I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.
My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?
My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.
Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?
@over_clox You are most welcome. This is one aspect I love about Linux, damned near everything is adjustable. Those adjustments aren't necessarily well organized, but they are usually there, somewhere...
I'm on a laptop with only 3 USB ports, and I'm running a physical laptop hard drive on an adapter on one USB port, and a laptop CD/DVD drive on another adapter on another port.
Obviously that's probably pushing the power limits of the USB power, but it's worked before, so I didn't see why it wasn't quite working right now.
But this time I was trying a different DVD drive, an HP TS-T633P slot loader drive. Apparently that drive is extra power hungry compared to a conventional laptop drive, so I dug out my old tray loader drive.
Apparently the slot loader drive was competing with the hard drive for power, and they were apparently taking turns robbing power from each other. The system is perfectly happy with the tray loader drive though, no reconfiguration necessary!
Within our present high-speed digital landscape, we see an irrefutable fixation with the lives of famous people. Including cinema launches and best-selling albums to candid interviews and digital shares, fans are always looking for extra facts about their favorite celebrities. Most commonly looked up themes are famous people’s backgrounds and their birth years. These pieces of information not only fulfill inquisitiveness but also allow admirers to form a stronger bond with the celebrities they idolize.
A famous person’s profile is beyond being a list of accomplishments. It’s a glimpse of someone’s life path and career trajectory. When readers look up a public figure’s biography, they’re not just seeking to know where someone was from or what roles they’ve played. They want to understand the struggles, key moments, and defining moments that influenced the human behind the spotlight. For instance, discovering Zendaya’s journey from Disney Channel star to renowned actress and fashion figure adds context and inspiration to her success. Her profile doesn’t just list her achievements, but her approach to reaching those goals.
Years of life is a commonly queried point, and not just for mere curiosity. It often functions as a source of empowerment. When someone observes a young actress Millie Bobby Brown making it big as a teenager, it offers hope to ambitious youth. On the other hand, watching seasoned stars like Keanu Reeves dominate major film roles well into middle age proves that creativity and ability persist over time. Looking up celebrity ages give insight into the timing of their career path, highlighting the phases of their fame and how they’ve developed through the years.
Celebrity age usually consist of a comprehensive variety of private and career-related information. They usually commence with the person’s full name, date of birth, and birthplace. Afterwards, fans regularly are interested in the public figure’s childhood, domestic life, and their initial entry into the field. As their work develops, key achievements such as famous roles, awards, commercial endeavors, and charitable activities are often noted. Many also appreciate details on a star’s private affairs, such as their romantic involvements, interests, and even quirky interests that add human dimension. These biographies commonly feature hidden tidbits or interesting details that engage readers and deepen a star’s persona.
In a age where fake news can propagate swiftly, the value of credible and confirmed celebrity bios cannot be undervalued. Reliable platforms like the IMDb database, Variety magazine, and updated Wikipedia pages are regularly the main points of reference for reliable details. Whether you’re writing for a blog, media portal, or dedicated community page, it’s essential to regularly update content to display the fresh and reliable data about a celebrity’s age, latest endeavors, or personal milestones. The showbiz world changes swiftly, and present hearsay can easily evolve into trending topics, making timely updates a important factor of maintaining trust with readers.
Specific public figures generate ongoing interest when it comes to their profiles. Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, for example, commands interest for her music, private affairs, and financial intelligence. Followers are always interested to learn about her evolving reputation and occupational progress.
Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet has ignited buzz thanks to his artistic background and quick ascent in the film industry. Pop icon Rihanna’s journey from singer to businesswoman and parent offers a layered and captivating story. Thor star Chris Hemsworth’s transformation into a international blockbuster actor and his real-world persona also keep fans clicking on his fresh developments.
Ultimately, public figures are more than entertainment icons. Their biographies demonstrate determination, grit, and originality. Whether someone is noticing a famous figure for the beginning, or watching their evolution for years, a carefully crafted biography and accurate personal facts link between notoriety and authentic experience.
Readers want depth beyond news—they want stories, value, and a purpose to engage. By crafting material that expresses the soul of who these public figures really are, you not only satisfy interest but establish a strong bond between stars and the public.

