What's the best image upscaler available currently? (primarily for drawn stuff)

What DNS should I use if I want just decent performance? I know some are 'more secure' than others, but I don't really care about that, as long as I'm not diving into some kind of Chinese botnet.

How the FUCK do I enable double click to select kebab case identifiers (eg: in lisp) in my editor??

Is there a workaround or fix to this in virtual box?

I'm so tired bros, my work laptop decided to go into a repair loop when forcing an update I wasn't around to stop, I connect the drive (pic related) anywhere else and it's all there, I've made a backup of the few things that were not uploaded online, formatted the drive and the Windows 10 installer is not seeing it saying it's missing the drivers, I've had that happen before but now I absolutely cannot find the drivers. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Go to Dell site, enter service tag number since those are the most precise and see what drivers they have for download. Post tag number if in doubt.

https://www.dell.com/support/contents/en-us/article/product-support/self-support-knowledgebase/locate-service-tag/notebook

I sometimes move a hard disk to a PC I know will permit install without issues then complete the installation there while copying downloaded drivers to a convenient folder like the desktop. That's one reason I keep my elderly T61 collection.

Does your Dell have a recovery partition?

Try that bios update and see if the storage is detected in the bios.

I have a ubuntu Stable Diffusion PC set up in the basement.

I want to remote access the PC with a windows laptop upstairs.

When I usex XRDP, I get a session that is less functional than, say, compared to logging into a Windows machine with Remote desktop that gives m 100% full mirrored access.

Do I have XRDP set up wrong, or are remote GUI session through Windows Remote Access to a ubuntu machine inherently less functional?

Specifically, my Stable Diffusion setup requires CoreCtrl to manage power usage, but I cannot run CoreCtrl in a remote session.

Try turning it off for a few minutes and then turning it back on. Usually the OS will check for system and application updates after; It should also clear your phone's RAM and recache everything along the way. After the phone is back on, go to settings and check for system update and google play update, and any other form of security update, then reboot once more after they're installed.

What phone is it?

It kind of is. You tend to get more money for you buck with a normal gaming rig that is also easier to maintain than you would with a laptop. That being said what do you want to play is a big factor too. If you want to play something simple like Minecraft then a regular laptop that can play games might not be a bad option.

People say "RAID is not backup". That's because if you delete a file, you can't get it back, right?
If I don't need redundancy or high uptime, but I also don't particularly care about protecting myself from myself (in 15 years I've never deleted a file I've needed, yet), and all I want is protect myself from random drive failure eating my data, is RAID a good solution?

>why don't you just set up backups
RAID is nice in that it's set up and forget (until a drive dies and you now have a mirrored copy of the data safely stored that you can re-build the RAID from). RAID also only ever needs a constant amount of space; buy e.g. two drives for RAID1 and you're good forever.
Backups require regular triggering and grow in volume unboundedly. How often do I backup - once a day? If so I might still lose data on drive failure that RAID would have maintained. More often - what's the impact on system load, and on storage space? How easily can a backup solution snapshot an actively running system? When will my backup size exceed my original disk size?
And if I back up multiple times per day, the drives need to be connected and mounted anyway. If I somehow wipe my system (e.g. ransomware attack), the backups will be vulnerable anyway. At that point, the only thing it gives me over simple RAID redundancy is a glorified recycle bin if I, the user, accidentally fuck up some files.
>inb4 3-2-1
I know that's the best but I'm lazy, and this implies even MORE effort because now you have to manually connect your offsite/cold-storage backups. Or set up a server with some append-only protocol (so, again, a hypothetical malware attack can't just wipe it too).
I know I "should" but for many years already I've put off building a NAS or backup server and at this point I should be honest with myself that I simply never will.

Given all this, is RAID fine for my usecase?

Or if a house fire fucks up some files, or if malicious fucks up some files, or if a catastrophic bug fucks up some files (consider that incident where an accidental space caused a program to delete every user's /home), etc.
>RAID is nice in that it's set up and forget
So is cron.
>How easily can a backup solution snapshot an actively running system?
You generally don't back up the practical system itself (unless it's a VM) but rather the useful data on it, so that the machine can be lost but easily replaced as all data and configuration is still backed up elsewhere.

