Make noise for the 🎉 world of FREE SOFTWARE and high-speed disks. Only at limitsite.com.
I really like this video recording software. I had 3 options for Windows 11 Home edition video creation. First option was "Camera" which is included. It did not process mouth-to-sound fluidness and thus was disqualified from being considered practical to use. "Clipchamp" (by Microsoft) also did not go so well for me. The problem with Clipchamp was the problem. Well, I did not even bother using it after reinstalling Windows and needing a video recorder option for the Zephyrus G16 ASUS AMD Laptop, which previously had shown graphics artifacts and instability. So my choice with the new OS install was OBS Software 📷. I will use it to generate MP4 files, if I need. Maybe I'll bring discussions to the table here at Limitsite.com. 📣 I also have tried some of "Capcut", for creating social content. I'm a beginner at that but might have it working.
Overnight reinstall of Windows 11 got me going happily along today. To open/restore my past Virtualbox virtual instances I had to copy Virtualbox VM's folder from the Sandisk Extreme 1 TB USB SSD backup. I noticed that still the USB SSD can slow to 0kb/sec @ 8 minutes, out of nowhere. Then I did what I sensed: rebooted after disconnecting the disk by the icon tray disk eject feature. The problem: the slow speed of 0kb/sec went away and upon rebooting it hits the 1000MB/sec highs again! This says that Microsoft Windows 11 is not yet perfect, and to add more I've had issues with icons locking in the taskbar.
So, Microsoft is to blame for some of this. Overall, I'm happy with my new reinstallation of Microsoft Windows 11. This mediacreationtool.exe software was rather slow, but once it was done I had to reinstall from the USB disk I made. There were problems with my ASUS laptop getting graphics artifacts, but I again, used the disk we used, which was Sandisk's 1TB Extreme SSD, which is (by shipping from Amazon) to counter a hardware/software problem. Price for this disk is at around $99, and you can also grab the case. It can get your Windows 11 setup boot disk just fine, but I haven't yet tested installing Linux setup ("Calamares") on the disk, but I plan to watch it boot. Since it seemed to get Microsoft Windows 11 working without flickering, I am assuming it is to work okay. Using the "Disk Management" utility in Windows allowed for resizing drives allowed for use.
I add comment for this USB: that you have the option of a 2 TB PRO 2000 MB/sec. version, or a 4 TB (also PRO) edition. The 2 TB does 2000 MB/sec, which is a good value because it's only about $100 more from the $99 one that is only 1 TB 1000MB/sec. Use Full-Disk Encryption from Sandisk with your Extreme and Extreme Pro SSDs with all editions of the SanDisk Extreme SSD. They really support the product with free software disk encryption free of charge. Then, see also: inside this picture is the tmux guide (book), which costs $22, but this linked copy is the new one, for tmux 3.2 (~$33). As so, although my copy is somewhat outdated, you might be able to do better with the $33 version. I think that AI can be useful for comparing differences in older and newer software, or give tips about books. Particularly, in this day and age. Recently I sampled the portal for Google's Vertex AI (API), it provided useful features for summarizing Reddit.
Enough with that though, why tmux is an application that allows resourceful use of a Linux terminal is covered in that book. I'm awaiting some skill in Python to become used when needing. I might use tmux in the future. Also, both Python and tmux go good with Vim. Vim is this writing tool which I discovered while living in Palo Alto and doing some college. They all use this to code on their computers, the advanced AGILE theory DevOps technology utilized on a small footprint is what I am interested in. Deep dive with me if you know that's what you want to be doing, and I'll explain.
Note: The USB disk and optional case are sold separately.
Using the NIUBI Software is immensely useful for adjusting and calculating disks in Windows 11. It gives an invaluable representation through its interface.
I was able to get by using the free copy, but this software probably has some features if you decide to pay for it.
More maintenance to come!

Follow the instructions of this blog to consider it: with benefits that your electronics and OLED screen(s) are going to be looking brand new, fresh as the day you bought them. The metal finish of the ASUS Zephyrus G16 laptop does not give way to any transportation or weight-related screen scratches from carrying the backpack around, so far. You should use 2 wipes each time: one for the computer screen and another for the keyboard surface & exterior. I gently wipe down each key's row and the screen, following up with light-to-moderate use the using of the microfiber cloth to buffing away all the Miracle Wipes' polishing liquid. Cleaning off the laptop equipment's surfaces is a must for the every day use you put it through, and you can use our provided links to take advantage of this opportunity to preserve and feel the fresh technology effect as it was the day you bought it!

