You are right, it doesn’t happen with any other O/S except iOS where you have to pay people/Apple to fix it (or reset the OS) or Windows where the stock response is “reinstall the O/S”

How valuable is the data on your laptop? Did you have it backed up? If so, stop worrying and just take the Windows approach. If not… Find someone local to you who is able to fix it (good luck with that…)

As for the rest - you come over as someone who expects someone else to fix your shit for free with no information other than “waaaa it’s stopped working”

This may help How to as Smart Questions

Fwiw, based on your brief description of symptoms, I would say your boot device file system is broken somehow. To fix you need to mount it on another booted OS and fsck it (however if it mounts, copy valuable data off onto other media, then fsck it) . How to do that is left to your powers of Google. Not warranting my response in any way.

Best of luck.

First up - I know nothing about your specific problem. Let me add some pointers as to why you may be having difficulty…

You need to provide way more detail than a screenshot (which shows nothing really) and “why is it broken?”

What is the hardware, what is the boot device, what is the boot loader (and version), what does the boot loader config look like… There could be any number of things that stop the boot, including a corrupt boot file.

No one is able to diagnose your problem from the information you have provided.

If you are unwilling to grab a USB stick from a retailer, boot a different OS image and try some diags on your original file system you may well find people reluctant to help (for free…)

I use it on every phone handset at work… I guess it’s the switch PoE not the pc mobo but the effect is the same. If you are talking pc mobo PoE I guess it could be handy if you had a PoE camera…

How did the flap and, indeed, starship have enough control authority after the burn up during re-entry, to complete the soft landing?

The booster done good as well of course…

Flipping awesome outcome… Beers all around.

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Temperature is not scalar

Messers Rankine, Kelvin and even Fahrenheit would beg to differ… Temperature is scalar, however it’s effects on living things is generally not mostly owing to chemistry.

The claim that a 40° C jump in Sub-Zero temperatures is tolerable, but wouldn’t be in the UK or whatever they’re saying in this article… That’s nonsense

Au contraire my dear fellow. For a human, the article is entirely correct. A rise of 40° C in a particularly cold place is indeed tolerable for a human. A similar rise in, say, the UK today would put the temperature at 52° C - hotter than Death Valley on a well above average day and considerably less tolerable.

Of course a single recorded rise in temperature isn’t a good indication of climate…

I sit corrected.

I agree, it would be good to be able to browse all communities on an instance.

You can’t - I think it’s a lemmy/feature of federation thing.

Use the search function for communities, posts or whatever.

No one has seen Highlander 2 There can be only 1!

A clump.

Yup. The curse of the ‘fair to middling’… Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money…

Hi it’s your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) …

Au contraire…

They want to lose them so that the Starmfurher has to do unpopular things to counter all the seeds of disaster already sown, so that in 5 years time the Tories will be back in for the foreseeable future. You read it here first.

If it was an SSD… Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete… However the format is broken, as is the drive.

And another thing… It appears to be drawing the post about to scroll on to the screen at the bottom over the top of the one scrolling off at the top.

Phone is a Huawei P20 Pro running emui 12 if that makes any difference

Yup. Never loses place at all

Here is a better screen capture that shows it happening… Its really not all threads that show the behaviour and manifestations don’t seem to be related to the number of posts in the thread.

It appears I can upload it to imgur but it does involve a lot of dark muttering (sorry old guy here…) it’s the first few seconds of the screen recording you are interested in - the glitch only happened once but I scrolled a bit more to see if it would do it again.

Linky

I think I have a screen recording showing it. What host do people use for gifs?

Well it was installed from the play store… So it might be a pwa but I don’t think so… Nothing indicates it is anything other than a native Android app.

Or is that a whooshing noise in my ears?
