How can I tell if a contact on mine actually has WhatsApp downloaded?
They have a profile with no profile pic, no blue tick read receipts, no "last seen".
Does this mean they have an account but not downloaded.
Should I just text them?

They will last forever IF they don't dry out. So basically mostly forever, unless the packaging is shit and isn't 100% hermetically sealed.
It's just tissues/wipes with alcohol and water or something. Absolutely nothing can happen to them except said alcohol (and water) evaporating, and alcohol evaporates pretty quickly, so the packaging has to be really well sealed, but it's extremely easy to manufacture properly sealed packaging so there's almost no reason it wouldn't be.

>>106617697
Gameshit is one of the few things that can be hit or miss on linux. Google "XIVLauncher linux" and see whether it's officially supported and whether people say it works or complain of issues, I'm not gonna do that for you.
Ever since Steam has released proton it's also very easy to run 99% of games even when they don't officially support linux (as long as they don't have some kind of insane rootkit anticheat, those will rape you, except EAC which actually does work). But for launchers and janky community-made wrappers it might need a little bit of work. I have no idea, again, google this; I expect you might need to spend up to an afternoon getting it working, worst case.

VLC has native linux builds, "and everything" also probably has. You seem to have an impression of Linux as some kind of weird obscure OS that nerds use exclusively using text-based commands to browse the dark web or something. It's just a normal OS, most things work on most OSes and almost everything else can work through a compatibility layer (i.e. Proton), the things that really can't run on Linux at all are the exception not the norm.

Understandable. In this case, why not give up on the VPN idea and instead expose whatever users need externally? Filter by IP/ISP/country if you must, and ensure that there's 2-factor authentication in place for those services.

What is the chance that a phone, whose letting out a bit of smoke, and stank, is going to explode because of a busted battery or something? How big/lethal is said explosion?

>>106620390

perhaps it is possible to calculate battery energy in joules and compare to known ammunition joule number

>>106620390
>a bit of smoke
Sounds pretty bad
>how big/lethal
Lithium batteries don't explode as such, they just start burning really hot. So if the phone is in your pocket for example it's bad. If it's on your desk next to you you'll probably be fine, your desk will get burnt though. Also it will likely release a bunch of acrid smoke and fumes so if you're asleep and your phone is next to your bed and the battery blows, if you don't wake up then it's bad news for your breathing (I don't know exactly how lethal though).

>>106620436
>Lithium batteries don't explode as such, they just start burning really hot. So if the phone is in your pocket for example it's bad.
Then how did they explode all the terrorists cells in ... somewhere around Israel, I forgot. It was big in the news a year ago, that they put "explode the phone" switches in the phones sold in this region.

>if you don't wake up then it's bad news for your breathing (I don't know exactly how lethal though).
When I was a kid, my computer (like late 90s CRT era floppy disk computer) had a meltdown somehow and it smelled bad too. Was that the same level of cancer-giving?

>>106619431
GDPR defines several legal ways to collect data, and "legitimate interest" and "consent" are two categories of lawful data collection. (Another one, for example, is for "complying with laws" e.g. keeping financial KYC information for a certain number of years or whatever.)
So for example a login session cookie would be legitimate interest. They don't need your consent for this, because it's a basic requirement for the functionality. Meanwhile advertising cookies have no legitimate interest, because they can deliver the exact same service without them, so to be able to track you they require your explicit and informed consent (in theory).
Generally the law also requires making it easy to not give the consent, otherwise it doesn't count as actual consent. There's almost always a "Reject All" button, and I'm pretty sure any "I consent" checkboxes legally cannot be pre-checked, so if you just click OK or Save or whatever it should not count as consent (though they do usually have an "Accept All" button nearby so in practice do be careful).
They also often let you select the data by "purpose", such as advertising, tracking you, etc., so you can select from 3-4 categories rather than hundreds of partners.

Also the funny thing is some popups let you actually uncheck a "legitimate interest" checkbox too which makes me think they're playing fast and loose with classifying quasi-tracking there, so they're covering themselves by technically letting you opt-out just in case someone wanted to sue them saying those bits are not legitimate either.

