it's just a single plate with probably six or eight screws to remove. they're not security torx or anything. that said, you probably only need to open it if they send you a replacement drive but don't dispatch a tech. that will depend on the warranty call

Actually, it just occurred to me that a smart error wouldn't be a connection issue, or rather the connection would be the solder. So disregard what I wrote, my brain has turned to mush from work…

from https://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2021/03/07/qubes-lite-with-kvm-and-wayland/:quote:According to the GNOME wiki, the original justification for not supporting selection copies was “security concerns with unexpected data stealing if the mere act of selecting a text fragment makes it available to all running applications”. The implication is that applications stealing data instead from the clipboard is OK, and that you should therefore never put anything confidential on the clipboard. fukkin'

Well that explains why I wasn't able to copy and paste across applications when I was trying out Fedora. What a lovely experience that was. I'm glad I went back to Manjaro. Seems like being able to copy and paste from one place to another is a pretty central part to the user experience.

jesus WEP posted:my girlfriend bought a dell with a defective screen and they made her jump through every hoop possible before repairing it, in the end she returned it and bought a mba i had a dell way back when that came with a busted wireless card (when wireless cards were separate modules). it reported fine through the dell hardware tester program. i opened it up and saw that the antenna sma connector was physically broken off the pcb and said so to the tech guys but they insisted that it must be fine because the hardware tester said it was fine. "please try reconfiguring your router sir." "please return to the last system restore point." "please hold the following command: ctrl-alt-delete" ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i finally convinced them to send out a replacement card and they very sternly told me that if i returned the original card and it was not broken, i WOULD be billed for it. i said fine whatever. then they sent me the wrong mailer and i couldn't return it anyway. i called up support again and the guy this time said "whatever, it's a 15 dollar part, i've waived it, have a nice day" ok, see ya

sorry about your linux experiences op i just upgraded to the pre-release version of fedora silverblue version 34, it works very well. i even plugged in an old wireless mouse i had sitting around in a drawer and gnome software prompted me to install a firmware update onto the mouse to fix a security problem.

btrfs is the filesystem for nerds with waifus and twitter set to notify every time Elon musk tweets. it is the “I loving love science” filesystem. the only valid reason to ever format a drive with btrfs is deliberately setting up lovely systems so your rear end in a top hat boss will suffer after you quit. don’t use btrfs

I could talk for hours about how much I love ZFS, btw. Like, the entire storage stack is ugly and fraught with foot guns, no matter how you slice (  ) it, no matter which OS or implementation. ZFS is the least bad, bordering on pleasant to work with.I hope bcachefs can become useful in the future, it seems to have been built by someone who actually sat down and drafted a plan _before_ writing features with wild abandon.
