A fucked up EFI partition on the 4tb drive can cause this behavior. Get a usb drive adapter and clean the hdd.

Admin cmd:

diskpart
list disk
select disk #
clean

Plug in back into the sata controller n reboot.

I've tested it on two different computers and still won't show up as a disk anywhere.

What do you mean by a server HDD? Is the interface SAS or SATA?
A broken drive (one that's not spinning up or just unresponsive) shouldn't completely stop a PC from booting at all. However, in my experience connecting a SAS drive to a SATA controller prevented a PC from ever showing the BIOS splash screen. Let us know about the HDD part number (NOT serial number) and the controller you are using to connect it, maybe it's still salvageable.

It's a Seagate 4TB Ironwolf NAS. PN is 2DR166-500.

is this one where you have to block pin3?

Doesn't seem like it, according to slopilot only the higher end enterprise HDDs (Exos etc.) of that generation had this feature

I assume the drive doesn't spin up at all (make any sound)? I'm going to stay with the theory that something might have died on the HDD's PCB (maybe due to a voltage spike from the PSU).
If you really want to keep the drive you can maybe ask a local technician to check if any of the chips on the flipside of the PCB are shorting out (you could probably do this yourself if you are comfortable with operating a multimeter).
Alternatively sell it as "broken" or for parts if there wasn't any confidential data on the drive, otherwise it is required the hard drive meets a hammer at a high speed

Not any time recently. As stated earlier, the broad "it just works" fixes don't really work as they require a lot of faffing about. The goal of the project was to avoid said faffing about.

risk of opening a can of worms, how many of you guys actually use Linux on a day-to-day basis or on your personal machines?

I don't, yet, but I likely will at some point.

I get shit for this in the linux thread, but here goes. My problem with "the year of the Linux desktop" is the smug elitism and lies of the community. I sum it up like this.

"How do I do X?"
"Do Y."
"But Y doesn't do X."
"You shouldn't want to do X."

It's not a problem unique to Linux.

A great recent example is the salt around Linus Tech Tips Linux Challenge video. Complaining popular YouTubers like LTT should promote linux, but then screaming and throwing a tantrum when he runs into problems. They demand he use industry contacts to do all the hard work for him, but he says in the video that he doesn't because the average user isn't going to have the worlds top linux experts on call. They say Linux gaming is here, just use GeForce Now in a browser. Some even going so far as saying that LTT should postpone the challenge (ie. using his computer) for a few months until his distro of choice is in better shape.

Even the reaction videos will open by saying distro doesn't matter, then immediately shit on his choice of distro.


I think I'd do fine in Linux. My productivity software is mostly either open source, or done in a browser (Google docs is good enough for my word processing needs). That just leaves gaming and game development. I don't play competitive online games so the anti-cheat issue shouldn't be a problem.

It all makes sense when you remember the purpose of using Linux is to use Linux.

There's three ways to use Linux, and there are different distros suited for the task.

1. As a customized tool set up to do a very specific task then forgotten about as it doesn't need oversight

2. As a hobby or experiment where it needs to be constantly changed and updated to handle new trends and features

3. As a turnkey solution that is largely capable of managing itself and doesn't depend on deep customization or timely interventions from the user in order to operate.

#3 largely gets forgotten about, yet is the version most users who is familiar with what a computer is but doesn't want to dedicate too much time on the finer details to make it work. Linux Mint is the distro that best examplifies this.

Got an oled and now I’m looking at switching out my old boards, pads, and mice. Anyone have recommendations? Been looking at some some stuff on Amazon.

Edit:IEMs too.

This is highly personal and dependent on budget. Mice tech doesn’t change very fast. What do you need a new board for? IEMs are for playing music on stage. Get speakers or headphones.

ETA: if by IEMs you mean earbuds they are all trash. If you really need them go for the cheap Sony ones they are good enough, but you are better off with speakers and/or headphones.

Just wanted some stuff to tinker with.
 
It says a lot about the state of Windows that a significant portion of the Windows userbase would rather deal with the headaches of desktop Linux than continue to live in the Mumbai slum of operating systems.
 
why in the nine hells are people parading turboquant as some miraculous clankery shit? it even got sloptubers making video about it in my country when it's currently flooded with chinkshit CUSU and Killsre memories..

I think the test for how true that sentiment is among non autists will be borne out in sales of the MacBook Neo. Anecdotally, I already have family members as well as colleagues all set on buying one this year as replacements for their horrible Windows 11 laptops.

I’ll keep that in mind. Most of my peripherals are pre-Covid or close to it and probably due for a refresh.

honestly jeettube recommended me a good video:
i decided to look at the channel and he even has a deep dive on IEM's too, also he is from Romania so you know it's good shit, mind the copper.
onto the mechanical keyboards i said that i haven't seen any with keypads, especially the ones for sale here, it's so fucking gay because i use KP keys more than i'd like to admit and mechanical keyboards do have lower latency compared to my shitty office one but they lack KP...

I’ve seen his videos. His content is decent enough even if I think some of his thumbnails and titles are kind of ridiculous.

I was trying to buy one the other day because I maybe need to learn some Mac shit, but Apple's expert security policies blocked me until ??? because I didn't remember my password or bogus security questions. Now I am sober and will no longer consider buying a Mac.

Generally a good rule is to not use impossible to remember passwords and fake security question answers on a device that, due to extreme historical levels of theft, is designed to require Apple's assistance to unlock if the password is forgotten.

Should use common passwords and easily accessible information due to theft concerns, gotcha.
