Nope. Boot into linux and grab as much info as you can. Tell them you have all their files backed up but you will need to reinstall the OS which would wipe their files from the computer but not the backup you made, and you can give them the backup separately for them to put the files back in themselves.

>>58506377
Also ask for any out of the way locations for files to save, like outside the My Documents folder and user folder.

If either his PC or yours is a desktop, why not just boot into your windows drive to salvage the shit from his? Opening a panel and plugging in a SATA data and power cables isn't much of a hassle.

I wonder where the ayymd overhead comes from?

is there any advantage to removing it?

>>58506548
Is there any advantage to having it is the right question. Crossfire has better scaling so the answer is no. Nvidia doesn't bother because it means they can sell you a $70 bridge for 1-2fps.

Why do we hate BSD again?

whats the difference between bsd and linux

>>58506372
BSD is Unix, GNU/Linux is Unix-like

You don't learn to program from books or courses, at best they can act as good introductory material to learn the terminology and patterns, or as a technical reference.
Limit yourself to read only 1 book for every 3-6 months of actual programming. Real learning is done by actual experimentation and tinkering.

this is pasta but relevant to the topic:
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

Is there some reason you aren't just writing a bash script for this?

>>58505833
It is for a C program. There has to be a way to embed this command in a C program.

I think you're the one who needs English lessons, Pajeet. It's perfectly readable

Anyway, I just realized the update icon is just a cinnamon applet, so it should be available for download on any distro that has cinnamon

>> not waiting for OP4

No, the oneplus 3t is a great phone for the price, and is quiet pretty.

I had the original OP3 for a while before swapping for a Pixel XL.

Very good phone for the price (got mine before the price increase).

Oxygen OS bugs occasionally and the camera was just "ok". Other than that solid phone, great battery life. If you don't care about expandable storage etc.

Have you tried this?

Also you may like dired-jump (built in) or maybe projectile with helm.

>>58505250
Here's the real reason:

Browsing is an inferior way of communicating with your editor. I realize this sounds pompous, but bear with me for a minute.

With packages like helm and ivy available, you can use fuzzy search to find the files/directories you are looking for. If you don't want to search, you can also use these packages to browse your directories in a list format, which is far easier than the traditional tree-style navigation that most editors and IDEs have.

My guess is that people came to emacs from other editors, missed their traditional tree-style navigation, and tried to replicate it in emacs. Then, after using emacs for a while, they realized that tree-style navigation simply isn't that great, and switched over to a package like helm or ivy.

It's the same reason why emacs doesn't have a good way of making tabs. As it turns out, buffers and windows are a far more intuitive and versatile solution than tabbed editing.

I strongly urge you to grab helm or ivy or ido-flx, you will move through directories much faster.

though i think helm is a piece of shit
