People who got a degree in VCR repair: how'd your life go afterwards? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

95% of VCR repair is changing belts and cleaning heads/pinch rollers. I should hit up my local library. Those are the causes I like donating my time to.

"blur nsfw", "auto expand" and "open in a new tab" settings won't stay. (beehaw.org)
 

If I check any of those selections, click save, and then refresh the page, they are unchecked again. But all the other settings retain their status.

Any tips/tricks for cloning an existing operating system (Win10) to run in a VM? (beehaw.org)
 

I have a laptop with obsolete, licensed diagnostic software that I use on old equipment still in service. I've kept it alive longer than it should have been, but it's only a matter time before a disk or mobo failure puts me in a bad spot.

I'd like to make a clone of the current OS (Windows 10) as-is that could be run in VirtualBox or some other VM as a backup. Is it as simple as making a disk image with DD and then loading that up in VirtualBox? I'm sure it's not, but what am I overlooking? Or what other software would be better to use?

I'm fairly computer literate, but a mechanic by trade; So, not an expert.

Thanks for any help.
