PUFFED PACK QUESTION

I left my phone in my car for a few hours last Friday. When I got it out, the back had been torn off and had maybe an eighth of an inch gap to the phone chassis. IOW the battery had swollen enormously.

I assumed that meant it was fucked and was about to buy a replacement off Amazon but the swelling has gone down almost completely. I didn't even know that was possible.

Is this a sign that there is a leak? Should I replace the battery anyway? Or is this normal and I shouldn't worry about it?

i have only ever used linux mostly desu. internally, what makes windows different, how does it work? how does a windows startup look like under the hood? why is windows? does windows have any neat technical tricks or feats?

I have a spare S20FE 5G.
Is it possible to use it as a tv box for playing 4k hdr remuxes on my oled?

I want to download all film+tv subtitles in a giant database.

Similarly, I want to download all music lyrics in a giant database.

Ideally, not as a singular file but split for every few GB.

Any idea how to acquire these without scraping manually?

Hello niggers, why does an executable called from the PATH not work but going directly to the directory and calling it from there works

You mean like partitioning your drive with let's say 100GB partition for Windows and the rest for D:\? Makes sense if and when you want to nuke your Windows installation you can still keep your animes on D:\ drive.

Not exactly; I run Fedora 44 Workstation, and I just setup Windows 11 in Boxes last night for the hell of it. Setup an offline account, and using a debloating tool to remove a bunch of garbage. Probably going play Runescape on it at some point. Though, if I dual-boot, I can use more hardware, and run games that require anti-cheat, and maybe get back into FL Studio. I currently do my gaming on a playstation, and do my web browsing and host a few servers from my desktop.

Follow up to this for anyone who cares, I ended up settling on Handy with the Moonshine Base model.
Total file size including the model is about 200MB. About 60MB of ram at idle, spiking up to a bit over a hundred during transcribing. Much more lightweight than the other piece of crap I was using, and it seems pretty accurate.

Any lightweight FOSS image viewer for windows that isn't malware? somehow the microjeets found a way to make their in-house photo viewer in w10 spike power and resource consumption under certain circumstances, I disabled that shit and my computer noticeably runs better but I'm stuck opening photos in paint.net now.

Are you asking how to host your VM image other than have it as a one big file? Yes, you can do a physical drive partition and assign that to your VM. Or do a Logical Volume Group on that partition and splice some volumes for your random VMs, I assume that's the smart way to do it.
(also remember to give your Windows VM the virtIO driver CD when installing so you can install it onto a virtIO drive instead of emulating SATA or whatever (what you do is give the VM two optical drives, one containing the Windows installer DVD and the other containing the virtIO driver CD))

>>109418148
No, I'm asking if it's worth having a dual boot if I will almost never use Windows.

>>109418145
Not FOSS, but the old windows 7 photo viewer still ships even on modern windows if that interests you. You can easily enable it with a couple registry keys.

I'm afraid that I might have copied a line of code that had too many functions in a sequence and might trigger as plagiarized by the college software plagarism checker. I might get a 0 for it. I've to wait 1 month now until I get the results. I'm sweating bullets. Fuck CompSci so fucking much. This plagiarism thing is such bullshit because coding is nothing like writing a paper in English. You're much more limited to the variance and the fact that english is spoken to you from the day you're born so your English vocab is much much larger than your knowledge in code.

You aren't "installing" anything, you are flashing an ISO image.

I did that with a custom kernel. Could give you some pointers but it will require some heavy neckbearding:
-embed some features into the kernel image: USB support along with SCSI support, support for the filesystem in question
-embed the boot parameters into the image: "root=PARTUUID=blah rootwait"
And when it's finally compiled, place the image at \\EFI\boot\bootx64.efi
Had such a system on picrel, can't remember the partition layout exactly but I quess it was: small FAT32 EFI system partition, small'ish EXT4 for Linux and rest of the drive as exFAT for generic use and carrying data around.

>Why don't people just default to surge protectors if they need an extension cord
You're getting confused because I'm an idiot, I need a UPS for power outages, I already have a surge protector plugged in, I learned never to plug in electronics you care about directly into the wall in my early teens.

