A fan of you and your fashion sense!

Is there anything i can do with this laptop? in c/[email protected]

The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.

Yes, Mr Trump heard I was restoring these clubs so he dropped by to see for himself. 😉

I was hoping for a story.

Lemmy predicts: Chromebooks will become the new Thinkpads in c/[email protected]

[–] undrwater 9 points 4 months ago

As others have mentioned, perhaps while the metaphor is weak, your spirit is strong!

My kid's Chromebooks (I purchased for them before the school provided) reached EOL before they finished elementary school.

I installed Linux (Gentoo) so we could continue using them. When power is correctly configured, they were very cool to use as a quick tool to search for something, answer an email, write a quick document and other simple tasks. They did not work well as workstations as an old Thinkpad might.

Since they are so light, and the battery lasted forever, we would leave them on a counter, and pick them up as needed.

Neo-Launcher (you can find it on GitHub) is attempting to replace Nova.

They've done a decent job.

Thanks! While flatpaks are not the Gentoo way, I'll give it a try.

Explain shafts - is mojo involved? (self.golf)

submitted 4 months ago by undrwater to c/golf

0 comments fedilink

Since starting golfing, I've become increasingly nerdy about hardware. This is typical for me.

I've recently learned how to reshaft carbon fiber and steel shafts, which has allowed me and son to try out the limited shafts we have here at home.

I've read that shafts can be an amazing magic that transforms your game, but also that that's a crock, and super expensive shafts don't have any magic in them.

What's your experience or expertise in this area?

LLM speech-to-text.

It appears continuous speech recognition is possible, but I only got as far as recognition of an audio file.

Still very cool!

reFind is superior in this use case, as it will detect and boot any EFI media, even hot plugged.

Checking in... (self.cancer)

Last posts prior to this were about 8 months ago. I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing.

I'm [M,58] a year and a half post surgery, and so far clean. Cancer took my bladder and prostate.

Recovery started quickly, but I feel about 70% of where I was pre cancer. Mental outlook is good.

Sending out good vibrations to you all!

Son joined the high school team last year, so I started with him at the same time. I've been learning a lot. His coach is quite chill, and we play sometimes during the matches.

I wish this community were a bit noisier, 'cause that other place has more activity.

Hi everyone!

[HELP] Running Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars (self.linux_gaming)

submitted 1 year ago by undrwater to c/linux_gaming

3 comments fedilink

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

wine: RLIMIT_NICE is &lt;=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.
