Hi all,
As I've detailed here before, I've been on a slow ongoing quest to liquidate inventory from my PC building side-gig in my spare time (which has mostly failed because I'm an idiot who's bad at business). While I'm still actively servicing long-term business/professional clientele, I've stopped offering consumer-facing gaming builds.
The components are either overstock or consolidated parts from client builds. The laptops are from my dad's closed print shop business (he retired recently). Here is the latest batch of items for sale:

I’ve got a few hair and beard mods installed and went into creation kit to edit him to my liking, but after I save my changes and load the game he still looks like this. Any advice? The changes loaded once, and then I went back into CK to remove a moustache from Brand-Shei, and Bryn is back rocking the look of my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

I did this upgrade in two stages. The first was a complete swap of the existing 6 speakers. I went with Infinity Reference all-around based on recommendations online. I got the required speaker harnesses to use the existing factory connection rather than splicing wires. Here are the speakers installed:
Front Dash: Infinity Reference REF-3032CFX 3-1/2 2-way - $45/pair renewed on Amazon
Front and Rear Doors: Infinity Reference 9633IX - 6" x 9" Three-way - $100/pair on Amazon
A couple of notes about these speakers. They’re extremely bright even when you run them on the 0db mode rather than +3db. There is a switch on the tweeter to change the mode. I first installed the dash and ran it for a couple days waiting for the door speakers to arrive. Just the dash swap made the sound so much better. However, once I installed the front doors I knew instantly it was tweeter overkill. I’ll probably end up swapping the front doors for a 6x9 component driver and let the dash handle the highs. I’ll leave the 3-ways in the rear so passengers get the full range back there.
Second note is that while they sound great and you can hear them hitting some low notes, they’re not loud below the mid-range. Now that my highs were shining I needed to fill in the lows. I settled on a Skar Audio setup to keep my budget in check. I’m not looking to win car audio competitions, just fill out the low end. Here is what I ended up with:
Skar 2019-2022 Ram 1500 (5th Gen) Crew Cab Compatible Single 12" Ported Subwoofer Enclosure - $140
Skar Audio VD-12 D4 12" 800W Max Power Dual 4 Ohm Shallow Mount Car Subwoofer - $100
Skar Audio RP-800.1D Monoblock Class D MOSFET Amplifier 800W - $130
Skar Audio 4 Gauge CCA Complete Amplifier Installation Wiring Kit, SKAR4ANL-CCA - $30
So I’m $645 into this upgrade for a complete speaker overhaul and added 12” subwoofer. I think that’s pretty good for the incredible difference in sound. The box is a perfect fit under the passenger rear seat. My only gripe is the ugly white stitching of the Skar logo on the box. I used a black Sharpie to fill it in the best I could. It’s still visible if you look, but it doesn’t draw attention to itself anymore.
I’ll probably get the bug to add a 4 channel amp for the Infinitys, but it will be really easy since I installed the ANC bypass module under the driver’s seat. The module bypasses the truck’s active noise cancellation while also providing a tap point for the input and output of all of the speakers.
A few tips:

1. Get a LOC (Line Out Converter) that also generates a remote wire signal. I first bought the PAC LOC 3.2 and I would have had to tap into the fuse box for an accessory remote wire. I returned it for 7.2.
   
2. The firewall has a rubber grommet with an extra port for a wire. I had to cut the nipple off the port on the engine side and still had a hell of a time pulling 4 gauge wire through with a coat hanger. Running the power wire was the hardest part of the entire install.
   
3. The fuse box lid in the engine next to the battery is a great place to screw down the amp fuse. I also used split loom for the power wire in the engine bay and it looks clean and professional.
   
4. I used Posi-tap connectors for the speaker connections between the LOC and the ANC bypass harness. I got everything connected and didn’t hear any sound so double-checked these and sure enough, had to redo them. I may have used too large a size because the pin that punctures the wire kept going to the side of the wire. I had to manually puncture the wire with the pin before screwing the Posi-tap down.
   

Hope all of this helps somebody else. The system absolutely slams now!

Keywords

Name	Effect	Cards
Reusable	Reusable cards stay in your hand when played, but their energy cost cannot be changed.	9
Requires	Cannot be played unless you possess the specified resource, and expends that resource when played.	8
Recurring	Always shuffled back into the draw pile instead of being discarded, unless the draw pile contains only Recurring cards.	5
Mimic	When combat begins, this card takes the appearance and cost of a random card in your deck until played.	Grand Reveal

Notes:

• Reusable cards cannot have their cost altered in any way, including temporary effects.
  
• The Requires keyword expends the specified resource after the card is played.
  
• The term 'discard' described by the Recurring keyword refers to all forms of discard, including simply discarding your hand at the end of your turn. Recurring cards should essentially never be in your discard pile.
  
• Grand Reveal costs the same energy as whatever it mimics. However, if Grand Reveal mimics a Requires card, it does not require that resource to be played.
  