Is there like a dock or a station I can buy that comes with overcharge protection built in so I don't overcharge electronics that don't have overcharge protection built in?
>Just unplug them when its charged!
Sometimes I forget I'm charging things when other stuff I need to do comes up so I'd like the ability to just leave it plugged in and not have to worry that I'm destroying my electronics.

>>109439670
docks just feed 5v/whatever to whatever charging circuit the device has
i don't think you can limit charge without having access to the battery voltage of the target device at the very least

>>109438348
Sound like it's running out of memory. This might not be a firefox problem, it might be another program or even OS level. I've had this problem on Win10, I suspect it was related to WSL, and the problem didn't even show in the task manager because the memory would get hogged at the hypervisor level. I would just restart because I was too lazy to deal with it.

Tips on how to use a virtual machine? I want to use windows 7 but i don't want to pay for the license

>>109439860
So there only way to have overcharge protection is to have it onboard? There's no way a charging device can monitor the velocity of the current and notice a slow down when fully charged?

>>109440288
you could look at the current dropping to near zero and disable power at that point, but then the problem becomes different
1. devices will keep sipping current to sustain themselves instead of running on battery while connected, depending on the device you wouldn't find a suitable cut off point without messing with the charging process itself
2. devices that will pull no current after being charged will eventually self-discharge to a point of requesting the full charging current to trickle charge for a fraction of a second

the correct solution is to either:
1. not worry about the 'damage'
2. adjust habits
3. learn soldering, pcb making to make a custom charging circuit
4. mess with an oscilloscope and a microcontroller, callibrating variables until it fits most of your usecases

>>109439413
Because wall plug surge protectors aren't worth shit unless it's a whole-ass power conditioner. Everything that needs a MOV already has one, and they're trying to get away from even needing them.

Not a problem, just curious why. I backup my files to two places: a usb flashdrive, and a laptop hdd in an external enclosure that connects via usb. Copying the same files to the flashdrive takes SIGNIFICANTLY longer than to the HDD. Why's that? (with the ports and devices being used, the actual type of usb connection is not a factor here)

I want to "buy a laptop", in the stupid naive retardo way of an old xoomer who hasn't used a laptop in 10-2X years. Is there any hope of being able to install a basic Windows 10 LTSC iso on a modern laptop and have it justwerk? My memories of laptops back in the day was that driver support sucked ass if you didn't just use it with the pre-installed OS out of the box, but then every single thing installed on it would be malware. I don't want win11 ever, but I need a machine for windows dev.

How do you properly use an LLM?

Any question I ask seems to produce half-assed results while anyone else gets extremely helpful outputs.

Like, when I ask "List all Samsung SSDs with capacity, average price, connector and speeds" it derails 25% through the response or provides incomplete data.

Did something happen to chrome or specifically youtube on chrome very recently?
Noticed lag and unresponsiveness on chrome in the past week when going between tabs, and when I briefly try it on firefox it seems fine.
Searching around others don't seem to have any issues.
Didn't seem related to extension updates like ublock lite origin, but maybe I wasn't too thorough while testing.

I'll probably finally do the switch and get on firefox as main, but still curious if there's a very obvious answer to something changing recently.

the container/codec lets you change resolution on any frame, so people take full advantage of it for the memes

Incorrect
>>109446682
If I remember right, webm being a streaming format, it's possible to seamlessly merge multiple videos into one container. Those are made by splitting a video into several fragments, saving them at different resolutions, and stitching them back together.

>>109444958
It's not ideal. The case should be grounded via your outlet's ground wire.

>>109444958
Most likely the outlet has a bad ground connection. Try it with a 2 prong adapter and see if it goes away. If it doesn't that means there's a line side wiring fault in the PC. Which would actually be pretty dangerous.

You need to check the seed/leech ratio: if there are far more leechers than seeders, the seeders won't be able to serve everyone at top speed. The available bandwidth gets divided among the leechers until more seeders become available.

