The same reason they put sugar in it, they're electrolites you need both for energy to survive.

my windows 8.1 key wont fucking work. i have gotten the keys. i already know how to get them. i have the BIOS OEM key and the Windows 8.1 PRO key. but none of them will work, even the one that is fucking correct with the preview pic related.

what do i do? i can't factory reset because i fucked something up that ruined the original windows. this happened when i cleaned installed into windows 10 then reverted back my computer wouldnt start so i needed to get windows 8 a different way somehow.

i built it here to check whether you got the service name right (which you did), the package name is "thinkfan-0.9.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz"

How difficult/unreliable is installing W8 or W10 with an official image and keeping it activated without a product key?

If you don't need any games n shit that are exclusive to the win 10 store, 8 has the advantage of not being continually fucked with by ms, and it's still possible to avoid the backported telemetry by using wsus offline instead of windows update. You probably want classicshell to make the start menu better.

not hard at all. just use the ms mediacreationtool to download win10 and burn it to usb, install and in most cases it will auto activate, if not, then there are a few pretty simple methods to activate it

change it to GLES20.glClearColor(1.0f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 1.0f); so it's constantly red instead

Check your downloads history in your browser.
Use a client like JuiceSSH
Check out FOSS apps from FDroid, but I find Rocket Player working better.

Fuck, time to get a 2TB hard drive. For some damn reason, my hard drive cloner (hardware) is not cloning. Maybe it's because the new hard drive I bought shows the same damn ID with fdisk -l I wonder if I should have just bought a different brand and not the exact same copy via ID.

The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.

What do you think is the problem? Is there a way to trick this into thinking it's a different hard drive?

Do you use Rocket Player yourself?

there are other ways to copy the contents of a disk
using ddrescue suggests that the disk is damaged, and you're unable to take a file-level copy
if that's not the case, you can mount the disk and take a file-level copy instead, this will copy just that 15%

I just want to make sure the operating system will work as well if I copy it. Do you think if I just copy paste all the files, it'll just work?

oh, it's a windows system drive
what exactly is the result you're after here?
are you trying to say, move the installation to a smaller ssd?

What's the easiest way to crack an old rar file I have that I forgot the password to?
Feel like the password isn't too long but dunno

Yeah, I use the paid version (got some cash from google rewards) it saves where you left off which is nice if you're listening to podcasts (I think this feature is in the free version too)

I tried one of the F-Droid ones, it didn't save where you left off, but a good one I tried is Odyssey

Hard drive is bad, it keeps hanging when booting in Windows. chkdsk said some stuff about bad sectors, but did not fix the issue. I just want to move on to a new hard drive just in case anyway.

There are numerous tools, but how long do you think your password is? Or do you remember parts of it? If you remember parts of it it'll be a bit easier since you can make a table using crunch

Dunno. Maybe like 10 characters. Can't remember much else

Have you used Shuttle?

>Hard drive is bad, it keeps hanging when booting in Windows. chkdsk said some stuff about bad sectors, but did not fix the issue. I just want to move on to a new hard drive just in case anyway.
honestly, i would just rsync the contents of sdc3, then install a new copy of windows to a new disk
ddrescue is good for getting the most out of disks which are flakey, since it can resume/retry as much as needed, but ultimately, if data is corrupted due to bad sectors, the resulting copy won't be perfect, so you shouldn't keep using that installation, since ntfs provides no means to ensure files aren't corrupted

Is there a way to get the windows key form the old hard drive?

Nope, I'll look into it.

Look for a rar cracker for linux or some CTF writeup on how to use it for a good example.

Or should I just ignore that warning and ddrescue the bad hard drive /dev/sdc into /dev/sdd? My computer only has like 100GB free at the moment.

Yeah. I'm trying to find a good FOSS music player, and I tried the one in the Jow Forums wiki, Vanilla Music, but I don't like the UI.

that will just get the first 100GB of the disk, which is pretty useless
another option is to use ntfsclone, this can make sparse images of ntfs volumes, that take up only the space of what's on it
however, this assumes the ntfs filesystem is in good shape, since chkdsk failed, i don't know what you'll end up with

I have over 100GB of shitty quality porn in the form of JPEG images. Where would be the best place to upload this waste of space to the internet?

Odyssey is very similar to Rocket Player. But I don't know if either of them are FOSS. But Odyssey can be found in F-Droid, so I guess it is?

chkdsk finished and all, but I doubt it fixed the bad sectors? I was wondering if I just use ddrescue to clone directly from /dev/sdc to /dev/sdd instead of making an image. That should not cause any problems right?

Just in case, sine I can't mount the disk in linux at the moment for some weird reason, I'll just backup important files on Windows, then attempt to do that. Unless you think that's a bad idea, s

-Since the system sees both hard drives as the same ID (should have just bought a different brand)
/dev/null

Vinyl Music Player

if /dev/sdd is at least as big as /dev/sdc, then yes, you can ddrescue directly to sdd

bruh i havent gotten to that part of the office, still on season 5 no spoilerinos

It's the same exact hard drive. The only worry that I have is this:
>/dev/sdc
>Disk identifier: 7ECE6BA5-5FF1-4A2A-A1A8-724446A423BF

>dev/sdd
>The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.
>Disk identifier: 7ECE6BA5-5FF1-4A2A-A1A8-724446A423BF

Also, I have followed a tutorial on how to use a tool by NirSoft called ProdKey and have recovered the windows key. I think I'll backup some important files and just clone with ddrescue, ignoring these messages.

the current GPT GUID doesn't matter since you'll be clobbering it by cloning sdc to it
these are supposed to be unique to each GPT header, so the fact they're the same suggests they were clones of each other at some point
you can change the GUID using gdisk if you like

Is adding a site as "trusted" in noscript a risky thing I should only do for sites I actually trust? Or not that big a deal?

Was gonna do it for a private tracker since searching via address bar keyword seems broken if I don't

Oh alright. But I did a quick format in Windows after I tried to clone with my hardware cloner (showed as corrupt) I guess I'll do a format from Gparted before cloning with ddrescue.
Thanks for the clarification.

I usually trust sites I go to, but I ignore the ones that are ads or google related (unless captcha)

the GUID only changes if you create a new GPT, changing the partition layout or contents doesn't affect it
you can make a new GPT from in gparted, which should do it, though this will remove existing partitions
changing the GUID from in gdisk will only change the GUID, leaving partitions as-is

Can a cast iron skillet like this block a bullet?

I was thinking what I would do if a Shooter invaded my home and was wondering if grabbing this from my kitchen to protect my vitals would be a viable strategy.

So my SIM card is only working in the phone that it came with, every other one isn't allowing me to access the network and they're all GSM phones, I go to connect to the cell network (MetroPCS) and it says this sim does not allow access to this network. Should I even bother trying to get a new SIM from metro if that might not work either?

XLD

If you're faster than a bullet I don't see why not. It might ricochet like in the movies though so you'll want to take that into account if your going to basically play tennis with an intruder.