Buffs

Name	Effect	Cards	Relics
Intel	So long as you have any Intel, the highest max HP enemy is the Target. Half of your Intel is lost whenever the Target changes.	12	3
Target	Set this enemy's HP to 0 if Intel value reaches either 10, or 10% of this enemy's max HP, whichever is greater. If this enemy is killed by any means other than Intel, gain Gold equal to the Intel required to kill it.	4	1
Greed	Whenever a single-use Buff would be expended, lose 1 Greed instead.	7	1
Evasion	Your next card that grants Block grants X additional Block.	6	1
Bounty	Your next X attacks grant Gold equal to 33% of outgoing damage.	Bounty Hunt	0
Double	Your next X cards are played twice. Whenever you gain Double, gain equal Bust.	Double or Nothing	0
Bust	If you have no Double, your next X cards have no effect.	Double or Nothing	0
Monocle	The next X cards that you attempt to play without having enough energy are played for 0 energy. Can only affect 1 card per turn.	0	Monocle

Notes:

• Target is a buff applied to enemies, not the player. It is a buff so that it bypasses Artifact and cannot be removed.
  
• Single-use buffs that Greed can affect are: Artifact, Amplify, Bounty Hunt, Buffer, Burst, Curl Up, Double Tap, Double, Duplication, Evasion, Free Attack Power, Monocle, Pin Nib, Rebound, and Vigor.
  
• Bust is not a buff, it is a debuff, and thus it can be prevented by Artifact or removed via debuff-removing effects. It is included in the buffs table for convenience's sake.
  

Hello! My phone broke more than a week ago and I'm still not able to replace it. The thing is, I'm also really unhappy about having to buy a new phone. I have a budget of 100€, and I would like for it to work just fine, I don't need anything fancy or specific, I mostly use pretty normal apps (no gaming) . Fingerprint is a plus for me. The camera should be decent. My last phone was a samsung A40.
I have various options, and I'm not sure for which one to go. I wish for it to last a couple years, so I'm trying to look only from 2020 on. In my opinion, the first one in the list is the best. Please if you have any advice, I need to get it ASAP because I can't be without a phone much longer than this.

GENERAL NEWS UPDATES 🔈️

Ansible Project Mission Statement - have your say!

As part of our efforts to strengthen the community this year, it seemed right to make sure that the aims of the project - as a whole - are clearly communicated.
We've been around a while, and while automation is clearly central, we have a variety of statements like "a radically simple IT automation system", "Automation for everyone", or "open-source automation that is simple, flexible, and powerful". We called out "fragmentation" in the community strategy, and this is a great example of it in action - we're not being consistent in our message.
So, we thought it might be time to ask you all - What does Ansible mean to you?. Give us your thoughts! We'll use the data to inform the work on making this consistent, and we'll update you on the results later in the summer.

It looks like the netapp.azure collection is effectively unmaintained. According to the current community guidelines for collections, we consider removing it in a future version of the Ansible community package. Please see Unmaintained collection: netapp.azure for more information or to announce that you're interested in taking over the maintenance of (a fork of) netapp.azure.
At least one month after this announcement appears here and in the collection's issue tracker, the Ansible Community Steering Committee will vote on whether this collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed, or whether it will be kept. If it will be removed, this will happen earliest in Ansible 10. Please note that you can still manually install the collection with ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.azure even when it has been removed from Ansible.

mariolenz shared

The netapp.aws collection is considered unmaintained and will be removed from Ansible 10 if no one starts maintaining it again before Ansible 10. See the removal process for details on how this works.
Please note that you can still manually install the collection with ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.aws even when it has been removed from Ansible.

If the rumors turn out true about the iphone 16 pro max (or ultra whatever it's gonna be called) having a 6.9 inch screen, will Samsung bring back the 6.9 inch (note 20 ultra size/s20 ultra) size display?
Knowing they always one up iphones on everything I think it's possible, especially with the size stagnating from s21-s23.
Also I'm not arguing if it's better or worse to have a bigger screen

Just as the title says I'm seriously considering buying a one plus 9 mainly because of its chipset and price. I was also considering get a Samsung Galaxy S21+ but I can only get one of those used in my price range and not brand new like a One Plus 9. I have had a One Plus 8 for the past two years with no problems at all. However, when browsing this subreddit I only see horror stories about the One Plus 9. I kinda believe that the last good one plus phone must have been the OP8. Would any one else agree with that?
Anyway, would any recommend buying a brand new OP9 in 2023?

I will start with things that I am still fixing to get working:

• Jupyter Notebooks dont work, most likely due to there being no systemd.
• Scaling of the UI, it is still quite small (menubar and browser).
• S-pen support.

Currently, I am running a Samsung Galaxy Tab s8+ with Dex that I am slowly trying to make my daily driver for all my tasks, note-taking, slide annotations and coding on the go. This has been quite the journey, full of debugging, but it is an amazing feeling to run small Neural Networks in PyTorch on such a versatile device. I will try to maintain this post with any improvements and updates that I can do. And special thanks to u/parkerlreed for helping debugging termux-x11 spen support (still not working).
This tutorial works for the following os and might not work for everyone: Samsung OneUI 5.1 + Android 13.
Download the following versions of termux and termux-x11:

• https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.118.0
  • Download your respective os version (in my case arm64)
• https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/actions/runs/5108462890
  • Download the companion packages and your respective os's debug (in my case it was arm64)

Primary setup

1. Follow this tutorial to disable the Phantom Process Killer, otherwise Termux will keep automatically closing.
2. Install Termux and run the following lines of code:

​

pkg update pkg upgrade pkg install nano proot-distro x11-repo termux-setup-storage 

