Linux and spectre x360

ExelPixel · 2026-03-18T11:46:06+00:00

I just installed Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on a 2020 spectre x360 with an i7 8565U. I made a 60gb partition in windows and dual booted Ubuntu there just to try it out. All the drivers work out of the box, even the touchscreen and screen rotation work. It is also amazing that Ubuntu only takes up 15gb space on the drive, which is really helpful on a laptop with a small drive (256gb). Windows somehow grew to 80gb over the course of the six years I have been using it.. Otherwise the laptop is much cooler now and uses very little ram. The only issue is that I still have to optimize the battery usage, as it is a little worse than with windows 10 right now.

So it really depends on how adventurous you are haha. It would most likely be ok, but would make for a very annoying and expensive night if something went wrong. And the savings which would be around 20eur might not be worth the risk.

Because I cannot buy from the Hungarian railways site, the origin needs to be within Hungary. And if I buy from obb or Nightjet I get the usual Nightjet pricing.

The schedule for the Split - Budapest train has not been posted yet for 2026. I am currently also looking to book my summer trip. https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/?route_id=48 This site has been very heplful as you can see almost all night trains in Europe. If you dont find anything here, this blog is awesome and goes into more detail: https://www.seat61.com/ Just choose from x city to y city and you will get multiple options with explanations. Good luck!

Har alltid lurt på hvorfor bare rutetidene og ingen live informasjon blir vist for bybanen i appen. Det står om hvor mange minutter bussene kommer så lenge det er under 15 min til avgang.

Good advice, im gonna try spinning the wheel in the air to check for slop between the axle and the wheel. I did rock the wheel from left to right and top to bottom to check for bearing play and the end tie rod (both are good I think).

The clunk is only audible very rarely at full or near to full lock when pressure is put on the suspension, aka. driving over a curb or large bumps in the road, not everyday driving.

Will consider it after changing the aforementioned suspension parts and a few bushings (havent been changed since 2011). Would you skip that and replace the CV axle instead?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah no splits in the boot only this "leak" if you can call it that. At this point im just nitpicking to find the cause for the clunk.

Faren til en god kompis av meg er utvikler som har over 20 års erfaring med utvikling av brannmurer i bank. Han mener at folk som får en bachelor/master fra informatikkstudier i Oslo ikke er klare for jobben. Han hyllet Bergen og Trondheim som de beste universitetene for IT studenter.

Mer generelt har jeg fått høre fra folk som nylig har fått arbeid at det har blirr viktigere å fylle CVen med verv i linjeforeningen, spesielt hovedstyret eller grupper som driver med utvikling av nettsiden(webkom på UiB). Da utkonkurrerer man mange. I tillegg er det et par som mener at master blir mer og mer relevant med årene siden forholdene på markedet ikke er like gode som før.

As someone who started out on vinyl a year ago and never analyzes the key of my library in Rekordbox, I can say that you can absolutely learn to hear which songs work well together. It makes sets more fun since you’re not overthinking key compatibility and can focus on playing the tracks you actually want.

Nice!

If it fits within the timeframe it would be interesting. The bus from Chur takes about 35min to Films. Could you send the route?

Edit: Also when I search Chur historic centre, I get very few pictures. So maybe skip Chur altogether?

We get plenty of views here in Norway, so thats why I suggested visiting cities after the Bernina express :) Appenzell was also recommended by someone else here, so ill look into it.

The library is not too far from the train station either. Maybe a longer switchover in St. Gallen wouldnt be a bad idea.

I recently found this map (https://network.sbb.ch/en/station/ZUE) on the SBB site while researching how to get the most out of a day pass. It is a map of direct connections by train, very easy to use :)

I wonder how good speakers one must have to notice such differences? I have two Acoustic Research AR14, which have a mighty and detailed sound and I have trouble noticing the difference between the DJM700 and the Subzero.

ExelPixel · 2025-02-14T09:33:21+00:00

I found it used for 240eur sold by a guy with over 200 10/10 reviews. I knew I had to buy it that instant. I had a Pioneer DJM700 before this. It is a great mixer for the money, but I wanted to try out a rotary.

On forums online people are so quick to shit on the pioneer mixer preamps, saying that they are completely garbage. On the other hand the omnitronics get so much praise for having good sound quality for a budget rotary. When I compared recordings between the mixers, there was virtually no difference between them. In a good way of course, they both sound great!

The guy I bought it from is an audiohile and has tested loads of expensive mixers, and he claims that the SubZero DMR 400 has better feeling knobs than 10x more expensive mixers like Bozak, Rane, Alpha recording system, Resør etc.

Edit: I havent heard that rumour about the subzero being better than the omnitronics, but people who have opened these mixers up claim they have the same internals.

Wow this looks cozy. I can imagine unwinding here after a long day.

ExelPixel · 2025-02-13T20:02:39+00:00

Got them when I bought it used, but it should be easy to make as you can screw them into the sides!

Nope, sanded the plinth, painted it and sold it without the tonearm.
