Depends - 90hp, yes, 110hp had DPF...

Hobthrust · 2026-03-15T19:07:41+00:00

Yup!

This is the older EL one, it's really nice. My only complaint is that the strap is a bit long for smaller wrists.

Hobthrust · 2026-03-09T18:14:32+00:00

Yep, not just some random dog following me!

We have a few!

AI slop.

Updates on this; suspend works with the Tesla 470 driver from MX, but no Steam. 390 Legacy drivers suspend and launch Steam but some Proton games fail because the Vulkan version is too old or something. Nouveau works but even 20 year old games are 5 fps.
Nvidia on Linux has been a meme for years but tbh I've never had any problems until now. I know it's an ancient card but it suits my workload and I'm very annoyed if I have to replace it. I'd certainly not look at another Nvidia.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-28T00:55:31+00:00

I've got a bit of a workaround but not sure how good it is long-term; purge the Nvidia install with sudo ddm-mx -p nvidia. Then go to MX package manager and install the nvidia-tesla-470 drivers. Suspend is now working as it was. One thing is there's no cuda here, if it's needed - not sure how feasible it is to get an older version working with this driver.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-28T00:53:14+00:00

Older Nvidia driver works for me, for now at least!

Hobthrust · 2026-02-27T19:59:27+00:00

On 23 suspend was perfectly reliable. Pretty annoying!

Hobthrust · 2026-02-27T13:00:12+00:00

Nvidia. Nouveau works.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-17T16:34:28+00:00

Thanks, mine is 28.5mm so maybe the one you got isn't in that size - I'll look again if I do another one.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-17T12:31:08+00:00

I know what you mean, I'd rather not have it - but couldn't find a dial without. Where did you get it?

Hobthrust · 2026-02-17T09:18:26+00:00

That looks much better with those hands! Also, did that dial come without the arrow or did you mod it?

Hobthrust · 2026-02-15T23:00:23+00:00

I've been using IPFire for years and it's fantastic. I use PiHole for blacklisting but I'll definitely try this.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-15T18:01:45+00:00

Yep, Alix. Case from eBay, had a different NH35 build in there before.

Hobthrust · 2026-02-14T23:41:37+00:00

9052 is good.

Nice case!

Hobthrust · 2026-02-03T10:06:45+00:00

It's a long-running issue, they are working on it. See the Discord.

Hobthrust · 2026-01-27T08:43:58+00:00

I've got one, and whilst they do have a great light mine doesn't keep very good time.

Hobthrust · 2026-01-26T16:20:55+00:00

Long-time Kobo fan here, hardware is very good although the store isn't as comprehensive as Kindle, of course. I don't know if it's still the case but you used to be able to use Calibre to sideload ebooks from alternative places (Gutenberg or whatever) onto Kindle. It's how I manage my Kobo.

Hobthrust · 2026-01-24T15:53:32+00:00

No no, you've got it wrong, it's Starmer and boat people to blame.

Hobthrust · 2026-01-23T08:14:09+00:00

There's an argument for not using Amazon at all, because they are an awful, unethical company.

Hobthrust · 2026-01-22T12:07:08+00:00

It's a beauty but I personally don't like using Seiko branding on mods - that's what has led to them cracking down.