I am a Linux beginner but I really enjoyed it so far. So far. Since yesterday, my Linux (pop OS) only wants to boot into emergency mode. I have a suspicion, even though my Linux and Windows are located on different physical disks, somehow Windows does it's toxic ex lover things and somehow broke my Linux I assume. It's there a terminal command to somehow reorganise my boot files?
@Rubanski If it's booting into emergency mode, there are usually one of three issues, kernel is corrupt, a file system can not be mounted read/write, and this can be because of file system corruption or in the case of mdraid, because a raid device failed to self-assemble, or initramfs is broken. The easy way to fix most of these is to use an automated utility called boot repair, you download the ISO then burn to a thumb drive, then when you run into this kind of problem boot off the thumb drive. I'd start by trying to determine which of these it is, if you get into emergency mode then you at least have a shell prompt, try typing dmesg to see if there are any errors relating to the kernel, then check if all of the partitions are mounted and if they are all mounted read/write. If one or more is mounted read only this usually means that the automatic fsck found errors it can not fix and needs a manual run, in which case try fsck -f -y /dev/sdxx or /dev/nvmexnxpx, which ever the case may be (hard drive verses SSD). If this was the issue after the fsck successfully repairs the file system you should be able to boot successfully. If not, and nothing kernel related shows up in dmesg, then probably your initramfs has gotten hurt. In this case since you are new to Linux, boot repair is the easiest way to fix it. You can also fix manually but that is more complex, however if you need instructions on how to do this let me know and I will elaborate. Even doing so manually though requires another bootable Linux media, does not have to be boot repair, a popos install USB will also do.
@just_another_person @Rubanski On most modern systems neither Windows nor Linux is going to hurt each other's boot record because usually on a dual boot system you're going to launch grub out of the boot block which is going to them find and mount the UEFI partition which is a fat-32 partition usually mounted on /boot/efi by Linux, and then grub is going to continue from a directory within /boot/efi, windows similarly will have a directory there, and grub if it finds both will present a menu at boot. Since both use separate directories on this UEFI System partition, one should not interfere with the other unless the partition is too small and you run out of disk space. I usually size my EFI partition at 512MB and that's always been more than sufficient for multiple operating systems. If you re-install WIndows, it will overwrite the boot block with it's own boot loader, but restoring it with grub will you back to where you were. If you are a real glutton for punishment, you can setup the Windows boot loader to chain load grub, this works as I have actually done it, more as a matter of curiosity than anything else. But I prefer to use Grub as the first boot loader as it's faster and less prone to exploding.
Do you have any drives/ partitions set up to load at boot other than the main linux partition?
A common issue can be if linux is trying to mount a partition specified in fstab (the config file that lists all the hard drives to be loaded) and it can't mount it, it will go into emergency mode. It does this as it assumes the drives are critically important and to prevent any damage to your system. You can mark non essential partitions as "nofail" in the fstab file so that linux continues to boot even if those partitions are unavailable.
If you'd added a USB drive or another hard drive to auto mount at start up and its not available to linux then that might be the issue. Reinsert those drives and linux should boot. Alternatively you can login using emergency mode and edit the fstab file yourself if you know what youre doing. The offending drive can be removed/commented outthe fstab file or the nofail option added.
If your linux install is set to mount your windows C: partition (for file access in linux for example) then its important to know the drive can be locked out by windows. Windows "fast startup" is a very common cause - it basically means windows doesnt shut down fully, it does a fake shutdown (hibernates), and doing this locks down the drive, preventing any access to the C: drive including in linux. If this scenario applies to you, boot into wndows, disable fast startup in the control panel and then try to reboot into linux.
It this works it is still worth using the "nofail" option in fstab for any non essential drives. I personally dont auto mount my windows drive at all anymore; I have it visible in my file manager but manually mount it (just clikcing on it does it) when I need it.
@Rubanski if you have mdraid partitions, you also should add bootdegraded=true to the grub command line so the system will still boot even if a disk fails and an array is in the degraded mode.
While I agree with your assertion in theory, I cannot agree that windows doesn't mess with grub. I have had 5 different issues with grub being overwritten, 1 was because windows and Linux were on the same drive, but the other 4 was simply because I launched windows through grub.
My advice for people dual booting is to never launch windows through grub and instead change your boot order in bios, this has made all of my boot related issues go away.
