From old thread:

How can I upgrade the BIOS of a Lenovo G505s with a dead battery?

I downloaded the BIOS upgrade software called winflash(3.00).exe and when I run it, the screen freezes. So, I extracted the file and found a platform.ini file which I edited to have BatteryCheck=0. Then, in the extracted files, there is InsydeFlash.exe.

When I run this, still my laptop freezes. I think this is because InsydeFlash.exe doesn't look at the modified platform.ini file. What should I do? Pic rel are the files extracted from winflash(3.00).exe

My ultimate goal is to follow this: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking

Updates:
> I tried this on windows 8
> Can't update the BIOS in DOS as there is code in the BIOS updater preventing that
> One solution is to try to run winflash(3.00).exe and go to your temp folder and edit platform.ini to remove the BatteryCheck there however, I cannot do anything once I run winflash(3.00).exe since my laptop freezes

Anyone know how to edit a .exe and then recompile it? Or any other solutions other than replace the battery?

Thanks in advance!
>>
>>101524687
The main purpose of updating the BIOS is that it easily updates the UEFI without needing to perform a hardware flash, which I do not have the tools to do. The easiest way to do this is with the software downloaded from Lenovo
>>
>>101524687

perhaps make another attempt with actual bios file in same folder with winflash
>>
>>101524959
I tried. I extracted winflash(3.00).exe and all the contents are in a folder. After changing the platform.ini so that BatteryCheck=0, I ran InsydeFlash.exe which is what winflas(3.00).exe runs. Still got a frozen laptop.

Even tried running the program in the command prompt as an administrator with various flags like /forceit, -forceit, /sp, and even tried -sp.... nothing seems to work.

I ordered a battery and luckily I can get it tomorrow but just in case that battery is bad, I am still trying to fix this

I probably haven't explained that very well but does anyone know why this is? The 20 byte files should be way larger, somewhere around the 250MB-1GB range.
They weren't formatted with some l337 h4xx0r software. It was just a run of the mill Windows format.

Time machine, or maybe there's another program you can use from a Linux bootable disk. Installing recovery software or downloading files is just going to further overwrite. Are you even using a HDD, or are you using a SSD?

Remote worker here, planning on how to do this so I can travel travel abroad without my company knowing (supposed to be in USA).
I plan on getting 2 Raspberry Pi's, keeping one with me and leaving the other at a family member's house. PIVPN installed on both.
Even with VPN installed on the company laptop I don't think they can detect it if I make my own tunnel. With fast enough internet latency shouldn't be an issue.
Anyone have advice? Even if it takes them 6 months to catch and fire me, it might still be worth it for those 6 months.

How safe are the copy and move commands in a linux terminal compared to a generic drag and drop system in something like windows, mac or a linux desktop environment? Or is it all basically the same process under the hood? Are there checks done with the copy and move command to ensure there's no corruption?

I'd like to centralize backups having them all in a main server. I have all my hosts configured with a single / partition over LVM. The point is I'd been thinking about leveraging the following strategy with rsnapshot, but I'm not sure if it's possible:
A main backup server should store the rsnapshot produced files from all hosts in a dedicated block device.
All hosts must backup to a local folder using rsnapshot capabilities for creating lvm snapshot before backup and removing it after.
All hosts use rsnapshot cmd_postexec to rsync the rsnapshot local folder to the backup server immediately after each run.
Each client should obviously exclude /dev, /proc, /tmp, /sys and the like. But should it also exclude in its own backups the snapshot_root location to avoid 'backing up the backup'? Is this strategy possible and feasible? Am I missing something obvious here?

I have a wireless router I want to use as a switch, connected to my main router via WiFi. Is this possible?
I have:
>Wireless router with 4 LAN ethernet ports on it
>Computer with no wireless networking hardware
The plan is to set up said computer as a backup server at my grandma's place, but it would have to be far away from the ISP supplied router, and my family doesn't want cables running through the house. All the googling I've done on gives guides on how to connect a router via a cable to the main one and use it as a wireless access point, basically the opposite of what I want to do.
>>
>>101529927
you mean like a wifi repeater but with ethernet output?
in theory yes on paper not sure
a router that supports an open wrt variant would be your best bet, you might not be able to do it without ssh'ing into the router an manually configuring all the connections
asus routers for example have a built-in repeater mode but i'm not sure if that causes the ethernet output ports to work
>>
>>101529927
Sounds like a repeater bridge architecture. If your router supports some kind of aftermarket firmware, i.e. DD-WRT, it should be possible to enable that. Figure out what your hardware is compatible with and read the docs.
>>
>>101529927
This? It's called client bridge or media bridge.

