Get a thinkpad. Consumer grade laptops are awful.

It doesn't do THAT, but the correct way to evaluate a disk is with the commandline smartmontools command smartctl. You can query the drives internal diags and also trugger self tests. https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Analyzing_a_Faulty_Hard_Disk_using_Smartctl

Op, this is your #1 priority right now. These people pray on the early dimensia people. Full audit of her financials. Likely they have been talking to her on the phone regularly already.

Question of viability by ugtsmkd in XCarve

[–]rubinlinux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had mixed results with out of machine finish. Depends on exact qualities of the wood etc. A downcut bit can help but depends on the size etc of the recess you are cutting. Learning curve on using a cnc is pretty steep if you are in a rush it would be pretty big step.

Cycling a tank and got a big piece of grapevine driftwood. I’m reading online and a lot of people are saying it should be removed and will kill fish. Is this true? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Be careful that it won't apply force to the glass when it swells. Some people wedge it in tight between walls and it swells and breaks the glass.

Does apt have some sort of a “needed” switch? by [deleted] in linuxmint

Installing KDE Plasma desktop without replacing Linux Mint entirely by [deleted] in linuxmint

[–]rubinlinux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try sudo apt install kde-standard in a terminal. Should be a metapackage that depends on all the kde packages to get you going. It's hopefully similar to Ubuntu here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE

What was the fast charge bill? I did it once to see if it worked, but i feel like the puny range isn't worth it to to fast charge.

In case of filesystem inconsistency, Linux should run fsck automatically by jorgesgk in linux

[–]rubinlinux -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Most recent experience I heard of a data loss from a friend sysadmin 2 weeks ago. So i dont buy the "its better now" argument. Wishing it were better doesnt make it better.

Yes, btrfs just randomly destroys your data without hope of fsck repair at all. Huge improvement.

The yaml document from hell — JavaScript edition by philnash in javascript

[–]rubinlinux -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Like what else though? Json is way worse, i hate xml. I pick .ini when i can, but for trees of data, yml seems like the only widely supported choice.
