And how much more trade do you have with GB than with the EU?
You just keep shooting at your feet there fella. You’re sure to hit one of them soon!

A few days ago, my computer was poisoned and the screen kept flickering after I turned it on. I want to ask my friend for help, but my friend said that another friend did it on purpose. [DELETED]

But what will it do to the computer?

This is actually a rant against a Chinese virologist that claims covid-19 was custom made in a lab.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

My laptop has been hanging at random a few minutes after startup.
It's a complete freeze and nothing works after that except pushing the physical restart button.
It never freezes again after the restart.
It only does this sometimes, like two times this past week (with multiple startups a day) and not at all the week before that.
Since it's usually something like three or four minutes after startup you'd expect to see something going wrong, like something in the event viewer, but there's nothing really out of the ordinary.
Software freezing an entire machine like that is possible, but unlikely I guess.
So it could be a hardware problem.
Something with a HD or maybe memory.
ing impossible to fix this sh*t if you're not intimately familiar with troubleshooting computers and even then it may be a guess as broken hardware may not always show
Last time something like this happened, it was my SSD, which I only discovered because it wasn't being used or shown by the system at all (I simply remembered I had an SSD).
So... I guess business as usual until it either fixes itself or the laptop becomes unusable

I had a strange problem with the Windows Desktop Manager consuming Gigabytes of memory when an external monitor was attached. After running the following command it seems to be solved:
powercfg.exe /hibernate off It's a thing you can try, at the cost of a slower startup. It frees space taken by hiberfil.sys on the system disk.

Ran the command, I'll let you know if the problem persists in a week or two/three
Also, I got a prompt saying some RZ needs to browse my files, should I accept?
|
|
|
|
|
We'll see what happens, I did not get any prompt, no idea what or who RZ may be

In the old days I would just type C: and reinstall everything.

What's the exact command?
format C:...?
Worth a shot