TL;DR: RAID is not a backup.

>>102817354
>So is cron.
Yeah, sure, a cron-job is indeed set up and forget, but you don't get a working backup with just a cron job.
You CAN run a cron job with just a second disk (or set of disks) on the same machine. But about all this protects from is "catastrophic bugs", and that /usr bug is still getting reported in YLYL threads because it's so rare.

If you use an external server for your backups, then they are very much not setup and forget. You gotta maintain the system, keep it running, update it regularly, etc. Unless you're suggesting a cloud backup is the solution (especially so it doesn't die to a housefire), but that quickly gets expensive if you want to keep a few TB of data for years.

Can you format drives from the windows installer?

If I want to lock my Void Linux + LXQt laptop using xlockmore with the settings I want (white text on the password entry screen, black background on the password entry screen, and echo "*" chars when entering password), then I have to type the following into a terminal:

`xlock -fg '#FFFFFF' -bg '#000000' -echokeys -echokey '*'`

However, when I assign this exact command to Ctrl+Alt+L and Win+L and use either of those shortcuts to lock, the screen locks, but the password entry screen has a white background and the text is invisible (the text is presumably also white). Same goes for locking the screen using the Leave screen (shut down, reboot, log out, lock, etc.) or closing the lid, which I set by entering the following lines in ~/.config/lxqt/lxqt.conf:

```
[Screensaver]
lock_command=xlock -fg '#FFFFFF' -bg '#000000' -echokeys -echokey '*'
```

It's almost certainly because of the "#" and "*" characters, but I thought wrapping those up in single-quotes would fix this. I guess that doesn't work outside the terminal. As for the keyboard shortcuts and lxqt.conf, I tried various combinations of single- and double-quotes as well as backslashes, but nothing worked. How should this command be formatted so that the xlock options apply properly when locking via kb shortcut or the Leave menu?

>>102815780
I mean, if it's good enough for your Internet connection it's good enough.

>>102817846
Out of curiosity, what if you leave out the color options, and just use some option that doesn't require # or * characters? Will that have effect?
E.g. I don't know about xlockmore but can you just pass -echokeys and see the effect with everything else being default?
Just to see if it's really those characters messing it up, or if it's just ignoring the options entirely for some reason.

(Also, are you sure it's - and not -- for the long options?)

>>102817269
>grow in volume unboundedly
Just set a size limit. The source drive volume never be over about 85% full anyway, so there's always some headroom.
>How often do I backup - once a day?
As often as you feel like. Worst case the backup jobs run into each other and you get slightly fewer than you asked for.
>what's the impact on system load
For a home user negligible. You can always just buy faster storage.
>How easily can a backup solution snapshot an actively running system?
Trivially. It's built into every modern storage system.

Realistically you're a narcissist and whatever you want to do is going to be correct according to your own hallucinations. Just do that and don't bother us.

>>102817573
Kinda, what exactly did you wanna do?
>>102815508
You would probably need around four or five partitions in the end. EFI partition 1GB, Windows partition, Swap partition, ElementaryOS partition. After ElementaryOS installs it should automatically run sudo update-grub, but if it doesn't, the next time you load into ElementaryOS just run that command and it'll scan for OS to add to the bootloader. You can also edit the grub file to adjust the time and background of grub and run the sudo update-grub again after.
>>102814550
Guess it depends how old your CPU is, and what tasks were running in the background before you opened it.

>>102818114
Yes, it's "-" and not "--" for long options. I didn't really notice that before. I guess xlock/xlockmore is weird like that.

Anyway,

xlock -fg white -bg black -echokeys -echokey x

works for me for both kb shortcuts and the Leave menu (via the lxqt.conf file). It also works when I omit

-echokey x

. However, I'd like the echo char to be "*" rather than "x" or the default of "?".

