    Linux How to dual boot windows with Debian

    Then you need to install Windows on an empty disk. (I am not sure if an empty partition will suffice but I have learned not to give benefit of doubt to Windows. Also, disconnect your Linux disk just to be safe.) Then, follow a guide which can tell you how to restore your grub bootloader after...

    Linux How to dual boot windows with Debian

    Yes. Windows is ******* like that. You need to install Windows first and then Linux. That's the easiest way.

    What do you guys use such huge storage for?

    I copy my favourite tracks to phone when going on trips. Can't assume internet will be always available.

    Spam calls severely affecting mental health

    Seconding this. DND works wonderfully for me. Only a-hole companies like Lodha call nowadays and I end up blocking that number.

    51-70k Looking to build a new PC with a new/used GPU but can't decide what to get

    Is there any reason why you're not looking at AMD build? They have recently introduced AM5 socket and it will be around for sometime. AM4 was supported for almost 9 years, unlike Intel who change their CPU sockets every couple of years.

    What's the biggest TV size I can fit on this wall, and which are some decent brands for the same?

    Best option is to get a carpenter's measuring tape and match it diagonally across the TV. I guess you can arrange 55 inch TV on a wall mount by swiveling it a bit. So right side would be closer to the wall behind while left side would be a bit farther away.

    Xbox GamePass Price Hike

    I don't think that will happen. The culture at Steam seems opposed to going public and having to answer to shareholders. Not all companies want to go public. For example, Parle is nearly a century old and still a private company.

    PC Peripherals Double-Clicking Logitech Mouse, Best Options?

    Yeah but consider this. Either you get a mouse that develops issues again and you spend time and money getting it exchanged or buy new one if it starts giving issues just after warranty period. Or you can buy an expensive but reliable mouse now to avoid such issues in future.

    Laptops Do laptops not come with LAN port anymore?

    I have a 2 year old HP company laptop (Elitebook) and it has display out via USB C port. I connect it to a dock and I get power, display, and network from that one connection. So it depends on the model.

    US bans Kaspersky Products Citing "Security Risks"

    I'm surprised it took them this long tbh. NSA must've flagged it as a security risk ages ago.

    Anyone left Reddit completely and moved somewhere else? What was your experience like?

    1. Anyone who thinks Reddit is leftist heaven is delusional af 2. If you think 'leftist heaven' is something to be afraid of, you need to read a book or two about it first.

    Indian Stock Market and Mutual Funds

    To add to this, F&O are basically contracts. You can and will lose more money than what you've invested. In stock trading you can buy for X rs and then have profit of X+Y or loss of X-Y where Y would be smaller than X. That is not the case with F&O. You can do trade of 1 lakh but end up owing...