>>106620466
>Then how did they explode all the terrorists cells in ... somewhere around Israel, I forgot.
Because Israel sold explosive devices to them, duh.
>When I was a kid, my computer (like late 90s CRT era floppy disk computer) had a meltdown somehow and it smelled bad too. Was that the same level of cancer-giving?
Define meltdown. A battery fire is an actual chemical fire, self-sustaining until all the lithium burns up, so I expect it's probably quite a bit worse than just a component getting overloaded/overheated and popping (and immediately ceasing to conduct electricity properly).

I wanted to buy an USB-C extender cable, but I read something from 3 years ago that they're super complicated and "dangerous" because of how the wires inside work, or might not work. Is that still true?

I'm having this rust lifetime issue which makes no sense to me. Here is the error:

347 |         let font: sdl2::ttf::Font<'a,'a> = ttf_context.load_font(
    |                   ----------------------   ^^^^^^^^^^^ borrowed value does not live long enough
    |                   |
    |                   type annotation requires that `ttf_context` is borrowed for `'a`

But wtf, it literally says Font<'a,'a> right there in the code. How is that not annotating that the borrow will live for 'a? What am I missing?

Should I switch my most important mobile phone number (the one that has all the important accounts linked) to an eSIM for security? I assume it makes it easier if the physical SIM gets destroyed or the phone gets stolen. Never actually had that happen to me, so I don't know what I would even do if I lost my phone to damage or theft. That's why I actually rarely take it with me when I go outside, and why I have two other phone numbers.

A kvm (these have hdmi ports for switching monitors too but you won't need that feature) or usb switch. For the analog audio, a usb sound interface
You can get kvms with audio built-in (and hence, mic/audio-out ports), but for a mic like that, why not go with a cheap audio input/output interface.

>>106620860
I would repose your question more expansively to “Can windows or any OS that can be virtualized on windows emulate iOS?” and the answer is not with anything available to consumer.

Corellium has virtualized iOS and survived an Apple lawsuit but they use their hypervisor internally and they survived the lawsuit explicitly because they only make iOS available for security research purposes. They’re virtualizing using cloud servers.

What you can do is rent an iOS device from a provider that gives you cloud access to it, and run whatever iOS app you want on it. This will work on your windows computer there’s just a nominal fee to use it for a given period of time. This is the closest thing to an actual solution to your problem roughly in the way you described that actually exists.

>>106621080
Meant to say they’re virtualizing using ARM servers.

Basically Apple has copyright of iOS and anything that might reasonably reduce iPhone and MacOS sales, which an emulator definitely would, they have much legal leeway to shut down especially if the project is done for profit.

>>106620519
nah, they're fine. USB C specification has pretty small length limits that they recommend and (passive) extensions can easily go over them.

If the exe or msi were already compressed, the zip compressor can deflate incompressible data and compress it worse. It can also add overhead.

Long story short, ATT, practially the only ISP in our area, is forcing us off uverse next month and making us switch to att air. Is that any good?

We also have local fiber, but I'm not all sure what that entails, our house is about 80 years old and it i'm concerned how much internal rewiring is needed, is it worth it?

>>106620334
First while you explicitly said that if you just took the normiepill, bought Sony xm6, Bluetooth multipoint to both computers and maybe your phone, you would have better sound and microphones than most coworkers. This would eliminate multiple devices on your desk and a shitton of cables. Of course you will not do this as you must flex on your coworkers instead.

As for your question, if you want a switch, you probably want a kvm, but you aren’t going to be able to plug your xlr cable directly into it that’s simply not happening. Either convert the signal to 3.5mm/usb to send it through the kvm or come up with some other solution.

>>106620466
Simple. They literally put bombs into some cellphones and literally sold them to terrorists as “super secure anti-zog phones for israel haters” and then blew them all up near simultaneously.

>>106621179

sure the privacy extensions can change your address every now and then but I'm sure they could just as easily re-establish who you are based on the connections you make, and they live long enough for multiple orgs to use the same address and connect to you.

