>>107691507>what exactly does the 'optimize drives/disks'just leave it be unless you have spinning rust you need to defragthere are very few reasons for screwing around with TRIM (garbage collection) in windows for mortal /users/one simple example of why you might want to disable TRIM is if you're realtime recording a stream of time-domain sensitive data, e.g. the image output of an X-ray flouroscope aimed at a human heart while you thread a stent into it because maybe you don't want to have any.fukken.thing.go.wrong with that datastream at that moment.you can change Windows trim behavior with "fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify NTFS" and then 0 to disable or 1 to enable>modern SSDs perform TRIM on their ownyep, the drive should TRIM itself *when its not busy or needs to*, if not it's shit firmware, but it's better for the OS to tell it to TRIM on schedule because the drive firmware may wait a long time to TRIM and thus the firmware TRIM operation will steal some IOPS for longer as there are more garbage blocks to collect.>or something like that IDK
>>107681309im relegating my old laptop to retro games and i want to put windows 7 on it, its a hp 15 with a ryzen 3250u, how is driver support and where can i get the drivers?
>>107691993Thanks for explaining.>just leave it be unless you have spinning rust you need to defragYou mean if I need to do it manually? I actually still run a 1TB spinning rust drive to store a few shows. It's usually left half full at most since I migrate and back up any that I enjoyed to externals.
>>107692012Best you can get is using SDIO and hoping it finds drivers for you.Make sure to use something like Windows 7 Updated v5 to have built in NVMe and USB3 drivers.
>>107692228>if I need to do it manuallyyes but it's safe to just schedule it and forget about it unless you have some specific need to defragall of this automated disk maintenance is pretty old hat for windows and seems to be one of the things they didn't fuck up with W11

The Intel Managment Engine, even when neutralized by ME Cleaner, will still activate the Wake on Lan module, you can verifiy this or the e1000e.You can still "disable" it with ethtool, but to whether or not it actually is disabled I do not knowI debugged the ME and it does NOT respond to ME Version Queries, running intelmetool shows that it is in Factory Mode, it reports its state as being Initalizing, and the phase it reports is BUP where it halts.I believe the factory state might be exposing a debug mode, even when the HAP Bit is set.I have both the Intel ME Soft Temporary Disable patch and HAP bit is set to 1. Anyone have any ideas about this? Run ethtool on your network interface and see if WoL status is reported, especially if you have an e1000 or e1000e NICJust wanted to share

Can keys on an optical keyboard randomly fail like on a mechanical keyboard? If so is the lifespan longer or shorter generally speaking?
>>107692252I imagine if you keep both clean, they'll last quite a long time. Wash your hands, and keep a HEPA filter in your work-space.
>>107692252the emitter part likely wouldn't fail as soon as its counterpart but watch out for the wear on the keys themselves which still have some mechanical parts

Hey /g/, maybe you can help me here. What's the best gloves to prevent gamer gunk buildup? I recently changed from a 8 year old G610 keyboard to a G915 X keyboard simply due to it being easier to clean,as well as the G610 keycaps kept breaking, but mice? I don't trust myself disassembling them without breaking something. I've tried copper compression gloves but I absolutely hate the feeling of them when worn.>wash your handsI do. Maybe too much. I wash them any time I touch something slightly filthy, any time before I eat, any time I use the bathroom.
