I use Firefox and Ublock, but since recently the damn captcha won't load automatically unless I turn off Ublock, refresh and then 'Get Captcha'. After that I can turn Ublock back on and the captcha load fine for a while whenever lurking here. I couldn't find anything relevant online about this issue, so I was wondering if others have noticed this also.

It doesn't "renew" anything, it literally just disables your post from bumping the thread. What other posts do is completely unaffected by your saged post or lack thereof, someone can always come bump a thread regardless of what you do, nothing is "renewed".

Are these meme "dual mode 1080p + 4k" monitors any good? This also apparently has HDR 1000 and 320hz. For the price, seems a bit too good to be true.

>>108192272
Nah for the price seems about right. 160Hz is kinda low nowadays, 4k 240Hz is common.
>dual mode
Never tried it but sounds like a gimmick. Maybe cool if you want to switch between cinematic single-player games and tryharding at CSGO at low resolution. If you don't care, I'm fairly certain it won't harm the monitor and you can just ignore it.

The main question when buying a monitor is always the panel, because all display technologies are shit. Is the IPS gonna have terrible glow? Is real pixel response time (not the "1ms response time!" marketing stat) fast enough for the refresh rate?
I usually use tftcentral for reviews. The one in your pic looks very similar to one of their recommendations: https://tftcentral.co.uk/recommendations/the-best-recommended-gaming-monitors-2026#27-4k
But they list the 274URDFW model, yours is 274UPDF. I have no idea what the difference is, monitor model names are extremely cancerous. Try doing some research to see if there's any meaningful difference. The URDFW from the tftcentral review goes for about £450 so not a huge difference.

I think maybe that one is MiniLED and yours is just HDR1000 (which is going to have a lot fewer dimming zones, the bare minimum to meet the spec)? If that's the only difference then you can save 50 quid if you don't care about HDR, or spend a bit extra to get a proper miniLED backlight. The important thing is that the panel really is the same between the two, and that they didn't do something like fuck up the firmware on the cheaper model or some shit; again, look it up and see if you can find more info about these specific models.

You would send the data size first, so the receiving end knows when to stop treating the data as data and start interpreting it as commands.
Or just close the socket and reopen it after every transmitted file.

>>108193290
If you want to plug something into an Ethernet port that connects to a Wi-Fi, you need an usual Wi-Fi-router-box-thing. What you do is you go to the box' settings page and configure it as a client bridge instead of a router or an access point, picture relates.
Blog: I used to have that when my phone's hotspot was my only internets and I had a couple of wired computers. Like instead of having to configure both computers to connect wirelessly I could just have the Wi-Fi box do that. And I could place the Wi-Fi box where I usually kept the phone so it was all dandy.
Downside: the wired computers were unaware of the Wi-Fi link so when I walked out of the house with the phone all they could do is observe the gateway lagging out of existence without knowing the physical link is gone.

>>108195643
In theory, yes - external GPUs are possible because the Thunderbolt protocol usually connects internally over PCIe lanes, and there just so happens to be support for bridging an external PCIe device over Thunderbolt.
However, in practice, this would require the desktop's motherboard to act like one of those eGPU adapters, by exposing the GPU over its own Thunderbolt port. I have never heard of this being done, and I would not be surprised if it was a case of "yes, it's possible, if you write your own drivers from scratch to support it".

Claude Code or OpenAI Codex is almost everything you need. You can run them in the background if you just tell them to do some long-running task and tab out of the terminal. Use

git worktree

to have parallel repository checkouts for this.

Claude Code and Codex can also review PRs. Maybe the only other thing worth mentioning is Devin, which generates embeddings of your codebase and is pretty good at code reviews as a result. It's the AI that runs deepwiki.com.

Hey /sqt/, dumb question but I need some insight please:

I got an RTMP server on Debian using the guide below, for use as a quick-and-dirty streaming solution in the house: I'd stream my desktop, window, or game using OBS and anybody on the network can view the stream in VLC. If we need to chat then we simply use Steam, SIP client, or phone call, depending on the situation.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-set-up-your-own-private-rtmp-server-using-nginx.50/

What I want to have is a short looping video with text on it to act as a "front page" when nobody is streaming, so that if we open the stream in VLC then this "front page" would show up instantly instead of waiting for VLC to look for a stream on an empty RTMP server for a few minutes wasting time (also my family isn't tech savvy so the text has instructions on what is happening). Would this be a good idea or not? Is it a strain on the hardware/software to have a video running 24/7, even if it is entirely black with a little bit of white text? Also, how to ensure that this text stream stops when one of us starts streaming to the server?

