has there been any cases regarding the SSD breaking update while installing repacks?

Im probably thinking of something completely different, but i have a bunch of those Amazon flash drives 256GBs and suddenly none of them worked anymore. I have redundant backups so I didnt technically lose anything but I could have. And it was very odd how they all suddenly were unrecoverable at the same time despite buying them at different times.

I can't say that I've had any SSD issues, but FitGirl repacks do put a strain on your hardware, whatever they're doing. I haven't looked into the details, but it felt that the CPU was struggling far more than with any regular installer. Honestly, if you've got a good Internet connection, you should probably avoid them altogether if you've got other options.

it didnt flop
it was actually a superior product
but microsoft decided not to continue betting on the product as they lacked the will to implement a proper app store
>>
>>106650218
Microsoft should have went all-out on paying developers to make WP versions of their apps. Give app payments on the Windows Phone Store a lower commission fee compared to Apple's 30% to attract more developers.
>>
>>106650224
This is by far the most commonly parroted answer, but it is almost completely wrong or at least misses the real answer by so far as to be misleading.
>>106650218
Real answer?
Reason #1.
Because Apple and Samsung already had massive deals with all the phone carriers for optimal placement in every single store and kiosk across the country.
The sales reps pushed iPhone and Samsung Galaxy because they got higher commission per sale.
This led to windows phone having miniscule market penetration, giving low incentive to develop apps.
Reason #2.
Microsoft completely changed the app framework between WP v7.0 => v7.5
Then they changed it again for 7.8
Then again for 8.0
Then again for 10.0
This meant that devs were forced to constantly learn new tooling, leading to fewer apps.
Reason #3.

no, it won't affect it significantly. the reverb is probably more the fault of the two other walls and the floor. if you get a big thick rug and some large canvas paintings/frames to cut and put rock wool inside, you can fix the reverb problem basically invisibly.

>>106617845
2700K for mood lighting you intend to have on at night or in the evening, 4000K for primary lighting when you actually need a room to be fully and brightly lit.
>>
>>106618826
over 9000K

4000K for overhead lights and 2700K for lamps. Use the lamps for regular ambient lighting usage and use the overhead for when you need better visibility.

both 2700k and 4000k on (separate switches) for kitchen, office/workshop, bathroom

Why doesn't Microsoft create a cell phone model? What could go wrong?
3 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>106650567
It had this great feature, when you would drop it, the backing for the battery would pop off and the battery would eject itself. It was like some built in security measure, a drop activated self-locking measure. iPhone needs to come up with better self locking solutions.

Why would I even lie about that? It literally would happen all the time. The phone itself keep working surprisingly. I loved the way it looked too. But yes, it would slip out of my hands and even at waist level, the back case and battery would eject flying across the room. I miss not giving a shit about having a phone on me and just memorizing some numbers.

maybe they could buy a leading cell phone manufacturer. that way they could get a jump start into the market and totally not destroy whatever company they buy.

How to install NVIDIA drivers according to the Debian wiki:
>yeah just fucking do this and read pages of stupid bullshit, then paste this, then paste this, then paste this, then paste this, then this etc
The actual solution:
>Paste this and you're done:
>sudo sed -i 's/main.*$/main contrib non-free non-free-firmware/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources && sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64 nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree

Why isn't the actual solution, one terminal prompt, at the top of the page? This shit is so fucking easy; the documentation is just ass.

Yea, that was one of the main goals I had with designing the thumb cluster. The thumb only has to move one position left or right from neutral to reach all the keys. That and it should have the same 6 keys as the manuform thumb. Kinda crude visualization but here's the keycaps of the manuform thumb cluster overlaid on top of my thumb cluster.

Why did Universal Windows Platform (UWP) fail?
>>
it didn’t, many applications use the UWP framework via a traditional installer.
>>
>>106650518
Microsoft gave up on Windows Phone and it was all downhill from there.
>>
>>106650518
Microsoft half-assed it, like they do with every UI platform they release. They are fine for demos but once you try to create production software with any Microsoft UI framework (other than Winforms), it quickly turns to shit.
Microsoft's response to this is to create yet another UI platform instead of investing resources into making any of the existing platforms workable.

Remember to clear camera lens condensation. Put it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Don't do any more than that. It is rated to 30 seconds, so you got a margin of error.

quality, well researched, and well produced videos where genuine effort is put into making sure the video is both entertaining and informative. It's not just a video, it's a movement, a statement, and builds a community around it. Your youtube seeks to improve the lives of it's users, and the world at large and pays a living wage to all of the people that make it happen with full health, dental, and paid vacations and maternity leave. If we are to reinstate the Nazi party we cannot slouch and must make a quality youtube worthy of it.