As you download parts of the file, you automatically start sharing the pieces you already have with others so they can download them too - and the same goes for everyone else.

For you to have such a high seed/leech ratio, it’s probably a file with low overall availability. You can check the availability in your client's stats to see how many people actually have the file at 100%. If that number is low or zero, it explains your ss, or what least is what I’m assuming is going on.

Good evening gents
I have this amd driver error that's driving me insane since i haven't been able to fix it for fuckin years now, any help will be truly appreciated.
I've got a windows 11, and an MSI laptop that's running rx6600m. It's not the best but been good enough for me. For about 2/3 years now, everytime i try to update the AMD driver i get an error 1603 by amd. When i use the AMD repair tool it momentarily fixes the issue by uninstalling the driver and downloading the latest one. But just after restart the screen becomes "glitchy" and choppy, as if it is lagging. And for some reason windows immediately starts auto installing a new display driver which is the old driver that causes the error 1603. After windows installs the older driver the laggy screen returns to normal.
I hope i adequately described my issue for someone to help me, PLEASE.

>internet fine this morning
>leave for work for about 4 hours
>come back, no connected internet "unidentified network"
>windblows telling me "ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration"

>reinstall network drivers
interestingly, plugging the ethernet to a laptop has it work
so the problem appears to be the pc itself, could it be possible that the hardware fried itself? how would that even happen between waking up from sleep?
though i do wonder if its a windows 10 and mobo issue, apparently the mobo doesn't natively support wifi for windows 10 and i had to nab a driver from dell
then again i've had this thing for over a year and this is my first time encountering this issue

cheap flash drives are slow as fuck since they use the worst quality flash chips.
look into chip binning to learn more, but basically good chips are hard to make, so they come out with varying quality, the best ones are sold in high end devices, while the bad ones end up in low end devices, which is how you can get fast 128G ssd's and slow as fuck 128G usb drives.

what's a good way to secure a jellyfin server? i want to help a friend open his so friends/family can use it, but i don't trust them to set good passwords. is there host-based whitelisting or something that can be done? ip-based doesn't make much sense these days

>>109457675
yeah, wouldn't recommend opening up ports on a non tech person's household. Use something like Tailscale instead and add the jellyfin server to the tailnet.

>>109457675
Create a separate network segment for the jellyfin server and have him join his household LAN to it over VPN. Ask AI for examples. I would never directly expose any of these household web apps to the internet.

>>109457731
a vpn is what i'd use for my own stuff, but i can't really do that for the people who might use it. i'd have enough trouble guiding them through installing wholphin on their tv's alone.
even if i wanted to, how would that work? they don't have home servers or an openwrt router i could setup vpn software on

>>109457779
Any computer on the network can function as a VPN gateway. It's marginally more convenient if it's the router, but you can just add a static route to whatever device has the VPN connection.

>>109457855
seems the wireguard android app can run on android tv's, though i'm not sure how easy it'd be to teach someone to use it before opening wholphin. i agree this'd be the safest option.
i saw other options like totp, fail2ban, known bad ip blacklists, but unlike a vpn they wouldn't save it if jellyfin had a vuln that didn't require logging in. there's also some authenticating reverse proxy stuff which i haven't looked into before (all my own stuff is over ssh or wg only), but idk if wholphin supports something like that

>>109457984
It would need to be a computer where you have pretty good control over the network stack. You probably don't want his Android TV just fencing all its network traffic off your internet, and that would probably break apps in his house anyway.

>>109458143
you misunderstand, i'm talking about a home server i've setup for a friend at his own place, not my own server. also i'm not intending to route internet traffic through wireguard, unless you're saying the android wg app only supports making itself the default gateway and not an independent network like how i'd normally use it

>>109458203
looks like "wg tunnel" has everything i'd need to do this over wireguard for android tv's. not as convenient as just using wholphin but probably should just use a vpn. i saw lots of options it's probably not going to be any more convenient to use. wg tunnel set to auto start with split tunneling set to only apply to wholphin should be easy to use though i'd say i'll have to visit people to set it up for them, which i'd prefer to have avoided

please tell me that im just retarded and that there is a simple way to do this....

