I don't know much about these laptop prices, but i've seen some youtubers trying out 30 35 dollar laptops, but considering that it can be a scam I will consider buying a 50 60 dollar laptop instead

 

Hello everyone, I have never owned a laptop before( PC user from the very start), I want a laptop for my IT career(coding stuff) but I have a really low budget and wanna buy just a second hand laptop that can run some lightweight Linux distro. The thing is that laptop prices are really high here in India, you can get a second hand laptop that has an i5 and 4gb ram for about rs.17000 (204 dollars), my aunt is in Canada and they are coming back to India next year so i can just ask them to bring me a laptop I went to ebay.com and found some really cheap options like "HP ELITE BOOK 840 G1" for just 30 dollars, now the question is that is it okay to buy a 30-60 dollar laptop from eBay and will they allow it while passing through the airport ????

Thanks for the info, I have another question. Can it be used to connect one pc to another maybe for sharing files or for doing some other stuff ?

[–] deepinder_brar 2 points 1 year ago

Do you mean that it was risky connecting one pc to another with this usb to usb cable ???

[–] deepinder_brar 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, its male-male

 

I don't know much about cables so if type something wrong forgive me ...

I was wondering around with some old stuff, and found this cable that is usb to usb "as shown in the image below"

Now what i thought was that it might be used to connect 2 computers with each other so i tried that and connected 2 computers with each other using it and nothing happened Can anyone tell me what this cable is even used for ???

I searched on youtube "how to repair swollen batteries" and they did the same in the videos, but I ignored the warning "do not try this at home"

Actually it is not a troll, I was serious

Sorry if asking wrong people but I've got a samsung galaxy j3 prime, its a really old phone and i lost its charger a year ago, after that until now I was charging it with a different cheap charger, and one day eventually while using the phone the back cover fells of(it has removable back) and then i realised that the battery became swollen, I immediately took the battery out and kept the phone and battery apart for 2 months, now today I lost patience and grabbed a safety pin and did a little hole on both sides of the battery. Now it fits !!!!!! and is much less swollen then before(yes it is still a little swollen)

So I meant to ask would it be safe to use it like that or is there a risk of the battery going kaboom!!! while i am using the phone or charging it ????

EDIT ↓

EDIT - I got rid of the swollen battery and now the mission was to get the smartphone working witty a new battery, so i checked online for new battery for my samsung j3 prime and i found nothing !!! So i decided to take matters in my own hands and searched for some old phone in my dad's stuff (and i found some really old samsung phone in really good condition) I removed their batteries and checked if they will work with the current j3 prime, the problem was that the battery that i found had 3 golden pins and the phone required a battery with 4 golden pins (idk what to call those pins specifically) So i just stuck the 3 pin battery in the phone powered it on and voila it works and after that i made the battery stick to the back of the phone by folding a piece of paper on the empty space(the traditional way), after that i attached the back of the phone and now it is working, the only catch is that the battery backup is quite low but i can live with that. Here the pic of how i made it fix

So i wanted to ask that is it ok to use the new battery? Considering that it has one less golden pin ?

I am 18 and till this day I have never been inside a cinema, its not like i dont watch movies. I watch movies on amazon prime, but recently I was thinking of watching oppenheimer(sorry if theres a spell mistake), should I go to cinema (Its not about the movie its about should i try going to a cinema) ?? And if yes then should i go alone or with a group of friends ???

 

Hey, rookie programmer here, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but what's the use of this language specifically ?

 

The time has come for us to make passwords for identifying each other..

 
 

I found it when searching for some old stuff, does anyone else other than me remember this ?

 

Are there any linux users here, am i asking this in wrong community ?, If yes then sorry

Anyways the first linux for me was kali linux, I was a hopeless kid who wanted to learn hacking, and as everyone thinks linux is for hackers i just did some random google search about "Best linux distro for hacking" and the result was kali linux (since parrot os was not there at the time)

I watched a tutorial on how to install it, and that's where it got worse. We didn't have that much data to download a 3-4GB of iso file, so i went to a nearby friend to use their wifi and downloaded it. When I was installing it I selected the partition in which we stored all our family photos and other memories ( At the time I didn't knew much about partitions and just wanted to try out linux). As I selected the wrong partition the windows installed on that partition and the files got deleted and I got into Kali linux, it took me some time to realise what I have done, but eventually I realised that many files were missing and was not able to boot into windows. Eventually I got scolded so much from my parents, but I don't regret it because that opened up a new world of linux for me (but with some sacrifices)
