I'm feeling like something's a bit wrong with my Palemoon browser, I used to be able to leave it running for weeks no problem, now I'm lucky if I can let it run for days before it starts having the "not responding" hiccups and forces me to restart it. Plus it's using a very high amount of power which I don't remember it doing.

My phone is a moto g stylus 2025, my first oled device. Is light short term image retention just normal for oleds? If I use certain apps with a chunk of the screen not lit up, for example watching YouTube with black bars on the sides because the screen is longer than the video, then a swap to an app with 1 color (like the tab page on mobile Firefox) I can visually still see where the bars on the video were because both sides are lighter than the middle where the video sits. No clue if this is normal or it means the screen is low quality/defective, and if this sort of thing will quickly lead to burn in.

>>109372980
the sides where the black bars were are brighter? not the center?
maybe the screen has told the middle-pixels (that had the video) to dim themselves more and more while the movie was playing, while the bar-pixels aren't instructed to be dimmed.
after changing to a blank page in firefox i assume the center fades back to the same color as the sides after a short while?

>>109373015
Actually now that I think about it I guess I'm not sure which side is brighter, they're clearly different tones of grey and it's not my eyes because if I move my head the divide where the bars were stay in the same spot, even if I angle the phone differently. They absolutely go back to normal after a few minutes yeah, and it goes back to the same color.

videos on an external drive will open in firefox but not in any media player unless I copy them from the external drive to the c drive first. any ideas how to fix this? So I can play the files directly from the external drive in firefox but not in any of the several media players I tried but those videos all work fine if copies directly to the desktop.

Depends entirely on what kind of games you play and what aspects you don't care about on a pc. I'm a stupid fucking gamer but I play on a cheap ass laptop because I basically only play retro games (given retro goes up even to like PS2) thanks to how easy emulating is with something like Retroarch. I doubt you mean that, but the specs you'll want for a competitive modern gamer vs casual indie focused modern gamer are completely different. Something like a basic Nitro V can play modern games without bankrupting you, but honestly the best advice is to figure out your budget and then watch for sales, don't buy something full price, wait for something to be overstocked on Amazon or something and them to drop the price a good chunk to move units.

Nope. But just to be clear. There is zero issue playing any of these files if I just copy them from the external drive to my c drive. Its just some random files wont open when I try to open them directly from the external drive. They copy over perfectly fine and then open perfectly fine after they have copied over. So I'm assuming there is more of an issue with the external drive than any sort of codec issue. The files that wont open are in long file path length folders. Files inside folders that are in folders in folders in folders etc etc.

I switched to a different A to C dongle and my device had to install its drivers again on windows 11. Why?

Is there software that can freeze/suspend a program/software so it uses zero or near zero system resources, and then allows me to un-freeze it, so I can just pause/suspend my internet browser without shutting it down and losing my half-finished posts, comments etc to play video games, then unfreeze it when I'm done playing the game?

I know Window's Task manager or process explorer allows you to do this with individual system processes, but web browsers have dozens to hundreds of seperate processes and even when I tried suspending all of them with process explorer which allows you to right click more then one at once, some of them refused to suspend or just un-suspended themselves.

Altrernatively, a tool that would allow me to shut down my internet browser but retain any half typed out, unsubmitted posts on 4chan, reddit, twitter etc when I restart my browser would solve the issue

i'm not sure what you mean by continued pipe, but in that command "pv /path/to/file | zstd" is run on the server (pv works like cat but has a nice progress/speed metre, using it here at the beginning means it can query the size of the file and give you %/ETA as well as speed), the "| sudo zstd -do /dev/sdz" part runs locally
together pv measures progress, pipes into zstd which compresses the data, it's sent over ssh, where it's decompressed directly into a block device

>>109383125
>dont use more than 80-85% of your disk
afaik it's only for HDDs and it's because of speed issues of reading the center of the platter.

It takes more spins to read the amount of data in the center as it does to read that amount on the outer edge.

>>109383125
it depends on the reasons behind it.
two reasons why you might want to do this off the top of my head;
- fragmentation; the close to full you get a volume, the more likely you are to created fragments when writing data
- pseudo-SLC cache, on most ssd's any unused space may be used for pseudo-SLC cache, which improves performance
either way it's wise not to keep a drive extremely full for long periods, whether it's a hdd or an ssd

>>109383125
>>109383226
oh, forgot to mention, for fragmentation, this requires you make a "100% size" volume, and only use 80% of it, a 80% size volume that is 100% full is as bad for fragmentation as a 100% size volume that is 100% full, as it's the "fullness" of the volume that matters for fragmentation

>>109383207
>>109383226
>>109383242
i see, thanks, i figured it was something like that otherwise making future partition would be fucked, ill resize the ones i made then

>>109383207
>>109383125
It's for SSDs as well due to write amplification, go full partition and only use 80% to be safe

>>109383207
SSD slows down at 50, and HDD can't defrag when over filled.

