American values aren’t important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

Yeah, Back when I was a kid we used to roam those point and click adventures a lot. We’d get stuck all the times. Sometimes a friend would have an idea and we’d make some progress. But the internet was slow and we still had dialup. I guess there weren’t that much walkthroughs available. At least not in the parts of the internet I knew my way around… Yeah, and English is my second language. So information was kinda scarce antways, before I learned the main language of the internet in school… Everything developed and now I have everything available. I even have those old games sitting on an SD card on a Raspberry Pi and waiting for me. I really should finish that game at some point. On the flipside, I’m an adult now and it’s difficult to find the time to play point and click adventures all day long 😆

And regarding the items: I tried ManiacMansion, which I believe is included in DOTT. That’s properly impossible without an expert at your side.

It’s a hashtag. Pretty much invisible but I can still see it.

Well that shouldn’t happen. I guess it’s technically possible because I can also change my own comments and they’re not signed or anything… But changing other people’s comments is kind if lying and being disingenuous. Either it’s a technical issue, or your comment was so offensive that it warranted an exception to the rule, or the mods/admins don’t know what is right and what is wrong.

Hmmh. I guess Lemmy should display that kind of information more prominently. But there isn’t much progress UI wise… Guess you could just look it up in the modlog. Or do it like that 😆 Thanks for the report anyways.

Yes. I have like 3 different apps but I regularly use Eternity. I think you’re right and a decent part if it is Eternity. Like half of the empty messages show up in other apps or the web interface. But not all of them. I don’t quite think it’s just deleted messages. Some others are definitely there and also don’t show up in Eternity… Maybe it’s a combination of factors. Honestly I didn’t quite pay attention when I was using which app. I’m still trying to figure it out. But this definitely seems to be part of it.

Day of the Tentacle

Ah, thanks. Maybe there’s a few people like that out there.

Hmmh, not sure. I think broken images show up with some character. But that post also has one comment that shows empty in one App and text plus a picture on a different App. I think I need some time and figure out what it does on the computer.

Fair enough. At least I’m not getting crazy…

Sure. I can read 99% of the comments normally. Thx I’m gonna try Jerboa again and see if I can reproduce it.

Yeah, that’s a bracket but very close to being invisible.

that’s empty.

Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.

If the files are very important, maybe don’t tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it’s encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

Where are you going / steering towards?

FYI: There’s also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, …

Some of them aren’t maintained anymore. And they don’t necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don’t all require root and system patches.

I’d pick the Raspberry Pi if you can do the install. Furthermore maybe your internet router can do it. I think it’s possible with some Fritzbox models or ones that run OpenWRT. Or you pay the price for one of those dedicated adapters. I don’t know if the drivers for those are more or less haste than using a Raspberry Pi.

I’ve used laptops for more than a decade. And sure, in the early times thermal management wasn’t that elborate. But I really haven’t seen any laptop in many, many years that doesn’t do it with perfect accuracy. And usually it’s done in hardware so there isn’t really any way for it to fail. And I played games and compiled software for hours with all CPU cores at 100% and fans blasting. At least with my current laptop and the two Thinkpads before. The first one had really good fans and never went to the limit. The others hit it with an accuracy of like 2 or 3 degrees. No software necessary. I’m pretty sure with the technology of the last 10 years, throttling doesn’t ever fail unless you deliberately mess with it.

But now that I’m thinking of the fans… Maybe if the fan is clogged or has mechanically failed, there is a way… A decent Intel or AMD CPU will still throttle. But without a fan and airflow inside the laptop, other components might get too hot. But I’m thinking more of some capacitors or the harddisk which can’t defend itself. The iGPU should be part of the thermal budget of the rest of the processor. Maybe it’s handled differently because it doesn’t draw that much power and doesn’t really contribute to overheating it. I’m not sure.

Maybe it’s more a hardware failure, a defective sensor, dust, a loose heat conductor, thermal paste or the fan? I still can’t believe a laptop would enter that mode unless something was wrong with the hardware. But I might be wrong.

Listen to the people who say it’s probably encryption. I’d agree with that. And you can try all sorts of programs and ways to fix corrupted files… It won’t help if it’s encryption. You’d need to find out the specifics, see if there is a script floating around or some tutorial for your specific phone model that tells you how to decrypt them.

Why does it force the processor over the limit in the first place?

I think in every other laptop the CPU just throttles when it gets too hot. Meaning it can never exceed the maximum temperature. I wonder if this is a misunderstanding or if HP actually did away with all of that and designed a laptop that will cook itself.

And it’s not even a good design decision to shutdown the PC if someone runs a game… Aren’t computers meant to run them? Why not automatically lower the framerate by throttling? Why shut down instead?
