    Dislike to Linux

    I paid my mortgage with it (30+ years !) The BEST, security wise ! I once wrote a program, just for fun, to prevent a file from being opened by anyone, including me, the Security Officer, but a designated person ! The Security Officer (QSECOFR) is Administrator Windows equivalence.

    Why Kali

    In some other Forums they don't have kind words for Kali 'newbies'. By default 'newbie' is an unknown word in the Kali world. The other day I dabbed my foot into Qubes, then found out that my most 'advance' desktop ,equipped with a 4770K CPU, supports VT-x but not VT-d. That stopped me cold. A...

    Dislike to Linux

    Everything in life depends on prejudice, prejudice come from ignorance, ignorance come from laziness (the effort to try and understand the unknown). I don't blame people for that.

    Anybody using a Mac Pro 6.1 for Linux? (Trash Can Mac)

    Agreed. It's regrettable that some of my friends refused to believe me when I told them I could save their MACs (for free).

    My system is freezing

    I freeze the Nvidia driver, thinking what can it changed for a decade old MBP ? How wrong was I. The Mac was up and down a few days until today, after upgrading the driver.

    How Long Do HDDs,SSDs and Flash Drives Last.

    For those who still owned old but reliable HDD , don't discard them. Run browsers or better still, the whole OS in RAM can make the old clunkers very fast.

    How Long Do HDDs,SSDs and Flash Drives Last.

    Evo 840 - too old , I don't remember the price but it was at least double the price of the competitors'. I tried to use trim (using fstab) - don't know whether it worked or not - searching the net they talked about Magician. Well Magician is for Windows only. Recently some Linux installs refused...

    How Long Do HDDs,SSDs and Flash Drives Last.

    I know, I know... I own one, It cost me an arm and a leg, and it didn't last. Samsung hate (Linux) trim. I don't know about that now and I don't bother. That name is off my purchase list.

    I trust Hitachi & Toshiba HDD (inside my daily used 2010 MBP). The USB Hitachi has an external switch and used only for backups. They seem to be running forever. I lost one SSD and 3 USB drives during the course of time, ~20 years, mostly during the Windows time. I replaced all my desktops'...

    Desktop enviroments

    Count me in. Whatever make my life easy. I used to like K3b and kTorrent, but I have no need for them anymore - even in those days, I never used KDE, I'd rather install these packages only.

    recover data from hard drive sata using linux ubuntu

    My multboot 64G USB stick always contains the following: Parted Magic, Fossapup, Bionicpup plus the current distro I use (MX). That save my skin many times. Even a bizarre one like this: ... DLL not found on a Windows computer. Searched & downloaded the DLL, problem fixed. I don't know why a...
