I just did that on my own laptop, trying to figure out why it was running like crap. Turns out I set it to quiet mode instead of cool, so it underclocked instead of running the fan

I bought a new one recently. Apparently they’re doing a subscription thing now, so look closely at which model you’re buying. But other than that, it works just the same as my old one.

Yes, but I wouldn’t bother bringing it up to them. It’s fine if they want to provide it under multiple licenses. Since they make it available under the GPL, you can do those things under that license.

If they do change something, it will probably be to change the license away from GPL.

Being a YouTube personality is enough justification for me.

Ohhh. The headline made it sound like people who get tattoos make poor decisions.

Apparently I can’t read

Does it work if you unplug and replug? If you hit a button other than power does it wake up, or does it say “no signal” or something? Does the laptop see it? Anything in any log? Can you force a redetection from the laptop?

Loops?

You’ll need to check the logs for your display manager, probably kdm if you’re using KDE.

On Lenovo it’s usually the delete key, I think. You should check the manual. It should also be an entry in the boot options list.

You might also try a reset, but it would also be helpful if you shared the “few rolling lines of text”.

How little ram and swap do you have that this is a problem?

You might just use ulimit: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/746762/90708

I feel like there’s a better way to do this, unless you’re intentionally trying to run out of RAM.

In whatever centos uses for a prompt, it says “press tab for echo”, and it works. You’ll need to provide more info about your environment if you don’t have that option.

Yeah. For a small shop, it won’t help. Just show up and be willing to work and learn. Save that money.

Why GitHub? The installers are literally on the Thunderbird site https://www.thunderbird.net/

Thunderbird runs on Windows.

If Minix counts, I got it running on a 286 some years ago. I don’t remember how much RAM it had, but it was very little.

Yes, I’m sure there are multiple professional software solutions that are expensive but can do it. Reconfiguring the equipment is much cheaper.

Even basic stuff like teleconferencing software can do it, like do y that when Zoom is playing audio it doesn’t pick it back up through a desk mic, unless the feedback is really bad.

It sounds like your issue is that each microphone is picking up the other person’s voice. If your software is insufficient to handle this, I’d move or change the microphones.

Me when coming back to a system without NetworkManager

Ideas are cheap. “(site) but federated” isn’t novel, and in a lot of cases you don’t really even explain what that looks like, and I can’t make it make sense either.

We all live busy lives. I wrote the last comment on the bus, I’m writing this one from the toilet. If you want to contribute to the fediverse, great! Set aside time and contribute to a project, either by extending existing ones or starting your own. There are plenty of minor bugs that need fixing, and if you are proficient in any languages, translations are always needed, no coding skill required.
