but let's use an analogy that's more suitable to this topic: let's say a car brand announces that they tie the headlights to the computer by serial number, to avoid car theft. would this outrage you, or would you gladly buy a new car when the brand decides to no longer offer you headlight replacements? because that's what apple is doing. and no, we're not talking about "stolen phones", we're talking about things that severely limit consumer rights, under the premise of "mathematically decreasing the potential value of stolen goods, wether or not that actually affects actual thefts". you're also baselessly assuming "these parts MUST come from stolen phones", when there's no reason to assume this is any significant portion of the market compared to otherwise broken or 'recycled' phones. there's also no reason to assume that before mentioned parts shops in china buy any stolen phones at all, as opposed to buying 'recycled' phones by weight. blocking the motherboard made a huge impact, from what i can find.. but i havent seen any data suggesting that tieing components together by serial number has had any impact.. while it all but destroyed the consumer's ability to repair their own device if they so desire.

Is there an app like parsec for iphone cause when i search for parsec the app its not there

They can all influence you to do that and much worse.

You could call bedrock linux the "one size fits all" distro, but at that point you might as well call Gentoo a beginner distro.

So then my 10 year old gpu that cannot view console screen but visual screen does isn't good at all? I mean it runs with all fps i need. It can run over more years.

Yes. 600w is enough even with GPU overclock

cpu: 5600x, possibly overclocked slightly gpu: 2070 super strix which i will also overclock a lot ram: 3600mhz 2x8gb ssd: 1x nvme 500gb, 1x sata 500gb, 1x 5400rpm hdd 5 case fans 2 cpu cooler fans psu is a thermalright gx2 600w the motherboard is some asus prime b550 atx mobo

No, 4070 are good, but 4070 Super are just better

What is listed at the bottom of device manager. Can see large scrollbar. When device manager removed the driver it may have set the device as hidden? https://www.makeuseof.com/view-hidden-devices-in-windows/ Does windows update find a driver? Windows Updates > Advanced Options > Optional updates

Yeah so now I need a new distro... See the problem? Nothing like that with Windows

Today I built a pc, I've never done that before and I need help. So basically what happened is that when I pressed the start button, the pc "started" ,in a way. The fans we're spinning but nothing was on the screen!!! My pc parts: CPU: Ryzen 7 8700G GPU:(I use integrated graphics) RAM:Corsair Vengeance 16Gb (8x2) Mobo:A620M H Cooler: Stock cooler(Wraith Spire) Fans:2 different fans(1x sharkoon brushless DC fan & 1x fractal design) PSU: Evga bronze 600w

was gaming ,temps were fine as i keep software running in the background to watch temps 2 diff software HWIDIFO an HWID monitor ,at no point did temps say it was overheating ,i was gaming like normal nothing open out of the ordinary an screen randomly went black an said no signal as if the gpu turned off but yet i saw it on through the glass panel on my case and i unplugged the hdmi cable an plugged it back in but that didnt work i managed to get signal back by just completely restarting my pc , this has only happened once an that was like a year ago an it hasnt happened again till now the gpu im using is a Geforce RTX 3060 ti

A couple of our internal apps stop working. I inform IT, they put the updated apps into our internal app store. I download them and check that everything works. I notice that one of them has trouble logging in, so I restart my phone and everything works fine after that. Given the hiccup and knowing the complete lack of tech affinity among my coworkers, I decide to write a short guide on how to go about downloading and installing the apps in question with plenty of screenshots and mention that in order for them to work properly again, they might have to restart their phones too. I send an E-Mail to everybody in my department with all the information. A couple of minutes pass and someone asks me for help with the steps I clearly outlined in that little guide. More people come by asking for help doing the things I outlined in the guide. One person managed to nuke her enrollment in our corporate MDM entirely. I reevaluate my will to live and question why I even bother writing guides for people who are either too stupid to follow them or too disrespectful to put in the effort before consulting me.

Except a book, movie or music can't hack or steal my information, my identity etc.

Yeah, Mint is great and all but for bleeding edge hardware you need something based on Fedora or Arch.

I know this is couple years old but I been having the same issue.....have you gotten this resolved?

HBR3 maximum data rate is 25.92 Gbit/s, which is a physical bit rate of 32.4 Gbit/s. Requirement for 2560×1440 at 240 Hz 10 bpc is 30.77 Gbit/s data rate, which becomes 38.46 Gbit/s bit rate in HBR3 transmission. So it would be outside the limit. But you are comparing the data rate requirement of one against the bit rate limit of the other, which is incorrect If the monitor only supports HBR3, then either it uses DSC, or does not allow 240 Hz and 10 bpc simultaneously. In either case only HBR3 rated cable is needed, anyway.

Under the assumption that Tiktok has nefarious intent behind it, is banning it a good course of action or will it lead to censorship? That's the thing with the other that's doing what it will when it wants with whom.

Seller has most likely lowered "power limits", but why - no idea. 3DMark runs would be perhaps better proof, but also asking why the power limit is decreased might give some info imo.

Sounds like there's a short in the laptop and the brick is shutting down to prevent damage.

Just checked, yeah Linux Mint is fairly conservative with it's kernel updates, in GUI the update manager should have had an option to update kernels.

ive settled on a 5600x for 120, strix 2070 super for 230, teamgroup t force 2x8gb 3600mhz rgb kit for 50, asus B550-PLUS AC-HES for 85, crucial p3 plus 500gb for 50, in total for 495. Is that good?

Almost to page 1337! There was a big storm last night, lightning hit close to my building. Had a guy come to me this morning asking me to repair his laptop, absolutely insistent that something was wrong with the laptop. "What's wrong with it?" "Lightning hit it." "I see. But what's wrong, will it not charge, not turn on... etc?" "Nothing's wrong, but lightning hit it" "So the laptop's fine? It doesn't need any repair then." "Yeah but lightning hit it."
