Makes sense, especially with all the tech bros racing to enshittify the world.

My dad gave me a nice audio set including a pair of speakers, a Rotel power amp, and a Rotel amp that I use as a pre-amp.
This thing sounds wonderful. The problem was, I only got a Thinkpad to drive it. Now, Thinkpads may have shitty speakers, but they are by no means bad audio device. That HD audio still does the job well enough for most case.
But this is not most case. For my case, I wanted something more, without shedding the convenience of internet. Sadly, a desktop PC is not an option, due to some constraints.
So I got myself a USB soundblaster. This thing sounds phenomenal! And I only had to plug it in. My only complaint is that the volume knob does not work.
It always makes me wonder: what exactly do they have to gain pushing AI to everything? Like, what's the angle here?
Yes it is!
Lmao, the place I was at is actually called (translated) A Thousand Doors. They don't literally have that many, but there are plenty of other doors not covered.
As someone who's into composting:
Some maggots (specifically of black soldier flies) can literally climb out of their buckets.
I guess not.
Most default setup would have plymouth. I did spent a moment of frustration on it. That's why I include this part.
If you don't think you need it, then just do the first part. If stuff goes wrong, check out my note, then do the second part.
Funny you asked. I was splicing coax cables for one of my projects.
There are a few layers in that coax cable that are two conduits sandwiched in a bunch of insulators. You'll need a sharp precision knife like x-acto, some solder, as well as a pair of steady hands. Some clips to hold the cable ends together can go a long way.
What do you mean by volume and not weight? Isn't water density 1 g/ml anyway?
How much would you put in a single serving, and how much would you dilute it?
Thought it's just FM on the 2m
Hello good folks in the Lemmy Thinkpad community!
I have recently built a T420 from parts. Things have been running well. Since it's mostly from scraps, it's far from perfect, but it works.
One of my pet peeves is some discoloration along the edges and corners of the top cover. I am guessing this is the part where the paint got worn off from bumps and frictions. Is there a way to restore it? I honestly don't care about the rubberized coating, but having that consistent matte black would be really great.
I was thinking of that plastic model paint. Would it work well?
Also, the back part of magnesium chassis that's supposed to be painted black seems to have its bare color exposed.

Sounds about right. It's supposed to be some kind of USB button input. But it seems only the audio device part is working.
I tried to detect button input, but it doesn't seem to go thru in any way. I'm currently using Linux Mint on that (LMDE 7 to be exact). Haven't tried using other setup.
It doesn't bother me that much tho. The laptop itself has some standalone volume buttons, so that helps.
