I work with some people from Peru and Castillo is kinda unloved by all now (before all that). Peru's pass time is kicking unpopular and unlawful presidents out of the chair. They have like 5 under their belts now.

Yay!!!!
Thats the best course. Clean install and then pass whatever you need. If you don't have a real need for the old Hdd for extra space you can simply store it as backup!

« on: October 16, 2022, 09:20:45 am »It is really unusual to irrevocably fuck up your OS with a problem that doesn't fuck up the entire drive nowadays. A lot of the stuff that you used to be able to avoid by partitioning doesn't care anymore.
Nah, on old windows installs is far too common, and that trick saved time more than once when you had that situation and no other disk or backup devices.
Nowdays is probably not worth the effort, I'll grant you that.

Just pointing that setting up the disk with two partitions does have its merits. You can set up so the documents, pics, videos, downloads and desktop folders are in the largest partition, if your OS got flunked and unable to start, simply wipe the OS partition and reinstall a fresh one without worrying about personal files.

You are better by:
- Cloning your old HDD to your SSD, size allowing of course. Most straight forward option. Then format your HDD or use it as it is as backup.
- Clean, new OS in your SSD. Fresh software install of all programs and games, then copy all personal files, home made videos, photos and audios first, then documents, then everything else like savegames and config files and mods. Once all is up and running, files are safe, format your old HDD and use it as backup for anything you want.

I think there's a way to make them but not show them to anyone. If thats true you could make 365 each year and then just show the one you got lucky with.

I'm doing some research for the company I work for and would like to know what's considered a good salary there, well I guess it also depends on the city/region and line of work.
But in general, what makes a living wage there?

That's probably because any place that don't make a fuss about how people identify but how people are and treat each other is bound to be nice? I mean, you all could be aliens or AI for all I care, you are still wonderful lads.

So this is what I've done so far:
- Checked the heat control system, it was dirty but no to the point of becoming a problem (have seen far worst), it wasn't clogged or anything. Still cleaned it and applied new thermal paste. No dice.
- Checked the disk. Crystal disks says the drive is in "caution" but personally have seen drives works for months or years in with such warnings. The drive is working so the problem is not here.
- Checked the ram in another laptop, worked fine. Tried to use another, working ram in the faulty laptop, got the same error of turning off when booting the OS. Tried in both RAM slots, same result.
- Tried booting without the battery, same old shutdown whenever it tries to load any OS.
It keeps shutting down whenever it tries to load any OS, be it a live linux distro, the OS in the hard drive or a windows installer. Maybe is something with the RAM bus that gives issues whenever the computer tries to load it up, have seen the time to shutdown varies from immediately to a few seconds up to something like 30 seconds or so.
I'm about to send route the work to an electrical engineer.