Also, if I'm using wireguard I have to specify a globally routable address if I want to route ipv6 traffic over it. even if I assign a big block to a client from the server it's still got a unique prefix, right? from what I can tell there's no way to keep my ipv6 address either randomized or not available if I want ipv6 routed over the wireguard network.

Git is decentralised, meaning that what happens in one repo has no influence on anything happening in another repo. There is no central server or anything like that.
A pull request is literally that – a request. It means "please pull changes from this part of my repo into your repo". This request is independent from the actual states of the repos, so you (or anyone else) can submit any number of such requests, it's the recipient of the request who decides what to merge/rejecte/ignore and in what order.
If they try to pull your changes and there's a conflict (for whatever reason), they can resolve the conflicts themselves or ask you to rebase your changes or do something else entirely. You're not in control of their repo.

I don’t know, I don’t really think NAT gives you much extra security in ipv4 - it just adds a level of granularity. Your public ipv4 ip is still generally tied to you in every way, just doesn’t give away the internal scheme of your network. I do share your concerns.

font is borrowed for 'a, that doesn't mean that ttf_context is borrowed for 'a.
I'm assuming load_font returns a reference to something inside the ttf_context. Imagine you do something like

fn sneed() -> Font<'a> {
  let ttf_context = /*...*/;
  let font: Font<'a> = ttf_context.load_font();
  drop(ttf_context);
  return font;
}

Assuming, again, ttf_context holds the underlying data and Font<'a> is basically a reference to it, now the context is dead and font is a reference to nothing.

So you are annotating that

font: Font<'a>

will supposedly live for 'a, and 'a is longer than the scope of your function since you're returning it outside the function - that's what you're telling the compiler. But actually you're killing the original data it's referencing right inside the function, so it's not actually true that font will live for 'a.
Hence the compiler error that the original has to live at least as long as the claimed lifetime of your reference.

i'm looking to get a VPN
choosing between nord, surfshark, and proton
not gonna do anything crazy, really want it primarily for international netflix access to watch wrestling ppvs on. maybe use it for soulseek too? i rawdog that shit currently. and if i ever torrent something, it'd be nice to have, but i don't do that right now.
which of these three VPNs would you go with?

When torrenting, were I to add a list of public trackers to ensure speed and completion, is it possible for these public trackers to use my IP to download content other than what I am downloading?

>>106626664
only if there was a hash collision

>>106626676
how would I know if there was a hash collision. I use a VPN and private trackers and I used public trackers to download a game and a tv series and when I checked I saw BBC porn as downloaded, too. I do not watch porn.

Possibly a very retarded question, but I've heard oodles about how shit youtube's copyright strike system is - such as people reuploading someone's video (or part of it) and then using that to strike the original uploader, which can get resolved with a counter-claim but is a huge hassle and takes the video offline for a while. The recent drama with gamersnexus and bloomberg made me think, how come we don't hear about this being used more often for trolling? What stops someone - especially maybe a third worlder who isn't worried about giving up his personal information, of which there are plenty around - from filing frivolous copyright claims like these, even on big channels (like bloomberg in this case), and just raping their recent videos and taking them offline for 10+ days and forcing their overpaid lawyers to work on counter-claiming?
Gamersnexus's latest video apparently even mentions a tweet by someone whose tiktok clip was literally used by bloomberg without attribution, which may or may not be fair use but would easily allow for a legitimate-looking strike to be filed for example.
Clearly we don't see this happening, so is there something that would make this not work or does simply nobody bother? I've heard stories of random copyright trolls being petty enough to strike random speedrunners or whatever in inane schizo drama, surely there's people out there who hate big corpos and journos enough to attempt this.