>>102818313
I AM a narcissist but these are good arguments. What size of drive would you expect for a backup solution (relative to the primary data drive) - is 1:1 dumb?

>>102818384
Drat. Well, I dunno anon.
What if you look up some unicode character that looks similar to * but will definitely not be a glob pattern? For example, somewhere in U+1F7B5 to U+1F7BA, or maybe U+2055. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_(glyph)

Assuming lxqt can handle unicode in those specific places, and the glyph exists in your font, it might work as a workaround.

What are the chances of me getting hacked by a person going through my accounts one by one, or is it usually a bot script running?

I got hacked right now, and my linkedin account got completely wiped and changed into another person, someone tried to login to my gmail, then now someone got access to my steam and sold a lot of my items on the market. I feel like it's a bot since the activity is fast. Changed all my passwords of course, deleted my linkedin since it's useless now. Now on the process of wiping my devices completely formatting the drives and reinstalling the Windows.

Somehow the hacker got access to all my saved login on my browser and computer so I'm assuming it's all compromised now password wise.

I'm worried this bot or person will start doing things to my other accounts like discord since those were also auto logged in on my browser but so far no activity.

That's why I have a suspicion it's a bot because it might be only targeting certain accounts of mine.

>>102819173
Probably should have done the format first; They could already have the new passwords if that machine was infected.

>>102819195
So far no activity on the changed passwords, I'll change it again after format, I did a full scan as soon as my email started sending suspicious activity warnings, it got a trogjan file on my browser's cache, deleted it, then ran a malwarebytes scan and nothing detected now. I'm not taking chances, I'm doing a full reinstall format on my devices, I'm just worried since it will take hours to format everything.

>>102819273
Good luck, anon, I feel for you.

>>102819173
Was it a virus or just a password breach? If a virus then obviously it's scripted, but if just a password breach and you weren't infected then it could be either, but still very much likely a bot. I'm under the impression that it's very very rare nowadays for people to get "hacked" by an actual individual human hacker sitting somewhere - unless you're a person of interest of course.
If you're not somehow inherently interesting (e.g. publicised high crypto net worth; employee at some lucrative or secretive organisation; or actual celebrity/politician/etc.) then you're most likely only ever gonna get hit with random scripts that mass-scan any and all possible targets. People reuse passwords all the time, so giant databases of leaked passwords are routinely used to try to brute-force normies with shitty passwords, and from there once you've got a match there's a good chance you can log in to a bunch of that person's other accounts with the exact same password (or a trivial variation of it). But this is only lucrative when done at a massive, massive scale, entirely automated from end to end.

Did you have similar/identical passwords on any of the accounts that were breached?

Between my linkedin, gmail and steam, the passwords are not the same, that's why my suspicion is that it somehow got access to my auto logins, I've checked remember me on my Steam for example. I'm stressed as fuck since I also had auto logins on a bunch of other websites but so far no activity on other important ones. Gonna change all the passwords after format.

I think the source of this is I ran a program without thinking the day before, I'm retarded since I assumed it was trustworthy since it was linked by a trusted source, I was pirating something and FitGirl is a trusted repacker, I had to download something from some other forum that FitGirl linked so I thought nothing of it since no one else in the forum is bringing up if the file is dangerous or not. I don't really know if it was that since the trojan was found on my browser's cache, so it could be something that I clicked.

Are passphrases still considered more secure than passwords? And would a coherent sentence be less secure than a random string of words when it comes to brute forcing?

>>102824256
There's nothing more secure about one or the other. Look at the procedure you use to pick the password vs the passphrase and compare how many possible combinations there are.
>would a coherent sentence be less secure than a random string of words
Just make the sentence longer.

How does the computer render numbers/letters at the lowest level? Is it like a grid where you draw each of the pixels to make up a number/letter? Like a graph or something?

