what if the root cause was some system variable, which got reset on boot and never happens again (for example some code you wrote accidentally triggered lower voltage for your cpu, and you have hitches)

we do not know if rohit is already present here or not, for all i know, it could be you!

ideally do not send a hard drive, as shipping might corrupt data. if you do, please package it with good care - hard disk inside sponges inside softer thermocol insider harder thermocol inside cardboad. it is overkill, but hard drives really do not like to be shaken, and stuff in courier is often shook violently.

is it possible that he can use something like puppy linux like distros (essentially live usbs, where you can make a persistent partition and make changes)? that way you can prepare a usb, and maybe teach them how to plug the usb in, and change the boot order to include usb? it would be slow (for boot times, if you use some faster usb, that would help), but does not require any fancy operation requiring him to open his computer.

Or if opening the computer/laptop and installing ssd/hdd is within scope, then maybe you can prepare a ssd with complette install, and just ship that. give him additional video/text instructions on how to open a computer, and install it. (In case their system supports ssds, then I highly recommend ssds over hdd, as they do not require special packaging, would be much faster, and ssd installations are also easier(detachhing and reattaching sata ribbon is hard imo, where as with something like nvme ssd, it is very close to like plugging in usb, and then just screwing or something similar.)) If their system is old, and does not have nvme/u.2 connectors, i would still recommend ssd over hdd, then you would also have to procure (and ship) an extra enclosure (i think they are called caddys) to fit a ssd in a husk, which after closing looks like a harddisk and connects via sata. these steps are tad bit hard, but if it is within scope, then I do not think their is a better option.

its the other way round for bears i think

on my laptop (specs wise - consider steam deck non oled, but worse graphics performance, 1080p screen (IPS)) - 5.3-6 Wh for 2x speed playback. for full hd playback 6-7 Wh. Idle power is much higher though 4.5 Wh, on my old laptop, video power consumption consumed similar power, but idle power was close to 2.5-3 Wh (in terms of specs, it had halve the number of cores, and a tn panel)

Indian babies are mostly free (or a much more reasonable charge)(assuming no pregnancy complications requiring a very fancy operation in a private hospital)

thanks matey

a serious question - snails must be using more than 2 brain cells right? i presume that for most beings with a brain that almost all are always working, some less activated some more?

i would presume yes. you could run cinnamon wayland since early 2024 (iirc), but it was only experimental, so i would presume it might have become more stable since then.

yeah, they even worked on that this time (90+% of packages are now reproducible)

I am really surprised some common shit is not there, like hello, hello1234, abcd1234 (and other perms have numbers in front, etc)

or (hear me out) - get everyone to leave their mortal bodies and be replaced by lizard like limbs (which can grow back)?

so you are in the android camp. i am in lizard camp

did it really have to removed like an hour after I posted it here? (curses gods).

A pilot turned off the fuel.

there is no evidence of that happening. we know that engines did not get fuel. the other pilot asked first pilot if they cut of the fuel, and they replied that i did not (from the black box recordings afaik).

Everything else is speculation

while i agree, i feel the wording “speculation” is not appropriate. the guy seemingly has done all things correctly (i am not exactly from the same domain, but I have done similar simulations based on real snapshots(in my case, for material in various kinds of loadings) and methodology seems sound).

Update: apparently there was another upload (seemingly the same video, but like uploaded twice, maybe because the first one was removed). I have updated the link in my post.

So is zuckerburg just a more evolved human?

i mean you paid for the cat house, did you not?

that hurt a lot

thank you. but i would prefer not to host stuff on google drive. but some other provider could work (as i said, i am willing to pay a reasonable amount).

So keep a backup. Torrents can be messy because they can be broken if there are no seeders.

If the content is static, then I’d recommend some older P2P filesharing like eD2K to keep one big zip/rar file backup shared among peers.

yes. content would be partially static. most files will not update, only new stuff will be added. and some files be updated.

i did not know syncting could have multiple masters. afaik, syncthing had a master-slave architecture, where a folder on a device is master, and another folder is slave (both can true simultaneously, a folder can be used both as source and sync). if there is another folder, it can be slave of prior 2, but not master, because then you can have conflicting results (which master to pick). do you possibly mean something like a pyramid/tree architecture, where a father nodes has 2 daughter node, and each daughter has 2 and so on. if so, that is even harder to setup (getting people to ask others if they will be their father/daughter cell. this also has problem if some node is out of sync (because of being offline or something), daughters and grand daughter will also not sync. A cyclic link list is also possible, but again chain can be broken. and this can not be a doubly linked list either (2 masters). or is there some other way?