>>106626850
not familiar with the stuff you're referring to but this does happen very often for smaller media-focused creators like cartoon/movie/whatevermedia review channels whenever someone is bored enough, but any major channel like bloomberg has close ties to youtube and this stuff only happens on complete accident in a way that is only a bit embarrassing and only on youtube's behalf (and is cleaned up almost immediately).
when people who are only relevant online like keemstar or ethan klein can call youtube whenever they want to get problems sorted out in an afternoon, sometimes for smaller channels that aren't even their's, bloomberg or any player like that has to be being given nothing less than first-class treatment.

in other words, worst case scenario of them siding with bloomberg is what, a video or two by niche youtubers? worst case of them siding against bloomberg is pissing off bloomberg. youtube's big but also eternally like two MSM news articles away from an adpocalypse so they can't really afford to make enemies of anyone important.

>>106627051
Ah ok so they just solve it manually.
The reason I was asking is that youtube's system is well known to be extremely unresponsive and almost fully automated. So in normal cases, it's not "youtube siding with small channels" or siding with anyone, it's the automatic strike system letting anyone send a strike and just fucking over the recipient. AFAIK, if you strike three videos at once, it adds three strikes to the channel at once and just automatically bans it from youtube, or something like that.

So it sounds like they basically have exceptions built-in where if you try to strike an MSM channel, it's not that "they side with the big guys" but they literally have a separate system for them where it doesn't do anything automatically at all and has to go through human review and get thrown out. Kinda like how the twitter leaks showed it had an exception list of accounts who could say nigger and not get banned lmao. If that exists then it makes sense

If they setup xgs pon it will have the fiber line go directly to the bgw320 modem/router/switch/wifi combo unit, and there won't be a white ont box. Also the technician running the cable to your house will ask you where you want him to drill the hole to put it into your house.

There are some CPUs nowadays that include really powerful iGPUs. Well, powerful for the standard of an iGPU - they're still ultra-budget tier compared to actual dGPUs. But right now we're at a kind of weird spot where GPU performance has been skyrocketing for the past few years, but suddenly newer games are just insanely demanding (with UE5 and raytracing) so there's still shit that makes modern GPUs struggle, but it's basically neatly compartmentalised - if a game is using the newer UE5 slop then it's going to be extremely demanding, if it's not (e.g. it's more than a few years old, or the devs are sane and it's not a cookie cutter AAA game that looks and plays and runs like every other AAA game) then it's vastly easier to run.

Anyway, look up benchmarks for shit you're considering. I know top of the line is the Ryzen AI MAX series (awful name I know but these are the chips with the best iGPUs from AMD) and I think the newest intel shit also has powerful iGPUs.

>just go for a high-performance CPU
Kind of in the sense that top of the line CPUs tend to also have top of the line iGPUs, but the latter is what you want. If you buy someting like a workstation or server CPU that demolishes consumer or laptop CPUs in benchmarks but the iGPU is either an afterthought or it even doesn't even come with one, then it will be immeasurably worse for games. Don't play games on the CPU raw, period.

I'm wondering if there's a way to extract an audio stream that gets automatically padded to the duration of the video stream.

The video file is 10 sec (10 sec video stream).
There's a 2 sec audio stream set to start playing around 8 sec into the video.

Extracting the audio gives a 2 sec audio file but I would like to extract it into a 10 sec audio file (with 8 sec of silence in the beginning), and I don't want to fool around with padding filters where I set the number of milliseconds manually.

>Ryzen AI MAX series (awful name I know but these are the chips with the best iGPUs from AMD)
I've been looking mostly into AMD CPUs. Everywhere I look they have a better price to performance ratio, and I've also heard more criticism about Intel than AMD for the past year or so.
I think the Zen 4 architecture has RDNA 3.0 iGPUs and the Zen 5 (or AI 300 series for laptops) has RDNA 3.5
I mostly just compare different CPUs with cpubenchmark dot net. Do you know if their rating includes the iGPU as well?

>>106633383

For laptops I've used notebookcheck in the past, they seem pretty comprehensive with their benchmarking (though with a super jank comparison interface, it works but a bit annoying to use).

