[KDE] Oxygen desktop while my ThinkPad is out of action in c/unixporn@lemmy.ml
[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was just the Qt theme, but I could be wrong.

I'll give it a go! Is there a GTK theme that goes well with it?

Linux phones are cool, but not ready for general use yet... unless that's changed recently, in which case I'll look into buying a PinePhone.

On desktop, I use Debian and FreeBSD.

You'll be able to sideload. The mandate includes the EEA (which includes Switzerland), as well as the EU.

[T400] Not booting, lights flickering (sopuli.xyz)

We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first.

I entered my geli(8) password and FreeBSD began to load, then the screen and status LEDs began to flicker rapidly. I tried holding the power button, but for the first time it didn't do anything, so I removed the battery.

When I turned it back on again, it didn't even show the ThinkPad boot screen; it just sat there flickering.

I have opened the case up and looked inside. I hve checked the RAM, the CPU, the SSD: even the DVD drive; and everything seems fine, yet the problem still persists.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or is my laptop now borked? Thanks!

Thanks! The last one won't work, since it'll be all MicroG'ed, but those are still some great counterarguments.

To cut a long story short, it's 2.

So, I'm 17 and my Dad is an Apple fanboy. He started using Macs back in the '90s, and he's always been using their stuff. Over the years, he's managed to get my mum and her parents to ditch Android, and his parents to move on from their RAZRs. Now that everyone has iPhones, I have no hand-me-down routes. I have asked to get an Android, using my own money that I earned, but he always brings up the same arguments:

"Androids are inherently less secure than iPhones"

"We all use iPhones"

"Apple's proprietary ecosystem just works"

"I had an Android once. Once."

"Are you just trying to stop the Find My tracking? What if I need to find you?"

That last one could easily be misinterpreted. It's an emergency thing; he's not spying or anything. Don't worry.

I have an old Android in a drawer somewhere, but it's running 4.4, it isn't supported by any ROMs, and the battery barely lasts half an hour, so there's no point in trying to get it to work.

I'll also be going to university this year, so I should be able to get a cheap Pixel on eBay and flash GrapheneOS onto it soon enough.

Securing Bluetooth Headphones (sopuli.xyz)
 

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/8117983

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing Free Bird.

It was a bit funny, but I don't want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)?

The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don't know if this can be used to flash firmware.

If there's already a comment telling me to "just use wired" or something, please don't tell me again. It's the best solution, but my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).

Thanks!
