Context: I need to have installed a a program called Smowl, which is a closed-source app that records EVERYTHING to make sure you don’t do weird stuff while doing an online exam. To avoid installing such monstrosity on my laptop, and since virtualbox is probably banned, I wanted to use a persistent bootable device to have the...

So, i use linux, i don’t have any windows install on my disk, but someone wants me to install windows on their HDD, so, if i plug said HDD on one of my sata ports and try to install windows 10 on it, will it mess with my linux boot? if yes, is there a way to prevent that without physically disconnecting my main drive? (my main...

I have a mobile wireless router (PW100 4G LTE Router) that provides WiFi via a SIM card. I have purchased several data “bundle codes”. One way to activate a data code is to send a USSD code: 101CODE#...

I created this script at ~/.config/i3/scripts/qt6ct.sh to set QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME depending on whether I’m using Plasma or I3wm:...

Like in the Home tab, the “Styles” seems like exactly what I need, but it applies the changes to the entire paragraph vs just the selected text....

I am experiencing a technical issue that I can’t even explain, let alone fix....

I went to turn on my PC this morning and my mouse wasn’t responding. I checked that it was plugged in, and it was, but the mouse’s lights weren’t coming on and Synapse didn’t detect anything. I plugged in the wireless receiver and my computer detected that, but it still didn’t affect the mouse itself. I tested the cord...

I’ll briefly summarize and then go into more detail on what ive tried. Build...

I have a few external hard drives that are connected over USB for backup storage. I power them down when not in use because it unnecessarily uses power and adds wear to the drives....

The system:...

I saw a post in a forum about connecting an external GPU to an x200 ThinkPad and it’s made me curious what the limitations are and what models you could use one on. I am not very familiar with eGPUs....

Marking as solved! The solution is a tad cumbersome (can’t directly control in-browser), but it comes with a bonus I didn’t even think to ask for (mp3 files that I can save to my phone and listen to in the car!)....

Edit for solution. Ended up being the cpu. Bought a 5600x that worked flawlessly, and my 5900x was still under warranty. Just got the replacement back from amd and it’s also working good....

This started a few days ago. I’ve been getting texts from friends with iPhones in the wrong order, and seemingly they are getting mine late. So I texted a friend whose grandmother was in the hospital yesterday, and her conversation with me looked like this. These texts from her arrived around a minute apart each. I think the...

I have no clue what could have gone wrong as it was working fine last night but now it’s doing this. Any solution other than data recovery and a new hard drive ?

Requesting advice/ recommendations for steps forward. Is the NAS cooked? Could I upgrade the drives and still get some life out of it?. How likely is it just a single bay (not the disk) failed on the nas?...

Yesterday I saw a post about the Reddit IPO and commented on it. The post was on c/World News of Lemmy.World and seemed to just have been posted since it had no comments....

Bought a pair of Sennheiser 560s for my computer but I’d like something to plug them into my phone. Of course, my phone doesn’t have a headphone jack (fuck you Google) so I need an adapter. I’d prefer one that allows me to charge and plug my headphones in at the same time, but I can’t find one that seems decent quality....