Thanks. One more thing, though. I don't want a dGPU, because they supposedly make the laptop heavier, hotter and louder. The weight is easy to understand, but what about the other 2?
Having a dGPU means consuming more power, which in turn generates more heat. But if you have more performance "available" thanks to the dGPU, wouldn't that mean you don't need to use as much power?
Under the same, heavy load, would a laptop with a dGPU (almost) always get hotter and louder?
And is comparing an iGPU laptop to a dGPU one the same scenario as, say, comparing a CPU with 20W TDP to a one with a 60W TDP?

>>106633849
Laptop chips use a lot less power, a dgpu adds a lot more compared to that. Check out gaming laptops, they are bulky, heavy and hot.

>>106634731
I think it's because of the way the airflow works. Modern laptops are pretty thin (except the biggest gaming bricks), and at the same time wide/long. So if you had an intake on the side you'd basically have to pull air from a pretty small area and find a way to blow it across all the components needing cooling, all the way across the entire motherboard. By pulling in air from the bottom and blowing it out the side, you get to blow hot air it pretty hard and fast out and this sucks cold air from the whole bottom surface which then incidentally cools all kinds of small components on its way to the exit fan.
What's really a missed opportunity is the lack of rear vents IMO, you could probably make do with rear intake and side exhaust. I'm guessing it's just annoying to lay out correctly or requires more mass or space for the components to be properly cooled this way, and laptop manufacturers are working to optimise hard on size, weight and cost all at the same time.

>>106635098
If you know the passkey/passphrase, you're still going to have to rely on self control.

>>106634794
Basically the way it's looking, gigantic companies will continue maintaining the advantage unless something changes dramatically, while local and smaller models will always lag behind. Both are getting better, you can do local but it will just be lagging behind the state of the art.

Pic related looks like a generic piece of not particularly impressive writing and I'm pretty sure this is doable right now, go look at /lmg/.

>>106635256
What about putting it on the top? The numpad is useless most of the time for most people, so just get rid of that you have space. Probably wouldn't be enough on it's own, but with the other options you mentioned, it should be enough. I've seen this design on a few laptops

>>106635270
not him but this can still be an effective mental aid,
>let me just glance at a few memes really quickly
is a lot harder to resist than
>let me just open the container, enter my lengthy passphrase, let it decrypt and then look at some memes

the latter doesn't replace self control but it helps it a lot. i blacklist some sites into my /etc/hosts and yes sometimes I'm bored enough to go through the effort of editing that file, entering the sudo password and deleting the line before going ahead with it, but it really helps in a lot of cases

>>106635283
I think a lot of people would be angry if the numpad were dropped from a large laptop, so no manufacturer can be bothered with doing so. Plus a lot of smaller laptops, which are the ones suffering the most from bad cooling, don't even have a numpad. Like on my laptop right now, under the screen there's the speaker grille, then the keyboard (without numpad, no space to save), then the wrist rest and touchpad.

And even on a big laptop, the entire keyboard having to not be an air intake would defeat a good chunk of the purpose since it will very likely sit over most of the central components that really need airflow. Doable but again I'm guessing a) it might need bigger and stronger fans to make up for it so heaver and more expensive laptop, and b) people might say "ew lots of holes in the top ugly" and for some reason laptops tend to be designed as fashion accessories these days, even business ones.

need the output to be wav without any special metadata tricks (will be read by other software that can't understand "delay this audio stream by 8 sec")

>>106635382
At that point isn't it easier to just stay away from the internet?

>>106635435
it may need to be done in two parts, one to read the metadata and then pass that as a variable to the wav export command

>>106635507
that's what i want to avoid, it's annoying because you know ffmpeg has everything it needs to be able to figure out how much initial padding the wav should have, but there's no way to tell it to make use of that information

whats the best way to archive the entire video library from a youtube channel?

>>106636105
yt-dlp

>>106627641
it happened again, last night, but, this time it wasn't porn. I did not download anything, but, I've been seeding. I called my ISP to find out what could be causing this; I thought, perhaps there's a tap on my line outside coming to my modem on the onside, but, they said they'd not possible and it's something to do with the router. I doubt it, because I have 3 routers and I switched out the one from the last incident. The files I download and seed are from a private tracker and are in zip format. Idk what's causing this can anyone shed some light on this?

