I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D running Fedora 23 that overheats. The fan doesn't properly turn on which cause the laptop to shut down. Is there any way I can mitigate this issue?
I've tried following this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed but unfortunately pwmconfig doesn't seem to work on my laptop and lm_sensors only report temperature and not fan speed.
I've tried things like powertop and TLP for power management but the issue remains. I've also looked into toshutils but I got an error when I tried to build from source that said my OS wasn't supported.
I'm at an impasse on what to do.

So just a few minutes ago I got a pop-up insisting a restart my computer to update Windows. Thing is, I turned auto-updating off and am on Windows 7. Same message is on the Windows Update screen so chances are it's not a virus, but I'm scanning anyway.

Point is, how the fuck do I stop this? I don't want to restart my computer and end up with a bunch of telemetry shit, or worse, end up with Windows fucking 10. Is there anything I can do to sabotage this update?

Depends on the area and if your neighbours use it. Most folks are on adsl2+ though, and seem to have 0 idea cable is even an option. I'm on 100mbps cable (with telstra) and i typically pull full speed all the time (108-115 on speedtest), worst case is around 7MB/s (though may have just been download server). If you're thinking of going optus they offer unlimited quota on cable, 100mbps speeds too. Not sure how their overall network compares to telstra though.

A good guideline is to use a motherboard rated for SLI, which just means that the board has at least 2 PCI lanes that operate in x16 mode on their own, or x8/x8 as a minumum.
If you're using PCIe3.0, then it doesn't really matter as long as they're at least PCIeX16 in x4 mode.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what jobs can I realistically get working with GNU/Linux or other unix-like systems?

Currently a 19 year old NEET using GNU/Linux on all my computers. I have started reading C Primer Plus 6th Edition, but I have trouble reading it for long sessions without getting distracted, so I am only in the second chapter. I did, however, finish Highbrow's email course on C. I've started a bunch of courses on Codecademy, but only really finished the command line course and the SQL course. Also, SQL sucks.

So basically I can't really program yet, but am trying to learn, and I don't want to use Windows. Should I spend more time learning before applying anywhere? If so, what sort of stuff should I brush up on?

In my experience, most enterprises use windows, at least on the frontend so knowing windows is almost required. Also, most enterprises won't even let you near their backend without a useless degree in IT or at least taking them on a couple dates. Get your foot in the door at a help desk and move up from there. If you land a job a chill place, you can probably work on a degree at the same time and possibly get tuition reimbursement.

Use common sense next time. As far as clearing thumbnails? Who fucking cares, everyone looks at porn. Ccleaner will take care of enough that only someone dedicated to find out what porn you look at will find out.

And reinstalling Windows isn't really a meme. If you have proper backups, it usually takes less time to start fresh than it does to repair.

Lets see:

vs
>Take 20 minutes to re-image and another 20 minutes to reinstall software / copy backups.

>And reinstalling Windows isn't really a meme. If you have proper backups, it usually takes less time to start fresh than it does to repair.

I don't have proper back ups because i'm a poorfag who can't afford multiple tb hard drives, and I have some registry edits for specialized software I use that I really don't want to have to redo

>I just don't want to use Windows at all ever again. Is that really too much to ask?
Unfortunately, yes. There is a reason that Windows has the majority for desktop users. Like I said, MOST enterprises use Windows on the frontend and maybe a mix on the backend. I'm sure there are places that don't use Windows but I can't speculate on that.

>B-but college is a scam!
Yup. Start at community college and transfer to a 4 year. Get your foot in the door. A company will not hire anyone for pretty much anything these days other than entry level with no degree. Moving up within is easier than getting hired from the outside, especially with no experience / degree.

My brother only went to college for a little while and doesn't have a degree. He doesn't even list it on his resume, and he got a job making over $60,000 a year. I'm not really interested in his exact job because he has to use Windows and talk to people over the phone, but surely there are tech jobs where I can avoid Windows.

Sounds like he works at a help desk. It's an entry level position.

I'm sure there are tech jobs where you can avoid Windows, but like I said, you pretty much need a degree or at least need to get your foot in the door.

I decided to buy this case after seeing it on sale(was going to get a NZXT Phantom). After a month found out it has a common problem with air flow. I thought about it and wants to cut out a vent pattern in the front panel since the fans are right behind it and the current vent is a 15"X1" vent that really throttles it, reason why it has bad air flow in the first place.

Is this reasonable to do or should I just leave the front plate off?

>Studying the Cisco CCNA

Can someone explain me the difference between a link-local address and the unique local address ?
I just don't get it, and hadn't noticed it until I looked up a table of the Ipv6 address space on IANA.

well I know that a unique-local is one in the fc00::/7 address space and that a link-local is in the fe80::/10.
But why is it not the same ?
A link is a subnet in IPv6 right ? and the purpose of the unique-local address (fc00::/7) is the same as the private addressing in IPv4, right ?

Cisco explains that every device needs a link-local address, and if it is not manually given it will be created automatically.
>fe80 + 54 bits + Interface ID
which allows all the devices to communicate on the same subnet.
So how is that different than than the unique local address ?

>>54906246
>difference between a link-local address and the unique local address
Link local addresses are used in one single network segment, they can't be routed. Unique local addresses can be routed, but only within one routing domain. So an ISP can choose to use ULA for services which can't be publicly accessible.

Unfortunately it's the S340 which has mountings for only two hdd's (hotswap). More unfortunate is that I have a WD Black which is known to have higher temps than your average hdd. I'm thinking just putting a 12cm fan in there would be a good idea and reduce temps by some 5C at least.
