What's a glob pattern? How do I use a shell? I'm just a regular win user

The bootloader on my Essential Phone is completely fucked. All I want to do is flash TWRP and no commands work. Absolutely any command at all will throw random errors for no reason and they keep changing,
If I spam -a_b I can get it to switch partitions, but I have to do it like 50 times in a row, and then when I try to send anything to the phone it just hangs permanently.
What the fuck do I do

Can someone help me figure out how to rename an unknown named file in different directories to a single name in its same directory?

To explain, I have a single jpg image of unknown name in many different directories, but I want them all to be called the same name like "picture.jpg".

So:
/dir1/subdir1/asdfjz.jpg -> /dir1/subdir1/picture.jpg
/dir2/subdir2/jvzxk.jpg -> /dir2/subdir2/picture.jpg

How can I do this?
I can find the images using find . -iname "*.jpg", but I can't figure out how to get the mv command to keep them in the same directory changing the filename to my desired name.

Is my graphics card fucked?
AMD RX 460, bought 2 years ago, I have weird colored dots in some games (Space Engine, GRID 2) but not others (TF2). They flicker on the screen.
Sometimes I have rectangular "broken textures" on the screen, even desktop, especially after the PC has been in hibernate or sleep a few times over the course of the week.

Do i absolutely need one of them PSU testers for 10 bucks to determine whether a PSU is in working order or can i just test it out directly via that one weird paperclip trick? Also can the paperclip be any material

Attached: mzzmndcwntcg.jpg (800x531, 30K)

Yes and no.
The paperclip jumper is merely a "PSU-enable". You can then probe using a multimeter the different voltages it generates, to confirm the PSU is on and at least functioning somewhat normally. What this method does not reveal is any problems the PSU might encounter under load. You would need a resistor and ammeter to determine if it can supply appropriate current.

how are admin PCs that run windows server/domain controller connected to the network? Are they just connected to the switch just like other PCs? Or do they need to be connected a certain way?

Considering USB 3.0/3.1 is as fast as it is, external factors aside, is there any real performance degradation using an external drive?

Download OOshutup10 and disable the settings wisely.
Search /wxg/ general, then find main pastebin link then find diagtrack listener
Go to modern setting > privacy then disable wisely
Go to windows firewall advance, disable connection for explorer and cortana (the main pastebin should have that)
In 1903, you can almost uninstall all of the installed modern apps. You can create powershell script to do the trick though, but make sure you don't fuck up by uninstalling cortana or some apps (forgot which one).
I think that's it.

They can reach that far if you aim them properly and mount them securely so they stay aimed. Bandwidth may be unreliable depending on a lot of factors.

Multi-mode fiber is the ideal medium at that distance. You'd get 30~100x faster link and way more reliable, but you'd have to pay a network guy with proper tools to set up the cable.

Just did a full wipe of my phone and installed lineage16.I dont have supersu or magisk installed(root has been giving me problems with apps and the hide feature does not work and i cannot be locked out of my account any further)
How can the cts profile check be failing if root isnt installed?

Bought a Lenovo Y520 a year ago, but it starts slowing down when opening big Solidworks assemblies (1000+ parts). It has an i7 7700HQ, a GTX 1050 - but the bottleneck appears to be the 8GB of RAM. When I've got Solidworks running those big assemblies it's using 80-90% of the available RAM. Fortunately there are two slots in this laptop, with the other being filled by an 8GB Samsung DDR4 SODIMM unit (2400MHz), so I could throw in another, although I've never actually done that. I know any upgrade should be DDR4 SODIMM to fit, and should be 2400MHz to play nice with the existing unit, but what's the best upgrade plan?
>Throw in a single 8GB unit
>Throw in two new matching 8GB units
>Throw in a single 16GB unit
In the first case, it'd be mismatching because I can't find another Samsung - is that going to cause problems? In the second case, I'd be spend 80 EUR for 16GB of RAM, which does not sound like a good deal compared to spending a bit more for 24GB total, but that's a mismatched pair again. What should I do?

Make sure you've turned off USB debugging, as that can sometimes fuck with things. If you've done a complete wipe since the last time you used any kind of root, then safety check may be reacting to your unlocked bootloader, in which case getting magisk to work is probably your only chance on that phone.

How large does the system partition need to be for both Lineage 16.0 + OpenGapps pico? Mine is 3 GB and Lineage recovery can't install the pico gapps zip because it says there isn't enough space.
I've heard resizing the system partition is generally a bad idea. Wat do? (device is a Xiaomi Mi A1)

You could try and take it apart, clean off all the dust and clean the logic board with some 80% alcohol. Be careful and look up generic video tutorials if you are new to this.