@Attacker94 The boot block pointing to grub is what gets overwritten, grub itself in /boot/efi doesn't. You can fix either though with either boot repair or boot from a usb thumb drive, mount the partitions on /mnt and subdirectories,mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts, and then mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc and /sys /mnt/sys, cp /etc/resolv.conf to /mnt/etc/resolv.conf, chroot to /mnt, and then grub-install /dev/sda or whatever the drive is. Not a big deal. And this only happens if you install Windows AFTER you have installed Linux.

A June 2023 study discovered Fanzors, CRISPR-like DNA-snippers in eukaryotes, including fungi, algae, amoebae, and a clam.
Fanzor is smaller than Cas enzymes, making it a potential fit for smaller viruses for delivery to cells. However, it may have a disadvantage in cutting multiple identical sites in a genome.
CRISPR-Cas systems work well in most organisms, but Fanzor might be useful for scientists working with certain bacteria where Cas enzymes are toxic.

This one here is the Neptune 15. It's a 15.6'' laptop, with a full HD IPS panel, running at 144hz. It's all made out of black aluminium, and it's pretty lightweight for the power it packs: 4.4 pounds, or 2 kilos, for a 10th gen intel core i7 CPU, with 8 cores and 16 threads, an RTX 2060 with 6gb of memory, and 16gb of RAM. My test unit came with 256Gb of SSD, but you can actually configure that up: it can go up to and RTX2080 Super Max-Q, 64Gb of RAM, and 4Tb of storage.
They have multiple keyboard options, mine came with as US qwerty keyboard, but you could get a bunch of other layouts as well.
The I/O is pretty excellent. On the left side, you've got a micro SD card slot, a USB A port, a headset and a microphone jack. On the right side, you have 2 more USB A, and an ethernet port
And on the back, a minidisplay port, an HDMI port, the plug for the barrel charger, and a thunderbolt 3 port for data, not charging. It didn't seem to be recognized by GNOME though, but maybe it only activates with something plugged in.
Now that it's out of the box, and I had a few days to play around with it, here are some first impressions.
First, that panel. It's good. It doesn't go ultra bright, but it's matte, so basically no reflections whatsoever. And that 144hz refresh rate is simply amazing. I didn't think this mattered at all, but after using it for a few hours each day, going back to my 60hz displays on my desktop was a bit of a shock. It really does make a difference. The viewing angles are fantastic as well, with no loss of color, or color shifting.
The webcam is pretty standard, at 720p, nothing special, you won't look like a potato during your video conferences, but it's nothing to write home about.
I thought maybe the power button would double as a fingerprint scanner, but it doesn't seem to be the case, but you still get a full size keyboard, with number pad, and, more importantly for some people, RGB. You can tweak the backlight to whatever color you want, and Juno Computers included a small utility in the top bar to let you tweak that.
By the way, another utility allows you to change the fan speed if you want, and switch profiles between the intel, or nvidia card, with an "nvidia on demand mode", which pairs well with GNOME's ability to open apps using the dedicated GPU.
Other than that, the Ubuntu install is a pretty much stock OEM install of 20.04, with the latest Nvidia drivers included as well.
The build quality is very nice, thanks to the aluminium, we'll have to see if the black texture doesn't scratch off too easily after a few more weeks of use. The screen hinge is pretty sturdy, and doesn't wobble much.
There is a bit of give around the keyboard when you type, and you'll definitely see it, but the keys feel good as well, good amount of travel, and satisfying, muffled sound. It lacks a bit of bounceback for my taste, but it's still pretty good. There is also some amount of flex on the back of the panel, but that's not somewhere where you'll be pressing most of the time, so it's not worrying.
Now, the windows key here, I could have done without. Building a Linux computer means selling it to Linux guys, and making the extra effort to remove that key and replace it by something else, a SUPER logo, or a Juno computers logo, or an Ubuntu logo even, would have been cool.
Now the trackpad seems excellent. It's super smooth, very precise, it really glides super well. Once I got some gestures set up in there, it's going to be a dream. Only problem: this 2 button layout. I've gotten used to a clicky trackpad, where two finger clicking does a right click, and going back to that seems a bit old school for me, but I'm sure some people will see this as an advantage.
It's a dream gaming laptop: beautiful without too much in the way of GAMER LOOKZ, apart from the RGB in the keyboard, and since the panel goes only to 1080p, the RTX2060 or up is largely enough to run at 144Hz and make sure you have a super smooth gaming experience.