I've attempted to install Netrunner 25 Linux but ran into obstacles. I was using the virtualization of VMWare and Virtualbox to attempt at making a GPT disk that will boot off this little disk: the Samsung Extreme 1TB SSD.
Finally at last, trying with VMWare Workstation Pro (a free software) to demonstrate I've installed Linux exclusively to a disk that can boot in the BIOS with the Secure Boot feature turned "DISABLED". I have rebooted at least 45 times now, working with the Linux kernel at 6.14.0, specifically in case not correct the modern drivers for my MediaTek Wifi.
I went for about 4 hours of work trying to get Netrunner 25 to boot and load my wireless.
It needs a compiled Linux kernel with specifics to my wireless card, many .deb files. Maybe I'll automate a way to get this done. It took me several days to understand EFI BIOS and its relation to Grub. Its a Linux party, on my own at age 42 doing my runs against being Not able to install Netrunner 25 "Shockworm". I wanted a pro-grade OS that Netrunner looks like, so I am trying to put the disk's files on the 23GB Linux installation partition of my Extreme SSD.
I've been away for a little bit focused on getting my PC running this exotic Linux -- Netrunner Linux.
So far I am formatting the disk E:\ as "netrunner" isolated from an entire 1 TB Sandisk Extreme SSD (USB 3.0), hosted on my Windows 11 Home machine.
The goal is to partition and set Linux up on the drive using a Virtualbox, since I could not get the Mediatek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 wireless device to connect
in the Netrunner Live USB is what I use to process other items under lsblk(1). "lshw(1)" is a monster sized file of information as well. There was need for chroot. To win with the partition settings you need to make an 8 MB file, unformatted, with boot-grub selected. You'll need a FAT32 partition, 1GB or less, for your EFI boot center motherboard communication in the boot process. You will need to find / -name *.efi and put all of the ones relating to monolithic inside the /boot/grub/EFI at this partition. You make a / boot area for your main disk, and the rest is simple.
Come back later and see it finished! I'll be back to talk about various things that interest, and other things shortly.
Managed to get USB drive recognized by Netrunner's installer disc (ISO), which had to be mounted virtually in Virtualbox
I found out there is no way to make a .efi boot file and loader from the Virtualbox USB (Sandisk Extreme 1TB). I decided I'm going to boot off the drive and load Linux another way, through the system controls I can make a local loader directory and import GRUB decision making to the BIOS area.

This latest computer system is going to be used for adapting within my career background to DevOps (instead of system administrator). Procedures from common use-case examples will aid my path so none can say I didn't know the tools. My purpose is to let others see a glimpse of what I have to go through to nail down a job using a tried/true resume (C.V.) for job seeking. If you are in technology already looking for your next role then this is the place to see. 📑🔖Limitsite.com is about advantages and choices made in the studio of resources among whatever the unexpected is. Meaning, that in that light-to-meaning this site brings out the best of what the unexpected is. I hope to contribute more so you understand what this is about.
Feel free to leave a comment and otherwise, have a nice night.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor can last up to nine hours of real-world use. I got this laptop purchased and it is heading to my dorm at the Cordilleras. I spent a chunk of my SSI, about $2430, to get this laptop. What now remains is about less than $300 of accessories including the Bellroy Transit Backpack, a Kingston USB 3.2 Gen 2 1 Terabyte Thumb Drive, and a Pelican Traveler Laptop Case/Sleeve 16 Inch. I will be covering this laptop's speediness, battery life, and other features, all while having the option to play some games. It is nice that this comes so close to being a desktop replacement without shedding battery life. I am probably going to put Gentoo Linux on this machine. Let's see how fast it compiles and links the libraries.
I used to know how to make a kernel out of Linux's source code. It's good to finally be back at the PC with Windows 11 Pro and 32 GB of RAM. I was considering the Macbook Pro 14inch "M4 Pro" series with 512 GB disk and 24 GB of RAM for $1749, but decided that I like the 12 core AMD processor's efficiency on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16. I plan to use VMWare player w/ Linux and OpenBSD, Docker, and more as we approach DevOps engineer employment in the Silicon Valley area. By having a more mobile computer experience this makes for an easier stride through the employment and living housing that I can go through with my experience. The remainder of my SSI is best spent as a rent/deposit but I can try to think of other things I want, perhaps sometime soon.
One more thing about this, is that it has newer battery technology. It allows a fast charge to 50% in 30 minutes. That, and its effective 9 hour battery life make this machine excellent for work and play. I'm going to be going to school with it too. I'll be here to talk about what I do on this machine later.
