The boards are already in production by some company iirc. Dosdude1 on YouTube did some upgrades on various M series machines

Ram is on the soc, the SSD isn’t really an SSD. It’s just nand chips on a pcb. The controller is on the soc.

Look, I like 1 indices languages like R and Lua.

At least on my pavilion, it’s just one simple daughter board for one of the USB ports. It’s the one I use the most. I can replace it easily if it breaks. The pcb is also very simple so it ends up being very cheap.

The square shaped one threw me for a loop the first time I worked in a computer with one.

Very Andersen powerpole esque

In my experience, USB c is soldered to the main board while the plug is a small module thats attached to the module. It’s easier to replace a small module than replace a whole USB c port. Ideally it’d be on a seperate board too. But it might be a bit more complex.

My sister broke one of the two USB c ports on her Thinkpad and if the second one breaks (both support charging), I can’t fix it easily without sending the motherboard out for repair and spending like $200.

Edit: you can support both USB c and DC plugs. My laptop can (HP pavilion).

Yeah but then it isn’t as light (but 250 grams is nothing tbh). The 64Wh one is 888 grams. Still less than a kilo which is very impressive. Just under 2 lbs.

I also hate the lack of USB ports now. That’s about average for the “nice” laptops of this day and age. I hate juggling around my peripherals bc I don’t have enough type c ports. I do hope it’s a barrel plug for charging and not only USB C pd.

That would be awful. i have a laptop at roughly 31 Wh capacity and it was basically unusable with the 11th gen i5 intel cpu. 2 hours of usable battery life. Take into consideration that batteries tend to live at 80% capacity for a long while and then you realize that laptop will have a 24Wh capacity. Basically two smartphone batteries worth of capacity

The one machine I had that ran Millennium Edition was a Sony laptop that came out right after it launched. Since it was the oem install, ig it survived for some time. My dad used it for Oracle DB work before I got it and used as a computer that could access the internet. I’ve only had one bsod with it. But realplayer deleted all my VXD files.

You actually have to exit the setup menu(f2 iirc), run a specific command, and then it will let you make an offline account.

If you don’t have a NIC, it will make you get an internet connection before proceeding. That was my experience on my laptop. What had happened was that for whatever reason, my wifi card wouldn’t work with the amd motherboard in my laptop (it wasn’t cnvio, and it was the same issue with ac 7265 and an ax210). So I had to resort to that to install windows.

ME wasn’t that bad. I think I just got lucky in terms of stability?

iirc they allow it in wasm, but that’s about it

I would recommend using a VPN. Since it is p2p, theres a non zero chance that you might get in trouble. Some ISPs don’t care and will only act if DMCAed.

a big piece of paper and some cool stickers is all you need. It’s more impressive when it’s tangible.

If you’re worried about stealing, put it a bit higher out of their reach and take photos of it after all the stickers are placed to keep track.

That’s fair. I run 125% scaling on 15.6 1080p display so I know exactly what you feel.

While I agree with you with the 16:10 display being nicer, in terms of size. 1280x800 isn’t bad once you take into consideration of screen size. Like the ppi for both displays are in the low 200s. A 1080p 15.6 in display has a lower ppi than both of those.

It’s probably what’s available without costing several kidneys.

I’d move hosts. Frantech will ignore dmca requests if you get a Luxembourg slot. Or move to feralhosting. They’re based in the Netherlands.

There was a way to do it on older Android phones with a specific Mac address changer but it broke after android 6 got released.

Toml is about the same as ini files at least with what I’ve worked with

Iirc it depends on what sms app is being used on the android side. I think it just sends “x person reacted to this reply with y emoji message”
