    1. DON'T CONNECT TO WI-FI
    2. Shit+F10 (you might need to hit Fn+Shift+F10) will open up command prompt
    3. OOBE\BYPASSNRO
    4. It should now reboot and give you the option to make a local account in the fine print
  • $70 is dirt cheap? So far it runs kinda like shit on both Nvidia and Intel GPUs, and it runs slightly better on AMD cards for some reason.

    Honestly this is Bethesda's standard move, they make a poorly optimized game that runs like shit and just let the modders fix it for them. They've been doing it for decades now, I don't know why anyone is surprised.

  • Agreed, NextCloud performance is atrocious. You need decently powerful hardware to run it, so at that price point just buy a nice NAS.

  • Yeah the term "heat exchanger" describes a lot of things.

  • It's getting old. I did the thing, I deleted my Reddit account and moved to Lemmy. So I kinda just want to remove Reddit from my mind for a while, I don't see the need to let it live rent-free in my head.

  • Right, a KVM's usefulness is narrow and you're ideally using it as a sort of backup to a backup of critical systems. That means you usually only hear about them in server environments, and that means that sysadmins pay a LOT of money for enterprise-grade KVMs.

    But it's very cool that we can build a dirt cheap, half-decent KVM out of a Pi nowadays. I might have just left mine running if I there wasn't a Pi shortage; I wanted that Pi for other stuff.

  • Ah, yeah Plex will show results for just about any show you search for, but they're not necessarily streaming it themselves. They're trying to be the central place you go to figure out where stuff is streaming. Kinda like justwatch.com.

  • It's good for critical systems that you might need to reboot and do things like see the BIOS (which you can't see if you're using a normal VNC-type remote access solution). It's probably not necessary for most setups, but it can be very useful in certain situations. I made one myself, then literally never used it, and I'm now using that Pi in a different project.

  • Yes, but my point is that you're asking a flawed question. It's possible for us to give you a bunch of different services or processes to look for, but it's trivial for these companies to just make a new service or process with a different name that's harder to find. You're trying to play a cat and mouse game that you're not going to win.

    I work in IT. Most of our clients' computers are managed by an MDM, which means that we can push ANY package or software to the computer at ANY time, without notifying the user. Most of our clients don't bother with tracking software, but some do. And make no mistake, tracking software is basically legal spyware.

    So, my point is this: it doesn't matter whether or not you have evidence of tracking software on your computer. Just assume that it's there, and don't use your computer for anything you don't want your employer to see. That is the safest route.

  • It's not that different from ricotta, honestly. Though I'd probably lean towards ricotta rather than cream cheese for most Italian recipes.

  • For broad compatibility and good quality+compression, h265. I use Handbrake's Nvidia encoder and it works great. I'm not sure about the differences between AAC and AC3.

  • If it's a work laptop, treat it like it has tracking software on it. Don't use your work computer for personal stuff that you don't want your employer to see. Period.

  • Looking again, I feel like it's NOT coming through the thermistor, it's probably coming through the heat break and just dripping down onto the thermistor. That's pretty common when your bowden tube isn't seated properly. Either way, the thing to do is disassemble, clean, re-assemble. Probably put in a fresh bowden tube, too.

  • Why do you need to automate it and do multiple decoy accounts? Can't you just make a single account and use it to subscribe to a bunch of the biggest communities?

  • That's filament leaking out, if it's coming through your thermistor that's a sign that your thermistor might be loose or something? You might need to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your whole hot end.

  • If you're not a power user, then it'll probably work fine for several years. And it will be cheap and easy to replace the battery in 3-5 years when it starts to degrade, or replace the screen if you drop it. Not sure if a full 10 year lifespan is realistic, though.

    And you're right, the price is high, but it's not supposed to be an affordable phone. The stated goal of the Fairphone is to be better for the environment and better for people than most other electronics. So, they have to do things like use sustainable materials and source parts from places that treat their workers well. All of that means that Fairphones will NEVER be as cheap as other brands. Because doing things right costs more.

  • And not the last, I'm sure 😆

  • I've been using Flym since they killed Reader.