You can set hotkeys for shortcuts in the properties window. I am not aware of a way to make ctrl-c for instance map to something else. It's not in windows.

>USB debugging
it is disabled,
>If you've done a complete wipe
I fastbooted twrp, did a full format of the device.twrp is not installed on the device
>getting magisk working
It has been working for 2 years? I think, but the developer no longer cares about the magisk hide functionality(as stated in a pinned ticket on github) and i have recently been locked out accounts facing permanent ban.
So having magisk working is out of my hands and lays soley on the dev

I have had magisk installed fine for the longest time but even using the magiskhide option, i've faced 2 temporary bans this past 2 weeks.
Magisk was updated as the updated were put out,directly getting it from the github release tab, both the magisk core and magisk manager
I just want lineage without root and passes safetynet

Teamviewer has audio support, my preference for remote desktop has always been a VNC solution (winvnc, ultravnc etc) but it doesn't seem to support sound

I am confused, I have a RTX Zotac 2060 and I am playing Kingdom Come Deliverance at ultra high settings on 1080p ultrawide and I am getting as low as fps at the stsrter village and averaging around 40. Literally just running around

I have an intel i7 3770
8fb of ram
Intel motherboard.

Should I return my card?

>the developer no longer cares about the magisk hide functionality
It's more that he's saying it may work, it may not, but he's not going to answer 9000 tickets going on about individual problems. It's a common reaction from devs in his position.

It's possible you might have better luck with Oreo, or returning to the stock ROM. But if you can't relock the bootloader or find a combination of tricks to make Magisk work, you might just be shit out of luck on that phone.

I will try cleaning it tomorrow, thanks

>Intel motherboard
No shit.

>Should I return my card?
Maybe. We are less than a month away from AMDs new offerings. I'd try DDU though, and get your drivers from the Zotac site if possible, otherwise Nvidia website. But remember you're on a higher resolution than 1080p, and your processor is on the old side, which hurts more in some games than others.

I was looking for something with less latency, I was using steam streaming for vidya, pls no bully.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to set up my own VPN server hosted through Google Cloud Platform. I don't need my hand held. I just need some documentation.

none because it doesn't make much difference because you won't be able to do much

>It's a common reaction from devs in his position.
Then do not promote it as one of your core features if you cannot even support major applications that have hundreds of millions of people using it at any given time?
I understand not supporting some random ass app with less then 100 commits, but well established apps on the play store front page with a billion downloads... Thats not asking too much.

I can lock the bootloder but its a verizon phone so its locked for good if i lock it
There was an exploit for the phone 2 years ago,which i used and havent locked since. I'd rather not have to lock it again as it seems the xda page for the phone is indecisive on if it works with the may or june security update or not.

but it does improve performance isn't it?

in theory yes

About to install Arch, from Ubuntu, on my laptop with a 256 GB SSD and 12 GB of RAM. Do I still need a swap partition?

Your entitlement is short sighted and counterproductive. There's very few people even attempting what he's doing, and even with anyones best effort, defeating safetynet is a losing game, as pointed out by chainfire. In a couple of years it's likely to not be a thing at all anymore. It's just too easy for google to implement code that can't be superseded effectively. If it works on some apps, great, but it's impressive one man has managed to make it this far.

If you're one of the people who can relock your phone, you're lucky. It seems like a pretty simple decision to make. Resign yourself to stock, or give up the offending apps on your phone.

Is there a quick easy way to check which email address I have is associated with google authenticator? Am I just being retarded?

I am signed into the google play store with my old school email and I am worried about it expiring and then me being fucked because I have so many important things set up on this app. However, when I go to the account page it says there is no 2FA and that my university didn't even allow us to use their emails to use 2fa

I have a pok3r and the last few weeks sometimes backspace wont work for the first 1 or 2 presses. If you keep pressing it it will work, and sometimes the issue doesnt happen for a few minutes but eventually when you press backspace nothing will happen and you will have to press it once or twice more. Any idea what i can do to fix this? I tried uninstalling the 3 'HID Keyboard Devices' that show up when the keyboard is plugged in, then unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in but that has had no impact. It also only seems to be backspace, i havent noticed the issue with other keys.

Safetynet is googles API for apps to determine if any system files have been modded, bootloader unlockded, root, etc. A lot of bank/payment apps and some games refuse to run if you've done anything to your phone.
