Aphrodites

I thought of this idea. What if we used the heat generated by the processing units of PCs and use it to make energy, for the PC or for fans? This will also take heat away from the processors to use it for cooling. This may have several limitations but I don't know what they are. This is why this post is here. Is this a viable solution, or is this just another madman's thoughts?

So far everyone's doubting my choice of virtual machine, my decision to overclock, or my decision to using Ubuntu. If people keep doing this this thread will be full. Please help.

Doesn't work, it cannot find a USB, also, I got Ubuntu with VirtualBox, I just wanted to overclock, so I need a regular version.

I have the Linux Ubuntu ISO file and could de-iso it into files. I would like to have a Bootable USB of the files. It says on disk utility that the computer thinks the USB is not Bootable. It is in MS-DOS FAT32 format and copying the files onto it doesn't work. Neither does any ISO into Bootable file app work since I have broken two USBs already. I would like to either put it onto the USB or onto an APFS partition, but I couldn't find anything that helps. Please help me get Linux, thank you.

@KrYpToCiD I already bought it, took a long while to get everything setup, 1 TB SSD because that's the default and I needed the device in like August the 20th...

@KrYpToCiD I'd say that over 3 digits is good enough for replacing a 3000 dollar SSD with a 1000 dollar one, and finding the 1000 dollar one as you mentioned is the tricky part so I'll try to do some research on people selling MacBook Pro 2018 SSDs. Thank you.

@KrYpToCiD The thread literally says don't do it as it's far from a DIY, so I probably can't do it. The advice is greatly appreciated, but only says what I already know. I'd say it is creative to think to other devices, as I will dig into later thanks to you (not sarcastic) , but sadly it doesn't work either.

@Jz1 The video is mostly about the VRM thermal throttling issue, but does say something about iFixit's teardown, it also links to a page that mentions there is no option to just simply connect a drive to another MacBook Pro, though it doesn't mention anything about removing the SSD and putting it in another MacBook Pro, since sources say it's soldered on, it does not seem like an option. Most of these sources all come to one conclusion, that your cannot upgraded a MacBook Pro and that it makes much more sense just to buy the extremely expensive ones from Apple. I will keep this thread open, in case anyone comes up with another solution, but there is one more question: since it is difficult and almost impossible to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2018's SSD, why is there, as counted, at least two sites that gives the list to the best SSDs to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2018? Thank you.

This is a chatbot written in Python, it is fairly simple, but is good enough, it might lag... import random say='Hi! I\'m an chatbot, called Medice, written in 50 lines! Enjoy!\n' saylist=[] try: savefile=open('savebot.txt','r') except: savefile=open('savebot.txt','w') savefile.write('hello'+'\n') savefile.write('\n') savefile.close() savefile=open('savebot.txt','r') while True: readl=savefile.readline() if readl=='\n': break saylist.append(readl) savefile.close() def s(word): saylist.append(word+'\n') savefile=open('savebot.txt','w') for i in range(0,len(saylist),1): savefile.write(saylist[i]) savefile.write('\n') lastspace=0 words=[] availible=[] word=word+' ' for num,i in enumerate(word): if i == ' ': words.append(word[lastspace:num]) lastspace=num for i in saylist: i=i.replace('\n','')+' \n' lastspace=0 words2=[] for num,j in enumerate(i): if j == ' ': words2.append(i[lastspace:num]) lastspace=num for j in words2: if j.replace('\n','') in words: if not j.replace('\n','') == word: availible.append(i) print(availible) if availible == []: return random.choice(saylist) else: return random.choice(availible) while True: say=s(input(say)) #should add matching for ?,. also find most matched phrasae, also dont let the bot repeat whatever was said in the first time it was said Also, I realized that using less than 100 lines is easy with min.js .

I am about to buy a MacBook Pro 2018. I want the 2 TB or 4TB storage, but the cost has kept me at bay. I did some research on the internet saying that it is, or may be possible, to upgrade a MacBook Pro 2018's SSD, but the SSD is proprietary (I'm not sure whether I spelled the word right...) so I cannot get the SSD if Apple doesn't sell it to me and that there would be no reason to buy another Apple laptop's SSD just for this one. There are three questions, I am not sure whether another MacBook Pro's SSD would work on the 2018 version and that is 2 TB, because it might be available, that I can, or someone else (Perhaps Linus ?) could put the SSD into the socket, so how the old SSD is secured, and how to actually get the SSD and put it in the socket without breaking. Cost is why I'm asking this in the first place so please put where I could get the materials needed and be aware of how much they cost (If it takes a 100$ screw set, it's acceptable, but if it takes a 10000$ hydraulic whatever huge gear that takes up an entire room, no.). Thank you. (edit 1) Just so that you know, flying or taping external drives on the MacBook Pro 2018 is not an option, since it is all of very hot, easy to break, non-portable, and ugly. (edit-end 1)
