nah, it’s not uefi. linux straight up doesn’t even see the drive when it’s in the pc. according to archwiki, all laptops in its series work perfectly with Linux except for this one. the SSD does work externally in an enclosure though, so I’m using it for storage.

I just have an old laptop with a tui screen saver on it to prevent burn

also, the ssd doesn’t work with linux so i have to put the os on a usb stick

not that specific. most modern displays are oled, and most efficient games use prebaked lighting. the average gamer probably plays on an oled display, and has a game with prebaked lighting.

if you have an oled display, then if a video game is brighter it costs more energy because the LEDs turn on more.

if have an lcd display, there’s a backlight that always has the same brightness and crystals blocking the light, which makes the image. meaning a brighter scene doesn’t take more power, since the backlight doesn’t use more energy.

‘you speak English because its the only language you speak, I speak English because it’s the only language you speak. we are not the same.’-some random guy some time ago

what did he do?

appliences that connect to your internet are supposed to be secured, but cheap Chinese ones usually arent. this means they can easily get hacked and added to a botnet thats used for DDoS attacks. I once saw a screenshot of someone whose washing machine uploaded ~30GB of data per month.

the best thing to do against this is to just not connect them to the internet.

nope, but they do have WiFi to send analytics to the factory (and so that they can get hacked and be used for DDOS attacks)

Unix computers store time in seconds that have passed since january first 1970. one there have been too many seconds since 1970, it starts breaking. ‘signed’ is a way to store negative numbers in binary. the basics of it are: when the leftmost bit is a 1, it’s a negative number (and then you do some other things to the rest of the number so that it acts like a negative number) so when there have been 09999999 seconds since 1970, if there’s one more second it’ll be 10000000, which a computer sees as -9999999.
