Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    1. I am a cheapskate

    2. I am too lazy to replace it (one of those modern hard to open laptops)

    3. I am too lazy to test and clone a 1TB (or more) drive

    I actually used an SSD before with an old laptop, but that only required removing 2 screws. As for cleaning out dust, I don't use it much anyway, mainly because I don't want to deal with cracking this open.

    I am just looking at getting some used ThinkPad.
    But anyway, most stuff can be done on a smartphone. On the other hand, I already killed 1 motherboard likely due to overheating while re-encoding videos to AV1 in Termux. It was replaced under warranty both times though. The second time it was just some issue with communicating with cameras. Yeah, I am on this phone's 3rd motherboard.

    But anyway, it's a laptop. I reboot it like once a month when updating, so it's not a big deal.

    re-encoding videos to AV1 in Termux

    Can you use hardware acceleration while encoding or did you cook the CPU?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

    No hardware acceleration. Anyway, AV1 hardware encoding is a new thing anyway.