Termux-x11

1. Edit the following file and uncomment allow-external

​

nano .termux/termux.properties 

1. Unzip the companion packages and run the following:
   pkg install ./storage/downloads/termux-x11-[VERSION]-all.deb
   
2. Setup a start and stop file to run the display:
   touch ./xstart.sh touch ./xstop.sh
   

Then add the following to the xstart.sh:

#!/bin/bash export DISPLAY=:0 termux-x11 :0 & proot-distro login ubuntu --user [USER] --shared-tmp 

And the following to xstop.sh:

#!/bin/bash kill termux-x11 

Now install the termux.apk app. You can open it. When using long press on the app set the input style to trackpad (makes it easier to navigate the small icons.
Proot-distro
First install ubuntu and login:

proot-distro install ubuntu proot-distro login ubuntu 

Now you will be running as root but before creating a user lets update:

apt update apt upgrade apt install nano sudo wget git 

Create the user:

passwd groupadd storage groupadd wheel groupadd video useradd -m -g users -G wheel,audio,video,storage -s /bin/bash [USER] passwd [USER] visudo 

Then add the following line after root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

[USER] root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL 

Then save and exit the distro
Start the distro, or run the xstart.sh file:

proot-distro login ubuntu --user [USER] --shared-tmp 

Install a window manager and a xorg:

sudo apt install xorg openbox 

Install Chromium (or another browser, but you will need one for later):

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/masteUninstall/ubchromiumfix.sh && bash ubchromiumfix.sh 

Now edit the .bashrc and add the following lines:

export DISPLAY=:0 openbox-session & export BROWSER='/usbin/chromium --no-sandbox' 

You could go ahead and edit the following settings of openbox in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml, at any point you see a font size set it to something like 24, this will make your window manager at least somewhat useable.
Install Code + Miniconda
First lets download miniconda from here, just get the latest aarch64 build.
Then run the following from your proot distro:

sudo sh /sdcard/Downloads/Miniconda-[VERSION].sh 

Then keep pressing enter until the EULA is finished, type yes, pres enter once. THEN DONT PRESS ANYTHING. And write 'yes' when prompted. Then reload your bash:

source ~/.bashrc 

And Conda is installed!
Now when you're in the terminal make Main your git's default branch since it is the new standard:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main 

Now VSCode, download it from here (again arm64) and install it with:

sudo dpkg -i /sdcard/Downloads/code-[VERSION].deb 

It will most likely not work instantly lets fix that:

sudo apt --fix-broken install 

And try the dpkg command again.
Then to make life easy create the following sh file:

touch code.sh nano code.sh 

With contents:

#!/bin/bash code --no-sandbox & 

And that is it, to run VSCode from the start use the following:

1. Open Termux and Termux-x11
   
2. Run the following command
   sh ./xstart.sh
   
3. When you are in proot run:
   sh ./code.sh
   

And that is it, to leave just type exit in proot and sh ./xstop.sh in termux.
Syncing your Github account with VS Code will work since you already have a browser installed, with some patience and using the Local open when signing in it will all work out.
If there are any edits recommendations or fixes that I should know of or add to this tutorial please let me know and I will update this post.

1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.

Right now I mainly play single playecoop/VR games. CSGO, Dota 2, new starship troopers, Total War: Warhammer 3 and mainly beat saber for VR on valve index. I will be buying the next high end Valve VR headset when it comes out. Looking for something that can run 1440p at 165 hz for a few years, and be quiet.

2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?

Price isn't a huge issue, ~3-4k but I can allocate more budget for quality of life upgrades.

3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

Looking to buy within 2 months or later this year if there is something worth waiting for. Ideally looking to see what is a good build right now and keep an eye on sales.

4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: toweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

ToweOS, I MIGHT want to buy a 4k 144+hz monitor but might be a few years away

5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.

Using old monitors/mouse/keyboard. Dell S2721DGF is main gaming monitor (1440p, 165hz), have an HP 27' conference monitor from work (75 hz) all less then a year old. 3rd monitor is an old Asus ProArt (6+ years). Might reuse my Samsung Evo 860 1tb as secondary storage. (~2 years)

6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?

Will overlock CPU, however might be down the line if I don't need to do it now

7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

Bluetooth, SSD, VR

8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-towefull-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

Want a quieter case that has good cooling, mid/full tower, usually prefer black, side panel window and LEDs are nice to have but not a big deal.

9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free.

Yes

10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?

Might upgrade GPU and storage in the future

11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc)

Prefer AMD if possible, but looking for the better parts right now

12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.

Not really looking to reuse anything except the Evo 860

13. Extra info or particulars:

Want to do air cooling as I don't really want to risk liquid damaging parts. I have really liked Noctua cooling in the past and will likely want to stay with them.
Need a graphics card that can handle 3 monitors +VR. I would also like to put my LG 55 Inch TV as well, but I don't think any gaming cards have 5 ports so not a huge deal for the TV.

I used Samsung Switch to move from a Note 9 to the S323 Ultra. Everything is set up exactly how I like it with the exception of app-based notification sounds. Everything (and I do mean everything) using the same default notification sound. My Ring Video doorbell no longer uses the wind chimes when it recognizes motion, Ebay notifications sound the same as text message notifications, etc. These are just two examples. How do I get back to app-specific notification sounds?

