Doesn't what @-Kriss- suggested fit your needs just perfectly? Browse through the amazon recommenations and you will find the likes of this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CE70TZC/ref=psdc_1194464_t3_B00I5SW8MC, which appears to be even smaller and many other ones. Do you want it to have a T9 style keyboard instead?

So what do I do now? chmod -R 755 / on everything? Themes don't work, Dolphin does not let me access home directory, it looks bad, but hopefully is solveable.

So, I was setting up a backup server to prevent situations like this from happening, but irony has just had it that I ran the chmod on the /. (slash dot) directory instead of ./ (dot slash) When I realized what was happening, it was already too late, it had gone through a sizeable portion of the directories in the root folder. Now, do you know what it would take to fix that? Thankfully I did not run with sudo privileges. From my understanding, only the user-owned writable files got affected, and from what I gather, some of the files in my home directory have reatined their privileges. Would it be possible for me to recover it all just the way it was before, or do I have to start again with a fresh install? I've got my home directory backed up, so it would not be a huge issue. Will make sure I also backup the whole system using timeshift or another utility in the future.

I have attempted to disable the powersave option going by the documentation available, but it did not have any effect. I am using pulseaudio. Motherboard is ASUS H97-PRO. The only workaround I found was to sox black noise on startup.

Hello, I've recently bought an ASUS motherboard with a Realtek ALC892 audio chip on it. It seems to be one of the most dreaded chips on Linux, as it will go into Powersave mode regardless of the configuration, resulting in very unpleasant ground-loop sound in my system. The thing I'm looking for is a way to set up an audio source that would keep the chip constantly running after boot. Funny how just visiting the LTT forum has resolved the issue for now, but as much as I'd like to, I can 't stay there all day long. Thanks in advance for any answers. The OS is KDE Neon. It uses Pulseaudio, I'd like to keep it.

They don't pirate, they just don't bother to go through the deactivation and reactivation process every single time they change a motherboard. This is only related to the licensing process. What I guess you are asking though is if it's fine to just change the motherboard and leave the system as it was. Yes, it is absolutely fine, your windows install may become deactivated after motherboard change, but it will reactivate itself soon, as the install is tied to your Microsoft Account, or you might have to just retype the key. As to performance and drivers, this is a non-issue, the OS will handle the drivers by itself in almost all cases. If it doesn't boot though, then you might be forced to reinstall, or at least remove the old drivers manually.

My Corsair VS was rattly as heck, but when I switched to bequiet base model Pure Power 9 it's actually pretty solid. Have not tested it in an isolated environment, but it's pretty much inaudible when you creak a window. Now I'm on Straight Power 11 and it's damn quiet. Would go with the fanless Seasonic though, they are absolutely reliable, have built in protection, and of course inaudible.

Where did you connect them to and what is your motherboard model? Some headers may be not controllable, and you might have wired it straight to the PSU through the sata connector. Edit: Check NZXT software if you can control them from there.

What are your temperatures? What I would personally do is to set the max fan rpm where you can tolerate it and let the card throttle to its heart content. Undervolting and underclocking jut a little bit are absolutely great ways to lower the temperatures without hindering performance too much. Also, it might just be that you need to reapply the thermal paste.

In my middle any usage of mobile phones was banned in the school hall. reason - students should not be distracted and "socialize" This was total and utter BS. Nobody socialized any more, nobody paid attention any more than they would with the phone, and it was just a point of conflict between students who tried to get them out when the teachers weren't looking. Funny how smoking in the area behind the school building that had no cameras was super common back then and nobody cared. In high school phones were allowed and it was a relief, everyone uses them according to their needs, everyone socializes to their best ability, and it's actually helpful to be able to text a friend between lessons to meet up at set place and time in the hall. As to using the phones during the lessons, every professor treats them differently, but again it was convenient to use our phones whenever we felt the need to, and not babysit us and tell us to put them down, especially if it wasn't distracting to anyone and done in respectful enough manner. Also, I personally believe it's a matter of respect to the teachers. Some had absolutely no authority above us, but then there were some that had so much respect that they could leave the class mid exam and not one person would cheat, take out their phone or otherwise. And that was when we all were 13 year old edgy teens.

You could, but this will likely degrade the tape due to heat, resulting in either crumbly or sticky mess in a few year's time, as to the conductivity, it should be fine. You can use thermal pads as well, I think they are more likely to withstand the temperatures and will be easier to remove in the future

Use Linux from now on or reinstall Windows, this thread is going nowhere.

The ADATA XPG6000 512GB NVME M.2 SSD. Was just wondering as to what the controller treats as free space, as due to some broken software logic it well could have seen almost full NTFS towards the end and then assumed the whole drive is full. Kind of stupid looking at it now, as the controller is designed specifically with handling data in mind in all cases, but still. Actually, I run Windows only when I absolutely have to, hence no love with the amount of space it gets, but will be switching to it for games and selling off my PS4 soon. Other than that, just a copy of FL Studio on the windows install, 120GB feels plenty, but it will get filled up eventually as I use it. And actually, is the Windows page file located on the free space, or does it have preallocated space already? I always thought the Windows took up so much space on the disk partly because there were a couple of GB of page file included in the system files.

