“Apple’s Smartphone War” yawn. Now that’s a click ait title.

As others have said, it’s probably overheating.

That’s a mini, and likely doesn’t have any fans at all (or something perfunctory), so probably won’t handle being run at high cpu for more than a few minutes.

I currently have a small-form-factor pc with the same issue - drive and general box temps were high (drive was 110f, continuous, within range but on the edge). It would randomly reboot.

Replacing the paste on the cpu cooler helped a lot (no more random reboots), but adding a compressor-type fan dropped box temps (and more importantly drive temps), down to room temp.

I think the best you may be able to do is add an external compressor fan with some duct tape.

I play things like solitaire, Spades, etc.

The most intense thing I’ll play is something like Ticket to Ride. I don’t enjoy action games on these screens with the on-screen controls.

Fireproof safes are for paper, not drives or tape.

They work by having a material in the walls that breaks down from heat, keeping the interior cool enough for paper.

I wouldn’t trust that without some kind of testing.

Crash plan used to have a “backup to your friends” solution. They ended it, dammit

Women are more horny on their period.

There isn’t any evidence to support this

Clearly this question hasn’t been asked of a bunch of women, or the research hasn’t been done.

Is it a given? An absolute? Probably not. But also look at other mammals.

If it’s bootloader unlockable, at least we’ll be able to flash a rom like Lineage.

I could go for one of these at $200, so maybe as a second-hand device in a couple years, if I can flash Lineage.

7zip is an archive format - creating an iso requires the raw files (unless you have 7zip installed in the VM to extract the zip file).

All that is unnecessary though, just enable a shared folder via the VM software (I assume they all do it now, VMware has had this feature forever). This isn’t a network share, it’s a virtual network share that only exists within VMware for that specific VM, and by default it’s read only.

Or put the files on a thumb drive, and connect that thumb drive to the VM.

Or enable networking on the VM, copy the files in, then disable the network card in the VM.

Getting the files in doesn’t require any special security, it’s when you’re executing the files that the VM needs to be isolated.

VMware’s shared folders is secure - by default it’s read-only, and it’s only visible to the specific VM on which it’s configured.

The client OS doesn’t even need a network card, VMware emulates the network just for the shared folder.

I assume other virtualization tools have a similar feature.

What do you mean set it up from the installer?

It’s there, by default. You don’t have to set it up. If you want it to behave a certain way, it’s a few clicks. If you wanted, you could script it via powershell, command line (batch), or a reg file.

I’ve never met anyone who’s changed the defaults, other than me, and I’ve been supporting Windows since before it was what most people know as Windows (ever seen Windows 1?)

I dunno, I’ve never head anyone evangelize Windows.

Apple, yes. But honestly Linux users seem to have overtaken Apple users with their evangelizing.

Ah, unbound has the root DNS servers hard coded. That’s a significant point.

Any reason you couldn’t do the same with any other DNS server such as PiHole?

I’m really trying to understand why I’d run two DNS servers in serial, instead of one. All this sounds like it’s just a different config that (in the case of unbound) has been built in - is there something else I’m missing that unbound does differently?

Why couldn’t you just config the TLD’s as your upstream DNS in whatever local DNS server? Isn’t that what enterprises do?

Thanks for the clarification.

How is that different than unbound? Isn’t it also forwarding requests?

Oh, you’re using Sandbox - yea, I could see certain checks failing as the app will be intentionally prevented from accessing certain things to be sandboxed.

Sandbox isn’t the same as a VM.

You can run VirtualBox, but it’s performance is notably less than VMware, and the latest version of VMware Workstation is free once again.

I don’t recall if it was in a VM or not, it doesn’t really matter. A VM is just a logical system, the OS runs the same as it would on bare hardware (for things like this).

I suspect what I see in Windows is a result of devs designing for an prior version of Windows, and some system call returns differently enough in a newer version. The times I’ve seen it, the apps work fine, which makes me thing it’s a validation that fails.

No reason it shouldn’t work.

Whats your VM software, what’s the host and (especially) the guest OS?

I’ve seen this error with an app in Windows, while running it in an admin account, haha. No idea what these app devs are doing to cause these messages.

Keep in mind under Linux, distros today often don’t setup the first user as root, but as a limited account (there’s a separate root account with it’s own password).

Tailscale has the Funnel feature too, which puts the endpoint on Tailscale’s servers.

You could do both - Funnel for people who you don’t want to walk through setting up a client, and use the client for those who you’re willing to put the effort into.

Meh, I won’t expose ports anymore - last time I did I had someone hammering on it hard enough to slow my consumer router.

I closed the port and would still have someone hammer it occasionally for months, hoping the port was still open.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. This is good info to have in here in general.

So unbound by default discovers other DNS servers, if I’m understanding that correctly. I’ve never used it, does it not use your ISP’s DNS by default, or does that depend on user config?

What if your PiHole is configured to use other than your ISP’s DNS?

Yea, that happened.