>>102824370
older computers (bitmap fonts) store characters as an array of numbers that define what pixels are on or off for that character
modern character rendering is more complex, as the fonts instead define smooth shapes which have to be converted into pixels before display

I have a mini fridge, one with a compressor, and every now and then, I'll say every few months or so that I'm aware of, it shakes like I threw a live rat in there. Apparently it's the compressor itself, and most say it's a faulty compressor that is about to go out. But this happens rarely that I'm aware of. Is there still any reason to worry about it? It's only a couple years old.

>>102824256
Adding structure reduces the amount of possible options. Stringing multiple elements together exponentially increases the amount of possible combinations and thus options.

E.g. an 11 character password with letters (26 * 2 possibilities for upper and lowercase), ten digits and say ten symbols for a total of 72 symbols, gives 72^11 = about 20.5^10 possibilities.
A 5-word passphrase picked from a wordlist of 10,000 words give 20^10 possibilites.

If you're picking sentences, the randomness is probably going to be reduced, though it depends on how exactly you pick it. For example, if you have a wordlist of 3000 nouns, a wordlist of 3000 verbs, a wordlist of 3000 adjectives, and you don't count particles or connecting words, you might be able to generate random sentences that are grammatically coherent and that are functionally equivalent to a random passphrase picked from a 3000 word wordlist. However, they're going to be slightly longer (since again any helper words or particles aren't gonna be part of the randomess) and also you actually need a total of 9,000 words for all your lists, which will probably lead to some slightly more obscure or difficult words than if you just had a single 3000 word list.
And you can see the same tradeoffs here: if you keep the same 3000 word list and split it in three (so 1000 words for each category), and keep the same total length, you will have a much weaker "pass-sentence" than an equivalent fully random passphrase would've been.

If you try to give your sentence semantic meaning (so it doesn't sound like nonsense) it's quite a bit more complicated to figure out exactly how random it is. The same logic applies though, you can probably make it exactly as secure but it'll need to be even longer - I just don't know by how much (but I expect significantly).

Of course this assumes the words case of someone knowing your exact scheme trying to crack you. In practice this is very unlikely (though not impossible).

You can actually build it in chroot on another partition from within your existing install (this is what I did) and switch back and forth until you get it completely working to your satisfaction

figure out all your loaded hardware drivers now while you're on debian so you can configure them in the kernel when you get to building it. make menuconfig is a bit of a mess now for building the kernel, so it will take a bit of effort to completely find and configure everything you want. compare this against the debian kernel config in /boot

I kept the old partition around, but you can make an new OS partition and make a dd copy of that partition on another disk so you can revert if you seriously mess it up later on.

I already disabled automatically downloading updates in the phone settings, but apparently that doesn't do anything if the update in question was already downloaded and simply not installed yet.

Is the downloaded updated stored somewhere on the phone's internal storage that I can just go in and delete, or would I need to root it to access wherever that is?

maybe first check for loose mounting bolts on the compressor, also perhaps loose pipes
i'm not an expert on fridges, but conditional strong vibration with something that is supposed to vibrate otherwise could be a result of resonance, that is, when conditions are just right that a vibrating object is shaken at exactly the natural frequency of the object, which compounds the vibration to make it stronger, even if the input power is the same. factors such as ice buildup or shifting mains power frequency can slightly alter how the compressor vibrates

Update on this, formatted the drives and reinstalled windows, still changing my account passwords on other sites but the ones that were logged on my browser I already changed the passwords.

Been also contemplating about formatting my phone but I don't think it's necessary, what do you guys think? it's not like I installed anything malicious on this device afaik, all the apps on this phone are from google play and from companies that I know.