>>106627641
Ohhhh and I'm using qbittorent on Windows 10

>>106636105
yt-dlp.exe -f "bestvideo[height<=480]+bestaudio/best" --download-archive !done.txt https://www.youtube.com/c/<channel-name-here>/videos

replace 480 with whatever highest resolution you want.
note that the shit heads at youtube has made it impossible to download some videos without logging in (usually "age restriction" censorship), and they might limit you due to thinking you're a bot

>>106636138

perfect, thanks bros

How come OPAQUE hasn't taken over all logins and ended the push for 2fa? Is there something wrong with it? I just like passwords, keep them in my head, never send them over the wire, simple as that.

>>106636181
There is no reason to limit the resolution for archiving.

>>106636399
depends on how much disk space you think it's worth and how likely you think it is it will go offline

>>106636238
I've never heard of it before, but I checked and the RFC was published literally this July. I see there were draft versions in like 2021 or so. Login systems are extremely entrenched and if you think a new shiny protocol can "take over all logins" overnight, well, you're wrong, it can't. The best you can hope for with shit like this is some big tech company, like google or ms, implementing it for their own shit and then others eventually following suit. (In this case I guess cloudflare is pushing it but nobody actually logins to cloudflare.) And even then it's really no guarantee. FIDO U2F has been standardised for like a decade from what I can see, and yeah google lets you use it (though ONLY after you first provide a phone numbre) and so do a few other websites like github, but it hasn't otherwise "taken over all logins" despite some big tech adoption.

But anyway your shilling worked and now I'm curious, redpill me on opaque and why it's supposed to be good.

>>106636428
Maybe I'm autistic but I consider "archiving" to mean "preserving for posterity, safeguarding the existence of the original material in the case the primary source goes down". For this you need to actually faithfully preserve the original material. I wouldn't call just saving a downscaled, cut down copy for your own personal convenience "archiving". But again maybe I'm just autistic.

>>106636480
if only disk space were infinite.
if it makes you feel better the downscaled version is an official part of the published work, and the actual original isn't available (youtube re-encodes the video that you upload even if the resolution is the same).

>>106626695
You verify the metadata before you download, or limit trackers
Some RSS options allow you to do REGEX or other means of sanity checking (ie file is between x and y GB)
Bittorrent is also quite good at finding seeds/peers if you have PEX and DHT on with probably >5 (actual) peers
And if they aren't a part of that swarm they get banned from that torrent for hash failures

I want to play my old PS3 on my new OLED TV, but all I'm getting is a black screen.
It works just fine on the old TV from 2012 and I've tried switching the HDMI cable to the one that came with my PS5 as well as resetting the video output.
Is this some bullshit incompatibility due to HDCP? If so what's my best option, it would be stupid if I can't connect my old console to my new TV.

what's best internal SSD for PS4? Googling shows that Samsung 860/870 Evo is go-to option but I'd like to know from fellow autists

>>106637396
looks like there's some difference between models, but you can't go wrong with a Samsung SSD, but anything will work fine

>>106637438
the thing with PS4 is that its SATA port is shit (SATA II iirc) so an expensive SSD may be an overkill for the system

>>106637396
Any sata 3 ssd that has 2tb or more (depending on your needs)
>>106637491
Technically correct, but sata 2 ssds cost more than sata 3 drives, but you should really only notice a different in performance on open world games.

>>106637591
>Any sata 3 ssd that has 2tb or more (depending on your needs)
muh speed and more gaems are my needs (currently on 1tb HDD)
also heard some stuff about 4tb SSDs being unstable on PS4, gotta research before getting one
>but sata 2 ssds cost more than sata 3 drives
lmao

>>106637625
I'm pretty much in the same boat, but I have a 2TB HDD. I'm holding out for the PS5, cause I might as well have 10 times the performance instead of 3 times the disk read/wright speed.

Very nice thing. I bought two Feitian USB authenticators for like $15 many years ago and still use them.
All the major websites support them and it's so much easier to press a physical button to authenticate than to open the OTP app, find the site, and type the code.

