  • anywhere to buy a cheap chromebook battery without much charge left? (I'm broke in canada)

    Jump

  • Oh one other idea is your local electronics recycling centre. Our one frequently has battered Chromebooks. One by the same brand might do you. The folks in our one are friendly and would definitely give it to you for free so you might get lucky there too. Maybe leave your phone number with them also.

    On your question about the loose power - I'd say that's a dry or loose solder joint. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron it should be easily fixed. Occasionally a heavily used connector just loses grip and if that's the case a gentle squeeze with a pliers will do you.

  • Good luck! If you can't find one for sale it might be worth posting up in a local Facebook group or equivalent asking if anyone has one. Folks frequently don't think of selling broken kit.

  • Is this a spoon or a spatchula?

    Jump

  • Must be. I'd call them an egg slice or fish slice like yourself. Spatula to me is silicone. Western Europe.

  • I would probably search local online markets for a broken one of your current Chromebook. The battery will likely do what you want and you'll have it for other spares too.

  • My kids always struggle to get presents for me because I have everything I want. I'm a simple man.

    Have you asked him if there's anything he'd like? He might have something in mind.

    When asked I always say socks. I love the Nike dri-fit socks. Black. I now have a lot of them because I've been saying "Socks. No I really mean it" for ages.

    It's such a simple joy to grab any two socks from my drawer and know that they'll match and be very comfy.

    Edit: other than that I'd suggest something that he'll use frequently and think of you. Another poster suggested tools which is a good one. A good coffee mug or nice glass is good too.

  • Ice cream trucks still around?

    Jump

  • The ice cream truck stopped coming to our estate about 5 years ago though there are plenty of kids about.

    I do see them parked near playgrounds etc. quite a bit but not doing the rounds like they used to.

  • How active is too active while being on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Yeah if you're happy to post I'm happy to see posts.

  • What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?

  • Incredible summary. 10/10.

  • Networking issues (desktop mode)

    Jump

  • You're not going to believe this but someone else commented above that it might be the HDMI cable or monitor and unbelievably they were correct. Ping immediately restored once I unplugged it then went bad again when I replugged.

    I've rotated the deck 90 degrees and it's a lot better.

    Jump

  • Holy. Fucking. Shit.

    This was it.

    Here's my ping output. You can see where I unplugged and replugged the HDMI cable. Absolutely not in my wildest dreams would I have thought of this. Thank you so much.

  • Thanks. I can't see it in the KDE settings but will give that a whirl.

  • Networking issues (desktop mode)

    Jump

  • It's WiFi, 3rd party dock (but deck WiFi), ISP router which is unaffected on other devices, OS is right up to date.

    I did reboot the ISP router just before posting and the issue still persisted until I rebooted the deck at which point it was gone.

    edit: It's gone to shit again. I got a network analyzer on my phone and ping is clean as a whistle on it while the deck is averaging 400ms.

  • Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?

  • My wife had a favourite song when she was pregnant and it was very useful for calming after the birth. It was quite a chill tune.

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • Depends how many you're shopping for. My nearest supermarket is about a kilometre away and if I'm going there I'll always walk. That's a grand distance even with a heavy shop.

    I'd do 3 if I was just buying for myself but it's at the upper limit depending on weight, especially in 30C (I presume dry heat because fuck that shit otherwise).

  • Thanks. I was about to do this but another comment caused me to check scheduled messages. It was signal.

    Edit: I went in here to look anyway and this would have definitely caught it. Thanks for the suggestion.