I having second thoughts on formatting my phone because there's a lot of connected 2FA measures from different financial apps on this phone, none of which was exposed on my PC, but a couple of social media accounts were logged in both pc and phone on their respective apps, but I really think don't think my passwords were exposed just the login tokens and attaching phones on those financial accounts are very strict and would be a hassle to attach again.

bitmap fonts are just a set of pictures, you can use any image editor, though there are editors specifically for creating fonts as well
i'm not sure specifically which part you want to know about or what your goal is
in very old computers, the system font is stored in a rom as a group of pictures called a character set, with each character called upon by an index, basically you write a program to grab the data for each character by means of a predetermined offset into the character rom, what characters look like, which are available, and what offset they have into the rom is up to the system designer. for example, the original IBM PC character set is called IBM code page 437, which is a superset of ASCII (pic related), these are all the characters you could display in text mode on an original PC, it's likely familiar to you, because windows still uses it in cmd, often so does your bios if you disable graphical effects

There's no compelling reason to switch to new windows releases anymore, unless you physically have no choice (e.g. no hardware support, or microsoft ceasing all security patches and you still need your computer to be internet-connected).

you can probably do it through the app's data directory, but android has been thoroughly ios-ified and makes it a huge pain, easiest method would be if you have root access you have to find the right app data folder somewhere in its shitfuck of symlinked-everywhere garbage filesystem maze

unless organicmaps supports either an export option or using explicit storage for its maps, in which case you can do it in-app (by "explicit storage" I mean a folder somewhere in your user data that you can access with file managers and shit, as opposed to the internal hidden app directory somewhere inside the system data)

Nothing in particular, I just have multiple bad experiences with "routine" app updates breaking the apps' functionality and would prefer, if at all possible, never experiencing the same with the phone as a whole.

>>102831395
I see where you're coming from but generally there's a difference between OS and app updates - OSes rarely change in functionality, compared to apps. When they do, it's usually separated by "major versions" and usually multiple major versions are maintained in parallel, so you can switch between them at will all while keeping whichever one you use up-to-date. For example, updating windows 10 without switching to windows 11, or updating android 12 without switching to android 13.
It's not 100% certain this will be the case for you because you're using a samsung ROM rather than normal android, but normally this is how it works, and within a single OS version it's very very rare that updates fuck anything up.

In comparison, apps are often built by tiny teams that do whatever they want and will fuck things up or redesign them in stupid ways at will.

In that case just don't choose a compression method at all, makes it faster to extract.
Also in case you care, you should check "store creation time" in the options, else all files will have it set to when you extract them

so im a leaf with a yank phone plan since I have relatives in the states, easier for them since theyre old w/e idc
Anyway, im using this data today on my phone and try to post here, but get a notification I was perma-banned 2 years ago (for some heinous shit). I was using data the other day with no problem posting, no banned IP. But today using LTE it says I'm using a banned range. I dont know shit about networking, why does this happen?

I believe buying a 4chan pass allows you to bypass an IP range ban, although I'm not sure you'd want to go to the trouble considering your low odds of happening to land on a mobile IP range that is banned.

>>102819653
It eats posts without any slurs too. 4chan hates my new isp. I have to phonepost exclusively now.

>>102832559
Since it worked fine for you earlier, it probably means you can easily "evade" (in this context, more like just avoid) by restarting your data
Maybe it might take a few tries or maybe you'll need to wait a couple of days for it to go away
Mobile IPs are very very dynamic, and since it's an old ban it's clearly just random chance. It might even have been a single IP ban and you got unlucky; I've had tons of those when mobileposting. If you had suddenly seen a fresh ban then it would've been cause for worry because indeed your entire ISP/range might've gotten banned, but since it's 2 years old and you were posting without a problem earlier, it'll almost certainly go away.

Your IP isn't flagged for a felony, it's literally just flagged for not being able to post on 4chan and nothing else. Dynamic IPs exist everywhere and any legal action always uses timestamped logs, i.e. your ISP would be subpoenaed to say who owned that IP at that specific time 2 years ago; nothing will happen to any users of the IP ever since then.

Oh and you can also unironically appeal the ban. The 4chan mods also know what dynamic IPs are, I've had random dynamic IPs unbanned before just by posting an appeal that says "this is a mobile/dynamic IP, pls lift this months-old (let alone years-old) ban that the original poster will almost certainly never see".

Software Engineer or Computer Science degree? I think SWE has more job opportunities nowadays right?

The rise of machine learning and its consequences have been a disaster for captcha spam-protection on 4chan.

