Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ES

I just did a "poor man's" repair to my laptop's keyboard.

Some keys were no longer responding normally to key presses. "R" was the worst.

I pulled the "R" keycap off the keyboard. I cleaned the switch underneath and put it back, but it was still not working well. If I tapped the switch directly without the keycap, it worked fine. I figured tolerances must have gone off somewhere, so I slapped 4 layers of masking tape under the keycap. It works much better now. I also did the "E". I have other keys to do, but I'm taking a break from the repair to consider my options, and see whether what I've done holds up.

I do welcome advice regarding the use of alternative material rather than masking tape for this fix.

I used this article:

ifixit.com/Troubleshooting/Del

And this video:

from @iFixit to have an idea of what it would entail.

My laptop is a Dell XPS 15 9530.

Linux 6.15 will support ASUS Zenbook A14

ASUS Zenbook A14 is an ARM64-based laptop that uses the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon X chipset (either X1-26-100 or X1P-42-100 with 45 TOPS). ASUS considers it as a Copilot+ PC that weighs under 1 kg and promises up to 32 hours of battery life. The laptop features a 1920×1200 14-inch OLED display, 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512 GB or 1 TB of NVMe storage. It runs Windows 11 as a primary operating system.

As for the chassis, the Ceraluminum chassis is a military-grade US MIL-STD 810H standard to ensure that your laptop is the toughest. Right now, it only supports Windows, but open source developers are working towards opening support for this laptop to run Linux efficiently.

Linux 6.15 ensures that this happens by adding support for this laptop. Right now, support is similar to other Snapdragon X1-based laptops, which means that the following features are not expected to work: (listed below is the abovementioned laptop in this case)

  • Audio (Speakers/microphones/headphone jack)
  • Camera (OmniVision OV02C10)
  • HDMI (Parade PS185HDM)
  • EC

The following features have been added to support said laptop as of this patch series:

  • Keyboard
  • Touchpad
  • NVME
  • Lid switch
  • Camera LED
  • eDP (FHD OLED, SDC420D) with brightness control
  • Bluetooth, WiFi (WCN6855)
  • USB Type-A port
  • USB Type-C ports in USB2/USB3/DP (both orientations)
  • aDSP/cDPS firmware loading, battery info
  • Sleep/suspend, nothing visibly broken on resume

However, the key differences were:

  • Wifi/Bluetooth combo being Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 on UX3407QA and Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 on UX3407RA
  • USB Type-C retimers are Parade PS8833, appear to behave identical to Parade PS8830
  • gpio90 is TZ protected

However, those additions are currently under review and will land to the main Linux 6.15 branch once accepted.

One of the reasons I still enjoy using my 2013 17" #Alienware #laptop (4 batteries later.. getting hard to find; and now running linux) is that - besides being an absolute unit - it has a FULL 101+ fullsize #keyboard. No keys with 5 overloads, no half-size/smished key bullshit, full cursor-t, numpad.

The (otherwise very nice) super slim MSI from work I'm using now has an undersized `Shift` key and where I put my pinky to `Shift` ends up giving me a capital `Z` which is super annoying.

I know nothing about #hdr, but thanks to #gnome48 I now have the ability to enable it for both my #workstation display (ASUS VP32UQ) and my #laptop (ThinkPad Z16 AMD).
I don't play games and use my computers for #music production, #graphic design, #video editing and so on.
So far I've noticed that with HDR turned on, everything looks a little more lifeless and brighter, maybe less contrasty. Is this the idea and does HDR make sense for my use case?

Bonjour,
j'ai une amie qui a besoin d'un #ordinateur #portable, pour son boulot. C'est pour faire, de la suite bureautique, du web. Le truc c'est qu'il faudrait un #ordi léger genre avec écran 15 voir même 13 pouces, qui soit un minimum pérenne et avec une puissance cpu ram correcte.

Ça fait longtemps que je ne suis plus l'évolution des constructeurs.

Les Asus autour de moi tombent en rade souvent. Avez vous des conseils de modèles de #laptop (autour de 1000-1500€)
merci pour votre aide!

Ein französischer #Forscher wurde bei der Einreise in die #USA abgewiesen, weil er in privaten Nachrichten Kritik an der Trump-Regierung geäußert hatte.

Laut Berichten wurden sein #Laptop und #Handy durchsucht, bevor er zurückgeschickt wurde.

Die französische Regierung äußerte Besorgnis über den Vorfall und betonte die Bedeutung der #Meinungsfreiheit und akademischen #Freiheit.

Schüler und Schülerinnen des St. Hildegardis-Gymnasium Duisburg besuchten diese Jahr wieder das Hope College in Gomoa Fetteh, Ghana.
Dabei wurden 14 Laptops an die Schule überreicht und die SchülerInnen geschult. Jeder Laptop verfügt über 300 freie Lern- und Office-Programme sowie eine riesige Offline-Bibliothek in Englisch. Vielen Dank.

Die ghanaischen Schüler tragen türkisfarbene T-Shirts. In einem großen Klassenraum stehen Tische als Inseln zusammengestellt. Darauf stehen jeweils einige aufgeklappte Laptops. Die Schüler sitzen in Gruppen davor und lernen oder erhalten eine Schulung und Tipps durch die deutsche Schülergruppe.

I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.

I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.

Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.

Today was enough, and I'm taking control.

Let's see how this experiment goes.

Hm.

"3. Now start your notebook and immediately press ESC, F7, F10 or F11 (varies depending on the device) repeatedly until the boot menu opens where you now select your USB stick with the arrow keys and confirm with the Enter key."

After trying the Fn keys first (of course) I try ESC and land in... not the boot menu.

Instead I'm met with a "grub> " prompt.

None of the available commands seem to know or care about booting from a USB device.