>>106636945
It should just work. I play the PS3 on an LG C2.

>>106637625
I'm not even aware of SATA II SSD drives even existing. I was mostly saying that Samsung is a good brand, and a 860/70 Evo isn't going to be that much more expensive than the alternative, plus you can use it in something else later even if your p4 is SATA II

I know a little C and have made simple programs before with it. I've played around with Raylib (using the beginner VSCode template) for a bit.
The problem is that I had to code everything in the same file because I didn't really understand how that template compiled my source code.
Naturally, adding / linking a different library was out of the question.
I tried to follow a tutorial on linking a library and I couldn't make it work...
How / where do I learn how to make a medium sized project in C, with multiple files and maybe a library?

>>106639044
think of libraries as specialised add-on functions or imagine a magic box that you put some data into, shake it and it spits out what you want to see
if you have a block of code and you're really happy with how well written and efficient it is, just turn that into a library for future use

What is the point of the "Copy Clean Link" function in the context menu in Firefox?
When I use it to copy a link from my watch list in YouTube, it only removes the &pp= parameter from the URL... but it still keeps
>&list=WL&index=22&t=4393s
it would have value if it removed everything from the URL after &...

>>106639188
it keeps it because it's a playlist and removing it will remove that information too. it's like you're trying to remove an index. time is also kept because maybe you want to link to that specific time in the video

How likely am I to destroy my CPU? Here's what I need to do, according to experts on the internet
1) unscrew the fan on top of my CPU
2) carefully take it out of the box
3) clean the leftover thermal paste on the CPU or something with rubbing alcohol
4) apply a tiny amount of thermal paste on the CPU or something
5) if I touch the pins? (haven't seen them yet) I have to move them back where they were slowly, or else the CPU is dead
6) put the fan back over the CPU
7) screw it in

Never done this before.

>>106639300
it's pretty easy, just don't bend the pins, you can touch them, they won't instantly shatter.

>>106639349
there might even be no pins at all if it's an AMD

if you want to unzip directly as the default program then I would probably look to see if there's an archive manager that provides a binary (exe) that does exactly that then set it as the default program to execute on the archive

What's the website name that give you color palette?

been using an AIO (nzxt kraken 360)
for the past few months and I had the pump itself set at a steady 50% because at this rate I don't hear any whine
I had to set it to 100% recently and noticed the whine this AIO produces is strangely loud at different intervals meaning
60-70% will have a whine
80-90% has the loudest whine
100% has a whine that comes and goes but is not the loudest

googling shows that all AIO's have a whine but some are more prominent than others

so how can I tell if this one is a bad product or just a regular part of the AIO?

for reference, running at anything higher than 50% produces a whine I can hear from across my room
can I keep this at 50% without worry?
too many people recommend to set it at 100% but I can't stand the noise

Legitimate interest meant they paid extra for the data. They probably don't have a legitimate interest, just bank on the fact that their claim might not be investigated. However, it gets suspicious when you have too much legitimate interest, so those spots are rare and thus expensive.

I have these bind for general use:
The most important binding: alt + tab or alt + ctrl+ tab (it keeps the menu open for you to select one)
The usual - refresh, back page, forward page
Home and end keys - to go quickly to the top and bottom of pages
back tab, forward tab, close tab, reopen last tab, open new tab
media keys - volume up, volume down, forward song, back song
video controls - back 10 seconds, forward 10 seconds, play/pause
Maybe a translate button
Open task manager
Open volume mixer
I also have a turbo click button which is occasionally useful.

I have more for some specific programs with lots of keybinds

A bit of both. KDE 4 was a disaster, and to this day Plasma 6 still needs garbage like SDDM which is so buggy it's not even funny.
Then the screen locker was crashing very often on Plasma 5, still not fixed.
Plasma 6 seems actually stable, but it still has no virtual keyboard and still relies on SDDM to log in.

Bugs are a fact of life for all software, but the KDE developers refuse to backport fixes so there is no such thing as "bugfix update", you either install the very latest KDE software or you have to live with the bugs of your current version forever.