Back in the day there was no captcha, and then when spam attacks started happening, moot added a captcha. Over the years paid services or crappy solvers would come and go to little fanfare. But now it seems we get spamwaves even despite the captcha, and so every time hiro adds a new layer of fuck-you shitty scripting and fingerprinting and behavioural filtering at the browser/cloudflare level that inevitably fucks up normal users and just keeps compounding and compounding.
At this rate, posting on 4chan is gonna be harder than making a twitter account.

Situation:
>My desktop PC is hooked up to two computer screens (DisplayPort). But each of said computer screens is also connected to two different laptops (HDMI).
>A few hours ago, I switched the screens to the laptops.
>When I go back, neither screen reacts when I switch it back to the DisplayPort for my desktop PC.
>Resigned to the fact that I have to do a hard reset/shut down.
>I press the power button.
>I hold it for 10 seconds, nothing happens.
>I hold it for a minute, nothing happens.

>>102833162
SWE is a job title. Is the degree a real degree, or is it a meme? At first glance it sounds like a meme "accelerated" or "career-focused" degree from a low-tier or even degree mill type of place, that's optimised just to shove students into random jobs no matter the quality to keep up its employment metrics, and optimising its teaching for this and only this rather than for actual education of its students.
Whereas CS is the "normal", traditional academic degree where you go to learn stuff. You won't necessarily learn to be an experienced dev, but that's what job experience is for, the degree is for learning about theoretic concepts that you might not otherwise pick up but that may well come in handy if you already know them - especially in more demanding, senior or theoretical types of jobs.

>>102833162
Its hard to say, things might change dramatically by the time you get that degree

>>102833162
SWE is 100% voodoo bullshit, but it's probably better if you want a job straight out of undergrad. It's way more important to network and have side projects than a specific degree.

>>102832559
IPs alone don't point towards a person. You need an IP + proof a person was on that IP at a given moment to link them to a crime committed using that IP. This is because of the exact scenario you're experiencing. Because most isps just share a limited pool of ips between their customers, if someone does heinous shit, you could accuse all of them. Because of this it's widely understood that an ip address alone doesn't mean anything to establish identity.

>>102833249
Also tried this. Used cloudflare dns, didnt help. I think the issue is due to my isp being insane. I get switched in a pool of 3 ips every minute, so i probably wont ever pass a captcha.

Then get a job, don't get a degree.
>b-but jobs want a degree and--
Then when jobs say they want a degree, it's because they want an educated candidate, who has learned from a real degree.

The only exception is if you're applying to shitty soulless corporate places where a degree is basically a required piece of paper to get through the HR system, but all they actually need is a basic code monkey. In that case a codemonkey degree that teaches you how to be a code monkey and gives you a piece of paper to get past HR is exactly what you'd need. But doing this basically closes all the other doors (or at the very least does nothing to open them), and is this really your goal? To go work as a bugman drone in some shitty pajeet-ran monkey den?

>When I look up "computer science" on job search the results pale in comparison to "software engineer"
"Software Engineer" is an actual job title, so yeah, no shit. "Computer science" will only show up in listing that explicitly name the degree they need (and only IF your search does a deep-text search through the entire listing text), and plenty of listings will say something like "relevant degree" or "need a BSc" or something (because, for example, often a maths or physics degree will be counted as just as good as a CS one).

Is there AI for upscaling photos of faces?

>>102833418
NTA but the idea is to demonstrate that you know how to a) write code and b) solve problems and actually get shit done with code
Work experience is usually the most direct way to prove this ("hi, I wrote code professionally for X months/years, people have paid me to do this and have been happy enough with the shit I coded to continue paying me"), but absent a previous job, having projects you just built on your own is a good way to land that first job.

The kind of project that's good is the kind that demonstrates the above two things. That means it better not be something that can be directly written with a tutorial (e.g. a snake game in python, or a simplistic web site, are probably completely worthless). The absolute best kind of project is something that you write to actually use yourself and solve some problem you were having, AND which is interesting enough for you to be able to talk about how you built it, challenges in making it, tradeoffs and design decisions you had to make and why you did things the way you did, what you learned writing it, etc.
The second best kind of project is something which at least fulfils the latter, even if it's not something actually useful to you.