>>109383256
>ill resize the ones i made then
you're misunderstanding my posts, or i didn't explain it properly. don't make an 80% size volume, a 100% size volume is fine, just try not to fill it completely.

while a 100% size volume that is 80% full may seem identical to an 80% size volume that is 100% full, the latter is likely to have more fragmentation than the former.
you might think fragmentation doesn't matter with an ssd, but it does, just not to the same degree as with a hdd. badly fragmented data can bring a hdd to its' knees, while with an ssd it'll still slow down, just not as badly, but it will increase write amplification, which is unique to ssd's and bad in a different way, since ssd's have limited write cycles.

most people don't need to care much about any of this. the typical usage of drives is to format the full space and to not keep them completely full, which is what you should be doing anyway, which is why best practices is rarely mentioned.

>SSD slows down at 50
Maybe the shit you buy on aliexpress does.

>>109383356
i see, i'd assume most people would have made 100% size volumes as that is typical.
having 20% unallocated does guarantee space for pseudo-slc cache (for ssds), but so does just not using all the space (any TRIMmed/discarded space counts, it doesn't need to be "unallocated to a partition"). not using all the space (from a filesystem perspective) also provides benefits for fragmentation, so to the best of my knowledge, an 80% full 100% size volume is better than a 100% full 80% volume. and that's only counting the technical benefits, practically it's also nice that say if you find you temporarily need to exceed that 80% full, you can do so on the spot, just try not to keep it completely full for long periods. it doesn't actually hurt even an ssd to keep it 100% full, just expect degraded write performance when doing so, and possibly also degraded read performance if you keep it near-full persistently (as if you keep modifying things while it's nearly full, fragmentation is likely to keep getting worse)

Never thought about this problem.
I searched for "protect pc against salt" and seems like there aren't any great solutions.
Running a dehumidifier next to your computer may help.
There's also supposed to be some kind of spray that you can put on your electronics as a protective coating but it goes away over time. Don't know what spray they talked about, one site said you can use WD40 but I would quadruple check that claim before I spray that on any electrical component...

Is CompSci the only degree where you have to build a complex project, document how you built that project, and then also write a paper and also a video presentation? Finance majors only need to write a shitty paper and they get similar salaries to software engineers. This is such BS. The financial sector has a very close median salary to the one in IT from what I found out.

>>109384297
i don't have a solution for you, only experience working on a friends' computer who lives near the beach on the gold coast (australia). i've cleaned up his computer a few times, but man, living within eyeshot of the surf is hell on sensitive electronics, i've visited his apartment and it doesn't seem out of the ordinary in-person for a brief visit, but his pc certainly feels it. i've previously wire-brushed and spray-painted its' fan grills but the last time i worked on it i went for a case replacement due to the rust. his fans died so quickly that each time he got me to work on it required most of the fans to be replaced.
i wish i knew of a way to protected computers from salty/ocean air, but i don't, i just know that you can expect greatly reduced lifespans from computers when exposed to such air. the amount of rust i saw from his machine was unreal compared to the more in-land stuff i'm used to

/g/ I need some lowlevel help.
I run windows 10 LTSC and about 5 years ago I turned off my windows updates using Local Group Policy Editor with the intention of not upgrading to windows 11.
My question is: If I managed to revert these changes - which I'm unsure how to do - and update windows, will I be whisked away to windows 11 or will it just update my windows 10?

The reason I'd like to do that is because I can't download shit off the xbox app anymore without a particular windows update.
And also as time goes on I find some of these updates might be required.
What do?

>>109385387
>will I be whisked away to windows 11 or will it just update my windows 10?
it's a windows 10 update, it'll update windows 10

>>109385439
So what the fuck did i do this for 5 years ago? Was it just because everyone was afraid of being force-updated to windows 11?
If this is the case how do I undo this shit and update regularly again.

Dolphin used to have a configuration option where you could set different trash options per drive, but I no longer see it. There's just a single page which I assume is a system-wide config.
I know there's still per-drive configurations in place, because I can see them in the ~/.config/ktrashrc file.
Why can I no longer see the per-drive config in the Dolphin configuration GUI? Was this functionality removed in a somehwat recent update?

>>109385484
idk depends on what you did you could try getting winaero tweaker pretty sure there's an option there to enable/disable updates maybe it uses the same method as you did there should also just be an option to unpause updates in the windows settings program

Windows update auto restarts are annoying so maybe that's why. That said, there's a separate policy to allow updates but prevent auto restarts (so it'll only update and restart when you want it to)

I don't mind restarting, but at the time i remember everyone fear mongering that your Windows 10 would auto-update to windows 11 which is why i did that.

I enjoy living on the road and camping a lot and I want to replace my desktop PC with something adequate that can do digital art and play some video games, watch some shows, etc. with a decent screen size and battery life under 1.5k in price.
I've been looking at a few ASUS laptops, but I don't really use laptops or tablets much so I don't really know what would be the best option for this. My priority is being able to run krita and do art without lag, along with having a long battery life since I'll have to charge it with my fold out solar panel, 50k capacity battery packs, or my 4runner's battery while running it.

