I spent my weekend driving out to my grandparents place to fix her BTRFS partition on her laptop. This is after I had a complete partition failure on a brand new hard drive last spring, which has since been running just fine since with ext4. Make of that as you will.

A beautiful picture I took in the process

Oh man, is this the first you're hearing of it? It's so bad it isn't even worth hate watching. I almost turned it off hallway through but I needed to know if it got better (it didn't)

The gist is Ice Cube works at the NSA or similar and has Watch Dogs style hacking on everyone which he then uses to coordinate an anti alien-invasion attack from Microsoft Teams (they really want you to know it's Microsoft teams). Thats basically the whole plotline

This is awesome! Just a few suggestions

The hanzi drawing needs to be a bit more lenient, I can't draw that accurately in a small touch zone on my phone.

杯子 and 杯 can both show up at the same time as "cup; glass" but only one button will work for each

Edit: same with 常 and 常常

Yeah no shit, you're blatantly disregarding rule #1. You've been told you're breaking rule #1. All you have to do is post this anywhere else. Not everything is conspiracy.

If one person in a group of people has Tidal, they go "geez well I can't share my music with others, I may as well switch to what everyone else is using"

But now they can send a link over and not care what anyone else is listening on. Reduced friction retains customers

Jokes on you, I love scrolling through old screenshots

Unfortunately I had to wipe my phone and I didn't have any of them backed up (didn't seem it necessary when setting up backup folders)

Didn't realize how often I referenced old screenshots until I didn't have them. Screenshots folder is now on the backup list

What about that creature makes you go "hey they live around me, let's go dig around and find one!"

Absolutely the fuck not. He can go grope the sand over there by himself, I am NOT looking for his ass

Although widely believed to be herbivorous, some have been found with animal remains in their gut.

I think he can take down people if you turn your back on him for too long

That being said, if this is Australia this is probably the least terrifying thing you'll see all day

God forbid someone have hobbies

My KDE Neon won't suspend automatically...what's blocking power management?

So...As I installed KDE Neon recently, it worked and autosuspended perfectly after 15min, which is what's set on Power Management settings. However, I've noticed after installing and configuring all the rest of the apps, it's no longer the case. I mean, it DOES suspend if I manually click the Suspend in the start menu, or if I ...

Just some ad delivery scheme with "anti-tampering". Funnily enough Ublock seems to handle it just fine

How do I check my router for malware?

I have a store bought consumer router connected to my ISP's router which is in bridge mode, and it's one of the few remaining proprietary mystery boxes in my network that I don't know how to audit. I recently made a post about whether I should switch to PFsense, and this was one of my motivations (though I forgot to mention it ...

Check the reputation of your IP address (in addition to the other comment suggesting reflashing the devices firmware)

If anything is reaching out en masse, your address will likely be reported and some sites will block you. This is not to say that you're 100% definitely clean, but that you're probably not in a botnet

Valve reportedly concerned about apparent depictions of "sexual conduct involving a minor"

Yeah, can't say I blame them for not wanting to list this

Edit: Seems like this was based on a misunderstanding from an early dev build, and once it's flagged as such Valve is unwilling to revisit modifications. Seems a bit overboard for what was depicted

Bootloader unlock and network unlock are two different things. Temporary unlock likely just network unlocks the device so you can use a foreign SIM when traveling. You can try the temporary unlock, but I wouldn't expect it to work to install GOS

There used to be Amazon versions of phones doing this like 10 years ago. They were a like 10-20% cheaper and with a lil Android knowledge you could permanently disable them over ADB and have a cheap usable phone