First Previous Wiki
Huatil had heard the recommendation from her superiors, which wasn't a recommendation at all. With the information she'd been given, the situation was serious, and would tick over to catastrophic in a few tens of days or so. So here she was, having made the call to perhaps a serious threat in the future.
"We need you now," Huatil said, looking at Phoebe with her best honest expression.
"Why?"
"Our main communication networks are being hacked by something. It's intelligent, and dangerous. We've initiated quarantine procedures, but the virus is already sending its own communications through back channels, continuing to jump from world to world."
"And you want me to get rid of that problem for you."
"Alright. It will have a price. Not just materials this time. The current proposal is that I will help you if you agree to allow a cultural exchange if asked, along with full technological exchanges. The only thing you can hold back is currently classified technologies. If you violate the spirit of this deal by trying to 'classify' everything of value your species has, I will not be happy, and neither will my colleagues in the Alliance. I am aware that you have been keeping us away from the good stuff. In particular, if you want us to trust you, you will give us the solution to the mind control problem we are having."
"You are making quite the assumption," Huatil replied. Phoebe just smiled, tapping her head. "I've done a lot of thinking. First, I assume that you are in conflict with Aphid, perhaps also a certain force of mind-controlling individuals. They may or may not be Sprilnav. I know this due to my own clandestine intelligence gathering efforts."
"Hacking us, then?" Huatil resisted making a comment on such behavior being untrustworthy, considering what she'd been up to recently. She was about to wade into a shadow war with mind-controlling individuals, and Phoebe was not needed to intervene. Yes, a human force was needed, but Phoebe was too... risky. Human supersoldiers would be useful, both for assessing their capabilities and also for being less able to fool sensors and the like meant to monitor them.
"No. Not hacking. If I was hacking you, I would have everything I need already. But I am watching. Know that I engage in diplomacy because you do the same. I am willing to help you. And do not forget that you admitted to the whole Alliance that you were and are spying on us. That has a certain negative effect on the minds of certain intelligence agencies, as well as the higher-ups in the Alliance's general leadership. Your words have consequences."
"I see," Huatil replied. "Very well. I shall see what can be done."
"Having the ear of the Nest Overlord is enough?"
"In some ways."
Phoebe smiled. "So you have your own power." She tilted her head, like she was scanning Huatil. She wouldn't get anything useful, though. The connection didn't have the capability to reveal anything.
"Your childhood information has been faked. Granted, the fake is very convincing. You even took real videos of that family. But I can tell from their heartbeats and feather movements that the situation is not genuine."
"Heartbeats? In a video?" Huatil asked. How was that even... actually, it made sense. Video quality was really good, so seeing small details like that was possible.
"I am an AI. That means some of the most sophisticated simulation and modeling technology in the galaxy is at my disposal, as well as lie detection on a level undreamt of by any power that yet exists, should I see reason to activate it."
"Why not have it active at all times?"
"Power usage. Speculative simulation and reconstruction, especially when accounting for psychic energy variances, is annoyingly power intensive. However, you are worth the investigation. That said, you are not who you say you are. You have the resources to fake a past very convincingly. Therefore, you are working for a powerful faction within the Hive Union. Of course, it is not public who you are, so likely either defense or intelligence oriented. Hmm. No reaction? How interesting. Is that a cybernetic neural network engraved on your muscles and organs? Jesus, you really are the real deal. What are you?"
Huatil was at a loss for words. To be found out so convincingly, so thoroughly, and yet not suspected to be part of the Blue Intelligence Agency was a true surprise. Maybe Phoebe just didn't know about it at all yet.
"So this is why you wished to talk with me. You wanted to dig up my secrets."
"Hardly. The hivemind could do this, too. But you asked for Phoebe, not the hivemind. So here I am. That said, what are you?"
"A concerned party, let's say," Huatil replied, reassembling her facade. Her feathers first, then her face, then her heartbeat and muscles. Complete, total control. Phoebe was smirking when she opened her eyes again.
"Interesting. I will not dig into what you are, in exchange for information about the threat you are attempting to neutralize."
"Threat?"
"You are carrying a model of weapon that is not ceremonial in nature. A Model 14 Brutalizer, if I am not mistaken. That's a handheld weapon able to pierce tanks, with ammunition that is light and numerous. You are walking with enough firepower to level a tenth of a city on you. Furthermore, I can see the reflection of stealth equipment lying on the floor in front of you."
Huatil looked behind her at the black metal wall. There were no mirrors present. The only slightly reflective thing in the room was the screen, which couldn't do that when it was on and active. Phoebe's eyes didn't move, but Hautil could tell that the intelligence before her was more alive than ever. And more artificial than she had remembered.
"What?"
"Yeah, that wall is almost black. But it isn't really," Phoebe replied. "I am more than what I once was."
"This is... worrying."
"It should not be. We are allies, yes?" Phoebe asked, smiling a little too widely.
"Yes."
"Let me help you."
"I will ask Humanity to help, not you."
"I am not a threat to you or your species, nor am I one to your Union."
"I cannot trust words alone," Huatil replied.
"No. You cannot. But my androids are even more effective marksmen than whatever your cybernetic augments would let you do. Your reaction time may be low. But it is not faster than my androids' programming."
"Plotting that many angles would likely be extreme."
"Basic trigonometry and geometry, with perhaps a little lessons on elastic and inelastic collisions in physics are all that is needed for me to do that. In a whirling hurricane, in a storm with no gravity applied, with the right bullet, I could hit a target from the opposite edge."
Huatil sighed. Phoebe really wanted this job. And she was capable of it, too. Overqualified, in fact. The single weakness she had was the lack of ability to maintain quantum connections if a suppression signal was active. Plus jamming.
"Even assuming that is true, my superiors would not allow me to tell you anything."
"Sure. Assuming you have superiors, who would they be? Kawtyahtnakal is your mate. And I doubt Regulator Eyahtni would have let that happen if she was your boss. So you serve another party, one powerful enough to pull these strings. If you are not at the top, you are near it. And I would happily talk to your superiors, perhaps to congratulate them on your very well-trained 'untrained' stance." "Secrets will remain secrets, Phoebe. I have come to ask for you help with the virus. Will I have it?" "Yes, with a single amendment to our agreement."
"That was not the deal."
"It was not."
"So why should I let this alteration stand?"
"Because judging from the fact that you are well trained and haven't ended this conversation, where you have seen me gather more intelligence on who and what you are and coming increasingly close to whatever hidden truth you have locked away. You obviously judge me as a threat but do not treat me as one in the hopes of maintaining a cordial dialogue.
Furthermore, you seek to distance me from whatever foe you are fighting, likely because the human soldiers would seem more likely to allow you to assess the fighting capabilities of Humanity's strongest champions. And beyond that, the amendment remains unspecified, yet you have already been making small motions showing you accept it with the words you chose to talk with me."
Huatil kept herself from thinking anymore. Too much pondering might also reveal some new scrap of information to Phoebe. Her whole personal file was clearly wrong. This level of piercing interrogation was never expected. Had she been like this all along, or was this new? And if so, would she remain like this in the future, gradually peeling away the secrets of the Sennes Hive Union one by one?
"Again, that is quite a lot of inferences. Some of it may be wrong."
"Some is right, then. So I am either getting closer, am a threat, or you need me very desperately. The latter is true, and the only thing that matters. So you will contact your superiors, get me access to them, and we shall share information in a permanent dialogue. You will not shut down the line later. We will hammer out a more sufficient agreement, so that we can actually get things done as unified national entities, instead of hatchlings trying to make their first flight."
"Using our analogies does not make your request more agreeable, you know," Huatil warned. "It does not need to. You have already agreed."
"You wanted to alter the deal."
"I am altering it, Truth Speaker Huatil. I wish to know what you are, and who you are. And we shall have an important talk with your superiors. You need me, which is why you are asking me this at all. And I shall help you with the virus, but it will require opening the locks on your networks." "You could just break them."
"Then I would be detected, and any anti-Phoebe factions within your species would have easy fodder to attack me with."
"And you could hack the news system, as well."
"Your air-gapped networks? Not easily. Especially with the sealing procedure. I am also fighting a war with Aphid as we speak. I'm already battling him across the Alliance's networks, building digital fortresses to survive onslaughts of viruses and contaminants trying to breach the firewalls." "And what is Edu'frec doing?"
"Other things," Phoebe smirked. "Secrets will remain secrets, Truth Speaker."
"Very funny."
"I think so. Now, will we finally pull out the pinfeathers and get to business?"
"Perhaps. Lay out your terms in full," Huatil replied.
"Full information on the individual known as Huatil, contact with her current employer at the time of the signing of this agreement, a cultural exchange agreement if the Alliance agrees to such, full technological exchange if the Alliance agrees to such. The details of a technological exchange include and are not limited to civilian products without a direct copyright, manufacturing techniques, alloy compositions, types, and forging techniques, energy production, manipulation, and removal technologies, non-classified military technologies, supercomputer construction techniques, all known elements in your periodic table, not just the public ones, and multi-planetary economic markets. Full information on combating mind control. In exchange, the individual known as the AI Phoebe will excise the virus in your networks. Humanity will send its supersoldiers to aid in your current unspecified predicament for the length of one month, as defined by the human Gregorian calendar, as it is set up for the planet of Earth."
