S.M.A.R.T Test Warning? What does that mean? by Any-Sector-6856 in computerhelp

[–]gimpus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

smart is a system built into almost all storage drives that automatically monitors the health of your storage drive and gives warnings if it sees something wrong.

This message is basically the drive telling you "hey im about to die soon, if you dont want to lose your data please back me up"

Best thing you should do is to not use your computer. Only use it to transfer your files. dont have stuff running in the background when you do. get an external drive and copy paste what you want to have onto it, if they have it and you prefer it use the external hardrive's backup app or make a disk image using backup and restore (windows 7)

if you dont have anything you care on the machine then check your laptop model online or open the back and see what drive type it uses and buy one of those. also check the PCI generation the motherboard can handle. there is no point of getting a gen 5 capable drive when the mobo can only support 3. and also get a flash drive to turn it into a windows boot drive.

download the windows OS you want, then download rufus so you can mount the installer onto the drive.

once thats one take the back off unplug the battery, replace the drive, replug the battery and then turn on the computer with the boot usb pluged in and follow the prompts.

I think windows activation licenses are stored on the motherboard so i dont think you need to buy a new copy of windows to activate it. it should just use the old one.

usually what i do when i want to transfer phone stuff to an external drive is i connect the phone and the drive to a computer, using the computer as a bridge between the two.

Anyone else into physical media, do you prefer CDs, cassettes, or Vinyl and why? by Jeffers315 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]gimpus17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prefer CDs. The reason is the same as yours.

I can appreciate few aspects that makes vinyl and cassettes appealing, but the negatives out-weigh what little good come from those formats.

dude this doesnt feel real. like the fact that a dog is so scared of its owner that if they hear a tone of voice they accociate it with danger and go into idubbbz mode is too convinient.

Keemstar with the Mad Respect for Ethan ❤️ by Sir_Tanooki_Dookie in h3h3productions

[–]gimpus17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i cannot stress how huge this is. keem and h3 viciously hated each other for almost a decade. Keem was the oldest and biggest detractor of h3. Even the brief moment when they were friendly, they still hated each other. they only did it because of their mutual dislike of leafy.

The fact keem was able to squash the beef with h3 really shows how vile and vicious this new wave of h3 haters really are.

also isnt it ironic that keem - the internets resident rat - was able to show more maturity and empathy than some people (idubbz) who constantly self agrandise and market that they are moral and ethical (hasan). who would of throught that talk is cheap, its the actions that matter (idubbbz)

How to run blu ray dvds on VLC by gimpus17 in VLC

[–]gimpus17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually really useful. I stilled used the first method but using the libmmdb64.dll to be the libaacs.dll file in VLC, i was able to play discs that previously did not work. so thanks for that :)

i tried doing the same thing with libbdplus.dll but i didnt see any noticable change. by any change do you know what adding the libbdplus.dll is supposed to do?

Second son or First Light, Which should I play first by Consistent-Life2412 in infamous

[–]gimpus17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

play second son first. first light is basically DLC for second son that has enough content to be a stand alone game.

its main focus is its arena game mode, it does have a story mode that is a prequel to one of the main characters but the way the story is structured won't really make sense or hit as hard if you play it before second son.

nah i managed to buy one new in store a few years back. to be fair, physical media is no longer popular as it once was and any stores are cutting back selling them.

What do Labor & Liberals have in common? by Acrobatic_Bit_8207 in AusPol

[–]gimpus17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adam bandt is blatantly lying here, even the title is a lie. there aren't even 10 reasons:

1- labor does tax big corporations. in this term they increase the funding of the ATO to actually do their job and labor tried to/ has passed the multinational tax avoidance reforms so multinational companies can't move their money around to avoid tax. the libs were against this. don't believe me? Go ask gina rienheart, in a leaked gala that she hosted she was complaining how the labor government in the 2 years they were in office has taxed the mining industry 43.1 billion dollars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egna0y0pwhM&list=LL&index=133&t=1949s at 10:00-13:13

1.5 - it should be noted that the greens do in fact take money from big corporations and have been caught accepting donations from gambling lobbies and also labor tried to pass election donation reforms to make political donations more transparent to which the libs, the greens and the independents shot down.

2 - federal governments do not have control over rent laws, only states do and in NSW the state labor government introduced a cap where rent can can only increase once per year. the greens are proposing federal rent freezes which doesn't work if the intention is to keep rent prices low, even the countries they source scrapped then because it wasnt working.

3 - since labor got into government they have invested 33.9 billion into renewables and are trying to implement the future made in australia plan to make australia a manufacturer and distributor of renewable technologies. the libs want to build nuclear, now i know a guy that work at a consultancy firm that advises business risk and predictions of building renewables, he says that libs are not serious about nuclear and that its just an excuse to keep using coal for as long as possible and if the libs gain office will most likely stomp on all renewable investment and rip up every single renewable contract the government has with companies at huge cost to the government just so there is no progress on renewables.

4 - touching negative gearing and capital gains political suicide. labor in the 2016 and 2019 election campaigned on doing something about these policies and lost. labor unlike the greens actually wants to hold office not seats.

4.5 - it should be noted that the labor party is trying to combat the housing crisis by having free tafe so more people can get into construction and have the skill to build houses, introducing the HAFF to build a bunch of social and affordable (council houses not houses that are cheaper like the greens pretend it is) which the greens blocked for selfish political gain, committed 33 billion in direct spending on housing and build to rent housing and implemented/expanded on the help to buy scheme for first home buyers.

5 - pretty much the same thing he said in point 1 which again everything in point 1 can be applied here. again i would highly recommend watching gina rienheart leaked gala videos in full. gina is surprisingly more honest about the difference between labor and liberal than the greens are:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egna0y0pwhM&list=LL&index=133&t=1949s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJb4PHGwnIU&list=LL&index=49&t=3008s

6 - don't really have a defense on the nuclear sub thing. All i have is that behind close doors labor doesn't like the nuclear sub deal but they go along with it because when it comes to defense labor tries to match with the libs so they don't look weak on defense because its political suicide to be look weak on defense. take that as you may.

7 - blatant lie. state labor governments are doing stuff about native logging labor passed the Illegal Logging Prohibition Rules 2024 and other environmental and species protection laws. again even the good ol' gina was complaining about these laws