Alternatively, are there any other better recommendations to fulfill the use case above from the list here? The above solution works but it's kind of sloppy honestly and if there's a more professional option then it would be more appealing for us to use more often.

I need to install W11 on a brand new 1TB NVME drive. How should I partition it?

>>108199911
Depends on usage. You could do separate game and system partitions, if you play a lot of 100+ GB modern games. That could remove the footgun of filling up your system drive with games. It's not really necessary though.

>>108199962

>>108199981
Windows doesn't play super nice with that other than moving where your games install to.
From what I understand you're thinking something like a home partition on Linux.
Unfortunately two things make this difficult: the registry, where a significant amount of configuration is stored, and hardcoded C:\\Users\yourusername in a disturbing amount of Win software.
There might be a way around it that I'm not aware of, but I don't know if you can either mount a separate partition to that path or create something like a symlink to another partition/drive.
I'm more of a Linux guy, so you might want to ask in /fwt/ about that.

How can i set up my younger brothers tablet so that we can see what hes doing, know his login info and remotely manage it? You will understand why if you read the rest. What's bad is that I need him not to know these things are in place.

My much younger (adopted) brother is an absolute menace. He has done some crazy stuff on the internet. Got my parent's raided for receiving bad files on discord. They were after the guy that sent them. Then turned in a guy for making threats and had the FBI show up, but they called first. I wish I was joking and I know that's nuts.

Here's the scene. I am leaving my country and leaving my mother by herself, I had set up a windows 10 laptop for her to watch her shows on Youtube/streaming websites, do some basic word processing and accessing her banking websites. Almost everything she does is browser based. I do not want to leave her with a deprecated OS that will be exposed to shit. I can't install Win 11 on the laptop and even if I could I have had it totally implode on me. I can't have her deal with something like that.

I've been considering Linux and I like Fedora Kinoite, but the 6 month cycle drives me insane. For this reason I have thought about Alma Linux with KDE for the 10 year support cycle and familiarity. I'd use Rustdesk to deal with any problems remotely.

Is this a good idea or should I go with something like Zorin OS which seems to have a 2 year cycle. I do not like Ubuntu in general and have had bad experiences with it before, but it does seem like it could work. I'd use OpenSuse, but that shit won't even install.

The soonest I could be back to physically work on it is probably a year but I don't actually know, so I need something that will keep itself updated and stable for at least that time and hopefully longer.

Any ideas?

>>108201188
Strictly speaking you don't because clients can dream up all kinds of insane rules for what they respond to. If they're all on DHCP, you can pull the DHCP server's lease list.

>>108201208
Well, nmap does it somehow so there's gotta be something.

>>108201242
nmap just brute force pings the IP space, but there's nothing forcing clients to respond to nmap. They can just drop every incoming packet that doesn't meet some complex rule set.

>>108201242
you could maybe use arp requests to exhaustively check the subnet space but it won't work across subnets or on offline devices and there are things that could break it or give you incorrect results. like the other guy said it's generally better to just check what your dhcp server says because that's canonical.

>>108201131
you could just use windows 10 and install ESUs through MAS if this is going to be less than 2.5 years, i believe that's how long it'll continue to get those for.

otherwise just use whatever linux distro emulates a skin she's familiar with if all she's doing is basic browsing/production tasks. zorin for windows, elementary for mac os. the more immediately familiar it is, the less she will come to you asking how to do something.

>>108199911
if you really want to segregate the os you're better off just buying the cheapest adequately-sized sata ssd you can find (250/500gb) and throwing windows on that. i would personally not trust the windows installer to preserve important data on a same-drive partition.

if you feel compelled to do this, note the correct partition layout per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions?view=windows-11 calls for putting any data partitions you have at the very end of the drive; the layout should be system/usp, msr, os, recovery, data

>>108201188
>I know nmap exists but that can do too much
Do too much?
Presumably every device speaks to the router so do what the other anon said and consult the router on the DHCP lease list. Or run a local command:

ip neighbour

>>108201242
No it doesn't.

Separate physical drive doesn't "segregate" anything. That's an old meme that has its roots in legacy BIOS days when boot sectors played a role.

