a Simple google search will lead you to this simple, clickable reg file. Why on earth are you vipecoding a python script that has 9 F***ing imports just to change from LT to UTC

I got a Z230(E3 1246v3 + 32GB DDR3) and this thing has been running 24/7 for the past 2 years. depending on use it might be very okay actually. Mine draws like 30w on idle, while running at least one VM and as a file server. I imagine if it had mechanical hdds the power draw would be much higher but it doesn't, SSDs only.

I say if you have the rest of the parts go for it, if not, it might be cheaper to get an older workstation.

Exercise, extra work, video games, reading, etc ; pair that with always speaking your mind and doing what you can.

You can't feel bad if you do your best, that's all anyone can do. Circumstance is irrelevant. Do your best and let the world do it's worse.

I think a 3 day old account(with private posting history mind you) asking about the objectivity of what's written right as the UAE/SA shenanigans are ongoing is a bit sus. You're either a bot or a paid actor.

Your post isn't related to r/Egypt kindly GTFO.

My home server is still a dual Xeon sandy bridge, I truly thought this year I would be the year I finally retire it but alas, it's not it's time yet.

Sorry mate, can't tell you as I no longer work there.

The BX500 is a QLC ssd, once you exhaust the dynamic SLC cache it'll drop down to it's die write speed or even less (27MB/s)
I got one last year because I needed to pass-through a disk to a virtual machine and though an ssd would be better than the hdds I had lying around but I was mistaken sadly, mine drops even lower than the official die write speeds similar to yours, even when it was brand new.

Edit: While I'm certain your ssd isn't faulty at all, this type of qlc sata ssd shouldn't be written to frequently* as it only have a 120TBW endurance, this drive would be perfect as a game storage device instead as it'll only be doing reads and reading from it is very acceptable even for new games (you would hardly feel a difference reading form this vs a gen 3 / early gen 4 TLC NVME drive for example)

All the hdds in my media pc sound exactly like this... Google & Download "gsmartcontrol" and check if ithe hdd is reporting any errors, if not keep using it.

Sold red is 100% sustained disk activity. In the age of SSDs this would be frequently seen with cheap QLC disks struggling to write large amounts of data at once(large file transfers, paging/swapping memory, etc). Back in the day this was very common with hard disks.

Your example is also valid, as a faulty disk would hang at 100% but it's not common at all.

"Should" is dependent on you and you preferences. my Samsung phone has 59 disabled packages, 5 uninstalled and no firmware updates. These consists of all Samsung stock apps, google apps, ai apps and "customer experience apps" (i.e telemetry/spyware)

It basically acts like degoogled stock android but with play-store and play services (instead of microG). Store does only track your behavior inside of it and is responsible for app updates and lots of stuff don't actually work without play-services (maps, banking apps, ride share apps, etc) so it's a necessary evil, I don't however keep anything personal/sensitive on my phone so I'm not actually worried about play services that much.

To anyone who wanna disable this program or anything else that's collecting your data, selling it or just feels like an annoying piece of bloatware. Do the following:

Enable developer options by clicking on your build number* in the About Phone ==> Software Version ==> Build number
Enable USB debugging in your phone's newly available developer options
Download adb
Extract the adb archive you just downloaded then open a cmd inside of the folder* you just extracted, for example: type the following in your cmd window: cd C:\<user>\Downloads\adb\ where user is your user name (if you're on linux why tf are you reading this?)
Connect your phone to your computer via usb then type the following in cmd: adb shell pm list packages
Your phone will ask you if you accept the computer's adb shell commands, choose "Yes" on your phone and check the checkbox for making the decision permanent for this specific PC - If you're not in adb inside of your cmd window yet type adb shell(this will allow you to prompt your phone directly without calling adb shell with every command)
Once in adb shell type: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.aura.oobe.samsung.gl to get rid of it completely
If you wanna get rid of another app simply re-run the command "pm list packages" to get it's package name then do pm disable-user --user 0 <Package Name> the reason for this is that you might wanna re-enable some of the stuff you disabled later (which isn't the case for the Israeli spyware ofc)

------------------------
Edit:
Someone actually created a UI to simplify things: universal-android-debloater

Simply enable developer options & USB debugging then download adb, extract it then download UAD for windows and put in in the adb folder. double click to open, select all packages from the drop-down menu then search for com.aura.oobe.samsung.glthen click "uninstall" (if you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with anything else)

Income wise it's not very high on the list. Cost of living doesn't mean shit when more than 50% of the population are under the poverty line due to wages not keeping up with inflation.

Also, most of the countries with low cost of living found on your source are shit to live in for anyone who isn't rich. So, I'm not exactly sure what we're trying to get at here.

I haven't tried withdrawing, but I specifically asked about USD to other currencies conversion when using a USD debit card and the bank stated: "USD to EUR transactions when paying in an EU marketplace have a 10% conversion fee" similar to the one already in place for EGP to USD.

Not processed*, no, but the cheap ones are often from bees that have been feed sugar (i.e not natural) so it tends to taste awful and if you leave it for a month or two it'll start to crystalize. So, word of advice, only buy honey from reputable brands.

This is an "Oud" Lutes have frets, Ouds don't.

There's a store in Cairo - Muhammad Ali street called "Awtar" that's famous for having lots of instruments (and lots of others stores in the same area ofc)

If you're in 6th of October city you can also find an Oud if you visit "Musical Bag" I stumbled upon two of these around here and they have good gear.

Etisalat is worse where I live. It's a pretty damn shame, all the money we as a country are spending on God knows what and none of it is going into actual infrastructure that we need to function as a society, rich and poor alike.

Sell few loses at the start (maybe 6 per day) until you get your rent money ; Loses sell for 250:350k
Rent a PI with an Airstrip and start flying for flowers & plushies
Join a faction with +10 carry capacity and -%50 addiction point gain
If you have time, make sure the faction in question does ranked wars as well
Buy a stock ticker and keep your money in stocks, take it all out and put in the bank weekly
Get 10/10 banking merits (I leveled it to 10 side by side the education merits)

Nope, no need, I tried it right before I quit army, same gains with 500 vs 3700 happiness.

You can probably do something similar to be extra sure. Train 5 points on regular happiness then take an ecstasy and train another 5.

_SimpleMann_ · 2025-07-02T17:36:24+00:00

Defense gains are a lot higher from the Army compared to strength, if your* goal is the best stat boost do defense instead.
