it doesnt even give me a screen record option when i plug evrything in

so i have no idea what to do

i wanna get a 4k 120hz 40-50 inch OLED tv so bad but the gpus for it are waaaaaaaay to expensive rn

Really? I dunno

i just have a 20 and 24 1080p and a 19 1280x1024

Depends on what kind of minecraft, but i play 1.12.2 with 50 mods on a decade old office laptop and it runs 40-60 fps, it really can run on anything

1.16 works great, if i use the Sodium performance optimizer mod

so really any modern laptop that isnt a pentium, celeron, or atom should run it extremely well

ok

just make sure you get at leasst 8GB of ram too

if you want to do ANY mutlitasking

with mc open

ok

Gun for 16gb tho

absolutely

if you wanna do good multitasking and you dont debloat windows, 16gb is way faster

i got 18GB on my desktop XD

only 8GB on my laptop, since it really doesnt need more than that just for document editing and playing minecraft while browsing

Yeah, your "average" laptop is difficult to use outside of light gaming or light productivity

if you mean mine thats an understatement, its got an i7 in it but no gpu, so its completely useless for anything remotely modern in gaming

doesnt even have dx11

its an intel hd roughly equal to power of a Radeon HD 2600...

thats why i stick to my desktop for anything beyond minecraft or other pre 2010 games

I somehow don't understand that. I have 40ish and game on it. Sitting close to it and it is ok for me.

Depends on the resolution your eye sight and the content

Its 1080p

Oh man

40" 1080p

good lord

Must look like those large print texts the visually impaired read

It is actually a tv but i use it as a Monitor for my pc because I have a 70" 4kish (sonys own 4k or some shit) TV

@Stargatemaster96 any luck yet? I've been doing some searching myself but I'm not super certain what exactly I'm looking for

I was unable to locate any of the software I had used before that was free.

That said, GNU ddrescue looks like it could work. Your father would hopefully have experience with Linux and could understand this. The bottom also mentions some other software to try if you can get the bulk with GNU ddrescue but still have some corrupted files. The commands at the bottom also include some example command options you might use including "-r3" which means retry any it couldn't recover three times but tweek to what you think you need.

"ddrescue --help" will give you all the options so read through it. I check and Fedora has GNU ddrescue in the main repo but I imagine many others like Ubuntu and Debian also do so whatever distro you/your father prefer should work. You will need a drive larger then the dead drive to clone this all to during recovery. While it nay be possible to compress, at this point you just need to get the data off your drive ASAP.

Anyone here actually mining crypto?

Eth

Not hardcore been doing it on and off on me and my wife’s gaming computers

Gtx1080 and rtx 2070, would be lucky to clear $70 a month

I used to make a good amount of money mining a few years ago but it's just not profitable anymore last I checked.

Yeah it’s also inflating a bit from what I’ve heard(don’t quote me on that)

Considering there's a finite number of Bitcoin that will ever exist, I'm not sure it's really inflation in the sense that we normally know with currency where governments start printing money without it being backed by anything.

Yeah I guess that means that it’s harder to get Bitcoin and it’s gonna get harder.
