There's a new version (fork?) of filebrowser dubbed "quantum" if that's your thing https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser

Type of key? And how to get broken part out of lock? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] alphapuggle@programming.dev 5 points 7 months ago

I've had luck melting a hot glue stick and pressing it on the head, letting it cool, and pulling it out, but you would also be best replacing the lock since you can open the door

You can get this to 1x1 and it'll look okay if your launcher allows you to ignore widget sizes (e.g. Lawnchair)

I promise it's not as hard as it sounds 😂

There doesn't seem to be any specific videos for your model, but for the most part you just have to take all of the screws out of the bottom and wedge something in the crack between the top and bottom to gently pry it apart. I would take a look at some other videos on similar computers to get comfortable with it first. If the case is putting up a lot of resistence once you've gotten a part separated, you'll want to go back and make sure you got all of the screws out, sometimes they'll be under the rubber feet.

Not entirely, just the connection it has to the motherboard

They're not too bad to work with, I did my grandma's Chromebook a bit ago and did 2 last night after realizing I didn't need a modded cable, just the battery trick. If you'd replace it anyway it doesn't hurt to try!

Do you have this laptop currently? You can coreboot it and install Fedora on it https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/supported-devices.html

There's this, looks kinda fishy but it only asks for a date from the bios and spits out a code without asking for payment, couldn't hurt to try

Edit: found the source for it if you want to roll your own

Their tag line is "in search of incredible" for a reason, they sure as fuck haven't found it!

[See inside for repair experience] Does anybody have good experiences with Lenovo's warranty? (programming.dev)

Edit: Conclusion at the bottom

I just sent my ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 in for service the other day, it hasn't yet reached the depot but I'm worried after seeing reviews online about Lenovo's customer service. I know people are definitely more likely to write a review if they have a bad experience than a good one.

The repair is just for the TrackPoint, which hasn't been really up to the old ThinkPads I've had (T23, T43, T61, T410, T460) and had recently stopped going to the right entirely. TrackPoints are the only reason I still buy ThinkPads and not something like a framework (and I don't think I can go back to non 2-in-1 laptop after this last one)

I also took the NVMe drive out and swapped it with one that had a fresh install of windows 11 on it so that I could use my data while it was sent in. Will they refuse to work on it if they have a non oem drive inside?

AFTER REPAIR EDIT: Just got it back from the warranty center! Instead of replacing just the TrackPoint module, they replaced the whole top cover & TrackPad (I did mention that it was having similar issues to them). Came with the factory plastic on it. They didn't try to short-change me in any way, didn't try to argue that it was normal or that it was wear and tear or anything like that. It works better they day it was new, and all of the scuffs that I had on the corners are now gone (so is my intel sticker but I can live with that).

In regards to the SSD being out, they didn't say anything or refuse service because of it. I was up front that I had been inside the device before I had sent it in, so YMMV, but all in all 10/10 experience

How long do updates take? (programming.dev)
 

Started an update for a minor version and it's been like 20 minutes and I have no display out from the nas and I can't access it over the network. This is the first update I've done on the system how long does this usually take and when should I try rebooting it?
