I looked into the settings, located and turned on hardware acceleration. I tried watching a show this morning and it worked. I left the show going while I did some chores and, unfortunately, when I came back to it the program was locked up. I'll try it again tonight (and look into what 'hardware acceleration' means ) :-)

Thanks!

    Thanks for your thoughts, but I'm sorry I am a noob, and I don't understand most of your comments.

    I'm streaming shows on Stremio, I select 1080p feeds and each has latency. I checked the System Monitor and the CPU is pegged at 100%. As I understand it the graphics are integrated with the CPU. My hope was that if I got a decent video card (such as AMD Radeon RX 550) that would take enough of the load to eliminate the lag. Is this a good approach or is this pc just too old?

    SSD Drive Problem (lemmy.world)
     

    I have a new WD Blue 1TB ssd hard drive that doesn't want to get formatted or mounted. When I attach the drive via USB I get an error message of:

    Unable to Mount 1.0 Tb volume
An operation is already pending

    Eventually I get:

    Unable to Mount 1.0 Tb volume
timeout was reached

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T570 running Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base. "GParted" and "Disks" don't see the drive. Is there something I can do to access the disc or is it toast?

    I'm using Linux Mint for my daily driver for about 5 years. It works great with no ads!! I'm not a gamer and Libre Office works well for me so no significant problems with software. I also do some basic python programming on it. The more complex command line stuff takes a while to figure out but Mint has been great!

    Read Only File System (lemmy.world)
     

    Will my OS break if I make it the system Read Only? I am installing a raspberry pi 4 (Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)) in my car and read on Lemmy that if I make the system files Read Only my system won't get corrupt when power is abruptly turned off. I will leave the 'home' directory read-write. I realize I will have to remove the drive and run updates regularly.

    Open Neutral? (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm a helper and worked with an old time electrician and he did something a year ago that still troubles me. We wired a 50 amp 220 volt circuit for some heat pumps. he brought the wires into the panel, hooked them to ground and the breaker and left the white wire capped with a wire nut. He told me it will work fine and forget about it. Did we leave somebody with an open neutral? Is the ground wire the neutral now? Should I try and go back and fix this?
