nothing haha just left the bad 16gb stick in there because it mostly works. It’s hard to diagnose it as I use it for work 24/7… mayb I need another Thinkpad for when I diagnose the other

good to know

haha used is an understatement. was in a gaming laptop running frigate at like 90 degrees for 3 years. the other stick is a crucial 2666 16gb I have from same laptop. I’m too lazy to run memtest when I know there’s an issue. going to try slower speed and do the testing

yea it’s a 16gb but yea I agree. although it was in my server for 3 years(laptop that cooked itself)! Going to run memtest here in a minute and will post my findings on all sticks I have around once I’m done with work

ubuntu fresh 24.04 install. also it’s still usable as is but crashes before I hit 24gb usage

will try with a different brand and speed and runs tests thank you!

haha not only do I use IDEs, docker, etc I also use the computer for computer things at the same time! Like music, browser tabs, and thunderbird eat 3gb ish and gnome alone is about 3

neither had I and I got such a good deal I did not dig into that much before I purchased. I have been through the ringer with laptops the last couple years and dumped so much into new ones that break and the parts are too expensive that I gave up and just go based upon price not specs. would love to have a dedicated desktop but I have to work on the go all the time

I will try this as well, I have 2 16gb sticks kicking around the 3200 team group and a crucial 2666.

yes 8gb soldered. with a slot for a stick alongside the soldered shit. look I don’t come up with this stuff but I got the laptop for 200 bucks on Facebook and it plays well with ubuntu

gotcha it is a team group one(I was skeptical too) I have another 16gb that is crucial I think but it’s 2666 speed. Will try memtest tonight and report back.

The way I understand it is the bootloader is built in security on the soc itself similar to tpm? In some regards phones are safer than computers in this way. If you leave your laptop out someone can tamper with the os, same with an unlocked bootloader. Safe from governments you shouldn’t use a phone if that’s your worry.

I don’t even have a lock on my phone

Wow thanks for posting this. I read the whole thing but what I’m not getting is the fact that their started concern is apks “side loaded”. This is aimed directly at the foss community as normal people already won’t I stall anything outside of the play store. No non tech enthusiasts go straight to git hub …

I don’t have a solution. They also messed up my alarm I heavily rely on. I’m not sure why they get off on messing with stuff. Call also lags when swiped now. Pixel 8 here

I put a rate limit on my nginx docker container. No clue if it worked but my customers are able to use the website now. I get a Alton of automated probing and SQL injection requests. Pretty horrible considering I built my app for very minimal traffic and use session data in places rather than pulling from DB and the ddos basically attacks corrupt sessions

Got it in that case a tracker might be a better option. Some of those are very accurate like in house accurate. Movement is all you need to see

This is not really a technology question. I would pull a favor and see who can check in on your car/live in/take it in. I have a ton of animals and it’s hard to get people that don’t bail out so I resort to questionable people that are pretty much homeless and we’re 100bucks goes a long ways. Or pull a favor from family

I dunno sort of have the opposite experience, up until this year I used a 2015 MacBook I found at a relatives house and Linux installed. Got me through college until I finally caved in and got a used thinkpad(13th gen) for $350. Phones are a whole different ballgame where as I can all day get a computer decent enough to use for $100. New phone ended up costing me 400 for enough storage

So I’m still on stock android on a pixel and there is no option for just pin? Maybe I have to remove fingerprint from the phone first but there is basically a serious backdoor built in. How many people will be able to turn there phone off under duress?

Yea and I bet you installed it for them. If you provide IT support for people than yea totally doable. I switched to android and people call my phone a cheap phone or laugh at it granted the people I hang out with me included are middle class at best and I have a flagship phone and they are rocking iPhone 11s and stuff. Point being marketing is key and open source doesn’t have a Nike like following
