• What to do with obsolete iMacs and MacBooks

  As a retro tech enthusiast I beg of you not to trash them. Put them on facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, whatever. Nerds like me will take them off your hands happily, and regular people can still use them for daily tasks. I'm typing this out on a 2014 macbook pro, and I use a 2011 imac for any fun side projects I like doing so I don't mess up my main PC. You can also donate them to goodwill or salvation...

• Cannot extend partition after shrinking it

• Extend c: drive partition in windows 10

  In order to extend a partition, the unallocated space must immediately follow the partition. If there's something between the partition and the unallocated space, then you'll need to use a more sophisticated partition manager to rearrange things. GParted can do this, for example. I think Macrium Reflect can do this, too, though I usually use it for cloning. Source: about 1 year ago

• My Drive disappeared and is now only 200gb instead of 1tb

  I'd suggest you create a bootable USB drive with GParted on it, and boot that up to see if that recognizes the missing storage space on your drive. GParted is an awesome tool which has saved me many times when I have encountered problems with storage devices. I don't know why, but it always seems to be able to access drives when Windows' built-in tools fails. If GParted can't find your missing storage space, I'd... Source: about 1 year ago

  Use an offline partition editor like GPartEd ( https://gparted.org/ ) to resize the partitions. Basically you make a bootable USB with GPartEd, boot it and you can modify the system partitions that are normally locked when the system is in use. Source: over 1 year ago

  Windows cannot natively see ext partitions, so try using a partition manager like THIS one. I've had a lot of luck with this one. You may want to check out gParted, it is a very powerful partitioning software that was ported from Linux to Windows and other platforms. Hope this helps bro. Source: over 1 year ago

• Can I use a wireless kbm in windows on the steam deck?

  Tbh, you sound like me the first time I tried Linux--I was so afraid to modify the hard drive on my Windows (XP--just to date this anecdote) laptop I tried running Fedora on an external hard drive--like, one of those Western Digital towers that go to sleep when they haven't been used for a minute. What an awful experience that was. Didn't take me long to work up the guts to fire up GParted and just resize my... Source: over 1 year ago
