Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12
  • Lenovo ThinkPads used to do that, but you had to know the system.

    T580 as an example:

    • T is the series
    • 5 indicates 1[5]" screen size
    • 8 indicates the year 201[8]
    • 0 doesn't really mean anything

    So a T490 would be 14" and from 2019.

    Though, I'm unsure of their naming scheme for newer models like T14 or T15. I think the 14 or 15 just tells the screen size, and then they add a "Gen 2", "Gen 3" etc. to indicate the age.

  • Is it an Android bug if LibreOffice viewer has full access to all files?
  • I think it has access through the system filepicker app, and I'm pretty sure that means it will only temporarily be granted access to read just the file you pick. You, the user, can see and select any and all the files on the screen, but in this case, the app that requested the file access can't see the content of the filepicker app's UI - if I'm not totally mistaken.

    If someone can confirm this, please do!

  • Is there any open source tv focused os/ui?
  • Some files on Plasma Bigscreen's Gitlab were updated 2-3 days ago, so I think it's still being maintained.

    On the other hand, the Emulationstation website reads:

    This website is for the original EmulationStation, last updated in 2015!

    Without having tried it, I think ES-DE may be a better choice nowadays, since that one seems to be maintained.

    RetroDECK bundles ES-DE with relevant tools and emulators if you want to use it for emulation of games.

  • Kids are short-circuiting their school-issued Chromebooks for TikTok clout
  • Sounds great, but... unfortunately, it seems impossible to tilt on the chair with those, which I see as an essential part of going to school.

    Also, the heights of the chair and table seem unadjustable, and it seems the pupil is seated too far away from the desktop to actually be comfortable.

    What a useless piece of piss. Yeah, at least it's repairable, but is such a stupid piece of faulty furniture even worth repairing?

  • Turning the Tables: How to Make Spammers Reveal Their Own IP Address
  • Ask the town hall to update the record of your email address to a different one that doesn't get those amounts of spam. When you're sure you're not losing access to any other services you used that address for, go ahead and delete it. To me, that seems like the most effective solution to get rid of it.

  • What's your take on biometric security?
  • I don't want to test this right now, but some of my previous devices would just reboot after keeping the power button pressed for approx. 10-30 sec, overruling the need to use the on-screen shutdown menu - probably to be able to escape a frozen/broken system without waiting for the unremovable battery to run out. That could very well still be the case for some current devices out there.
