Looks like Relativity Space is doubling down on their manufacturing by opening a new site near Cape Canaveral. It's pretty wild to see how fast the private space race is scaling up lately. Do you guys think this extra production capacity will actually bring down the cost of launches significantly?
My power adapter stays plugged in basically every second I'm sitting at my laptop... because, let's be honest, the battery barely lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Heh. Thanks to both of you for the replies 😁 👍 👍
wearymason4 said:All those adapters share the exact same voltage (V), but what you really need to look for is one that provides at least 2.31A. From what I can see, those two options offer more than 3A at most. Of course they are compatible; current draw (A) is entirely dependent on the consumer—in this case, your laptop. It won't pull more than 2.31A, so having these two options actually provides a little bit of extra headroom if it's ever needed.
It is also worth noting that these power adapters aren't technically "chargers" in the literal sense, since the battery regulation logic lives inside the laptop itself.
So, does that mean having a lower amperage than my original charger is a bad idea, but a higher one wouldn't cause any harm? Provided it isn't an extreme difference, I mean? And could these 3.33/3.34A adapters potentially damage the laptop, or maybe stress the battery by draining it faster or something? Perhaps these questions seem trivial, but I am just a bit lost when it comes to all this... 😁😁.
Greetings, everyone. I have recently managed to create a bit of a predicament for myself by damaging my charger connector, and now I find myself in need of a replacement. I have located a few options online, but I am feeling somewhat uncertain as to whether they are actually compatible with my laptop—specifically an HP EliteBook 840 G2—given the specific power requirements... Could someone perhaps clarify if any of these will work? Furthermore, what exactly is the distinction between my current charger (shown in the first image) and these other options regarding wattage, output, and other technical specifications? My Current Charger: 19.5V / 2.31A 2 3 4 5
wiredotter14 said:It’s actually much simpler just using my Computer or This PC—you just right-click and format from there. You really only need to mess with Disk Management if you're dealing with multiple partitions and want to merge or split them up.
By the way, most TVs have supported NTFS for at least the last 10 or 15 years now.
The only real issue is that Macbook devices don't support NTFS natively; for those, you'll want to use exFAT, which works on Windows, MacOS, and Android, though I've found that it rarely plays nice with TVs and similar hardware.
And regarding this unit size field... should I just leave it at 4096 or go with the default allocation size?
wiredotter14 said:Yes. You can format an HDD as many times as you want using whatever format you prefer; it isn't a demanding or harmful process, and it essentially takes less than a minute.
It is a different matter entirely when you are trying to destroy data securely—you know, using a program that overwrites and erases multiple times specifically to prevent someone from recovering deleted files... but that isn't what we are discussing here.
But does it really matter whether I use Disk Management or just go into "my Computer," right-click, and select format? Because in Disk Management, when I try to format, the "allocation unit size" is set to default, whereas in "my Computer" it defaults to 4096. How am I even supposed to select those other settings? How do I leave the unit size as default? And should I be using Disk Management or "my Computer"? :/. CLICK The first two images are from "my Computer," while the last one is from Disk Management.
wearymason4 said:The only downside is losing access to data on older devices, such as certain TVs or similar hardware, that might not support NTFS. Otherwise, within Windows, you can actually do this via the Command Prompt as an Administrator without losing any data by using the command convert H: / fs:ntfs (just use your specific drive letter, since H: is merely an example).
Actually, no... I think I'd rather just move my data somewhere else and do it the standard way... properly 🙂.
I have some data on my external Western Digital drive—it’s a 1TB Samsung T7, actually—maybe around 65-70GB of files total. I've used it a few times now, but looking back at the very first time I set it up, I didn't even realize it was formatted as FAT32. My files were all moved over onto that format by a technician at a local repair shop, and now I really want to switch it over to NTFS. Wouldn't that be much easier? I want to be able to select large files, say 5-10GB at a time, and just let them transfer without any issues... otherwise, I feel like I'm constantly running back and forth to my laptop just to move things in tiny 4GB chunks. It's quite tedious, isn't it? So, I suppose what I am wondering is: would it be perfectly safe for the Western Digital drive to undergo a format from FAT32 to NTFS right now? Naturally, I would move all the data off the drive before doing anything.
