You've already tried everything (and more) than I would have suggested that doesn't involve file loss. My suggestion is try to contact your company tech support and boss to explain the situation and try to get a solution, and in the meantime do whatever you can without an internet connection.

This was always the biggest thing I thought was lacking from iFixit scores, they only scored the physical side of a repair, but software has become just as important to the repairability equation. Who cares how easy it is to get to switch the screen if doing so bricks the device? Great change from them.

I'd suggest either double sided tape or just thin foam. Foam will crush down and keep it from moving around when it's closed back up.

There is no "shifting the load" taking place. CPUs and GPUs do totally different things. What might happen is the GPU becomes the bottleneck instead, which will reduce the load on the CPU, but only because the game as a whole is running slower.

You can get this data, but you're going to have to pay through the nose. Getting it yourself would require paying many registrars for access to their registrar listings, which is going to cost a few thousand USD each. There are companies that have already done this step and will provide the results to you, but again not for free. The cheapest option I could find is WhoisFreaks, where you can get newly registered domains for only $400 USD per month (or $4000 USD per year! A bargain!). Edit: After a bit more digging, it looks like there's at least one cheaper option. Whoisds offers free (incomplete, up to 100000 domains) lists the next day, and possibly complete lists for $20 USD per month. To my knowledge there is no way to get domains "as they are registered".

You could try installing Proxmox on TrueNAS Scale using the instructions to install it over an existing Debian instance: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye I'm skeptical that it will work, but you can try.

VRR is "variable refresh rate", it's a technology to reduce tearing if you aren't getting a consistent 120 FPS in a game. 48-120 is the monitor's VRR range for GSync/FreeSync (and I think the newest consoles have VRR support too?). Unless you have one of those turned on in a game the monitor will show a consistent 120 Hz.

Voicemeeter can output to multiple devices simultaneously. Set Windows output to the Voicemeeter input, then output to multiple devices with Voicemeeter. No weird stereo mix nonsense. That said, I guarantee pairing bad monitor speakers (all monitor speakers are bad) with laptop speakers is not going to give you the improvement you hope it will. Mixing spoiled and unspoiled milk just gives you twice as much spoiled milk. If you want my advice, don't use the monitor speakers. Unless you have a laptop in the league of the MacBook or Dell XPS (whose speakers reach the dizzying heights of "not bad") you'd be better served buying a cheap pair of speakers (~$20 USD) like the Creative Pebble or something from Logitech if you want better audio. Or look at studio monitors from companies like Mackie, Edifier, or PreSonus for the next step up (~$100 USD).

10c above the ambient temperature (21c), so 31c.

Lmao. Hey anyone up for totally rewriting a fairly modern AAA multiplayer game made by 100+ people on your own for free before getting sued into debt slavery by Hasbro and MicroActiBlizzKing?

What headset do you have and what is it plugged into? If the headset is USB powered or wireless there's probably nothing you can do. If it uses a 3.5mm audio jack the source of the noise is probably whatever it's plugged into. You could try other devices to see if the noise changes or goes away. If it does, you could try getting an audio adapter or dongle to power the headset instead.

That looks to me like it's just a thick application of standard grey-blue thermal paste.

Ah, the key value is a giant bitmask of the keys from this file: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h

I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to accomplish, but you almost certainly don't need to bother with any of this yourself. Other people have written input libraries and/or utilities to get keys from input devices. Take advantage of them. This SE post has some additional detail similar to the one you linked, and it mentions some tools to avoid dealing with it.: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/94322/is-it-possible-for-a-daemon-i-e-background-process-to-look-for-key-presses-fr

You can click on the categories and see a more detailed breakdown of what is using the space. 30 GB sounds to me like it's just Windows itself and the space it reserves for updates.

There are adapters to mount M.2 drives in PCIe x1 slots, but that will limit the drive to 1/4 of its maximum bandwidth. It might make more sense to install SATA SSDs instead. They're not significantly slower for nearly all applications, especially when the M.2 drive is limited to PCIe x1.

The only volunteer place I know that does this kind of thing is Free Geek. There are a few locations in cities around the US. If you don't live near one, I don't know of much else. In most countries a commercial entity can't let you help for free because of labor laws. (imagine, "oh no we don't have employees, they're all volunteers")

What you want is a MIDI interface, and there are plenty of USB ones.

Samba's settings are in smb.conf, which will be located in /etc/samba on the TrueNAS machine. Here is a webpage going over it https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html The setting isn't going to create slowness or problems on its own, but it will allow larger transfers to take place, which could. That said, a few tens of thousands of files open isn't actually as big of a deal as it sounds. Increasing this value to 2-4x the original (32768-65536) should be enough to get the initial bulk transfer over the line. After that it could be left as is or dropped back to the default.

You probably need a 32 GB card at most for that many pictures. However, I'd suggest getting 128 or 256 anyway because they're only $10-20 USD and you get much more storage for your money compared to lower capacity cards. No harm in having more room for pictures.

What have you tried already? The obvious first step is increasing "max open files" in the [global] section of smb.conf, it defaults to 16384 or thereabouts, and you're apparently hitting it. Did that not work?

You could try taping the cable in place, as long as you can see the red light on the other end of the cable it will probably work fine. If that and other solutions in the thread don't work out USB optical dongles are pretty cheap.

Aaaaaand they're walking it back. I give 50/50 odds they did this on purpose to make whatever they say next seem reasonable by comparison.

Just use one pair of speakers? Hook up both one at a time and listen to them, use the ones you like better. If you absolutely must use both I suggest putting them in parallel. If you do that the load on the amp will be 3 ohms, which is out of spec, but if you keep the volume relatively low it should handle it fine. Listen for any distortion or signs that the amp is struggling and back off the volume if you hear it.