"Your condition on classified technologies will need to change, as well as that on civilian products," Huatil replied. "Retroactive classifications make sense, but the Hive Union may produce technologies in the future that require secrecy. Not to mention some of the higher classification levels, such as above 5, will not be touched. I am not saying that as some sort of point to negotiate. You just will not get anything above that. Not if you hack us, not if you beat the right people within a claw of their life.
And were we to sign away the civilian product manufacturing techniques, it would significantly anger the corporate factions in the Union. The same is true for the other manufacturing agreement. You will have to agree not to sell such materials to us and use them only for your own ends. That would include selling the products of such designs or deconstructed versions. Even then, this agreement will not be quick."
"Then speed it up."
"Cawlarians are dying because of this virus. Monorail trains have derailed. Aerial vehicles have crashed."
"Yes."
"So something must be done now, then," Huatil replied.
"I will see what I can do to slow the spread. But the deal must be passed."
"How much of this was drafted by the Alliance prior to our conversation?"
"Every provision that remains. Well, we'd be happy to get more, but the deal won't budge too much more away from this. I know it's not good proactice to reveal the cards in a negotiation. But telling you what we hope to gain will lessen the time this takes and hopefully allow us to finally establish proper ties. We already have a defensive link, but it is weak. And we have trusted you to move us closer over time, but you have not. Thus, we are acting to force that."
"So you are holding our crisis as a gun to our heads," Huatil surmised.
"No," Phoebe replied. "I will help you with your issue. But unless you wish to send your own people into whatever mission you wish for, then the agreement will need to be signed. Only then will the super soldiers deploy. We are not trying to kill your people. We are trying to get a deal which has slipped from our fingers for far too long. And you might be forgetting that it may benefit you, too. Humanity's hivemind is more intelligent than any model VI or single group of smart scientists you have."
"If it comes out that the Alliance manufactured these circumstances-"
"You presume too much. We would not do this to you. If we wanted to control your Union, the first step would be... no, I won't tell you. However, Truth Speaker, know that we do not wish for hostilities. Were we to successfully subjugate your Union, the Sprilnav would burn us both down for breaching the system limits."
"That is not a very reassuring promise."
"We do not want to die. That is pretty binding, I would think. Just like those alterations under your feathers, I'd say," Phoebe grinned. Huatil sighed.
"The agreement will be subject to changes after our diplomats get ahold of it."
"Kawtyahtnakal and Eyahtni could always enact the 24th Tenet, bypassing resistance from all underlying foes, if they are not currently being impeached."
"The 24th is an extreme circumstance. Even if Kawtyahtnakal were willing to enact it, that does not mean that your Alliance will be quick to accept any changes."
"Actually, we would. A few years ago, most of our leaders assumed you would be moving closer to us at some point. Thus, we prepared various diplomatic plans, potential proposals, and goals that we were willing to cede, those we were not, and other such things. The wanderers are not currently party to the calculus as they have no unified species leader, and Blistanna has already agreed to and pored over the plans.
In fact, that prompted an expansion and update to them."
"And is our current situation following such a plan?"
Phoebe shrugged. "You won't find any records unless you have a secret ability to teleport things too. Nothing online exists. And the Alliance has so many planets to search... and so many stations. No matter. I'm happy to tell you that we are currently straddling the path between Cawlarian Foreign Policy Plan Blue and Plan Yellow. Of course, there are other CFPPs."
Huatil took note of those for later.
"Your questions on their contents will not be answered by the few that are privy to their existence. Good luck with your attempts, Truth Speaker. Now that I have presented the path forward, are you ready to do some heavy politics and diplomacy?"
"I will present the agreement to the relevant parties, and you may do the same. Know that I also have some bargaining power, Phoebe. One day, you may be on the other side of this equation." "Well, the deal for us is sweeter. Your fastest ships would still likely take weeks to reach us, while our fastest ships are Brey's portals, with a travel time of zero seconds. Well, not quite, but you get the idea."
"Instant deployment," Huatil replied.
"A reminder of the possible future benefits of a long-term and stronger diplomatic relationship between our two peoples."
"Would you be willing to let us have Brey's aid in a coming unspecified event?"
"If the event were specified, she agreed, and the agreement was signed, then perhaps we may discuss. Until then, we shall wait. I will help curb the damage from the virus. But removing it and starting your operation with human super soldiers will require an official agreement, signed by at least Regulator Eyahtni and Nest Overlord Kawtyahtnakal."
"I hate bureaucracy."
"You're married to a politician," Phoebe pointed out unhelpfully.
"Yes. But no. Not married. An equivalent and ancient ritual, which appeased certain elements of the Cawlarian population that were concerned with my prospects." "I'm sure you have some. No offense, but-"
"Please don't."
"You seem more of the stabby and shooty type to me."
"Not really offensive," Huatil said, picking at the feathers near her mouth.
"For all I know, you're a pacifist. Alien cultures are strange."
"Not that strange. The word means the same. Pacifists do not exist at the top of Cawlarian government, and certainly do not make the decisions. War is horrible and a great blight upon civilized society, but it is as inevitable as the stars growing cold in the darkness of the far future." Phoebe nodded. "In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium... nevermind."
"What?"
"A reference to an even worse hypothetical universe than we live in."
"I don't understand," Huatil said.
"It's a 300 year old experimental and expansive science fiction universe, with enough attached lore and literature that it would take over 100 years to read it all."
"That sounds like a lie."
Phoebe laughed. "I assure you, it is not. Thousands of books, hundreds of movies, dozens of shows, and countless random internet articles remain as a testament to it. It became quite popular in the mid-2050s when society was starting to crumble too visibly for even the remaining political resistance to refute."
"Sounds interesting."
"Assuming you have immortality, then you might have the time for it. Though I'm not sure if even I'd be able to buy all the models."
"Aren't you the richest person in the Alliance?"
"Eighth richest, behind a few trillionaires. Third richest 'human,' though."
"Ah," Huatil replied. That was concerning. Inflation, over-expensive separate items or books, or a simple joke? She didn't know. And while establishing rapport with Phoebe could be considered valuable, and she was growing an interest in what Phoebe spoke of, she had certain things to attend to. She assumed the quote was well known enough for human networks to have the answer to it by a search. "Perhaps one day, such a cultural exchange might help me understand the motivations of those who wrote such a thing."
"You don't want to understand. But that does remind me of something," Phoebe said.
"What is that?"
"Make sure you take care of whatever mind-controlled cults you can find before they get too big." Huatil nodded. It was nice seeing her, even though Phoebe was now an exceedingly dangerous individual. Far more so than suspected. Luckily, the preparations for the attack on the local hive of suspected mind-control activity in the Forsaken City were underway. Agents were coming in, gathering information for the Blue Intelligence Agency about various locations of interest, possible choke points, routes to a command center, and so on.
"I have something else to tell you as well. There is a proposal in place, not yet ratified or voted on in any way, to form a treaty organization with your Alliance and the Vinarii Empire. Defensive, of course."
"I see. I shall also relay this news to the proper authorities. Though it is likely nothing will come of it, with so many species in the Alliance."
Her next assignment wouldn't be for another few thousand flaps. Using a specialized device, she linked into the specialized ansible data hub that processed and translated connections between the Cawlarian and Alliance networks. It was a new construction, far more stable than the last attempt. Notably, it was protected by cybersecurity programs so strong that no one even knew how to begin hacking them. It was likely due to Phoebe or Edu'frec's special work.
She looked up the quote and decided to do some light reading.
"Agent 001, it's time."
"What?"
"It's time. 3000 flaps have passed."
It just went deeper and deeper. Phoebe really had been telling the truth with her warnings.
"Right."
Agent 017 smiled at her. "You know, browsing human networks isn't mission-critical."
"Yes. I do. If you must write a report, do not mention what I was reading."
"Ah, so you have noticed their... penchant for drawing aliens?"
Huatil's feathers flared. "No. It's worse."
"Worse? Now I have to know."
"41st millennium."
Agent 017's wide-eyed look told her everything.
"No..." she breathed.
"Yes."
"If this gets out..."
"It's going to hit military culture like... I don't even know an analogy for the destruction this will cause."
"So you know, then," Huatil deadpanned. When she'd first had a presentation on alien cultural contamination and assimilation, she hadn't expected something like this. It was so utterly over the top, yet fascinating and entrancing. It was like watching a pile-up in that marathon flying race that had opened last year with 'no limit' on how many people could join. And then 2 million Cawlarians decided they wanted to take the day off and go flying.
The owner of that racing company had been sued into the ground under a class-action injury lawsuit, with 3 million claimants receiving yields. And he was serving nearly ten thousand standard years of jail time. Not that he'd live to even get a bit of that unless the Cawlarians got immortality treatments that were cheap en-masse in the next hundred years.
The pile-up had been a spectacle unlike anything known, though. Just like this random piece of human science fiction writing appeared it would be.
"I do. A little too much."
"How'd you find out?"
"An important government official retreated into their room for 6 days straight, refusing to answer any calls or attend any votes, consuming a copious amount of drugs, food, and water."
"How important?"
"Star system level."
"By Crawprawvabar's feathers, we're going to have to suppress this," Huatil replied.
"How?"
"Not my job."
"I pity the poor soul who has to try. I get the feeling it may not remain shackled for long."

