Is there any way to turn off those annoying "suggested responses" in GMail that's stuff really bland "normies" would say? When I get an email, there's suggestions like:

"Glad to hear it!"
"Ok, thanks for letting me know."
"Ok, see you soon."

It is really, really "smartphone"-ish and annoying.

it can probably be turned off in settings but its also worth considering that google will automatically turn certain things back on, they do it with trending searches

It was posted how to do that and it's gone for now, but Google keeps sucking more so it could come back.
 
The INS key. It renders everything but the application currently in use inaccessible. Is there a way to undo the effect without resorting to CRL+ALT+DEL?
 
Ok me and my buddy have been working on his new build for the last few days. It runs, everything is downloaded, it's great. Problem, a drive is "missing". It has 3. A 500 gig boot. That shows up. A 1tb hdd. And a 1tb m.2. The m.2 is gone. If I remember before he brought it home (he called later) the BIOS did say the m.2 was in there.

Is it in RAID? How do I stop that?

There are M.2 Sata drives and M.2 NVME drives. If you have the wrong one for your port, it won't work. I ran into the same problem upgrading a laptop recently. It's completely retarded because even some manufacturers don't do a good job differentiating.

Its a Samsung 980. I'll check the board when I go over to his house today. Thank you, this tells me a lot.

Edit:

Psst... those are the same.

See that where it says "PCIe"
Do make sure it's in the Hyper M.2 port and not the Ultra one though, for best performance.
(Also what a stupid naming scheme.)

I need suggestions for a new router. The only "must have" features are a 2.5 GB, Wi-Fi 6 and WPA3.

I did some research on my own. Turns out there's routers with built in CPUs.
 
How do I nuke Bixby from orbit?

I don't want to disable it. I don't want to remap the button. I want Bixby to NOT EXIST on my shitty Android Galaxy A54 5G.

Best I can offer you is disabling it. Welcome to Samsung phones.

1. Hold your power button until the power off menu pops up and select "side button settings" and remap the Bixby button to off or something else. This is also under advanced settings in settings.
2. If you have already opened and agreed to TOS for Bixby, you need to go into the app settings and disable Voice Wake Up.
3. Turn off Smart Suggestion below Bixby in Advanced Settings.
4. On your home screen, press and hold to bring up the customization screen and swipe left to the Bixby homepage and toggle that off.
5. Go to Settings, Apps, Bixby Voice, select storage, then Clear Cache and Clear Data. Go back on page and disable the app.

That should make it not work.

It looks like there is a version of TWRP for this device if you are on Android 14 and you can use it to root your phone and use ADB to uninstall Bixby. I have no experience with this particular phone myself, but the XDA board would be a good place to start. Suffice to say you're going to be voiding your warranty and using the terminal if you want to do this, so if you're uncomfortable with either of those, maybe just disable it.

You don't need to root the phone, you can use ADB to entirely disable it. This Github repo has a script to disable bloatware:
But be aware that it's extremely aggressive and will remove the stock clock and SMS applications. You probably will want to review the script and remove lines for things you want to keep.

This won't delete the actual files and reclaim your storage space, but it's as close as you can get to a total disablement without rooting. And I don't recommend rooting.

Is there a way to mass rename files? Specifically mass remove a single letter/symbol from a bunch of file names. I wanna mass rename a bunch of music which all have ~ signs on the file name without doing it one by one.

In powershell, after changing to the directory
Code: 
dir -Attributes !Directory | foreach{move $_.FullName ($_.FullName).Replace("~","") }

I apologize if this question has been asked before and answered, but what are the ways to tell if something is AI generated?
Is there a software that you can analize files with and detect if they're deepfakes or something?
Thank you!
