It’s based on the speed limit of the road. Yellow means proceed if safe or stop if safe. The faster it is the longer the yellow. And usually the longer the time between it turning green on the other side should you pull a whoopsie.

Just because you can type that fast doesn’t mean you should.

Do you even care about the things you’re posting?

I ran ESXi on an a ThinkPad W520 for years with no issues. Make sure you set a battery charge limit or else that battery will be toast in no time. A UPS is insane overkill. A laptop battery will long outlast the UPS batteries. Not just run time, but in terms of degradation. even without the charge limit.

Swap would probably destroy that thing. And be unbearably slow.

I agree with the others, a rescue partition type thing is probably the best option.

The case around it does. That’s what I want to replace.

That brings up my following question.

If the thumb sticks are capacitive and they wear smooth over time how do you replace them? Are the capacitive sensors under stick caps? Do you just have to replace the rim only?

I want someone to make a slow charger with PPS to compare them. My phone on a “slow charger” gets about as hot as when I use a fast charger with PPS. But a fast charger without PPS and it gets extremely hot and slows down charging a lot. Especially when I leave it on my bed. That definitely is not good for it’s health. They charged their phones in little stands which gets them plenty of airflow to keep them cool.

It looks like the iPhone 12 doesn’t support PPS. Fast charging could be even better if they used a device that supports it.

Some people are just absurdly lazy.

Also what kind of kit does op have? A sim card ejector, a metal brush, a q tip thing, half a zip tie, and some adhesive things? Any thin plastic shim will work perfectly, and sometimes even a stiff plastic bristle brush works well.

1000 horses sounds cooler than 735 electrical pixies a second.

Like this?

Pro pro tip: make sure the edge of the sink isn’t wet before you do that. Unless you like looking like you peed yourself.

If you want a player with video out it’s almost guaranteed to not have any USB out for copy protection reasons. But a random PC plus the USB drive of your choice will fit both requirements.

Touchpads are hard. Well good touchpads are hard. Especially small ones. Just look at laptops. Besides Apple it took like 20 years for them to get good. And even then they still suck randomly.

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 just to decline the warranty, it’s not worth their time or money. They’re just going to replace it.

Most antenna towers aren’t saucer shaped.

They just reused an existing building which happened to fit a fuck ton of antennas on it nicely. Most tall buildings will have some sort of antennas on them.

I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.

There’s no reason why Linux would be immune to this. If anything you’re probably not running any AV on Linux so if you did get infected you’d probably never notice until it starts being a pain.

Any GPU made in the last 10 years with will have displayport 1.2 which will do 4k 60. That’s Radeon 6000 series (2010) or Nvidia 600 series (2012)

Just browse FB marketplace, or your local used junk suppliers and sort by price low to high. New low end GPU prices are insane, don’t spend that money on them.

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.

You don’t have to quit cold turkey.
