qBT total size vs downloaded mismatch

Booting from M.2 on HP EB 840 G2
Anyone have experience getting an HP EliteBook 840 G2 to boot from M.2? There’s only one setting in BIOS to enable it, and it’s enabled by default. Latest BIOS update. It’s in the boot order. It’s even seen when pressing F9 for boot options. I see MX23 but no grub (under legacy) or EFI files found in the ESP partition...
[SOLVED-sort of] GPU only works in x4 slot on HP ED 800 G3 SFF
spoilerI very limited as to what computer hardware I have access to in where I live (not the USA), but I managed to get my hands on a used HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF and waited months for an AMD FX 6400 Low Profile to arrive. Now I am having trouble with this card. I know the reviews state that the card can’t take advantage of my...

Tips for falljng back to sleep
I wake up at 3am to 4am daily as a neighbor makes noise walking their dog. This cannot be helped. Once I am awake, my mind won’t stop going over details about everything from the mundane to the critical. Often, I am able to fall asleep again after three or more hours of wakefulness, but only minutes before I have to wake for...
[Solved] Is the 'trending' section of 'search' an app or lemmy suggestion?
I decided to check a few of the trending communities suggested on the search tab, but they’re all new communities with one or none subscribers and little to no content. How is that trending? Is Lemmy or voyager suggesting these to me?...
YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams
For the past two years, legitimate job postings on Indeed and Glassdoor have been replaced by scams. If you’re tricked, the scammers aren’t satisfied with your contact info in your CV, they reach out via email to request that you connect on an encrypted messenger app where they can privately scam you out of thousands in...
Can I infer a breach of Epic Games payment systems?
I use Privacy cards for the majority of online commerce. If you aren’t familiar with them, they generate one-off card numbers that obfuscate your financial details and become locked to the merchant of first use. They also can create single-use cards that deactivate after the first charge....

Comment voting buttons too small
I’m enjoying my first month of Voyager app compared to Jerboa, but I have a few issues. I prefer a small phone (Pixel 3), but that means the separate up/down vote buttons on posts are a small target to hit. I often end up collapsing the comments instead of voting. I see the tendency for the community to respond with, “just...

YouTube Ad-Blocker policy - Can it be explained by ad revenue numbers?
First, a disclaimer: I’m no expert, and I only know what is on these documents I linked. I haven’t read in-depth reporting by real investigative journalists, nor any reporting sourced or quoted from YT insiders (When I see articles about the ad-blocking, I knock wood that SmartTube is still working and keep scrolling, keen...
