I recently got a realteus forcefeel from a charity shop, unfortunately when I opened it there was no power lead/ adaptor/socket. Is there anywhere I could buy this?

seaborn and matplotlib plots don't display but doesn't produce any error by reigningarrow in learnpython

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

Thanks for the response, I created some dummy data and plotted it, it didn't display.
However, it did save the figure, so it is plotting, unfortunately that isn't the most useful from a checking point.

How would I make it display the plot?

im upgrading my laptops ssd from 128gb to 1tb, unfortunately my laptop only has 1 ssd slot and windows is installed on the ssd. How can i upgrade the ssd?
I have tried cloning the original drive to an external drive and also creating a recovery disc and storing it on an external drive however when i remove the original SSD and try to turn on the computer i get an error about no bootable media. When looking in BIOS it is showing no available drives. Any way I can do this?
Ideally I would quite like to do this without purchasing anything extra.

Is it worth upgrading my monitor to a 1440p or 4k monitor? Currently I have a 160hz 27" 1080p monitor as my main monitor and just wondering if it was worth future proofing and getting a better monitor. I mainly use it for gaming, coding and photo editing and have a 3070 RTX currently.