I've never heard anything like that.

so radxa sells SATA HATs for single-board computers e.g. raspery pi. Supposedly it requires a power supply of 12V of which 5V go to the SBC automatically.
I am not sure if I understand this correctly: no matter what I plug into the HAT+SBC, e.g. 5 SATAs and 2 coolers, those 12V will always be sufficient and optimal, the only quanity that changes is the current required? Also I cannot oversupply amps?
>>
>>101536193

Amps are taken, not supplied. You don't decide how much amps something takes, voltage does that. Are you aware of Ohms law?

>>101536349
I don't want to shill shit, but maybe this question requires to be specific, so assume I want to try this HAT https://radxa.com/products/accessories/penta-sata-hat/.
Does it distribute the 12V to everything pluged in automatically? Can I use any amount of up to 5 SSDs and 2 coolers regardsless of their wattage? Is this standard in the industry? How do I know how many amps are sufficient?
>>
>>101536349

I don't see a problem. As long as your 12V power supply wattage is more than everything combined. Disks take most power from 12V, not 5V.

while i don't know any specifics, when there's a LOT of files to be stored, it's common to split them into folders, a common one being the beginning of the filename which works well when using checksums for filenames, since they tend to be unpredictable and therefore naturally fairly evenly spread amongst the folders

>>101542749
I generated a folder for each letter+number (35 total), + repeated the process inside each. So now I have 1225 folders and there should be no chance of performance hits unless I saved billions of files. I thought this made the most sense but maybe there's existing thinking on this

ps. if you plan on using the original filename, you'll also want to make sure your code can handle names with only 1 or 2 character names

I have a couple of vacant Gen 3.2 usb ports that are type-C. Can I offload anything to them—one is 10 gigs and the other is 20 gigs per second? I’d really like to free up a USB type-A port or two. Even unusual shit like an external DAC or something else if they could be plugged into the USB-Cs. Currently I have my webcam, microphone, keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset, and something else plugged into my type-A USB ports, essentially with one port free. Thinking of picking up an ASUS mouse and keyboard so I can pair them with one usb dongle. Otherwise, thinking of rolling back my shitty audio Realtek drivers that came with my motherboard to whatever the Windows HD Audio were so I can go back to a wired pair of headphones thus freeing up another usb port, etc. But anyway, what utilizes the 3.2 Gen 1 and 2 USB type-C etc.? I dislike utilizing all 8 of my usb type a ports if you couldn’t tell lol

Thanks.

So I'm basically trying to play audio from one computer (A) into another computer (B), so that the sound comes out through the headset of the latter computer (B).
Plugging into a microphone jack and using "listen to this device" gives a super low volume, like it's barely even doing anything unless it's full volume.
I'm struggling to really google any of this since everything is just about low volume devices in general, or about playing one sound into two computers. I want sound A to be put into sound B because audio software stuff that I like is on B, but even disabling the software it still has the super low volume.
What am I missing here?

You are maxxing out output volume from comp A before it gets to comp B? And you still get low volume that way?
Have you tried streaming audio from comp A to B via Bluetooth?

Alternatively, if it is about playing audio files on comp A through B, you can try setting up file sharing over local network. Or connect them in ad hoc and then enable sharing. It's a neat convenience, if with slow transfer rate.

Last resort: get one of those cheap tiny Soundblaster USB soundcards (like G6x or whatever), hook it up to comp B, and feed it the maxxed output volume of comp A, you shouldn't have issues then.

>>101545460
Anything you have will work in the Type C ports with an adapter. Alternatively, get a USB hub with a bunch of A ports. J5create, Orico, Minisopuru, Mokin, SmartQ, uGreen, SetMSpace, and EZQuest are some of the reputable brands with which you are unlikely to get chinked.

check qbittorrent settings, you'll see what ports you need to make sure are not blocked, though it could also be that downloading peers simply connect to numerous other seeders if available, I know I had issues seeding with a now defunct private tracker I used to be with simply due to too many other seeders outcompeting me or no one downloading.

