I took a quick look at the specs and the T460 has 2 cores and uses DDR3 ram, so even though Linux is much lighter on resources than Windows, this laptop might not last you too long, considering how heavy even basic web browsing is these days. This computer will choke if you have a lot of tabs open, especially if you have things other than the browser open. I also noticed it has TPM, so just double check that you can replace the OS on this particular machine.
An alternative would be the T480, which would give you more mileage but can’t usually be had for under $100 like the T460.
Glhf!
That’s cool. Another point for the Rhino.
Come on, it’s a raspberry pi not an iphone. Those things are for tinkerers who live by “if it ain’t broke, fix it till it is”.
That worked really well! I got a 50gb partition with about 30gb free space into a 10gb zipped image. Is there any way to show progress during the operation like with dd’s status=progress?
Thanks, I’m gonna have to read that a few times ':D
Ok, thanks. That sounds pretty good.
If i want to compress it and save it as a backup can I do
cat /dev/sda3 | gzip -9 > drive.img.gz
?
How woild you do it?
That’s cool, I didn’t know you could use cp on partitions.
Wait why can’t I do it live? Thanks for the tips.
Lmao they are huge these days! But I’m talking about a 40gb partition, cloning it to a 64gb stick.
You can’t even buy 2gb sticks anymore :/
Ok awesome, thanks for the list, I was just asking user ricecakes about that.
Thanks, so just update the UUID in fstab for the stick? Or is there more?
Something similar happened to me once and installing tumblerd
fixed it.
But it was enough! Kids these days have access to gigs of HD video… not sure if that’s a good thing.
Ok, thanks.
I know where you’re coming from.
The best way to be happy is to be kind. Seriously, just try it and come to your own conclusion. It works way better than trying to extract satisfaction from life, which actually just creates more dissatisfaction.
What’s the reason? Honest question.
Aaahh capitalism. This is what business school graduates call “innovation” and “smart”.
But seriously, I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s predatory, abusive, and wrong.