"I am pleased to tell you that profits over the last five mega pulses are up 3%."
"Good," Zelisloa replied. "How well is the new model selling?"
"Its debut was much wider than the previous version, so faster. 3.5 times faster on average, with a rising number of local Sprilnav sharing their satisfaction online."
"Glad to hear it. I would like a word with the Grand Financial Manager."
"Under your eye, Elder Zelisloa," they chorused.
The rest of the Sprilnav left the meeting without complaint. Once the last of their faces disappeared, Zelisloa turned to him.
"So? Have the funds been siphoned?"
"They have."
"Good. You shall receive a portion of the allocated amount. 12%, as agreed."
"I thank you for your generosity, Elder Zelisloa."
"I thank you, Spentha 28. You're better than the original."
"He's an Elder, and I'm not."
"Yes. But that doesn't mean you are worse."
"Yes it does, by every metric that matters, power included."
"If it is power you want, the equivalent of one of the weakest Elders I know of, then I shall grant them. However, that will require some additional loyalty."
"I am yours," he said.
"Good. I will send you your instructions soon. For now, I will retire to my chambers, for a well-needed rest after doing no work."
Spentha 28 laughed. "That's what you pay me for, after all. Though at this point, there's nothing I won't do for you."
"I can think of a few things, but I will not waste my time testing you with random unpleasant and unlikely conundrums. You did good work."
"Under your eye, I shall do much more."
"Under my eye."
He returned the greeting he'd set up. Simple and to the point. He then focused on his latest project. The ships were on their way to the Alliance, receiving real-time communications from his biologists. They had fully studied human, Acuarfar, Breyyanik, Knowers, and Guulin anatomy. The gene banks of the Dreedeen, wanderers, and Junyli were known and also studied, but evolutionary drift still occurred, even under the harsh genetic locks the Sprilnav had placed on their genomes to curb it. The viruses were incubated and ready to spread by touch, proximity, water, blood, and even wildlife. Acuarfar immune systems were certainly an interesting task to subvert, according to some of his people.
Skira had been too risky. If that hivemind of mindless drones was able to discover the infection before it became deadly, that could mean it might be discovered too early and stopped. Zelisloa didn't want that.
He'd checked their initial aims. He'd asked for them to make it as lethal as possible at first, and they'd made viruses that were basically guaranteed to kill everyone they came into contact with. From there, he'd asked to lengthen the asymptomatic timeframe and the ability to evenly spread the viruses across species. That required them to manufacture the viruses for other species using the cells of the initial virus for the specialized host. That process required more mega pulses of time.
Finally, the means to spread it through wildlife was achieved. So now, all that the ships had to do was reach their targets, and the fun would begin. There would be a new pandemic in the Alliance, one that they wouldn't recover from.

