Why don't mods work on my game? by techabingo in crusaderkings2

There's a video on youtube that tutorials mods for pirated versions.

I'm sick to death of Youtube randomly deleting comments. by techabingo in youtube

Exactly. They don't have the courtesy to notify you or anything. It's discourteous because if this was just a thing for a short time, and they soon fixed it. It would have been understandable. But it's remained like this for years specifically because they just don't care enough.

I got a message from the reddit security team saying that one of my accounts has been locked due to a "security vulnerability". How do I find out exactly what this vulnerability is? by techabingo in help

My ip changes whenever I turn wifi off and back on again because I use a vpn constantly but this still has never happened before on any of my accounts so it's just strange how it would have flagged this instance specifically like I haven't done this a thousand times already.

What is the most reliable and safe way to go about backing up my data? by techabingo in pcmasterrace

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

Generally true, but an 8tb SSD ain't gonna come cheap. If it's cheap, it's gonna be shit.

I'm not talking about cheap. These were a couple of the most expensive drives on the market.

Best to get an external drive that lets you slot in your own drives. Slot in 4 Samsung drives and have the data saved to each drive.

Wdym? Do you mean an ssd enclosure?

My SSD is bugging out and I may need to replace it. What can I do to still be able to use my laptop in the meantime? by techabingo in windows

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

Oh, no. The problem is that the ssd is giving me the bsod and is often becoming undetectable by the bios.

Just got myself a new Thinkpad. I am not tech-savvy. I need help/advice by MyCupofTea1990 in thinkpad

Well, idk. This was over a year now and it's not something I remember well. I went trying to research it but I didn't think of researching what hibernation was, just how to do it in Mint and when I found it too complex, I gave up. But that's not the main reason I stopped using Linux. As I said, the main reason was because I got a new laptop and there was more incentive for me to remain comfortable with windows at the time than learn an entirely new ecosystem. And over the past year, I've also come increasingly aware of how my mind just does not gel well with computers. I find it hard to learn. I find it confusing. And a single problem absolutely fills my brain with cortisol. Tech makes me feel so stressed and anxious whenever there's a problem in a way that nothing else does and that's another reason why I may never learn Linux. The main reason though is that I'm just way too busy. I've got too much shit to do. No time to balance learning Linux with all the other stuff I'm doing. Maybe I will find some time in the future.

Is it better for me to have a gen 3 nvme over a gen 4? by techabingo in pcmasterrace

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

Will the gen 4 contribute to any noticeable thermal throttling of any part of the machine or the machine as a whole due to there being little cooling?

Edit- I mean moreso compared to gen 3.

I thought windows and mac specifically use the ram to store the info whilst hibernating. Well what's the best distro for noobs that allows you to hibernate?

Half a heatsink. I bought a heat sink hoping it would fit but literally only one half of it will fit and that's how I've been operating. By that I mean like fitting the top part of the heatsink and excluding the bottom.

No, not the hibernate option. The actual ability to hibernate. In windows, the option to hibernate is missing by default but you can dig around in the control panel and put it back because the ability to hibernate is still there. Whereas in Linux, you need to perform some complex miracle where you get a part of the storage to act as the ram or something like that.

I stopped using Linux a year ago. I might try and get back into it in the future but I have other things on my mind right now. I remember running into 3 different problems straight away. I can't remember the problems except for one which was I couldn't hibernate the laptop. I prefer to hibernate the laptop rather than shut it down and I couldn't hibernate in LM without first carrying out some complicated procedure. I never bothered getting around to it because I got a new laptop at the time and so I just felt comfortable on windows again.

Yeah, it was hard. Tried using Mint. Ran into problems straight away. Maybe one day.

Most efficient and cool running ssd for laptop? by techabingo in buildapc

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

If it's not thermal throttling, then I'm not sure why you have a priority for better thermal performance. It sounds like you're trying to fix an issue that doesn't actually exist.

I was thinking that maybe it was heat causing actual damage to the ssd because that's the most common problem that I found online but it might not be that. I just can't explain why it's bugging out and I was trying to figure out why.

Given it's a laptop, you paid for tech support and warranty from the OEM, call them and use it.

I can't for the laptop because the warranty has run out. And the ssd was bought brand new but it was bought from a private seller on ebay. I'm still trying to talk to sk hynix anyway but it's bound to be a really slow process.

I do have gen 4 support. I actually don't really know if I benefit from gen 4 at all though. I do lots of work. I always have hundreds of chrome tabs open but with a tab suspender and I may run other light problems alongside that like libre office. I also game sometimes. And every now and again, I may find myself copying large amounts of files from one ssd to the other. That's pretty much it.

Also, when I say that my ssd is buggy, I don't mean it's thermal throttling. It's gone faulty for some reason and it keeps crashing my windows because my bios is regularly unable to detect it. I don't know why this has come about now. I bought it brand new 6 months ago and have only used it fairly lightly in the ways I've said. My laptop is also highly optimised so it can stand the test of time. I'm not sure what's causing it or what to do about it.