>>109458367
firefox uses system codecs. on linux this means ffmpeg, hevc aupport depends on if you built ffmpeg with hevc support or not. on windows hevc support is officially a paid addon. i don't use windows so don't know if there are other options for you, just explaining why

I have one laptop and I got a new laptop with a same-sized SSD. I want to just clone my current SSD into the new one and go from there.
What's the easiest way? Right now in my mind the way to do it is dd my disk onto a temporary external drive with enough space (about ~1.5GB) and then DD that external drive onto the new laptop's SSD. But is there a way to do it laptop-to-laptop directly?

My root system is btrfs so I could also maybe set up the partitions and filesystems on the new drive and then btrfs-send it, but I'd need to replicate the partitions manually and then manually handle each subvolume, while dd-ing the drive just works to copy everything in one go. Hmm.

>>109458367
I haven't used windows in several years either, but I am 99% sure you never actually need to buy those codecs, it's just an idiot trap.

>>109458400

>>109458422
Something like netcat sounds like it should work, thanks, I always forget this exists

>>109458408
i'd be surprised if just installing ffdhow/klite or whatever the go-to codec packs are nowadays won't work. it's just a lot of people use vlc or mpv nowadays which both use their own copy of ffmpeg on windows rather than registering directshow codecs

>>109458408
>>109458436
>>109458384


i have already installed klite full package and Firefox still doesn't seem to find the HEVC codec

why is Firefox doing this shit? why can't i just point it to use ffmpeg?

>>109458465

If you think Windows is perfect and blameless then buy the $1 codec goy, it's the official Microsoft solution for the problem

>>109458710
the official solution to the problem would be that Mozilla changes 3 lines of code and allows to use local codecs

they have no legal reason to require you to use the official MS codec

>>109444524
>Don't the owners of these websites get paid to host ads?
They're paid per view or per click. In either case, using adblock means they get nothing.

>>109458732
then change the 3 lines of code yourself anon?
Mozilla doesn't ship a HEVC decoder because it isn't a web format and it can open them up to patent trolls, which that second reason is also why microsoft doesn't ship it for free anymore

>>109458924
are you pretending to not understand the problem?
Mozilla doesnt need to ship the codec, it just needs to look for a local codec or just look for ffmpeg.

also i looked it up and linux has the same problem, you have to fuck around with codec to make HVEC work on Firefox

>>109458952
>are you pretending to not understand the problem?
no
>Mozilla doesnt need to ship the codec, it just needs to look for a local codec or just look for ffmpeg.
This is what it does, as I said there used to be a free version of the HEVC codec in the microsoft store in addition to the $1 option, the free one is what I use now

>also i looked it up and linux has the same problem, you have to fuck around with codec to make HVEC work on Firefox

Linear tactile and clicky are still the main categories and you should be able to find linears easily. Creamy/thocky are placebo descriptions of sound, silent should be self-descriptive (comes with some silencing mechanism like dampeners - doesn't exist on clickies), lubed means factory lubed (a good thing unless you're autistic enough to want to lube them yourself which is retarded)
Weight is determined by spring strength, decent switch listings will often list both the activation force and bottom-out force, though springs are pretty standard and can be swapped (if you can be bothered to open a few dozen switches and swap the springs)

Ask in /mkg/ for actual recs, "a light linear switch" is a perfectly normal thing to ask for and should easily get you some good answers

If you genuinely don't need a lot then yeah sure
Main downsides you have to use macos and only 8GB memory. For just watching videos and browsing social media both of those should be entirely fine

If I can't get it to work and I take it to a PC repair shop, can I give them the PC without the SSD/boot drive?

I use my hosts file to block some porn boorus and stuff, it's obviously not foolproof but the fact that it requires an extra ~20 seconds to enter my sudo password, edit the file etc. is often enough to stop myself from impulsively opening it to look at anime girls at random times of day
Is there anything similar I can do on a non-rooted android phone (so no actual hosts file access), without using the android VPN feature (because I use an actual VPN and android still to this day only supports a single active VPN provider)? And without being some ad-ridden closed source spyware masquerading as a helpful app.

