I plugged my external hard drive from my ps5 to my laptop to try and download some games to it because my laptop doesn't have alot of space, the computer wasn't detecting it so I put it back into my ps5 and now it's sayin "USB drive's file system is unsupported" im panicking, did I just lose all my games on my external hardive? Please someone help me fix this

I had Windows computers from early childhood. We were a pretty poor family, so we didn't get internet until the mid 2000's, but I used to play Age of Empires on 95 and eventually XP.

By the time I got to high school and bought my own laptop, it had to be Windows 7. Nearly a decade later and I'm still using (mostly) the same Windows 7 laptop, because I managed to find an antivirus which allowed me to configure the Windows updates as 'suspicious' so I'd never be required to install them. This has caused a grand total of 0 issues and is honestly the only reason it's stayed running. I've also never had any viruses etc, I get my laptop checked by the tech guys at work and have a few different programs I use to keep it clean also. The funny thing is all of my friends who updated to the newer Windows have had issues with viruses, adware, etc...

Then I took it in to a store for a replacement graphics card and they did a backup and factory reset. This was right before Windows 10. When Windows 10 came out... Jesus Christ. It was torture. I would be writing an essay and have fifteen popups to install Windows 10 within the first paragraph. I would then go to save it, only to have the save button converted- subtly, with tiny disclosure text underneath- to an install for Windows 10.

The giant, fullscreen ads mid-video that have the (X) hidden away in the 'agree to sign away your privacy' text. The constant harassment, with fake messages, spam emails, redirecting URLs to downloads for Windows 10... Now that my laptop was violated and I could no longer reject the 'updates' my laptop started to slow down dramatically. It also gave 0 fucks about my user satisfaction, about actually being able to use the PC I paid for. Instead it would restart whenever it felt like to spend up to three hours installing bullshit, then be ridiculously slow because it had 'updated' to a new search engine which spammed Windows 10 at me. This was beyond ridiculous, my OS had literally become malware.

Well, they've stopped doing that stuff now. Now I just have to deal with the stupid forced 'upgrade' to Windows 8, because while I could reject Windows 10 if I was adamant enough, avoided enough ridiculous pop ups (including some that would have- just like the ones on porn sites- fake [x] symbols that really took you to the download page) and was constantly vigilant. Ok, fine, I have stupid tiles and a crappy UI now, but at least it still works.

Unfortunately our PC just doesn't. This thing is on Windows 10 and it's like cancer to our computing needs. It constantly restarts automatically at random intervals, completely ignoring the timer which says to do it at say Tuesday 3am. Instead it will see I'm editing photos with an unsaved document open and go "ah, well, time to install that update!" Of course half the time those things are recoverable. The other half, they're not, because instead it's 'streamlined' my apps or some shit.

This isn't to mention the privacy invading search tracking for advertisements, the frankly retarded page of tiles, the fact that searches of the PC no longer work properly- it ignores most files now, go ahead and try it yourself- the fact that start menu no longer counts as a folder and thus can't have things dragged into or off it... This has got to be the single worst interface I've ever used.

Oh, of course the PC is super vulnerable to viruses as well because... it's on Windows 10 and Windows apparently feels automatically switching off the antivirus is a good strategy.

Honestly this is actually like having a virus more than an OS. I would not be surprised if it was a virus, but the work computers are the same on Windows 10 so... I guess not.

So now I'm all Mac. I just wanted to share this with anyone: If you're thinking of going Windows, don't. They're stupidly vulnerable and give 0 fucks about your user experience, safety, satisfaction etc. They just care about getting more info to sell to their associates, because yes, they monitor and share everything now. Look it up if you don't believe me. It was in your Windows 10 ToS. I've also lost $100's worth of documents due to the stupid "OH YOU WERE STILL WRITING SORRY LOL WANTED NEW UPDATE TO SLOW COMPUTER DOWN MORE HAHA!" moments and even with 16 gig of brand new RAM and a terrabyte of memory free, the five-year old Windows 10 PC is slower than my second-hand, 350 gig 8gb ram mac. Way slower.

Is there actually any benefits to Windows over Apple now? Genuinely curious.

Okay, so for hours now, i've been trying to download Silverlight 3 from various links to fix my netflix problem. HOWEVER, all of the links i trust, ultimately lead to microsoft websites and not one of my three browsers will take me there. It's all variations of "server not found" and etc. depending on the browser i try. I've got Chrome, Firefox, and IE and not a single goddamn one will let me at it. I'm running one of the later windows on an older Dell. please, for the love of god, help me out with this shit.

I apologize in advance if there is a more appropriate sub to post to, i wasn't sure and will gladly redirect if need be.

EDIT: Grammar,spelling, etc. i'm livid right now

I'm currently serving in the army. It's compulsory here. As I'm past the basic training I have some free time now. I was planning to start following python and/or some other language tutorials during that time so I wouldn't waste the whole year but it turns out we're not allowed to use our laptops. But I can use my android phone. So what are some useful or essential books that I would benefit from reading without any or minimal practice. System administrating, security, networks... anything.

Yellow + Green + Grey +Blue

You can't put the yellow, the blue, green and the grey together at the same time because its 3dimensional.

You can put green grey, but if you blended in yellow and blue aswell the color wouldn't be the same, because its a yellowed green and blued green at once with a grey.

The other is:

Black marroon + White Purple

Or white marroon + black purple

These two colors are reverse from each other, but you can't actually put brightness with a darkness of one color and another of opposite ends of the spectrum together, because it wouldn't make the same color as grey either, since it would make a marroon purple which was darkened and lightened, not same brightness mixed with the same brightness, because it would be dependent on how white or how black somewhere else on the grey in a color that you can't make from maroon or purple anyways, because how do you blend maroon with purple if one is at the top of the tool and the other is at the bottom because theirs no link between them.

You can't make these colors on a computer because their on exact opposite ends of the spectrum and model of color made by science, since theirs no option for blending those colors in a computer because the colors aren't mappable on a usual art programs tool because you can't blend left and right sides or top and bottom across a third dimension of color on the tool just 2 dimensionally across 2 directions.

However I'm guessing even then if you somehow made a 3d color tool, a 4 dimensional model of colorblending you would have even more colors blendable that you cannot do with a 2 or 3 dimensional color blending tool based off where the colors don't actually collide in 3d.

Because regretably I think those colors on the end of the extremes like the above two which are the side and forwards backwards orient edges of a 3d shape are not reachable without somehow wrapping the barrier of those two colors into a new direction every time that blends edge was never reached into more specification that is not actually reachable otherwise. But the proposition would be more color which would further improve graphical capability.

I just can't even get a shader to work myself personally. So I'll let someone else try to figure that out but you'd have to somehow make the color spectrum 3dimensional and i don't even know if thats a hardware or software problem. Just cause I think its an issue with the 255 model used.

This might be why videogame colors even high resolution don't look realistically colored like real 3d life, cause your missing the third dimension of color.

Edit:

Here is a link to my random unrelated reddit where I posted a picture that blended the colors using translucent cups that make the colors that are noticeably nowhere in screens except for photography., because they're all blended off the spectrum you can normally get to. Although their noticeably just more realistically colored then others.

All I have is some Sata II drives, circa 2010 around 500GB in size, so I need everything right down to the case and PSU. I also have a 22" Samsung monitor with 1920 x 1080 resolution, so not planning to replace that. And I have a Cyborg RAT 9, so ok for mouse too. The system is only ever going to be used for games, I have a MB Pro for business, so it just needs to be unashamedly quick.