I ended up using iperf3, and it confirmed that the bottleneck is the network. With the Ubuntu laptop running as the server, my Windows machine could only send about 6 MB per second, and with the Windows machine as the server, the Ubuntu laptop could only send about 3.5 MB per second. This is a cheap laptop with only Wifi4 (the Windows machine is on ethernet), but that's awfully slow even for that.

The laptop lacks an ethernet port, and only has one USB 3.1 port, which I'm using for an SSD. It has a USB 2.0 port, but I figured wifi would have comparable speed to just using a USB ethernet adapter on that port. With how slow the wifi is, though, maybe ethernet over USB 2.0 would be better.

without channel bonding, 802.11n only does 150Mbit/s, and that's peak condition symbol rate, you can't actually expect to hit that much if at all, there's a lot of variables
your 6MiB/s or 48Mbit/s (actual throughput) is about average for a random n ap at normal distances
also keep in mind wifi is a shared medium, meaning that band limit is for everything connected to it, not each thing, so if you have other things chatting on wifi that's going to affect your transfers as well

Any ideas what this could be, the scroll is obviously still functional but something's preventing it from working correctly

/g/entlemen, I require your assistance: these are the filters I have set on 4chan X for /gif/ and once in a while they stop working for no reason, and everything that should be filtered appears in the catalogue. Usually things get back to normal spontaneously w/o my doing anything, but this last bout has lasted several months already. How do I fix this?

Android os should be put on (or easier to put on) desktop/laptop pc's.

Look, windows kinda sucks, most linux isn't great (although some of the simple ones like mint/or elementary or something are ok) and mac os is not great either.

Look android has problems as well. But I just want to see it put on pc's (not just mobile) more. Just to see what would happen.

Am I the only one?

No, I've never touched it before today. It was already installed like that. Would I need needlenose pilers or something?

What would happen is you get ChomeOS. Google is actually redoing chromeos based on android, so yeah, that's it. Aside from being easy for retards to use I can't imagine how it would improve the average person's life.

What's the worst thing that can happen privacy/security-wise if I plug an ethernet cable from my pc to my router? Could the router see the files in my pc? Perhaps I should ask what's the most information the router can get with that ethernet cable?
And second, suppose there's a malicious device connected to the same router, like a windows laptop. Can the windows laptop do anything bad to my pc? Apologies for the silly paranoid-sounding questions, I'm aware they sound silly, but I want certainty before I actually plug the ethernet cable, or else I wouldn't be a very reasonable person...

I need speakers for my PC so I've bought edifier 1700bt and they sounded like shit. Had to return them. Do I really have to buy studio monitors for 500 bucks to have a normal sound? Those speakers sounded worse than my iphone speakers and old laptop speakers. After that people recommended me headphones. They said open ear and over ear headphones are comfortable, so I decided to give it a try and bought Hifiman-400se. They were heavy and it also hurt my ears. Maybe I'll buy Audio-Technica R70X later on. I'm looking for a budget tolerable solution if possible for a time being, also lots of things are not even available in my country/overpriced.

You can do most builds with just a PH1 or PH0, sometimes a PH000 comes in handy too.

I've been using the ifixit essentials kit which has those and gets the job done, but honestly I feel the bit driver is a bit too stubby, so consider something with a longer/thin barrel
>>
>>101553172
why are all the filters on one line? putting them on multiple lines makes it far easier to debug things like this.
just have it be like
/word/i;
/text/i;
/thing(y|ie|s)/i;
and so on, instead of having everything grouped together.