>Is it a strain on the hardware/software to have a video running 24/7, even if it is entirely black with a little bit of white text?
running low resolution low complexity hardware-accelerated video is unlikely to be a substantial strain on your hardware as long as it's actually configured to properly use hardware acceleration.

i don't know enough about the topic to answer your remaining questions.

>>108201350
>Separate physical drive doesn't "segregate" anything
he's talking about wanting to be able to wipe the os without affecting his data. in relation to what he's talking about, having a separate drive would permit this, which is what i meant by "segregate." a separate partition *might* work for this, but again i would not trust the windows installer with important data to this degree.

Is there a way to batch edit shortcuts? I moved all my stuff to a new drive on a new OS and my shortcuts didn't update. All I need to change is the drive letter.

>>108201371
not easily unless someone already wrote a tool to do it for you. .lnk is a binary format, the current specification for it is defined at https://winprotocoldoc.z19.web.core.windows.net/MS-SHLLINK/%5bMS-SHLLINK%5d.pdf and you'd need to program something to parse it if you wanted to change it.

>>108201390
Well shit. Guess I'll just manually fix them one by one then. Thanks anyway.

>>108201404
actually scratch that, quick search shows it might be doable with powershell. i'd look into that more if i were you https://stackoverflow.com/questions/484560/editing-shortcut-lnk-properties-with-powershell

>>108201410
Ah thanks. I'm pretty dumb though, I have no idea what any of this means.

>>108201428
if you aren't already familiar with powershell or willing to spend at least some time figuring out the relevant commands and syntax, it's probably faster to just do it manually.

you might be able to get an llm to write you a script to do it, but i wouldn't recommend it if you aren't at least familiar enough to be able to check the script and make sure it doesn't do something unintended.

How do I find out if a hardware piece or a phone has planned obsolescence and how do I find the ones which don't have them?

>>108201485
it's not like it's a tickbox on a feature list, that's a matter of their intentions and they're not going to broadcast them. you need to use your head and suss it out yourself.

if a device is locked down to the point where people who want to are prevented from maintaining it to a usable state themselves after the manufacturer stops supporting it, it means it's designed to force you to change devices when the manufacturer wants you to. a lot of phones fit into this category.

even then, there are a lot of phones that are designed to force you to switch at end of life but that the community has cracked the protection on so that you can install i.e. lineageos or something similar on. so sometimes even if the manufacturer plans to force you to switch, people find a way around it.

I have my main monitor hooked up to my graphics card via DVI, and a drawing table with a screen connected to my motherboard with HDMI. Throughout three operating systems, it always thinks of my tablet as the main screen and my monitor as the second. Can this be switched at all?

Everything has planned obsolescence built into it. Manufactures always know about how long their products are going to last in regular use. The only way you eliminate planned obsolescence is 100% user serviceable parts and indefinite parts / software support.

For phones the main questions are how many years will it receive OS updates and is the boot loader locked? If it's not a big brand flagship, you're probably not gonna like the answer. iFixit may have information on repairability. May be more pertinent for laptops.

In general just be knowledgeable about the thing you're looking at, like other Anon said.

>>108201522
>a lot of phones fit into this category
All phones fall into this category if you buy into platform attestation for shit like banking apps. Once your OEM software support runs out, you're just waiting for app vendors to drop you.

The 1 and 2 aren't associated with primary and secondary, its just arbitrary labeling
If it ruffles your autism you can potentially change it by doing a full reset of the display device cache with custom resolution utility and plugging the screens in a different order

TTL UARTs aren't literal modems, they're completely digital
dial up modems do deal with serial, in that they're often serial-attached and the signal sent through the modem/phone line is literally modulated serial, but those USB TTL UARTs don't do the modulation bit, so they aren't modems, like you can't attach them to a phone line

>>108203148
>>108203035
-- like, you could use one of these to attach an old serial modem to a modern computer that doesn't have a serial port built in.
one potentially confusing term is that a serial connection between two computers can sometimes be called "null modem", though this just means "direct serial connection without using modems", hence the "null"

>>108202744
yes, they're plug and play. it's one of those generic kinds of devices you can just expect to work, like a mouse or keyboard, there's a standard method for doing serial over usb, just as there is for keyboards, mice, sound, etc. the built in usb serial driver should work with any basic usb serial adapter

Hello I am an idiot. I want to set up a touchscreen monitor to control my media center but I have no idea what the best approach to this would be.

Picture related is a simple illustration of what I have in mind. Do I:
> use a small touchscreen monitor for A and a cheap mini-PC for B (or something similar like a Rasberry Pi or whatever)?
> use a tablet for A and an external storage for B?
> do something else?

