    It’s a strange diagram but shows what you have to know. If you ever seen different keyed m.2 cards, you should understand this. The important thing is the location of the keys, the notch. All m.2 cards has an ‘up’ and ‘down’ side, it shows only the ‘up’ side. You have to look inside the receptor to see the pins, that’s why it shows both sides, it’s not possible to see one side only on the receptor as they are in a plastic casing. Usually you can’t see the pins on the mobo, only the key.

    You can see a similar diagram on wikipedia, both sides of receptor, top side of card:

    The offset you were writing about doesn’t matter, it actually helps. You can’t accidentally insert the card upside down. The location of notches also help with this, as not all possible notches used yet, but in the future it could change.

    These connectors are really small. The receptor is similar how sodimm connector works, but smaller. Are you also afraid about inserting a ram in an laptop? It’s basically the same.

    Read more about the connector in wikipedia, I’m really happy this slowly replaces sata, msata, mpcie and even pcie in current pcs.

    You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?

    This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.

    Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.

    You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.


  • Iphone 4 had a shitty antenna design. This was the first iphone with a metal frame around, on the sides of the phone. If you holded it with your left hand you could easily accidentally short the two parts of the antenna, basically cutting all signals.

    This was definetily a design fault, there was even class action lawsuit against Apple. When they asked Steve Jobs about this, he replied:

    “You are holding it wrong.”





  • It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.

    You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:

    You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant

    Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.

    If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:

    https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2b/f9/d2/2bf9d2eb08223b7267876bbaf2d39a21.png

    You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:

    If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:

  • I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:

    “This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking […] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.

    But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”

    18 minutes video about how windows is bad, posted to literally the biggest linux circlejerk forum of the interwebs. Oh a misleading ad trying to sell the same thing as haveibeenpwned, classic.

    Nowadays if someone is annoyed by these things can switch to Linux, nearly all games work ootb, hardware acceleration and drm is also working in browsers. For a home user, competitive gaming is the only thing which is not on par with windows.

    For company environments where they use software which is windows only, group policy is there, sysadmins can lock down computers that it basically looks like a kiosk with only the few programs the employee need, no notifications, no ai bullshit, these annoyances only affect home users.



  • Yes that is another option. I know 7zip works there, win11 is mostly the same as win7 under the hood, but I would install a supported frontend instead of fiddling with the registry, tweaks like that can break after updates

    I don’t use windows personally, just set it up for others. I don’t care enough to tweak the registry for them, if there are more convenient solutions