How does anyone get into irc without leaking their shit? Every guide, link or whatever I found is so convoluted and directly contradicts things I read before, it feels overwhelming.

>>109428758
vim, but not neovim, and the price for that, is that both emacs and vim are way shittier to set up than neovim

>>109466633
Seems like a software issue so I'm not sure what giving them the computer without the OS drive is going to do

>>109466648
What do you mean leaking your shit? The only thing IRC leaks by default is your IP address, and modern servers don't display that. Hiding it is called cloaking. If you're not sure then just use a VPN to guarantee safety until you figure out how it works.
It's not like an IP address is hyper sensitive though, unless you're afraid some kid will DDoS your home or something

IRC is decades old and while the protocol is system the software around it and the typical practices have definitely changed over the years so a lot of stuff might be outdated or specific only to some server types or whatever

>>109428758
Better for what? Emacs is by far the best at what it does. Other things are "leaner" at the cost of being less flexible.

>>109466650
Genuine question why not neovim? I know it has its issues but I don't know of any advantage vim has over it.

Anyone here pass both CompTIA A+ exams? How did you do it? I'm watching Professor Messer and taking notes on everything I don't know

>>109466676
>Seems like a software issue
I see. I feel totally defeated. Surely someone out there has had the same issue and been able to fix it themselves.

How do you faggots organize your meme galleries? On one hand I want to keep posting memes on 4chan, on the other converting to png often increases size beyond 4mb.
>just leave it as jpg
I'm concerned about quality loss.

Do you anons just have separate folders or something? How to keep things from getting messy?

>>109467044
How are you going to lose quality nigga? Saving a jpeg as a jpeg doesn't apply a second jpeg compression to the jpeg you're not recompressing it by downloading it. Saving a jpeg as png and then saving it as jpeg on the other hand will do this

>ip temporarily blocked for abuse at home
>must be neighbors or a tard sharing my ip
>use verify email address for session
>get email and enter captcha
>valid or expired

I know I answered these captchas correctly. But they always say it is invalid or expired.
This has started recently happening.
What is going on? I use incognito chrome because a housemate doesn’t like the browsing history cleared for whatever reason.

Any fix to this? How long do I have to wait for the temporary block to go away?
Is this a shadow ban because a sperg kept messing around on the ip?

Posting from work computer before clocking in btw will check later.

why the FUCK does RED think I am unreachable?
I'm running qbittorrent on my home server with gluetun as a vpn. qbittorrent is using the same port that gluetun is forwarding to it but this "Unreachable" notification has been on my page since yesterday.
I've tried restarting qbittorrent and gluetun containers and it's still there.
WTF.

>>109467280
The new "trust" system with the captcha/cookies is absolute ass cancer. "IP temporarily blocked for abuse" doesn't actually mean your entire IP was blocked, it means that browser's cookies (in combination with your IP) are now no longer trusted and so 4chan blocks your browser.
I have no idea how to regain "trust", I guess you have nothing to lose by resetting the cookies but there's zero guarantee that brand new fresh cookies will be in any way better.

There have been many many questions in /sqt/ in recent weeks/months from people who, for example, can post on one desktop browser but cannot post on their phone, or vice-versa, or can post on one browser but not another.
Yes it's extremely cancerous but I'm not aware of anything that can be done. Buying passu probably helps. Or move to an altchan or something lmao.

>use verify email address for session
>captcha invalid or expired
This I'm not sure, I have no idea how verifying your email works when you lack trusted cookies. It could be yet more fuckery still intentionally preventing you from posting, or it could be the captcha genuinely being broken in this case. Try later maybe, or try in a different browser with the same verified email.

Best mobile browser for non-malware, privacy, and functionality? How's Waterfox?

Working at a small startup. There is a piece of shit legacy software we have to use, that our team needs access to occasionally. It requires windows to run. Most of the team are on mac or linux, so we're looking at some sort of virtual desktop solution so whichever one of us needs to access it at any given point can just login and go.

