It's storytime. My laptop (Dell XPS OLED 2019) started suddenly shutting down (fans still running but screen completely black) during usage a month ago. It started when I was playing some Rocket League. Then it started happening during normal usage. Then the laptop wouldn't turn on anymore. Sometimes it would still turn on after multiple tries, but would shutdown after a couple minutes. I managed to run some Dell diagnostics software during the limited time it would still turn on and it only told me the battery had worn out a bit (which I knew already since it would only last half as much time on battery compared to when I bought it). I had had some issues with this laptop before (broken power plug...) and - while I suspected a CMOS battery failure - I didn't feel like spending any more money fixing this laptop and started out planning a new build to replace it. Bought a NUC Extreme 12, some RAM, and a Intel ARC A770 graphics card. Only component from my old laptop which was transferred over was my SSD. Installation goes fine, I update the OS to Windows 11, start up some Rocket League and after an hour of playing, it suddenly shut down again, just like with my laptop: black screen, fans still running. Is there any chance it's the SSD that's faulty? Running diskdrive get status in the command line returns "OK". Or is it just the immature Arc graphics driver throwing me for a spin? I don't know anymore at this point.

To put that into perspective: this is all due to his stock holdings, he barely has any cash and sometimes takes loans out to cover his living expenses.

Is there even a point running beta software nowadays? I stopped caring about which version of Android I have a long time ago: all the features I might need are already there Running Windows LTSC on my main computer has been the best decision I've made in years.

If they are really that hard to tell apart, maybe Apple should sue OnePlus for infringing on their intellectual property.

Instead of making it impossible to exceed the speed limit, they should use an acceleration pedal where the force needed to accelerate beyond the speed limit rises exponentially. This would make it physically painful to exceed the speed limit, but would allow it for short periods of time (overtaking another car or taking your sick mother to the hospital)

I don't buy phones without headphone jacks Only my Samsung and LG left (maybe Pocophones will keep them too?)

This was surprisingy insightful, thanks for the great video. For people who absolutely want a MacBook, what would you recommand? Spare some money and get the one with the most low-end processor?

I was just pointing out that requiring an .edu email address is a good way to prevent underage kids of joining the app.

A lot of 16 year old girls pretend to be 18 and can be found on Tinder. All in all this Tinder U idea seems good.

Text already seems small on my 23" 1080p display, if I want an equivalent DPI on a bigger monitor, what should I aim at? 1440p on a 30" monitor?

TBH I don't care much about RAID-0, all I want is that all my storage is listed as a single C drive... What happenss if I merge my two SSDs with the Storage Spaces feature creating a single space? It seems like all "data" is erased during this process, but what does that mean? Only files or my whole operating system?

It seems that RAID-0 is supported https://ark.intel.com/products/89187/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC6i7KYK Can I enable RAID-0 and still keep my current data after I install the second drive?

I bought a Samsung 500GB 850 EVO M.2 SATA Solid State Drive for my Intel NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK two years ago and would like to add some storage by adding a second SSD. I can get a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 for about 123€. Is it possible to get 1 TB of storage in RAID 0 even if the model numbers are different? How should I configure my BIOS to achieve this?

Every one of these big Windows updates breaks my laptop's touchpad I have to reinstall the WXindows 8.1 drivers from the manufacturers webiste every time I's a fucking joke

Sounds nice! When can we expect the first reviews? I'll get my own place soon and this would be a great first build for me, especially since I don't game that much anymore anyway.

I haven't been following AMD recently, can someone give me some info about these APUs? How do they compare to the rest of the line-up? Is the iGPU any good? I will probably to do a hyper budget build this summer.

Underpowered and overpriced from what I see.

I don't really understand what this whole swatting thing is (and I didn't bother readiung the thread to be honest), but isn't the most stupid guy in this wholme affair the policemen who shot an innocent guy unarmed opening his door?

Nope...

Is there any way I can retreive the notes from an overwritten PDF file. I have a 300 page documents in my Downloads folder where I added comments for the first 250 pages. Then when I decided to continue my work on it 2 days ago, I accidently opened a version from the file saved on my desktop without any notes. I added notes to the pages 251-300 and saved it by overwriting the document with notes in the Downloads folder. So yeah I lost the notes of the first 250 pages and I have obviously no data restoration point on my laptop. Any way to retrieve it?

Surprised they are doing this now, when AMD finally got their shit together

Maybe Intel will start to act on this? Source: https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3022363/dell-starts-flogging-biz-laptops-with-intel-management-engine-disabled

The options are quitely disappearing, the Samsung S9 might ditch it and once Samsung does so, LG and Oneplus will follow. I just think it's laugable to call it old and deprecated technology while litterally every piece of tech I own (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, Raspberry Pi) has one. And of course I COULD buy a USB-C headphone if I don't want to hassle of charging it, but that still means throwing away my 3 wired headphones and losing the abilty to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time. And the 'increase thinness' meme is a poor argument given the latest iPod is 6 mm thin and has a headphone jack.

Kek, JerryRigEverything nailed it on why he wants a headphone jack: around the 1:10 mark. Wireless headphones are great and you know what, you can use them even if your phone has a headphone jack. So why not have a headphone jack?
