I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Which one is the best for me to check my SSD health, speed, and everything else:
Hard Disk Sentinel 5.01 or CrystalDiskInfo 7.0.5?

I want to refine the OP a bit but too tired right now, and busy lately.
I think it'd be best to list best values at price points and usages.
People seem to get confused
Also driver updates for both Nvidia and AMD have heavily closed to gap on some games that used to be poor performance outliers on either. (AMD is now way better on quantum break, overwatch, and GR wildlands where it sucked at before. Nvidia is now way better on Deus Ex, and The Division, where it sucked before)
But it comes down to Freesync being far more widely adopted, and far cheaper, where you end up pretty much paying 1070 price for a 1060+gsync monitor compared to rx580+freesync.
Also RX460 performance has massively increased, which has been overlooked, and now roughly matches the 1050Ti yet can be found at $70-$85. The RX560 should be faster, and if cheap enough may be worthwhile. (at $100 is usually where I'd say the 1050Ti was maybe worth it)
RX550 is not worth it unless $50-$60 (currently MSRP is $80)
It should be clear with how it says
>1060 & 1070 are worth considering if you already have a Gsync monitor.
but people often still don't get it. idk.

What are the best calendar sync options or applications between PC and Android, without using a google/gmail account.
Previously I primarily used Office Outlook to manage my calendar. Back when I had an iPhone years ago, this would work just fine.
Now I use Android, I can't natively synchronize the calendar to my phone. No I have to install some garbage plugin, have it copy the entries (one way) to a gmail account, then manually open the gmail calendar app on my phone before it shows up in my actual calendar.
This is such a clunky approach that I stopped using it. But I'm looking for a better solution now.
Preferably I'd like some sort of calendar application on Windows that can synchronize with an online profile that automatically works in the native calendar app.

>>60227410
Thanks, I could look into setting up a small caldav server from a raspberry pi sometime.
For now it seems like the android application 'SmoothSync' might be a reasonable solution. This way I just continue to use the Apple iCloud calendar which I can access on the desktop through any/various applications.
It's supposed to completely integrate with the calendar app so I'm going to give that a shot. I'm not running stock android, but some custom ROM from the manufacturer, so I'll have to see if it works.

Anyone here who knows anything about resetting TPM based SVP's?
My dumb brother set a SVP on his TP T440 and forgot it.
Can i trust allservice DOT ro?
They claim to be able to fix it.
All i need to do is pay them 79$ for a SPEG + some software and 65$ for them to modify the BIOS dump i create with the SPEG, send them the dump, flash it, let it reset the TPM and reflash the original BIOS.

You can just use any dumper.

Also this seems like a huge vulnerability, loading unsigned dxe driver. This effectively bypasses boot guard.
I wonder if I can get Lenovo to fix it.

Eng. samples are usually not as highly clocked as the finished product, but anyone hoping for the kind of OC you see on 4 cores is dreaming. I'm betting final stock clocks 3.6 GHz, same as the i7-6850K.

If they're planning on keeping a 91-95W TDP, they're not gonna clock it much higher than what we see now.