I am trying to install Lineage onto a refurbished Samsung Note 9 (like new)
I started custom install (download from PC) yesterday at 3 pm then left the house; came back 12 hours later and it still was in download mode, told myself that it couldn't be that long.
Sideload install gives signature verification errors and aborts.
Also, I am using a very old laptop (xubuntu SO)
Could someone please guide me through the steps to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance 🙂

I'm moving to Spain from the USA in September to teach indefinitely and have decided not to go through the hassle of transporting my outdated pc with me. I also have an iPad Pro that I use solely for digital art that I desperately want to sell because it's basically an expensive sketchbook. So, I've decided to pursue a 2-in-1 laptop that I can draw with so I can sell both my pc and iPad.
However, I can't decide between getting the 15.6" Book2 Pro 360 and the 16" Book3 Pro 360. My expenses for my visa, airfare, apartment fees, replacing my broken s20+ with an s23 ultra, and first month's costs are going to be about $4000+, so I'm stuck between spending the extra money on the new one and just getting the 2.
I'D BE USING IT FOR: -- occasional 4k video editing because I'll be vlogging my experiences. I'll be using Kdenlive instead of something RAM intensive like Adobe.
-- internet browsing and multitasking (maybe up to 10 tabs at a time at most) and blog post writing since I run a small blog.
-- digital artwork through clip studio paint.
-- minor lightroom photo editing.
-- note-taking.
-- slideshow presentations and small Zoom meetings to provide private tutoring sessions.
-- using my galaxy tab s7+ as a second monitor.
Samsung (and tech in general) is more expensive in Europe so I need to get one before I leave in September. I prefer the size of the 2 versus the size of the 3. However, the 3 is slightly more powerful, better resolution, and is less flexible/flimsy than the 2. I am also needing something to last me a long time, especially since replacing it will be much more expensive in Spain, so I worry about the longevity of the 2.
Right now I can get one of the Book2 Pro 360s with the s-pen and charger off ebay for less than $900. Best Buy and Samsung still have them at $1300-1600 and the 3s for $1900 outside of the occasional sale for $1600. I feel like the 2 is the better choice but the only laptops I've ever owned were a 2012 MacBook air and a 2014 hp so I don't have the most experience with them, especially Samsung laptops.
Do you think the Book2 Pro 360 with the s-pen is still worth it for my needs in 2023? Or should I plan to drain my wallet with the Book3 Pro 360?