I'd just use a tablet for simplicity, but the affordable ones don't have enough storage space to hold my media library. Also portability isn't a concern since it'll always be in the same spot anyway. I don't need performance or anything, as long as I can use a touchscreen to browse my media library and play music and video it's fine.

ccleaner was always mostly snake oil. any kind of "registry cleaner" function in a program is a red flag; your registry does not need "cleaning." running windows disk cleanup as admin will generally get you better and more meaningful results; old windows versions and windows update rollback files can take up substantial amounts of space and disk cleanup will catch those if you run it as admin.

You'd want to run a stress test for longer than five minutes. Let it go for a couple hours possible. I'd also argue that FurMark isn't the most realistic workload. So if you have access to something like 3DMark it might reveal more issues. If the temps are a sudden problem, then maybe driver related if you updated recently?

True. But still better to have it and not use it. Plus even bottom of the barrel chips like the N100 support it. So it's not like it's going to break the bank.

Technology changes. In a few years you barely see them in stores because people don't buy them.

Recently I was checking circumaureal headphones (the ones that cover all your ears) and you can use them both with wire or wireless. When I am at home I prefer wired just to save the battery for then I need it. The same for in-ear headphones, in house I use wired and only use the wireless for the smartphone.

since we're on the topic of earbuds and headhphones and shit, are there earbud (not iem) form factor wired earbuds with proper noise cancelling that aren't absurdly expensive out there? anyone happen to know off the top of your head?

>>108206808
they just experience friction in different ways. tab and enter completion solve a lot of speed problems with terminal and keyboard input, at a higher learning entry cost.
GUI lets you flexibly design around what users want to do most and make it easy to click on, but you'll usually do it by moving the mouse, which is slow compared to hitting a couple keyboard keys that you've got muscle memory for. although of course, often there's keyboard inputs to move around a GUI. so really it's mouse versus keyboard, in a lot of ways.

Works on 4chan or any of its boards' archive sites. The problem with using it on arch.b4k.dev is that the site will block you if you open images too quickly, so the tool needs some configuration to get it to work well. I solved it by downloading an image every 10 seconds which is painfully slow, but still gets the job done.

try restarting, sometimes it needs a restart to load in the repaired files. otherwise no idea. i've seen random issues with the settings app in the past but they were typically fixed with an update at some point.

So I have an antique style desk like pic related

I can't do VESA mounts or anything like that because the edges are shallow and irregular.

Any tips on maximizing desk space and fitting a PC rig on it?

Biggest problem when putting a monitor and keyboard only barely fits and cramped because the desk is not that wide.

How can I maximize the space or add to it?

How is it my ReactOS VM VDI is only ~3GB whereas my Windows XP VM VDI is 7-10?

>I can't do VESA mounts or anything like that because the edges are shallow and irregular.
sure you can just place a 3/4-1 inch piece of wood to thicken or even up the spot where you're placing the mount. you don't even have to nail it or anything just let the grip of the mount lock it into place

>>108208651
Wall mount is always an option.

>>108208684
Or cut down the irregularities, or drill holes in the top. Wood has endless possibilities.

>>108208684
the main desk sides are like half an inch deep so it won't clamp regardless I'm also not allowed to move it from the wall

Updated, rebooted, didn't help. At first I thought it did, but it turned out it was because I hadn't yet started the usual programs I tend to have running at all times. Apparently "The Bat!" was the culprit. Jank piece of shit, I need a new email client.

>>108208717
>wall mount
not allowed to do that as well. it's basically just making the most of the ancient desk lol

>>108206807
i got it for schoolwork but it's even failing at that too. keeps lagging with just word and multiple browser tabs opened while charging. damn, i should've spent my money elsewhere

>>108208931
i find it's rarely worth buying budget computers new, since you can usually find something that performs much better second hand for the money.
that said, i would look into if there's any way to keep it from clocking down so severely while it's plugged in. like check temperatures to ensure it's not thermal throttling, perhaps check if there's any relevant bios options, turn off any fast charging features if applicable, etc.
while it's fanless, it's also a 7W TDP chip, which just wouldn't make much heat even without a fan

>>108208996
>>108208931
maybe even check its' manual to see if it's mentioned

thanks for trying and for your help and suggestions.

