Title says it all. She is not the most technologically savvy person. Based on her description of how enjoyable and convenient it has been to purchase drugs through whatever services she has been interacting with I doubt she has taken any steps to protect herself and our shared network beyond whatever protections are put in place by her browser.

She has no intention of stopping using it, and wouldn’t tell us if she was using it in the future.

What steps can I take to better protect our network?

Update: She hasn’t been using a VPN and didn’t even consider doing that because “it costs too much”

Anyone know of a device that I could plug a USB HID device into and then plug into my computer that would hide the fact that it is an HID to my computer. This would essentially just be an intermediary device that is read by the computer as a normal keyboard or mouse. Any ideas? Thanks!

So short story first, feel free to skip to the next paragraph if you don't care. I still live with my parents unfortunately. Even with a full time job, I cannot afford rent. My dad has decided to throttle my interent speed for my computer because he doesnt like that I sometimes download large files that slow down his streaming. I dont think this is fair, because I pay for half of the interent bill. I've asked if he will turn it off, he says he has, but he obviously hasn't because my computer still takes 2 hours to download a 3gb file, while my phone, (both connected to the same WiFi,) can do it in about 2 minutes. I know he is able to throttle my interent speed because he's told me he can do it through some app on his phone.

If my internet speed is being throttled by my dad for my computer specifically, is there some way I can get around it? Would changing my IP address do it, if that's even possible? Can I get a VPN? Im not entirely sure how VPNs work tbh, but it seems like a VPN would go through the router rather than my computer, so I'm not sure thay would change anything for me.

Edit: Thanks for the help guys! I think I will tell my dad I will stop paying half of his bill, and get my own interent if he doesnt stop throttling it!

I’m huge into Technology and IT and I see cool devices and projects all the damn time. I even have a local AI running on a big ass server for production (my small app).

But are we deadass? 8 local AI models just imported put on a damn 64 GB flash drive… 999 sold FOR…get this… $89-99…

Fuck me man this is just a scam.😤

I'm applying for an IT Support Specialist role. I'm asking for advice on my résumé.

1. is it too sparse or short? if so should I extend to 2 pages to fit more experience?

2. Should I include projects and less experience?

any advice will be greatly appreciated!

For those that work IT or have seen your organizations cord storage solutions, what are you all doing. For example I have lots of power cords, hdmi, displayports, sata cables, adapters, etc.

Currently I am just using cardboard boxes and just wondering if theres a better idea out there i might like.

If you train or run deep learning models locally using an RTX 3060, hitting the dreaded PyTorch CUDA out of memory error is a regular headache. Even with the 12GB VRAM version, large batch sizes, unoptimized activation graphs, and memory fragmentation can crash your training scripts instantly.

​Most guides offer generic advice that ignores the specific limits of mid-range consumer cards. I put together a focused troubleshooting guide specifically for the RTX 3060 to help you maximize your VRAM. It covers tuning your batch sizes, leveraging automatic mixed precision, adjusting environment variables for memory allocation, and using gradient accumulation effectively.

​If you want to stop running into sudden VRAM crashes and keep your local machine training smoothly, check out the full breakdown here: https://interconnectd.com/blog/320/how-to-fix-pytorch-cuda-out-of-memory-on-rtx-3060-fast/

​What strategies have you found most effective for managing tight VRAM budgets on your hardware?

Choice A: Dual-booting Windows 11 (default) alongside my preferred Linux distro

Choice B: Completely replacing Windows 11 with my preferred Linux distro

Context: I am struggling with my current laptop setup because I am experiencing severe memory bottlenecks.

Current hardware specs (I own a budget-tier laptop):

• (C:) OS drive 12.7 GB free of 116GB
• (D:) Backup drive 200 GB free of 931 GB (1TB)
• 8 GB memory
• AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
• AMD Radeon Vega 8 (Picasso)

According to my research, Linux Mint is highly recommended as a lightweight Linux distribution for intensive web and database development.

My intention in asking here is to learn from someone with more experience regarding the trade-offs. So... enlighten me, guys!

Я недавно навайбкодил расширение для скачивания манги с мангалиба и 18+ ресурсов этого же сервиса . первые 100 глав хорошо загружались , а потом полезли ошибки 403 и 404 . при смене айпишника все работало недолго и проблема вернулась . если есть знающие люди пусть помогут