>listings will say something like "relevant degree" or "need a BSc" or something
That's true, and the school I want to go to is ABET certified with their CS program, so it's a 'legit' degree.

>>102833495
Oh, to add, nowadays with LLMs it's much much easier for a nearly complete no-coder to write some simple project guided entirely by AI, so I honestly don't really know for sure how that changes the landscape. It does make simplistic projects even more worthless.

Maybe you can use AI to help you write a considerably more complex project, though. Something big and featureful enough that there's actually clear effort from yourself and things to talk about stuff that you learned and decisions you took etc. as I mentioned above, even when taking the AI into account.

Oh and to add, all of this is just to increase your odds of a job. None of this guarantees a job, but none of this is truly necessary either. And networking is also important. I got my first job because my master's degree supervisor had his own startup and liked working with me.

can a lack of RAM cause PC to freeze/crash with that constant buzzing sound coming from speakers? (video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXz24Hse0vM)

so lately i have been playing relatively fresh video game while having like 30 tabs open in chrome browser and music playing in the background. my current system has 16gb of ram. the game requires a minimum of 8gb ram and recommended being 12gb ram. with all that shit running,task manager shows that i use around 90-95% of my ram (so basically around 15gb).

just a few days ago the game started having random "seizures" (there are NO action scenes or ANY vfx-heavy stuff happening) where fps drops from like constant 80-100 to 10 and down to ~2fps. jitters like that for around 10-15secs and gets back to normal 100 fps pretty quickly. minor inconvenice but whatever. now it got worse, sometimes whole Windows freezes/crashes and even rarer - system reboots itself forcefully after freeze. my cpu is ryzen 3600 which is plentiful and gets around id say 70-80% usage. gpu usage 70-90% (6gb vram).

very rarely, like once a month (these days probably more often) you can still catch a system stutter without playing any vidya - just browsing internet. same buzzing noise and whole system stutters (you can see based on mouse point movement). but obviously i dont reach 100% of RAM usage just by browsing, it uses like 50%.

so what the fuck is up? is it my SSD giving up? or its a GPU issue? or do i need to buy additional RAM?

Genuine question, why do some companies - some new/modern banks specifically - absolutely require a phone app to function?
Starling for example, apparently they have a functional website ("webapp"), but you can't create an account at all without using a smartphone.

Usually websites would push apps to be able to collect more data and sell more ads, but these are banks, who a) already get unfettered access to my spending habits which sounds way more valuable than anything a phone app could scrape, and b) don't show in-app ads anyway. So why the requirement?
Same for shit like Monzo and Revolut, afaik. I've seen this pattern in ride-sharing apps too, like Uber and I think some others too, and again I'm not sure modern android - with google trying its hardest to walled-garden its own data and prevent apps collecting shit for third-party ad networks - is really all that lucrative compared to my travel schedules, and again they don't exactly show random in-app ads (except for ads to their own extra services and upsells).

They all HAVE webapps. Fully functioning ones. They just arbitrarily gate access behind using a phone for some reason, and I can't comprehend why.

What is the proper way to hold your mouse? Are you supposed to have your middle finger on the middle button and ring finger on the right button? I always used my index finger for both left and middle button, but ever since I bought some super expensive "ergonomic" mouse, the right button is more sensitive and slightly lower in position, so it seems to imply it's meant for the ring finger.

>>102839232
On normal mice, it's down to preference, though the "normal" way would be with just two fingers, with index for both middle and right. I actually use three fingers but I don't know anyone else who does.
On an "ergonomic" mouse it's really hard to say because they can have the wildest shapes, and they're also not necessarily intended to be used "normally" since the entire point is to deviate from the accepted standard and try to become more comfortable. Is it one of those vertical ones?

>>102839232