When it charges, both fast and slow, it reaches 75 degrees celsius after around 20 minutes. I asked the company behind the laptop if this was normal but they said it was totally normal for a fanless laptop of that power, which is why i asked here, because i was wondering if that reason was legit or not because the only reference to other fanless laptops i have are really old ones that worked fairly well and don't heat that much during charging, and my relative's macbook air, which also works well. the company has tried replacing the motherboard and battery, but it's still the same issue afterwards. i guess that laptop is just badly designed at handling its heat

looks like i should just go get a secondhand laptop from ebay. there's a few fairly cheap ones near me.

>>108209412
>really old ones that worked fairly well
but were lower powered

>>108209412
yea it'll just be thermal throttling. it's a bit tricky to get heat out of an enclosure without a fan, so having no fan at all is a huge disadvantage, even a silent, slow-moving fan would do wonders, which is why i don't personally understand the desire for fanless machines. hell you can have the fan only run when it's hot and be "fanless" just most of the time when you're not pushing it

i thought it being fanless or not wouldn't matter since i would only be doing homework on it but that assumption has bit me in the ass

What website? It is actually asking you not to block their VPN/proxy identifier (mcl.io) and their tracker (spur.us)? Oddly specific. I take it you are not using NoScript?

>>108209485
you didn't do anything wrong, you'd think you couldn't buy a laptop today that can't do that kind of task smoothly

the low end is lower than people might think. i've seen it a few times, people getting like $300 laptops that perform worse than a $100 second hand laptop from 10 years ago. unless you've actually seen someone use one for what you're going to use it for, it's a bit of a risk getting such cheap machines. i'm only assuming the one you got didn't cost much since you clearly weren't looking for something high end

>>108207210
Always helps. Heat is a major enemy of tech.
If you don't need performance, Silent power plan or otherwise limiting max CPU usage will do. It can also potentially improve battery life. Optimizing what runs in the background also helps. There might be services that don't need to be running all the time, it depends on your exact situation. You can web search individual services to find out how critical or not they are.

Earbuds are a bad form factor for noise-cancellation. Just about the worst out there, as far as I know. I strongly recommend sticking to IEMs and large closed-back headphones. Now then, some devices have a mode where they pass external audio through instead of trying to cancel noise. My JBL Vibe 2 has an "ambient mode" where it lets me hear my surroundings 98% as well as having nothing in my ears at all, so I enable that mode when I want to listen to someone clearly or otherwise need to listen to my surroundings. I would not know of anything comparable, though I'm sure that there are big closed-back equivalents of some kind out there.

That depends on the quality of the music being streamed, the quality of the wired headphones/speakers, and the quality of the bluetooth circuitry in both the source and the wireless speaker or headphone. Any of these can be a bottleneck for the rest of the setup, and bluetooth circuitry built into headphones is always junk due to the need to compromise in order to be efficient and compact enough. And the cheaper the headphones or speakers, the more compromised in order to hit those lower price points, too. Everything is fairly nuanced, and I'm probably even over-generalizing, too.

>16 inch macbook pro
Why, isn't it too heavy?

>>108209674
NTA my guess is
MBA isn't about performance, so a smaller lighter machine is fine
if you want a MBP you probably want better performance than an air, the bigger pros have better cooling systems, you probably also want the extra screen space if you plan on using the machine as a workhorse

>>108209973
Well yes, but I feel like the better cooling system is not worth it being rather heavy, unless you're using the Mx Max chip

>>108209674
then you get 13 inch macbook air

>>108210326
But what about MBP? I thought 16" was to heavy and large, is that not the case?

>>108210332
it's like 2.2kg

>>108208439
Have you tried unblocking those two sites specifically?
You can't fix it while keeping them blocked afaik

>>108210341
And that's pretty heavy

>>108210350
so get an air if 2kg is too heavy for you

>>108210355
But the 14" MBP isn't heavy, so why would I get MBA over it?

>>108205496
>what to choose?
>>108210385
>also it has to be 14 inch so it's not too heavy, I need it to be light but I also need the performance of the pro even if it's not with the best cooling

why are you even asking the question if you already know exactly what you want

>>108210409
What? I asked why did some anon recommend the 16" MBP over the 14" MBP. The MBA I'm not considering at all and never considered it, but I cannot decide on the 14" or 16" question, with the Mx Pro chip. I'm not seeking the absolute max performance, but I don't actually know if the 16" is actually too large or not. The only reference I have is a 1.6 kg 15.3" laptop, which feels quite large, I wouldn't call it too heavy, but I wouldn't mind a lighter laptop. The choice is too difficult

Add an IMAGE SEQUENCE in the project. It lets you adjust the frame timing and everything.

is there a camera app on android that allows me to take photos in 4:3 vertically? normally they end up in 3:4 aspect ratio and I don't want people to think I'm taking a photo when I hold phone horizontally.

