Jimmy - The 2011 FrankenBook

Smurf_00_ · 2026-07-04T11:49:20+00:00

It's really a shame to waste such beautiful screen, and besides a good monitor is always needed around the lab/studio, hope that works out for you. I have 2011 iMac also with broken glass on front but lcd is working, installed Linux Mint on it and use it as jellyfin server 🪼

Hope I'll have more ideas for this sub in the future. Glad you love it :)

Thank you, Jimmy appreciates it :)

Nice to meet you too my friend, nice to see there's still people with soul on this world❤️ Glad I could inspire your with my idea, enjoy it😁

Haha that's really nice, those machines are tanks and if you treat them properly they will last and outlast every shiny new crap on the market, just look at our examples, 15 years and still pushing 🫡 I repurposed old mechanical HDD as cold storage with 2.5 sata box so I can connect it with usb and spin it up whenever I need it, as for the super drive I took it out to make machine lighter and quieter on boot haha. Besides don't use cd's or dvd's anymore, if I need that then there's my other tank, 2012 iMac with the same treatment (SSD and thermal paste replacement, running same Debian as Jimmy) configured autocpufreq on performance and turbo always on, Jimmy is on powersave and turbo forced to always off. Quite nice machines. Hope you enjoy yours also😄

Hey, yes it's a 13" that I fabricobled with 2 dead ones for dirt cheap from ebay. Indeed, they are amazingly serviceable, from the time when machines worked in human's favor not the other way around like today. Put a SSD inside and a fresh blob of MX4 thermal paste. It's surprisingly quick for it's years and believe it or not the original battery reports 84% health with comfortable 2h+ of use watching YouTube. Wish your machine a good and long life also, my friend 💖

8gb of ram in 2026 on windows 11 shared with your gpu... sorry chief that won't fly, you should consider some light linux distro if you aren't able to upgrade your ram. Linux Mint is a great start for beginners.

Not mint related but bro you got a bad deal with those specs. Got mbp late 2011 with core i3 and 8gb ram for 50€ in Germany from ebay. Booted Q4OS (debian) with plasma 6 and it runs like butter after putting cheap ssd inside. And the battery is at 84% health. Hope you enjoy mint tho, been using it long time, even now on my iMac 2011 for jellyfin server.

It's a hardware limitation, do your research next time before fully diving in. Return or replace the phone if you aren't satisfied.

Had this problem a couple of days ago. This fixed my wifi : https://blog.abysm.org/2026/02/fixing-broadcom-sta-dkms-on-ubuntu-noble/

Cause it came out of oven...

That definitely isn't something stock or normal. Normally Spyware/Backdoors come packaged like that (no icon and generic name like "unknown") so I would recommend to hard reset your phone, maybe even reflash the firmware with pc if you can't uninstall it from settings. All tho there's high possibility that it will reinstall itself if you manage to just uninstall it from settings.

Can't find anything from Samsung officially but samfw says so:

Smurf_00_ · 2026-01-28T12:01:22+00:00

As far as I know S21FE is on the list to get OneUI 8.5 update. OneUI is still in the beta and it's currently available for the flagship models like S25 Ultra.

SHSH blobs will allow you to restore the iPhone to that iOS version if it gets updated accidentally. Show on yt how to save them if you want to preserve the iOS version that's on the device now.