You connect your fans to either the 4 pin or 3 pin fan headers on your motherboard. they look like this: (here they are white, may be black) Usually you should use the 4 pin headers on 4 pin fans, as they will allow you to contol the fan speed, but some 3 pin headers also do that, use 3 pin headers for 3 pin fans. It should be noted that either plug will fit either header with no issues. Look for the labels "SYS_FAN", "CPU_FAN" or "CASE_FAN" near those headers. Alternatively, your case fans might have come with Molex connectors, and you connect them directly to the PSU. If that is the case, I may tell you how to reduce the speed on them, as by default this type will run on 100% speed all the time. You can also tell us the name of your motherboard so it's easier to point to the correct ones, or you can consult the motherboard's manual.

So, I know that leaving some free space on a storage medium is vital for its performance, but I'm worry about how to do that. I will be transferring my current dual boot system onto a new 512GB SSD soon, and one thing that popped up in my head was how I should partition it for optimal performance. The current plan is to give the Windows NTFS partition 120 GB of space, which will get filled up pretty quickly, and leave the rest for Linux ext4 and swap. Now my question is, how does the drive and the OS handle the free space, should I leave some of it unallocated, or should I make sure that each OS has enough free space on its own partition? While Linux handles the NTFS just fine, Windows has issues with ext4, and presents the space on here as inaccessible or full. Is the SSD controller going to just use the free space anywhere on the drive, regardless of the file system, or does it need a specific kind of free space to work properly? For all matters, I'm going to put Linux on the beginning of the drive and Windows towards the end, since it's easier to avoid unmovable space issues that way if I ever decide to resize the partitions. I probably overthink this, but I'm no expert on the technology and don't want to mess with it too much once it's set up, so any answers will be highly appreciated.

Well it looks about as low as you can get with this card and those fans. 70 degrees isn't that bad at all, and your case airflow with the fans set up seems to be plenty good.

ADATA XPG SX6000 Pro 256GB PCIe x4 NVMe, it's cheap, it's very fast, it's reliable. Just pop it in the PCIe 3.0 x4 m.2 slot on your MB and it will work fine. As with PCIe lanes, you should not worry unless the performance is below 1GB/s read, but this should not be the case in your setup, as it's all PCIe 3.0

Put the title of your post in Google and you will find the answers, anywhere from your local parts shop to amazon or banggood, they should carry kits, and some carry individual types of screws for a dollar a bunch also.

When in doubt, update BIOS, I don't know how it would help, but it's a simple thing to do, and solves a lot of motherboard related issues.

So my mother's laptop has stopped working, doesn't go past the blue POST screen, so I figured out the HDD has died, and was right. Now, to get straight to the point, I'm on linux (KDE neon), have taken the disk out from the laptop and plugged to my PC. It spins up fine, but it won't mount in my system. When I open the partition manager, I see the disk and it's full volume, but only the system info and boot partitions show any data on them, the 280GB windows partition shows 0B used. I've tried testdisk, and it detects some other partitions, I believe 5 or so in total, but I have no idea what I'm looking at, as I'm not familiar with this utility in the slightest. Too bad I didn't save the output to a file. The disk is now unplugged, I don't want to mess with it so as to not make the matter worse. I would just dd the whole disk over and work from there, but I don't have enough storage space available at my disposal, so for now I have to work directly on the dying disk. Of course I may replug it again if it won't damage the HDD any further. Are there any utilities that would give me back the access to the files, so I could pull the important folders to my computer, without having to copy over the whole HDD image? The data isn't critical, just some photos and documents, but I would be glad if someone had the brains to guide me through the process if they've done similar things before. footnote is I've finally decided on turning my PC into some sort of home media server/backup with a new 2TB HDD and buy myself a nice SSD with the order, so it's not all that bad. also, funny how I was telling her that it may very well die soon, as it's an 8 year old laptop, and she should keep her data safe, yet never got around to coming up with a robust solution for backing up data from any of our computers. surprised pikachu face when it eventually happened.

In, out, doesn't matter if it works. For me having the noctua nf-f12's pushing the air through the radiator makes them far quieter than pulling air, either way motherboard components don't heat up so much that they need any special kind of airflow for it to matter, exhausting makes the in-case temp cooler, preferable if you have HDD's or something like that. Air direction in the case doesn't matter at all.

Hi, so I've just received a new phone (Lenovo P2) and updated it to Android 7.0, then installed messenger on it and it is the old version still (without the circle in the bottom, my day cards etc), just like on my old SGS2+ (Android 4.2). butthen my friend logged onto his account on my old phone and guess what. The latest version of the messenger app on my old Android 4.2 phone. As soon as I switched accounts it switched back to the old version. What's going on? Is there a setting for that somewhere? Is the version tied to the account? In the attachment is the screenshot of what messenger looks right now on my old phone

have been living with 4.3" screen for quite a long time and it's enough for me, but that's personal preference. not a professional photographer also, taking pictures only occasionally. and I was saying that I predict that G5s won't be on sale for a couple of months since it's so new, maybe the price will drop at first like with any new phone, but nothing more. anyways thanks <3

just compared them and the difference is tiny, I mean it has dual cameras, (which is a gimmick, plus they are both f2.0 vs f1.7, which may not matter but whatever), slightly better selfie cam, slightly bigger screen and relatively slightly thinner bezels, but that's all. Plus it isn't even on the market yet, so sure there will be no sales in months on this phone. I made up my mind, ordering G5 Plus. Thanks guys by the way, really nice community ^^ Or maybe there are alternatives? I doubt it, the closest I got was some chinese "Ulefone Future", but it has a couple of flaws from what I've read.

The Moto is on sale right now, and I don't want for the sale to be over and get stuck for another couple of months lol. Still I will wait for some more replies and decide.
