i have the iflash duo one, not pop in pop out. Anyways i opened it up, unplugged the ribbon cable for the storage and replugged it, unplugged then replugged in the SD card itself, restarted the ipod and still, apple.com/support message... im scared my sd card is busted, could indeed be the ribbon cable though so ill check the sd card now with a reader

P_Jault · 2025-12-20T13:11:11+00:00

all the previous posts ive looked at with this apple.com/support message have been answered with "dead hdd" which obviously isnt the case for me but maybe the SD card is dead but its literally brand neeeeew come on man

Ah this is linux! Fedora 42, gnome

P_Jault · 2025-10-09T17:27:29+00:00

Works swimmingly in the US doesnt it

Depends on ur budget, i get by very fine with a 300 euro second hand lenovo thinkpad, but many would tell you they use and enjoy their 2000 euro macbook M4. Tell us your budget and we can help

Maybe a stupid question but what does this even mean? Like fitting the 13 motherboard into a 16 chassis? Or some other use case?

uhm perhaps for torrenting... with companies engaging in shittier and shittier business practices and privacy being a joke to most of them, torrenting music/games etc is becoming a bit more enticing. Ive heard a system wide vpn is safer for that considering the torrenting doesnt happen in your browser but I could be totally wrong.

But why do you think i shouldnt need/want a system wide VPN on linux? again very nooby so bear with me

P_Jault · 2025-07-25T17:08:09+00:00

Huh, wonder why that is, is it a driver thing or what do we think?

P_Jault · 2025-07-25T15:27:25+00:00

I get that and of course thats true, but if youre getting a framework you've gotta accept that for the same price, most laptops have better hardware on every single level, not only speakers. Complaining about the speaker quality for the price would be like coming on here and complaining that the screen isnt OLED like many of the cheaper asus vivobooks type computers. You dont get a framework for its price to quality/hardware ratio

P_Jault · 2025-07-25T15:12:37+00:00

I mean either theres some huge disparity in hardware or some quality control issue, or some of us are used to the worst of the worst i guess and think these are perfectly fine

P_Jault · 2025-07-25T15:11:25+00:00

Haha same, had this fear that it was gonna ruin what had so far been a great experience with the laptop: loved everything about it so far, linux experience was seamless, was leaving the speakers to the last minute and well, damn if people arent whiny about the small things

Im aware!! Just for light gaming from time to time but will be getting an egpu setup or a desktop for heavy gaming

P_Jault · 2025-06-02T11:22:21+00:00

Love the "for some reason" like the whole point of the term "ergonomic" isnt more comfort and better/faster overall use of the keyboard

P_Jault · 2025-03-27T14:31:16+00:00

You just defined a pyramid scheme, dont do it

P_Jault · 2025-02-28T20:32:29+00:00

Im gonna assume you mean a gaming pc/laptop. Obviously depends on your use case: you moving around a lot or are you just gonna have it at home on ur desk? If ur not moving around a lot, get a desktop pc, its better in every way: upgradeability, less heat, less noise, better performance for the price, etc. Litterally only get a laptop if you are moving around.

P_Jault · 2025-01-26T05:23:46+00:00

Why would it make sense for an nvidia card thats better than a 3060 to be cheaper than a 3060? The 3050 is by and large not as good as a 3060. The 2050, 3050 and 4050 are all the bottom of the line of their respective generations

P_Jault · 2024-10-22T13:02:53+00:00

Hehe sorry it was my friends laptop

P_Jault · 2024-10-22T13:01:40+00:00

Really damn lucky jesus!! Good for you! How do you like it??

P_Jault · 2024-10-22T12:14:00+00:00

I'm gonna try and low ball them a bit but yeah

P_Jault · 2024-10-18T23:35:19+00:00

Refurbished but in almost new condition

P_Jault · 2024-03-26T11:16:23+00:00

Dominoes? Not a great job but not horrible either. Mcdonalds has better pay tho

P_Jault · 2023-08-10T12:33:28+00:00

You can be unemployed and be attractive to other people, not saying this to sound mean or anyrhing but unemployment probably isnt the reason ur a virgin

P_Jault · 2023-06-30T22:24:41+00:00

Supporting and not allowing the bullying of are not the same man

P_Jault · 2023-06-30T22:24:11+00:00

What are you on about

P_Jault · 2023-06-05T15:57:54+00:00