Hey everyone, I find myself in a bit of a situation. I went to see an orthopedic specialist regarding a knee injury—it happened during some squats. I have this swelling, almost like a protrusion just above the knee when I bend it, near the VMO muscle. There’s significant pain during squats, and even a general, tender ache during everyday activities. I requested an MRI for the knee; I saw my primary care physician, and they scheduled it for early October. But then, just this morning, I noticed my orthopedist noted a diagnosis of S833 on my chart. I looked it up online, and apparently, it refers to a recent meniscus tear. So, is this his working theory? If that’s the case, why didn't he advise me to request an urgent MRI, or why didn't my primary doctor mark the referral as an emergency?... If that truly is what's going on (God forbid), who knows what kind of damage could be done over the next month or so... Do you think it's possible to appeal to my primary care physician and ask them to perhaps change the referral to an urgent one?
I don't want to clutter things up by starting a whole new thread, so I’m hoping it’s alright to ask here... Which specialist should I actually see if I want a thorough evaluation of my hips, knees, and feet? I need someone who can take a look and give me a real diagnosis regarding what's going on with those specific areas. For instance, just how flat are my feet, really? How much of an issue is that? And are my hips asymmetrical or rotated? I need someone who can look at all of that and suggest some kind of path forward based on the specific pains and issues I describe... That is basically what I am looking for... Do I need to book an appointment with an orthopedist for this, or is there someone else more suited for it?
Matthew Young35 said:Are you suggesting that text written in Notepad consumes a significant amount of memory? No. A single character takes up maybe one or two bytes—though it could be up to eight depending on the encoding, which determines how many characters require double the bytes.
That is exactly what I was wondering. Thank you, 🙂.
This might be a bit of a silly question, but does TextEdit take up any more memory once you actually start typing things into it? I mean, I have a massive collection of... let's just say "adult content" saved in there—just kidding, haha—but seriously, I have quite a few things saved, like various links and long blocks of text, and I was just wondering: does the file size or the RAM usage change significantly because of what's written inside? :/?
I was wondering about things like AliExpress or Uber if they were handling shipping. Does the delivery cost depend strictly on how much the package weighs, or does distance play a role too—like factoring in fuel costs? I have a bicycle that needs to go to a repair shop, and I'm expecting it back in two or three weeks. Naturally, I'll be covering the shipping both ways. I have two different locations I could send it to; one is 88 miles, and the other is 56 miles, which is quite a bit further away. Would they actually factor in the mileage or fuel surcharges, or is that just not how it works?
Brandon Harris20 said:Are the surveyors actually doing their jobs?
I see. So that really is what it is. I had my suspicions, I suppose, but I couldn't say for certain... I mean, I have never personally witnessed this specific type of marking or surveying procedure before. Is that even standard practice?
Could someone please explain what these markings actually signify and what their purpose is? Is this some kind of childish game, a way of marking territory, or perhaps something more cultish? ����?
Could someone please clarify this for me? I am looking at the FedEx website right now while trying to send out a package. When the weight is under 1kg and I plug all the details into the site to calculate the shipping, it shows 8.1 miles (6$). But then, when I select the option for cash on delivery and return shipping for the postage, good grief, it jumps up to almost 12 miles (10$). It just doesn't make sense to me. When I order something from someone else, why does the shipping always seem to cap out at 6.2 miles (10$) regardless of which online shop I use? If the sender (the person I bought the item from) chooses to have the return shipping or money sent back, shouldn't my delivery cost actually be higher?
I’m feeling better now—honestly, completely back to normal, as if nothing even happened. It was quite strange experiencing that vomiting sensation, wasn't it? I mean, sure, I did inhale some gas fumes, but where would the symptoms actually come from? I suppose I can't say for certain, since I am certainly no doctor, though I wasn't attempting to induce any vomiting myself.
I gave them a call, you know? And they just told me that I need to stay hydrated—drink more milk or water, I suppose—and if I haven't had any vomiting, then I should try to induce it manually using my fingers. Is that really all there is to it? It’s still another week until I can actually get in there. Honestly, even if I did go right now, would they even be able to provide a definitive diagnosis? One wonders.
I decided to clean out the bathroom by mixing hydrochloric acid and bleach together, and now I can't stop coughing like crazy and my breathing feels a bit heavy... is this actually serious, or will it just pass on its own?
