Let’s say I have a some form of storage media (HDD, SSD, USB, whatever.) But I only have one. Is it possible for this sole storage device to, without using any other form of storage device, erase (over-write with binary) itself when it’s the storage device whatever erasure program/code is running on? I think the rather banal problem would be that the program that is running the erase couldn’t keep running after it has partially erased itself. I suppose it could be possible with a pre-loaded erasure program in RAM, could it not?

When running a game (Dying Light 2, Cyberpunk 2077) error 0xc000007b pops up but not on all games on my PC such as The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt.

I created a video on my desktop and uploaded it to YouTube. Because I made the video less than 40 seconds long and purposefully used a vertical 1080 x 1920 aspect ratio, YouTube assumed I wanted it to be a YouTube short. That was great for me but a side effect is that YouTube refused to allow me to pick the thumbnail. YouTube automatically picked a "hideous" thumbnail for the video and I can't change it. When I try to change the video via YouTube Desktop, I see this error: "You can change the thumbnail on the YouTube mobile app" When I internet search the error, I am directed to various support pages by Google that hint I should use the YouTube Studio app for Android. When I use the YouTube Studio app for Androi

I have a Waveshare 4G modem (Waveshare SIM7600G-H-PCIE) connected to my Raspberry Pi that I can't figure out how to turn on. I can get it to make a little bit of noise but all other attempts end in an error. I have it connected to one of these: PCIe to M.2 4G/5G And USB 3.2 HAT for Raspberry Pi 5, Compatible with SIMCom/Quectel 4G/5G modules, Raspberry Pi 5 HAT, High-speed Networking My best guess is that I can't figure out how to even turn it on. How do I turn this Waveshare on or get it to make more noise. My end goal is a custom router. Here are my attempts with mmcli: CLI noise: pi5-dev:~ $ sudo mmcli -m 0

How do I disable the unwanted, and apparently energy-intensive, AI summary from Google Search. It's basically just noise to me. Ex: Search Switzerland treaties AI Overview Switzerland has a number of treaties, including: Double taxation agreements .... I've looked at Google Search Settings but see nothing to remove this.

Here is a video of the issue. The mouse cursor is invisible, not gone but invisible. I can't see my mouse cursor anymore. When I move the mouse around I can see it highlighting things and clicking still works as expected, so I know the mouse is connected and working fine but the actual cursor is just invisible. I tried: Changing the control panel mouse settings size. Enabling pointer trails. Changing the cursor style. Restarting my machine. Unpairing and pairing the mouse. Using my mouse on another machine (works fine). Using a different mouse (same issue). If I play a game (like Call of Duty) which has it's own custom cursor it works fine, I can see it there. When I alt+tab so the game is running in the background with a window in the foreground I can see the Windows cursor when I'm

There is a messy SD card that I want to wipe out all data and partition table. I have already tried it in windows with diskpart. And exception detail on event log : "Cannot zero sectors on disk \?\PhysicalDrive2. Error code: 5@0101000F" Also I have tried to write 00 to all sd card sectors. But card does not allow to writing from sector 16 to last sector. I have Linux environment and tried lots of tools like gparted, fdisk, etc and could not format the SD card. I would like to hear any alternative ways.

I'm using marlonrichert's zsh-autocomplete on top of oh-my-zsh my mac and I'm running into the following issue: Whenever I press the up arrow (↑), only the last command is loaded and up/down arrows don't do anything. I saw on the keybindings section, that the table has a main column that showcases some commands, besides the emacs and vicmd layouts. Only that column mentions actions about the up/down arrow keys, but I could not remap those at all. I tried adding bindkey commands for those keys at any point in my .zshrc file but with no effect bindkey '^[[A' up-line-or-search bindkey '^[[B' down-line-or-search For example, the above tries to bind the up arrow to an action that can be bound to any other combination of keys, but it's just the

I am trying to boot a virtual Linux system under qemu without hardware acceleration, i.e. in interpreted mode. The boot functions OK but performance is poor; I get a black screen for about 7 minutes. Here is a video of the boot https://youtu.be/Q_n39c8pUGw . Can anyone diagnose why the Xserver start takes so long, and offer suggestions for improvement ? The virtual Linux is a current Debian distribution.

If I have a certain folder with a number of .txt files, each contain a single curl cmd in a single line, I want to be just able to point to the folder then all of these commands are launched once, preferably in the ascending order of their file modification date and preferably the output of each command is saved in a file (just one file for all, with separation format in between). I tried a .bat solution as follows but a 8kb file (or command) doesn't run correctly, despite that I just opened the .txt file in which the command is and copied it directly into cmd, it works: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion :: Loop through all .txt files in the current folder (excluding this batch script itself) for %%f in (*.txt) do ( set "cmd=" :: Read the content of each file (e.g., 1.txt, 2.txt, etc.) for /f "delims=" %%a in (%%f) do ( set "cmd=!cmd! %%a" ) :: Execute
