[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!

It wasn't my dumb idea.

Wasn't my choice. I was 10.

Time to get an Android, I guess.

Hot take by hellfire103 in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 56 points 11 months ago

Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.

Securing Bluetooth Headphones (sopuli.xyz)

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!

Try changing your user agent to a Chrome one (e.g. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36). Works a treat!

I really hate these guys. The exam board is petty, the content is hard, and they do bullshit like this.

Firefox FTW! by hellfire103 in c/foss@beehaw.org

[-] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 123 points 1 year ago

Actually, I have. It gives me better tracking protection than vanilla Safari, it allows me to use SearXNG, and it means I can set a custom homepage. Also, for some reason, Safari has no private mode on my phone.

Not to mention that Mozilla is working on a Gecko-based version of the browser, as Apple is being forced by the EU to allow sideloading, third-party app stores, and third-party browser engines.

In an ideal world, this would be a good thing. Machines doing the work so humans can relax; but I doubt this is even possible in the world we live in.

I have installed Linux on all four of my laptops, and I'm hoping to migrate from my iPhone to a Pixel with DivestOS as soon as I move out of my parents' house (I'm currently 17), or sooner if possible.

I have also swapped many web apps for desktop apps, and my music collection has been based around CDs and DRM-free files since it started in 2016. In addition, I still use DVDs, VHS tapes, and (to a lesser extent) good old-fashioned Torrents for my films and TV shows.

If the internet becomes altogether too bad, there's always Gemini. Making web apps is trickier, but entirely feasible.

I think there was also a federated social media site on Gemini, which could interact with Mastodon, but I can't find it.

Here it is on PeerTube, since we're on the Fediverse and probably wanting to avoid Google.