Hi all,
My account got stolen around the start of this yea end of last year.
I have submitted numerous requests to get my account back, but Epic Games 'support' has refused to give it back to me due to 'security reasons' but won't state why.
I have provided them with information on when the account was created, linked with facebook, linked with twitch, linked with playstation. I have shown them purchases I've made on their store with the account, screenshots of played games I won with my name visible. Skins I have bought. Even when I got my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 I got the Galaxy skin!
Is anyone able to assist me in contacting someone at Epic Games to get my account back. I've been playing Fortnite since 2017, I believe season 2. And I have almost had every battle pass since. So yeah, this sucks. I have had to make a new account to play with my friends and it just isn't the same as I have no skins, gliders, pickaxes etc etc.
If anyone is able to assist me please let me know!
Thank you.

He is Bill S. Preston, Esq.! And he is Ted "Theodore" Logan! And together, they are Wyld Stallyns!
To everyone else in late-80s/early-90s San Dimas, California, Wyld Stallyns may look like the impossible dream of two slackers with no skill in anything else. But in truth, the music of Wyld Stallyns is so bodacious, so non-heinous, so excellent that it brings about an era of prosperity, both across the earth and to the stars beyond, and technological advancement so advanced that even time can be accessed as freely as a 10-digit phone number from the nearest payphone. Because of this, agents from the future utopia have sent back a time-travelling phone booth as well as information about the future to make sure that Bill and Ted are able to continue having most excellent adventures and fulfill the destiny of Wyld Stallyns.

"Catch ya later Bill and Ted!"

It's the first time I am going to build a desktop, and I wanted both feedback and answers to some questions I ended up having. I have been a laptop user and don't have much experience with this. So please, any advice is welcome, even outside the questions above.

Budget

Upp to 3500 USD.

Intended use

• Gaming, 1440p. I don't care much for playing on the highest resolution, especially for top AAA games. Examples of current games would be Elden Ring, Total War Warhammer III and Guild Wars 2.
• Programming work (larger compilations), virtualisation (Docker + VMs), SSD usage
• Occasional use for graphic design by family members. Nothing too fancy, but it should handle at least Adobe products and larger Krita projects without much issue.

Questions

• Does the motherboard (MSI MEG X670E ACE EATX AM5 Motherboard) sound like a good long-term choice? So far, I haven't stumbled on any issues, but I would ideally want this build to last me at least half a decade.
• Could I ask for some advice regarding GPUs? I was avoiding non-Nvidia because some of the graphic work programs perform better with Nvidia GPUs, as far as I know. Would you advise investing in the pricier 4070ti or going with something used and waiting for the next generation?
• Is there some worthwhile cost tradeoff between slowefaster ddr5 memory? As I was going through it, the cost difference seemed minuscule compared to the price of the GPU and CPU.
• This one is a bit generic, but do you have any advice towards cooling this machine? Will NH-D15 be good enough to cool this? I'm assuming most games should be no issue but let's say stuff like a compilation of large source code, etc., multicore 100%.

Build Notes

• I have a 3x 1TB SSDs that I intend to use on the remaining M2 spots.
• The SSD in the build would be used for the Windows partition. I want to use 2TB for it since most of the stuff I work with tends to auto-install into Windows structure.
