- Comment on Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux 1 hour ago:
If it’s a prebuilt and it’s the SSD that’s the problem then taking out the SSD probably won’t be an option. OP never said what PC it is, but I know some manufacturers will be ok with shipping just the ssd. Assuming you can narrow it down to just the SSD.
IDK OP, just contact their support and see what they say to diagnose it. Just wipe the drive before you send it off. They’re not going to do data recovery on your SSD, it’s not worth their time or money. They’re just going to replace it.

I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.
- Comment on Where can I buy used computers, and are they on a discount now because of Windows 10 end of life? 3 days ago:
eBay, FB marketplace, any other equivalent sell old junk site.
No, not really. Business stopped using machines not capable of running windows 11 almost 5 years ago. The end user who cares about it being EOL will install Linux. And the average user who doesn’t even know what EOL means won’t care.

Even the latest iOS has letters on the numbers.
That said I hated when they’d advertise their phone number with the letters vs the numbers. Sure it’s easier to remember. But the translation just never came easy to me.

I mean as long as you’re not being too stupid with your PC, and not like doing your taxes on the computer the risk is pretty low.

They do, it’s called “Windows Insider Program”
You don’t even have to be in it to partake!
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
I’m not saying drink a gallon right before bed. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, then slowly less and less until it’s about bed time. Then take a fat piss before you go to bed.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 1 week ago:
The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.
- Comment on I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider 1 week ago:
They’re random people I most likely have never seen before and probably won’t ever see again.
And why do you think that? Have you paid attention to the people around you? If you and another person get to work at the same time, and live in the same area then odds are you will encounter them again. There might be a million people in your city. But how many of them have the exact same commute as you?
Also so what if you never see them again on the train? What if you end up really liking them, get their number, and stay in contact?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
but can you easily run a Windows 7 app on Windows 10?
Yes? Pretty much anything made for XP and up will run on 11. Shit as long as the program is 32 bit it will probably run. Only exception is games, and that’s more just because hardware has moved on.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I mean no shit? Isn’t that why they emphasized by how these are the “free” ones?

Will the non remastered version run on original hardware? System requirements say Windows 10/11.
- Comment on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks 4 weeks ago:
If it’s anything like their windows driver support then also awful. Maybe things have improved in the last year or so, but has Qualcomm ever put real effort into making ARM Windows laptops good?

- Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now 4 weeks ago:
Also for the love of god talk to people while there.
Good job openings don’t stay public for long. They usually start internal, and work their way out slowly. Nepotism and cronyism are the best ways to get a good job. You can’t control the former, but you can the latter.
- Comment on Replacement PS/2 cable for IBM Model M keyboard? 1 month ago:
… wat? What’s with your hate for a keyboard?
Outside of missing the windows key there’s nothing wrong with the model M. PS/2 interface is fine too. Most boards support hotplugging it and it basically work or it doesn’t unlike USB which can get weird.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
105c is the max operating temperature. It’s not going to run away the second it hits 106.
Your CPU starts throttling at 104c so that way it almost never hits at 105c for long If it can’t maintain clocks then it drops them until 104c can mostly be maintained.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
Seagate has more than bad batches. When every single one of their 1tb per platter barracuda drives have high failure rates then that’s a design/long term production issue.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
Why? It’s designed to run up to 105c.
I think it was when AMDs 7000 series CPUs were running at 95c and everyone freaked out that AMD came out and said that the CPUs are built to handle this load 24/7 365 for years on end.
And it’s not like this is new to Intel. Intel laptop CPUs have been doing this for a decade now.
- Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels 1 month ago:
AMDs 7000 series CPUs were designed to boost until they hit 95c, then maintain those temps. 9000 series behaves differently for boosting, but the silicon can handle it.

Those 200gb games take a while to download, even on a gigabit internet connection.
- Comment on AI crawlers destroying websites in hunger for content 1 month ago:
Moreover, AI crawlers are much more aggressive than standard crawlers. As the InMotionhosting web hosting company notes, they also tend to disregard crawl delays or bandwidth-saving guidelines and extract full page text, and sometimes attempt to follow dynamic links or scripts.
So they’re just lazily programmed crawlers. Ironically trying to block them can cause web traffic to go up not down when people use more advanced methods to get around blocking. When you switch from a simple wget command ripping the bare page to a full blown chrome browser loading all the pictures, JS, and other junk that shit adds up.
- Comment on 👁️🐽👁️ 2 months ago:
It is the only part of the body without a blood supply. Instead, it receives nutrients via aqueous humor (the liquid between the cornea and vitreous).
Instead, oxygen dissolves in tears and then diffuses throughout the cornea to keep it healthy.[5] Similarly, nutrients are transported via diffusion from the tear fluid through the outside surface and the aqueous humour through the inside surface.
And because that seemed lacking still and I’m too dumb to figure it out ChatGPT’s response:
The palpebral conjunctival blood vessels and the capillaries of the eyelids supply oxygen to the tear film behind closed lids. Oxygen diffuses from these vessels into the cornea.

Because youtube was so much better in that regard?
Might sell your data in the future is a hell of a lot better than currently selling the shit out of your data. Nebula is a side grade in terms of privacy, but an upgrade in terms of creators not getting their shit deleted for no good reason.
- Comment on What are the most useful things you've printed? 2 months ago:
At work we have a bunch of phones that were just plugged in sitting at my desk randomly. I got tired of the mess and 3D printed a tower to put them in. Complete with trays to quickly slide them in and out, fans to keep them cool and, slide in filters for the fans.
I need to finish some last modifications before I share it all. But if anyone’s interest I’ll try to share the link.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 2 months ago:
Ah, good point. Forgot about that. That’s probably it.
The slight dip so far this month could be the beginning of the end of the summer Lemmy. Schools just started this week near me, and green is 30 day users so it should take 30 days for that to fully drop.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 2 months ago:
There’s a big spike during summer time. On reddit it was known as summer reddit. Basically all of the kids are out of school and have nothing better to do but shitpost online. Now they’re going back to school. It could be the lack of different users you’re noticing. Not sure why it dipped in July though, should have dipped in August.

They’ve gotten away with it for 10 years now. I’m sure they’ll continue to get away with it.
- Comment on Am I corrupting my data? 2 months ago:
If it’s an LSI card then make sure it’s either been flashed into IT mode, is capable of being flashed into IT mode, or is relatively modern and has that option built in.
What you really want is an HBA, but HBAs can be expensive, a raid card flashed to act as an HBA is typically much cheaper. A 6 gbit SAS card will do 3gbit sata, and no hard drive should be writing more than 3gbit. If you want to do SSDs then find a relatively more modern 12 gbit SAS card which will do 6gb sata.
I guess also look out for the REALLY old ones that won’t do over like 3tb. But I bought one of those for $20 almost 10 years ago so that shouldn’t be a concern. Those are probably all in the trash by now.
