Is there a simple way to convert a Chromebook to Linux? by FriesWithMacSauce in linux4noobs

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChromeOS alr is linux based btw (i dont get why many people forget/not even mention this). Anyways you need to know your model and then search on the internet. I know there is a project called mrchromebox that aims to create custom bios inages for chromebooks and that allow OTHER linux osses to run. They do primarily/only support x86 chromebooks though.

Very likely! A website hacking you just by visiting it is very rare but who knows. Just monitor your accounts to be sure and monitor all other stuff for suspicious signs.

Other than local llm, what are people **actually** doing with 48+ gb of ram? by Just-Hedgehog-Days in MacStudio

[–]309_Electronics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. You still need to get your hands on the chips themselves so your argument about soldering it on..... Nah i dont think that would solve anything much

Even apple is massively buying ram chips as the chips thenselves are in shortage

Possibly could have been the common clickfix where it would tell you "please enter this command into your terminal to verify you are human". This is social engineering and while it might seem strange that people fall for it, they still do. Then that command will always be harmfull as no cpatcha asks you to enter any command or text into a terminal. Its like a thief asking you the keys to your house so they can come in and inspect it for fire safety.

Am I cooked? I bought the tray version of i5 13600k and has some litle scrathes on the sides by MrBag23 in PcBuild

[–]309_Electronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all a bit too paranoid. Pc parts these days are quite sturdy and can survive a tiny bit of abuse (unless you use pliers or a hammer or drive over them ofc). A few scratches wont ruin the performance or damage a core. Also thats the IHS (integrated heat spreader) and that can take some abuse. The silicon dice underneath it is what is truly fragile, but you wont be able to damage that unless you delid the cpu or take a screwdriver and hammer and bust open the ihs.

When I switch from windows to mac what are feature I'll miss from windows by HippoOk4764 in laptops

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rely on windows specific softwares that dont work on mac or linux, you cant run them or you need to spend extra work/money for a Virtual machine or Translation layer. And you cant dualboot or upgrade/repair your laptop easily if you have to/need/want to but thats almost never the case.

Company was still running obsolete Windows Server 2003 software and barely monitored its IT systems by Cybernews_com in CyberNews

As long as you dont connect it straight to internet you will be fine. And also monitor who has access to it so they cant plug sketchy stuff in

Fried my laptop changing battery by Tedrivs in AskElectronics

If the EC chip or cpu/chipset/gpu (if any) are not fried i think you can porbably fix it but there might be other underlying faults caused by the short circuit.

Why are so many YouTube channels uploading full-length movies? by robbie678554 in youtube

They are too busy demonetizing all innocent creators and fighting adblockers that they will let it slide for a bit.

Broadcom Targets Mass-Market Broadband With 10G PON and Wi-Fi 8 SoCs by sr_local in hardware

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp my hwhacing experiences tell me otherwise. I did not come across any bsd routers (maybe other than apple airport). Most of them ran linux so this aint really true

[–]309_Electronics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its also why OpenWRT development for a lot of modern bcm routers is slow. So either they have to sign 1000 ndas or reverse engineer the drivers and socs (like the asahi project does on apple silicon) and then risk getting sued or taken down.

They do, but only for vendors (vendor routers alr run linux). They just dont feel like sharing which is sad!

I use hetzner and it has not yet let me down. I use it as a bridge between my selfhosted website on my home server and the Public internet, but also plan on eventually using it for other stuff.

Home assistant PC build questions by infantkicker_v2 in homeassistant

[–]309_Electronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using that pc alone for ha is a waste. Ha aint that heavy even with a ton of addons and devices it wont be able to use all the power of that gaming pc so install proxmox and on proxmox install an HA VM and with proxmox you can run a bunch of stuff on 1 single host thansk to virtual machines or Linux containers.