I used to only use firefox for 4chan and other things I don't want tainting my normie-friendly chromium profile. I found out about betterfox and lepton, and for the sake of the good old times, I've decided to try using firefox as a daily driver for a month for everything including normie stuff. Everything's going fine... until my youtube (no account) recommendations started resetting every day.
I already allowed it to save cookies and excepted it from being deleted on browser restart and what not but still. The cookies persist after browser restarts but for some reason not after booting. On ungoogled-chromium, my youtube recommendation cookies are like a year old and I have had zero issues with them.
Any clue? The only thing that comes to mind is that I had set the exception as "youtube.com" instead of "www.youtube.com", but then other sites can save cookies just fine without the "www" prefix so I don't know if it's truly that

curve has to do with viewing distance, how far away you will be from the monitor or TV, so go by that and not if you like one curvature versus the other in some kind of online visual comparison, which is not the right use case

Use firefox with the following
>betterfox
>make sure tracking protection is on strict
>ublock origin on medium mode (if it breaks X then fall back to easy mode)
>always on https
>configure delete site data (including cookies and cache) after browser exits
>if you want to remain logged in then add an exception to X
>set up firefox multi account containers and create an X container, set it to auto open everytime you go on X
>nuke X cookies and cache to have be make sure you are clean
>make sure X always opens in X container
>create your account and use X
The container will make sure that X cookies and site data are only visible to X.

>>101557587
>and for not responding to me I hope everyone of you rots in hell , the very hottest part
fuck you impatient nigger, I was writing this as you posted
and yes, localstorage counts as sitedata so it gets nuked along with cookies and cache when you close the browser UNLESS you except X from the nuke, even then the container will keep the sitedata and cookies only visible to X and nothing else

Ripping and authoring software, how do they work?
So, I wanted to back-up some DVDs for archival purpose. To speed this up, aside from ripping my own DVDs, I downloaded some untouched rips too. And I run into pic related issue/question.
The pic shows the same DVD, while the left side is my own rip, and the right side is a downloaded rip. The DVD is a promo DVD that only contains 1 episode of a show and some informations of a than upcoming new release, so it had a very short production run, I don't think they made any changed while producing the disc. The content itself looks exactly the same, however looking at the files clearly show a difference. The date 2020 surely indicates that it's not a accurate rip. But why do some files differs? And even like 10% of the files that seem to have the same size are also altered because their hashes don't match compared to my rip. Is this a ripping software issue or do new batches of a DVD production will undergo a different way on how the files are written/split on to the DVD?

Logout if you dont want cookies. Or do cookie delete.

Its the same shit other sites do to keep users logged in so that even if they change their IP/they still have session info

>>101558029
Its done so out of convenience to the user. I've only logged in twitter 2-3 times in the past 2 years or so. I've changed my IPs like dozens of times due to various ISP dynamic assignments. It just werks. AFAIK, they dont do any tracking on any websites since they're not really paying for those services nor buying those services. They dont care about others as long as they track their internal site usages.

>>101558062

I suppose a reputable site wont track after you leave or put permanent "spyware " on your computer.
I dont google but can you use G and still avoid them keeping permanent info stored about you ?
Does facebook or are they just notorious for how they sell your on site info ?

Ublock isn't an app, it's an extension. It's an open source one so you can get the releases from the github page. Just search for "ublock origin gorhill github repo"

>>101558245
They do, including every other site that uses their services (adsense, analytics, etc) WILL track you if you don't block third party cookies. At least modern browsers come with settings that you can use to disable third party cookies and to nuke sitedata on exit.
Just as an example. Get a VM, slap google chrome on it, make sure to disable third party cookie protection and go into google, facebook, X and any sort of popular big-tech site you can think of nowadays without login in and then going to things like tech news sites and less big websites. After going to like many of those sites, check your saved cookies and see how many hundred of tracking cookies you generated.
As long as you block third party cookies, use a decent adblocker, use sane browser settings and sanitize cookies on exit, you can avoid being tracked by big G or X when you are outside their sites.
While actively using their sites, you can't really stop them from tracking you though.

I don't know where else to ask this. On coomer, how do I get gallery-dl to download metadata per gallery instead of metadata per file? Currently, every image/video gets its own metadata .json file written, but I'd like to, if possible, make it so there is only one big metadata file per gallery, with each attachment's metadata contained within it.

My config is this:
{
"extractor": {

"base-directory": "~/coomer",

"path-restrict": "\\\\|/<>:;\"?!*#$€£&=§'`^~@¤\\[\\]{}() ",
"path-remove": "\\u0000-\\u001f\\u007f\u0080-\uDBFF\uDFFF",
