This is version 2.0 of the previous thread (>>380). Share new technology, websites, internet resources, guides, opsec techniques, your own tech problems etc etc etc.
>>5540 https://historum.com/tags/india excellent forum about history, with a lot of oldfags
Spilled tea on my laptop awhile ago, was fixed but the battery isn't capable of being charged, so it has to be plugged in constantly. Also has trouble powering up, with some issue of powerflow between the powersource and the motherboard. Now it's started randomly turning off. Think it's days are numbered. Does anyone have a decent, cheap computer for programming? Going abroad so I won't need gaming or anything really, more interested in writing and programming now.
>>7356 Budget ? Choice of is ? Size needs ?
>>7356 Motherboard dying mostly. Sad.
>>7360 Around 600 CAD, no size requirement. Windows preferably. >>7361 Yep, and the motherboard for my computer can be found nowhere. I'm hoping it lasts the next few months but I have a bad feeling it's going to get worse.
>>7364 How are Thinkpads generally? Also, is it worth trusting refurb products?
>>7381 Very repairable Their USB c port is.prone to breakage but otherwise very reliable. Keyboards are decent. Refurbished are good because repairs are easy and manuals easy to find.
>>7392 Literally what is the USB c supposed to be for? What is wrong with the full size USB ports
>>7402 Faster Stronger physically Carries more current Can support more monitors etc I have a single usb c cable setup. One cable plugged in and my monitor, keyboard, mouse, power, everything works. The issue is with the implementation in Chinkpads and Dells. You won't find this issue with Framework for example.

Overnight lot of CEO's and tech people have left Europe after Telegram CEO's arrest. I don't think these exits will make news, but as these people change their companies registrations, it will hurt an already weakened EU. Not that EU has any strength in the tech market. But this will further weaken a weak continent.
DeDRM not working in Calibre. Fucking Amazon DRM is such a pain. I bought the fucking book. Now let me fucking pirate it.
https://illuminate.google.com/home I hate google with a passion, but this is a very helpful idea. I do something similar but this just combines all those steps into one.
https://github.com/Haskell-Things/ImplicitCAD One of the things I hate is, I am forced to do the hardwork with my mouse. Yes, there are commands. Most of them are mind fuck.
>>7904 I hope someone makes an open source version of this. I'll listen to white papers podcasts instead of Hawk Tuah.
>>7938 Had to google this. LOOOOL. Seriously though, I hope so too. Audio has become my main source of consumption ,though for my 2nd read, I still use pdf's/epubs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y Video about how SS7 (Signalling System 7) can be, and is, regularly compromised so random people can track any other random people or even VIPs. They have left out a lot of details about the exact nature of the attack, perhaps on purpose. I will have to read the SS7 documentation and a bunch of other documents too. This has caught my interest. >>7404 Oh I have never seen this but it sounds useful. It's like dock maybe, but without the expensive shit. what other hardware do you need? i don't think monitors have USB C input just yet. >>7283 I found whatever executable that controls windows update n system32 and replaced it with an executable which just returns zero. Windows thinks it is broken, I believe i fixed it
>>8123 I use picrel. Monitors have usb C inputs now. Expensive ones even have docks and power supply built in, so one cable to connect to your monitor and you have everything. I connect the following to my dock (picrel) Ethernet Usb A dongle for mouse and keyboard External hard drive Input power Monitor Audio interface So 1 cable plugged in and my laptop has access to my peripherals. > Linus Vertasium video Govts use this means of attack. At this point, text messages and calls are all recorded in all big countries and many small too. this is usually the method used. Using the sms , apps like Signal and Telegram can also be hijacked in specific cases.
https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002 I am annoyed since I use this to get pics from phone to laptop. Any alternatives that anons use ?
>>8146 adb pull
>>5540 My phone dies randomly these days. I think it's the battery but I can't be sure, it does this even at 80%+. Sometimes I think it might be because of overheating but there are counterexamples too. Can I use logcat to see why it powers off? Or any other tool. I was taking a backup yesterday and did logcat, and there were some battery related errors showing up on the log Phone is 3 years old now (exactly 3 years old this October... I'm being schizo but I wonder if some hidden switch tripped when it completed 3 years of service)
>>8153 Check the battery health using those battery health apps. 3 year old batteries dying is not uncommon.
Now that the FOSS movement has chosen geopolitical sides, I think its high time the BRICS fraction should just fork Linux and start making our own Kernels and OS's. China is already doing it and honestly not doing a bad job.
>>8153 Got my phone repaired, apparently it was not the battery but just an IC that failed and drew too much current. I asked the guy how he diagnosed it. He had an entire lab there - with microscopes, power supplies and shit. He told me he checks everything before replacing parts blindly. and he checked this ic with his power supply. Somehow it really hurt my ego. I always thought of these guys as incompetent but this guy was really good at what he did and I am not good at anything. I just do random things that feel good to do, in order to feel smart. Some people are has beens, I am a "could be". I "could be" a great XYZ if i just tried. I really need to pick up something and learn to do it well, and do good projects with it instead of doing useless random shit. Literally the one thing I could describe myself as being good at, is reading documentation, and not even that good now because of my short attention span. And also I am never going to open up another electronic item after this unless I know really well what I am doing. I am responsible for killing off a laptop, a TV and a monitor all of which broke down but I decided to open them up and screwing them up all the way. (I feel really bad for the laptop. It had sentimental values)
>>8263 You are aiming too high. A repair guy, has only basics, the rest he has to figure out hands on. He gets paid to do this. Not only is it fun, but his livelihood depends on it. He has his soul in the game. These guys don't need to be smart. In most cases they are not either. But they have feedback. They try things and know immediately if they did it right or wrong. > I am a could be What project you choose and how you structure it, determines your success more than your intelligence. You have to weigh the risks and design projects so your loss is small. This includes opening electronics.. Good thing about things like laptops is, they can be repaired easily. Even if you screw up power supplies or motherboards, in most cases they can be repaired, unless you get Apple or Microsoft. > Short attention span That is a serious issue.
>>8267 >What project you choose and how you structure it, determines your success more than your intelligence Absolutely. Smartness and intelligence is close to a myth when you are not in middle school anymore. It helps but what matters the most is how hard you can work >That is a serious issue. It's why self paced courses are never-getting-completed courses
>>8205 I keep telling anyone who will listen to my babble - we need to move away from America in our computing. No shame in forking off a Linux kernel (embedded) or the entire OS (for bigger computers). Unfortunately we don't have enough good programmers who will find the time from the 70 hour work week. So if such a thing does come into existence it's going to be a government undertaking by cdac or something and you can imagine how that will turn out.
