articles for linux issues: you have to sift through forums still styled like it’s 2005 but someone will post 3 lines of terminal commands that will either fix your issue or brick your system

2005 was the peak of web design.

It really felt like the Internet belonged to the users. The difference was the freedom to make it yours.
In 2005 there were <1B users, today there are >5B. Most of those first billion were online because they WANTED to be online, they built personal websites, ran message boards and operated projects like Albinoblacksheep because they wanted to interact with other like minded nerds. Now most users are online because they have a phone, and phones are so limiting that all they can really do is scroll through feeds and ‘share’ links (try editing HTML on your phone some time).
I would now like Lemmy to support MySpace style profiles for it’s users
Don’t forget that at the end of the linux process you physically feel your brain growing new synapses, and from that moment on you want to cry when people struggle with the same issue because it’s so obvious
nothing gives me a feeling of power like fixing a problem on linux without having to immediately trawl through the arch wiki
I usually feel my brain loosing cells after a 6hr session of debugging a typo I made in a UUID.

The reason for this is because it pushes them higher on Google search.
Now the same page gets visited by people with that problem, people who want to know what a graphics driver is, people who are looking at the definition of computer, …
It is literally a job to find ways to get higher in search by writing those types of unnecessary long posts.
Me: Googling solutions as to why I can’t get RDR2 to start or GTA IV to not run like shit.
100 AI-written clickbait shit articles: lol have you tried SFC /scannow and fixing your clock.
I was under the impression that getting GTA IV to not run like shit is impossible
In case it’s helpful to someone, RDR2 wanted to access the save files in My Documents that OneDrive needed to be running to sync properly.
Got no idea on GTA IV though, dxvk and FusionFix have failed to help me so far.

How did that become such a popular recommendation?
Windows reps on the main support site replied with SFC /scannow to basically any topic they didn’t know how to fix.
It does actually occasionally really fix some shit though.
If you can’t open a Windows critical app like start or options or the task bar it’s usually the answer. On very rare occasion it can help with peripherals, but it should always be accompanied by system updates and dism

hey give them some credit they might occasionally throw in a dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth into the mix

LLMs probably amalgamating and spewing common elements of real articles for multiple titles.

a little while ago i got rid of a recurring unexpected_store_exception bsod by repairing system files, but i had to use Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth in powershell because sfc /scannow wasnt able to repair the corrupted files by itself
Pretty sure rebooting is more likely to help
sfc /scannow is to fix your Windows if it has corrupted files.
Rebooting doesn’t, but it will reload all the files in your memory from scratch again, making it less prone to problems.
But if the problems are that the files itself are corrupted, then rebooting will not help.

Only authentic with a [Solved] and the year in the title, super dumb description and always the same solving-suggestions:
Bluescreen DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL -2023[Solved]
Why do I get this?
This bluescreen does appear to be either caused by software (Drivers, installed apps, Windows) or Hardware, like your RAM or your CPU.How do I solve it?
Quick and easy solution:
Try this tool:
spam.shady.domain/infiltrator.exe?download_you_fucking_idiotOther solutions
You might want to:- reboot
- “Check if your drivers are up to date by running Windows update” (yeah… right… Windows Update and Drivers, shitheads…)
- sfc /scannow
- DISM
- Try the tool above
- About this tool we gave you… tried it yet?
Windows Update has been able to download drivers for several years now.
“able to”, eh? More like “failing at”
It mostly works ok, but sometimes it’s really stupid and overwrites more current drivers with older ones, because the current ones aren’t on Microsofts servers…
According to the Windows AMD GPU users, it’s a bit too effective at downloading them.
Disclaimer: I don’t run Windows much, so I have to go with what I see online.
Nah, they are usually hidden under optional updates though.
On the Microsoft Surface laptops, the entire driver update system is through Microsoft Update.
Search engines really need to step up their anti-spam game. These malware-pushing criminals do not belong in any reputable search index.
The amount of times I have seen these sites is crazy. Some of them link to CNET downloads or some other shady software site that’s been online for years.

Very helpful resource, thanks for sharing!
One of the most insightful things I’ve seen today.
Download this totally free tool
Free tool literally after you boot it:
You mean you actually downloaded it? Insanity
Desperate times man
I do wonder what I’ve downloaded in the past that I blindly followed instructions from out of frustration

AMA request: Someone who’s actually downloaded the helpful tool.
Who you calling a helpful tool?!
I’ve actually downloaded the helpful tool before! It’s been a while since though, so I dont really remember what I downloaded said helpful tool for (I think it was an app that allowed me to use my phone as a keyboard, since my laptops keyboard broke).
I dont do risky downloads like that anymore though, I was just young and desperate.
Trouble is what happens if everyone who goes there never comes back?
Data recovery is particularly rife with this trope.
Especially egregious since the answer is always just testdisk or photorec if it’s REALLY fucked, if that can’t do it then you pay someone with a god damn cleanroom.
One of my biggest pet peeves