How do I uninstall System32 on Windows 11 for lulz

my cpu fans keep REVVING UP REEEEE at max speed when I start my pc and they don't stop, have to reboot it a couple of times in order for it to work properly.
my guess is that it's something to do with POST and that it's generally cold this time of year (I keep my windows open because I no longer care any more) any idea what the problem could be?

iems are a nonstarter for me unfortunately, if i was going to go to something else it'd probably be on-ear headphones. thank you, though

Do they make devices specifically for lifting up a corner of a GPU and preventing it from sagging? Like, a little plastic thing with a mechanism for adjusting its own height, with rubber bits at the top and bottom to keep it in place? Something like that?

>>108212595
Nvm figured it out

Why do pictures taken with a digital camera, even one from 20 years ago, look more "real" and the pictures taken with most android smartphones? Even if both take jpg images, I think there's some weird compression and artifacting going on with phones

>>108212672
any good dslr even from ages ago is going to look better because it's a single-use product designed for that specific use case

I made a test activating the ad blocker again and I can post again. Now I have doubts if it was a problem with the ad blocker or another thing. If it is working now with ad blocker I guess it was something else.

>>108212672
There's a lot more image processing going on with the phones because they don't have the physical depth for naturally good optics.

Is there any way to DIY a network speaker like the Amazon Echo/Pop or pricey-as-fuck Sonos?
So far most I've ever seen is by using a Raspberry Pi and a speaker but there's no consensus on how to actually make one because it's surprisingly a niche topic. Seems people would rather consoom, or it's actually difficult to DIY and get satisfactory results.
I only need for the speaker function in order to play music or sound effects through Home Assistant (doorbell/alarm/notification). I don't need it to have microphone or AI or cloud or any of that spyware nonsense.

Phones take numerous pics with numerous different cameras and put it all thru some software hokus pokus. The plain old digital camera simply takes one picture with its single camera module.
Took picrel with an Android phone and it looks unnatural, everything here is way more gray in real life.

How do cooling systems work in smartphones, in detail? So presumably there's the SoC package itself, then there's some thermal interface material on top of the SoC package, what's next? What is the full "thermal path" in the smartphone? What kind of components and materials are used? Obviously the heat eventually ends up being dissipated to the chassis, but how exactly does it all work internally? I can't find an explanation anywhere.

>>108213297
pipewire has the functionality built in for network stuff somewhere that i'm not recalling.
the hardware is simple, software integration is rarely simple.
if you can find libraries or programs that can find linux support for home assistant, you're going to be like 90% of the way there.

>>108213466
i think it's not generally detailed because it's just not very complicated.
SoC -> thermal paste -> some piece of copper -> everywhere else
even in laptops or desktops, the only complications are that there's a fan on one end and you have to have airflow somewhere.

>>108212595
some cases come with them, but zip cording a piece of plastic will do the same job.
>>108212616
fuck you

>>108213546
Well the part I'm curious about is how do they move the heat into the chassis itself? Is there a heat pipe involved? And most importantly, how does the heat pipe (or whatever) connect to the chassis so that it actually transfers the heat? I guess the same goes for laptops with fans, how does the heat pipe connect to the heat sink, which the fan works with?

>>108213687
heat pipe is welded to heat sink, but everything else is simply through contact. plastic or metal to metal, air to heat fins. some phones have heat pipes, and those often have 'vapor chambers' that have some liquid that changes phases to (dubiously) help the speed of heat transfer.

>>108214109
But how does the heat spreader / heat pipe / whatever touch the body/chassis of the phone / fanless laptop to transfer heat to the body/chassis itself in phones and fanless laptops (e.g. MacBook Air)? That's the part I don't understand and videos of phone and MacBook Air teardowns didn't help me at all. In the MacBook Air case, I can only guess that the bottom cover of the laptop is touching the logic board's shield tightly somehow, otherwise I don't understand how does the heat travel from that shield to the chassis.

>>108214233
because it's that simple.

>>108214109
heat pipes always have a vapour chamber, that's what makes it a heatpipe rather than just a copper pipe, and there's nothing dubious about their performance