At my previous job, we used amazon workspaces, but those are both slow and expensive. Are there any better solutions currently?

>>109469218
A VM would be my choice. Does the startup really absolutely have to use it (since presumably everyone in the startup is equally annoyed, and it's not mandated by higher-ups)?

A decade ago I worked in a web shop making government SaaS and we had to (manually) test our shit on Internet Explorer and Edge (I remember our office literally celebrating when our company officially dropped support for IE6). For this we downloaded official VM images off microsoft and just ran them in virtualbox. It was slow as SHIT because everyone had like 2014-era macbooks that would thermal throttle the moment you opened two google chrome tabs and running the entirety of Windows 10 in a VM brought them to their knees, but with a modern laptop it really should be very feasible.

Chrome removed UBo again today.
Any workarounds yet?

nextdns. not the app, just the secure dns setting

>>109469257
yeah unfortunately, it's a tool that is a defacto monopoly in the industry we service, which we "have" to maintain an integration with

will see if I can spin up a W10 or W11 VM that will run it "good enough" but unfortunately it does need updated every couple of months so someone will have to maintain the VM - that's why I was hoping a virtual desktop somewhere would be viable

>>109469627
Just make a snapshot you boot from. Maintaining it should be as simple as opening the VM, updating the tool, and making a new snapshot for everyone to use.
It's annoying but it doesn't sound like the end of the world, since it's mandatory.

>>109469345
The non-lite version? You can always get the releases off of the github release page and install the extension manually
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.73.0

>>109470208
If you dont mind, could you help out a retard (me) with doing that? From what Im seeing all v2 workarounds are gone with this update.

>>109470244
Then you will have to use the lite version of the extension. Chromium is crap anyway

>>109470427
I know but I got all my shit saved on chrome with cookies and shit.
Also Im one of those whores that has a billion tabs and I hate how other browsers do it.

just stop using sleep mode anon
sleep mode in windows is dogshit

My nintendo switch has been sitting on the charger mount for like idk 4 years? I thought the battery was going to be horrible for sure but it seems to retain energy just fine and I can play for hours. How the fuck is this possible? How is my battery still kicking after being in sleep mode in the charger 24/7 for 4 years?

>>109471897
charge cycles are what cause most wear on batteries

if it's consistently bypassed the battery and designed properly, it's mostly been unused so you aren't losing much capacity over time

>>109471897
Use batteries that are well characterized, don't set the charge point too high, and don't touch the battery while it's in the charging cradle unless it drifts more than like 5-10% off the charge point. The only reason lithium batteries don't last 10-20 years in everything is mfgs keep trying to scam adults on battery life specs.

scripting language advantages
>often simpler syntax (the interpreter takes care of everything so you can write less code)
>sometimes come with live environments/REPL for interactive writing
>don't need to bother compiling as long as you have the interpreter (one less step when running a quick script, no worrying about linking and binary compatibility if distributing to others)

compiled language advantages
>almost universally more performance when doing the same thing
>not related to compilation, but coincidentally often come with stronger type systems so you it might be easier to avoid bugs in your program

In other words if you don't need performance at all, then pick whatever language makes it easiest to write
For quick scripts interpreted languages make it a lot easier to just whip something up and execute it, or even piece it together in a REPL. For shit that will be doing lots of work and you want it to be done fast, you'll need to compile it. There's a relatively wide grey area in-between where in medium sized projects, a scripting language's features provide little advantage but you don't really need max performance either, and then you literally just pick whatever language you prefer writing or reading

>>109472778
Use them when you are most likely just running other programs, collecting their outputs and making sense of them. Or when you are writing simple utilities.

Otherwise, USE COMPILED LANGUAGES.

>>109472778
Use scripting languages by default and only engage with the compiler when script bindings are unsatisfactory. As in not concise enough or too much overhead. Sometimes I'll start out writing a bash script and end up kicking it over to python where there are better bindings, or write a tiny helper program in C that makes the exact API calls I want and relays the results in a way I know won't change. Or kick python over to C or rust if I care about being able to handle literally every possible error case.