My brother has lived similar and he recommends a tablet, but I really prefer KB+M setups and I know I'll regret it if I don't get something I can at least play TF2 and PoE on.

I had a steamdeck and it was okay but I gifted it to my friend who had just gotten their own job and apartment since they couldn't afford anything to game on and had a pretty shit life up to that point. It was okay but I felt like it was kind of laggy and got really hot. Had a pretty decent battery life but I would need some kind of monitor setup and a hub for KB + M and all this other shit to make it something I'd want to use on the road, I feel like just a decent laptop would do better for my lifestyle even if it wasn't able to run newer stuff.

Yeah when I asked about the PS4, they answered that since we are in an island, this kind of salt issue is super common. It isn't like I'm right on the beach, but I'm not far-off either. And one friend of mine that lives closer says each 2 years he has that issue.
Problem is as I said, my room is packed in a way the PC has to be against the window. On paper, great for cooling, in practice this means it will have more exposure over time.
Since I learned that, every time I go away from my room I cover it just to be safe, but now I started fearing the salt.

In Vivaldi, Twitter is randomly not loading sometimes on my laptop:


The refresh/loading icon in the browser will show the page as has loaded, yet the screen will still be black or it will just have the X logo. Sometimes mashing refresh will get it to load right maybe 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 times if I happen to stop hitting refresh on the right instance, but other times it stays broken regardless of refreshes for like 20-30 mins. Seems to apply to all/most tabs at once, too

I've tried clearing my browsing data, uninstalling my extensions, and that seems to help sometimes but not all the times.

What can I do to troubleshoot this? With the developer tools menu open I do see some warnings and errors, but I'm not sure how to actually use that info. Is there an export option there I can use to post those warnings/errors here for anons to look at and glean some info from?

I’m still using the same shitty 15$ headset I got for a wfh job, the only downside is the cable got kinked from fidgeting with it autistically, so I have to bend it back into precise place if hearing to one ear is dead.
I dunno how to fix my hyperX (200$+) headphones I’ve had for years, both ears worked fine, then one suddenly dropped dead, the other ear worked for a little bit, then both went silent and I haven’t bothered dealing with the braided cable or checking for breaks in the wire.
Now that I think about it, there wasn’t really a difference between the two, the HyperX had fancy audio “spatial” filters and a neat little USB dongle, but I think I’d still stick with my cheapo headset since they’re both the same spatial hearing wise.

why aren't audio webms a thing on all boards if you have to go out of your way to unmute them anyway

What could cause occasional loss of signal on a RS232 port? The device that's plugged in isn't even a year old, i've already replaced the cable with a shorter one. PC is air gapped, i rule out windows updates. No powerful EM near it anyway, as far as i know.

Anybody have any guesses on what's going on here?

Worth noting that x.com ALWAYS loads fine, but say x.com/home or specific tweets have the occasional not loading issue. Signing out and trying to view a tweet will also have it always load fine, but when I log back in the issue starts again

I'm also having an occasional issue where after moving a tab, all the tabs expand and start to phase into the exit/minimize/expand buttons on the top right of the screen, where then switching between tabs doesn't change which tab is highlighted, and all the web pages freeze and that persists even after refreshing the tabs. Changing the tab bar to vertical and back to horitzontal fixes the tab bar issues but not the web pages being frozen, I need to make a new tab and reopen the page on there for each tab rather then refreshing the open tabs

There is one thing a laptop should never ever do and that's to wake up while in my backpack and cook itself alive as the battery drains, so I can't even use it when I need it.
Second to that is to not wake up from sleep because some random driver for the fingerprint scanner didn't respond in time.

>My last build is a DDR4 one and the RAM slots only had a latch on the other side so it was kind of hard to install them compared to older builds.
Modern motherboards tend to have a "static" side and a side that can "unlock". That's normal. The only way you can fuck up the physical installation of RAM is putting it in the wrong way, but it should be obvious to you if you compare the length of the pins on the stick to the length of the slot. You literally have a 50/50 chance it's facing the right way and cannot be installed otherwise (just like how USB plugs in, only one way).

Most of the difficulty with RAM is making sure the clock speeds all match up, and that's something you need to research before even buying RAM. However, I don't know if that's getting too technical for you. tl;dr you want the "CL" and "Mhz" numbers to match your existing RAM, preferably (if they don't match, all the existing RAM will "clock down" to the speeds of the slowest RAM sticks).

>>109400006
best: domesday duplicator + vhs-decode
next best: "CX" card + vhs-decode
next best: decent SVHS deck with TBC + s-video capture card

basically, if you really want the absolute best, look up vhs-decode, it is involved and requires hardware modding, but at least you don't need to find any particular VCR model. this also supersedes the old ideals of using an svhs deck and a separate TBC (time-base converter) since vhs-decode does all that in software. while it's more work to set up, it's actually one of the cheaper options outside of using a cheap shit composite capture device with any vcr (which is basically guaranteed to give ass results)
