It’s a six year old system. Optimistically you’ll be able to salvage the PSU, case and storage. Whether you should salvage the PSU and case is up to you, prebuilts aren’t known for picking the best of these.

Personally I’d use the machine for something else (or sell it to someone for $300-400) and build what you want. (Edit: I’ve had good results moving the core system components into a USFF or NAS case and repurposing as a home server. That’s a pretty typical end of lifecycle role for an aging gaming desktop.)

Even being able to generate enough lift to send a payload into orbit would be an amazing advancement. We can solve propelling craft out of the solar system later, first we need an economical way to get off planet that isn’t just burning fuel to lift fuel.

Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.

That’s exactly the point of power loss protection (aka PLP.) As a side effect of not needing to wait for a flush after a write synchronous write workloads are dramatically faster on enterprise drives with PLP.

Edit: To add a bit of detail - you don’t need to wait for a flush after a synchronous write with PLP because the drive firmware can lie and immediately return from a flush call because there’s enough backup power to complete that flush if the power were cut.

Hell even Costco probably has photo paper

I don’t use Samsung unless I plan to unlock and root the device. I have 70+ apps disabled on my Samsung tablet and it’s finally usable. Hopefully someone else comes along with a high spec OLED tablet sometime soon so I can stop buying Galaxy Tab S devices.

I for one support the AI centipede and hope it shits into it’s own input until it dies

I’m waiting for someone to knock it over with their car and shoot it, that’s the American way after all

Or you could use mtkclient and do the job much more efficiently by going after the bootrom instead

Does the distro even matter as long as you’re comfortable with it? Most of your services (if not all) can be managed as containers. Kind of the same deal with your filesystem choice, as long as you’re comfortable with it and keep regular backups you can use anything.

“it appears that the GOP’s leadership may have played themselves into making the right call for the right underlying reasons (the censorship powers), but based on a near total misunderstanding of how the world actually works.”

So business as usual for them

It’s mostly fine on my phone, just go landscape to see the broken bit

Have you tried putting your cast iron in the dishwasher?

*Snapchat reserves the right to use your ass in AI ads

Yeah, that’s about what I expected unfortunately

Yeah, shizuku could work I’m just not aware of any shizuku enabled charge control software

I mean, global warming us slowly into extinction is a pretty AI way to go about it

“I made this!”

Live translation is pretty baller too
