  • Try to sell it as art

  • Make a shitton of cash

  • Buy a new laptop and still have a shitton of cash

(maybe remove SSDs and HDDs before step 1 if those are still in tact and depending on what kind of information was stored on the device)

Genius just paint it

Anger management

It's bent out of shape; you need to install flatpak

[-] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 43 points 2 days ago

It came with snap and the user snapped.

Thanks that worked

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

I'd say that one got a little too much Ctrl+Z

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 36 points 2 days ago

Could not recreate issue.

Closing ticket.

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 31 points 2 days ago

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Now we just need reboot in safe mode and reset windows and we have the four horsemen of Microsoft support forums

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 18 points 2 days ago

Have you tried putting it in rice?

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

At this point you are putting rice in it not the other way around.

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 days ago

Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Google Colani design

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

put it in rice overnight

[-] Mordex@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

That new Tesla Cyber Laptop looks difficult to use.

[-] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 days ago

It's HP... No hope.

Oh, and it's a tad bent.

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

if it boots up, ram, storage, video adapter, cpu, and usb slot is intact then propably yes

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Disassemble entirely, hammer shell back into shape. If shell can't be salvaged, buy a mid tower and a CPU cooler. Desolder CPU, GPU, and RAM. Disconnect SSD and fans. Resolder chips back onto new motherboard. Replace display, keyboard, and touchpad. Put everything else back together.

Laptop fixed/laptop is now desktop.

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

it costs more than buying a new one at this point

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I know; I wasn't actually serious lol. You can't just slap a laptop motherboard into a case and call it a day. Not without some modifications. Also would have to figure out a GPU cooling solution. It's just not practical beyond making a silly joke.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 23 points 2 days ago

Install debian it runs on even the lowest resources

[-] odium@programming.dev 12 points 2 days ago

If Debian is too heavy, try puppy Linux for even lower resource usage and because puppies are cute.

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I've seen Linux fix worse cases.

Ever try mint?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Try some WD-40

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 2 days ago

Sell to art museum and buy a new one for the money

Cosmetic damage, no lowballers, $1000 firm, I know what I have!

Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?

You gotta download more ram. I'll fetch you a link... brb

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

you can actually connect to online ram, but it will be slow and potentionally unsecure if you don't secure it. This is how cloud gaming works

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not sure if serious but that is not how cloud gaming works. Cloud gaming offloads running the entire game to another machine, so CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, and network stuff. Then it just sends a stream with the video output and audio to your device while your device streams your input back to the remote machine.

Sorry if it was meant as a joke, but hard to tell because what you're saying is technically possible, though it would be beyond slow. Hopefully, even if it was a joke, the technical details are as interesting to others as they were to me when I wondered what it would look like if your RAM was stored on another PC on the internet.

CPU to RAM latency is generally around 0.05 - 0.1 us while network latency is likely going to be around 10,000 - 50,000 us, assuming it's not far geographically with good network conditions, maybe going as low as 5000 - 10,000 us (5 - 10 ms). And it doesn't just need to do that once per frame, but millions to billions of times per frame.

Cloud gaming can achieve whatever framerate your bandwidth can handle at the resolution and compression used (and I'm guessing generally isn't bandwidth limited if your connection can handle Netflix at decent quality). There's input latency because it takes 5 - 50ms for any inputs to get to the machine, but everything is computed locally.

Remote memory would generate frames so slowly that it would make more sense to measure them in seconds per frame than frames per second. And those seconds per frame might be better expressed in minutes or hours.

It might function ok for a page file. It would be on the order of HDD performance, though. Anyone who played games back in the day probably remembers how long it would take to alt tab or close a game before you could use the rest of your computer because the OS had to page most of other programs' memory back into RAM from disk.

i'm just tired and generalizing things too much. Don't need to take me as someone purposely spreading misinformation

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Have you tried ironing out the wrinkles?

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Iron, no steam.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

You’ll need a DeLorean and some plutonium.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Partial updating is not supported. Please reinstall Arch.

[-] kekmacska@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

on arch, it will display gibberish that somehow means that you need to reprogram the firmware externally, then shuts down permanently

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

I was issued an Elitebook for work. This is truly the best case scenario

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Patent that shape. Call it ergo 2 electric boogaloo, buy a non ergo 2 model
