment its files during reading just like a SSD and becomes even slower.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67arwgtTyxA

2. Here he explains that a SMR behaves exactly like a SMR (works faster after refreshing).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZSZ8I5pg3U

So in short - SMR is shit that everyone should avoid.

I found this craptop in an eviction clear out last year. It had windows 10 installed & couldn't get out of its own way. I know fuck-all aboot computers, software & programming. Chan reccomended XFCE. I Watched a few videos and made it happen. Definitely learning curve, but I like it.

5 months ago, the battery failed & bloated.

By the Chaos Of Kek, I found one *for free* on Amazon Vine. ordered & installed... it would not charge. Kek provides: there was an option to return & replace the already *FREE* battery. 2nd battery arrived yesterday. I installed it, assuming it also would be junk. it works perfectly!

My craptop lives on.

what is a proper offering in thanks?

In the same eviction unit, I also acquired a Samsung tablet which I now use as a remote for one of TWO Samsung televisions that were also left behind. the smaller 24" *Non-Smart* one had a shite remote that eventually quit altogether. since we don't have cable, I dug up a 13 year old Chromecast that a former customer gave us when he moved away. now it is a fully functional multi-platform streaming TV mounted on a swivel (also from the eviction house) on our bedroom wall. we never use it, but once or twice a year, we'll watch a movie in bed.

the other TV from that unit is unreal. they abandoned a 75" Samsung smart TV. it is now our Great Room television.

best score in 20 years of property management.
