    I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.








  • I hate to be a widows advocate but they do keep improving the online version all the time so if you have not tried it in a long while maybe try again to see if some of the issues have been fixed. I feel like it gets better and better every time I (accidentally) open documents in the browser. It’s still crap in general but that’s more of a general word thing.


  • SolidWorks, fusion360, codesys (plc programming) and many other enterprise grade software sadly only really work on Windows. They do however work okay through a VM but annoying to deal with.

    Games now work surprisingly well on Linux so i have no problems there except Sims4 that my girlfriend plays seems to be windows only when bought through origin gamestore

    And dont suggest frecad for cad work. Sadly It’s seriously not even close to being competitive.


  • I used it a lot while developing a Linux program for a raspberry pi with a colleague and was blown away how fun and easy it was to use… Untill I started daily driving Linux and realised how much stuipd window wsl setup and work I could have skipped by just using Linux directly… Lol I was missing out. Now I just daily drive Linux and never looking back to wsl


  • I agree. Physical access to the device and its often game over.

    Sadly reading off the key is already trivial in some cases as showcased in this recent video by stacksmashing

    Since the key has to be sent to the cpu in plain text it can easily be sniffed. If however the TPM is integrated in the cpu its not so easy, but then the os can be manipulated or hacked after boot with known exploits.

    If you have a long and secure password for you encryption the absolute only way in is to brute force the key which is significantly harder if not impossible regardless of capital


  • What I do for a little extra security is that my encryption password is just a longer variation of my normal password. So of I have an encrypted password sentence like “correct battery staple horse” my login password would just be “correct battery”. It’s a simple way to add a little extra and a good reminder everytime I turn on my computer that they are in fact two different passwords and protect me differently.
