Ah that sucks, I started with the zenfone 8 and seeing the market and how much I use my headphone jack, I sincerely hope Asus gets their update act together before I need to upgrade. What did you switch to?

No feature fomo for old phones, as long as the thing you are used to stays secure ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Untrue, the Zenfone 9 is also getting android 14, that may be it’s last major update. Zenf10 should be set for android 15 as well. Zenf8 is on adroid 13 and got a security update in october, so things are looking decent imho.

Would you notice if it doesn’t? The screen flickering is obvious, what if your ram and ssd flicker, too? You can tinker with that laptop and try to reduce 3.3 or 5v power rail load with kernel flags, but until someone checks those power rails electrically I wouldn’t trust that laptop to be reliable for anything but a tinkering exercise. We sadly don’t get redundant power IC’s you could switch to, but the failure is common and the involved parts cheap. I wish competent repair shops were more common.

I would conclude from this that your dc-dc converter is out of whack and only works stable enough for a small range of input voltages. This hardware issue might require a hardware fix at a repair shop :/

Most of the time, your grub is still there, even the link on your efi partiton. Only the evivars in uefi need to be reminded of their existance far too often.

I’m impressed they could get their momentum going for so long, they were able to burn so much money and only now are investors pulling out? That was a serious hype train! Even if it was meant as lobby sponsoring against standard high speed rail, holy cow what a waste!

Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.

Funny icon on desktop goes brrr.

Distcc should be in the handbook ;) Get some computer friends to help!

if your layout is part of the keymaps (/usr/share/kbd/keymaps depending on distro) you can load it with ‘sudo loadkeys -u awesomelayout’ and make it permanent with ‘localectl’ except on debian and heirs. There it would be ‘sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration’

If they weren’t communicating at my wavelength anyway, it wouldn’t have lead to anything 🤷‍♂️ Natural preselection.

Any of them would be scary controlling train tickets, freaking wizards changing careers.

The above album is on youtube music, too.

I always envision this whenever I see reality TV.

If you consider the human brain works in 90 min chunks for most things including sleeping, that is completely within spec. For another chunk of sleep, you need to go to bed 60-80 min earlier.

It’s a medical device, you can lay on it or have it inserted for an even stronger application.

Time for a 10 minute mail and 123456 as a password. Take that bullshit website!

A weekly “how was your week on lemmy” post? That could be interesting, chaotic and engaging.

I heb geen Matrix en ook geen zin om het uit te zoeken, kunnen we ook iets on-site doen?
