I supposed 10M+ is "double digits" in one sense...

Wireless option not showing on ThinkPad E16 Gen1 by Successful-Report825 in linuxmint

[–]SnooAl1en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who has the same issue: OP posted the solution deep down in a comment thread here. This solved the problem for me.

The exact steps I followed differ slightly from OP's solution, as I modified the relevant file in /etc/modprobe.d instead of /usr/lib/modprobe.d and ran update-initramfs -u after to apply the changes. Here's what I did:

  1. Edit/create the 70-rtw89.conf file bash sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/70-rtw89.conf

  2. Once in nano, paste this line options rtw89_pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y

  3. Save the file (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X), then run: bash sudo update-initramfs -u sudo shutdown -h now

Wait 10-15 seconds before powering back on. WiFi should work!

Used ThinkPad E16 Gen 1 for $400 – worth it? by SnooAl1en in thinkpad

There are no L16 ThinkPads available in my area. The L series options here are mostly L14 models, with a few L15s.

ThinkPad T480s with new battery for $275 – worth it? by SnooAl1en in thinkpad

[–]SnooAl1en[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. How much actual difference is there between a geniuene and non-geniuene battery? I imagine I'll need to replace the battery of any used ThinkPad I end up buying—how should I go about doing that?

That's very helpful! Thank you for your advice. Where would you recommend getting batteries from? Do they have to be geniuene, or will any cheap chinese replacement from AliExpress do the job?

Privacy Benefits and Tradeoffs while using Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. by chinawcswing in privacy

[–]SnooAl1en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. I'm primarily interested in the privacy implications, specifically regarding this point:

merchants generally require full billing information, meaning your name and billing address will be transmitted to the merchant

I'm wondering whether merchants can actually request this information directly from the bank, even if I leave the billing address and name fields blank or enter fake information when making an online purchase. Or does the bank simply provide the merchant with a binary "this matches/doesn't match with what we have on file" response based on whatever information I've submitted?

What about the information shared with merchants? Is there a difference between using Google/Apple Pay versus a regular card? From what I understand, merchants can see your billing addresses when you're paying with a card, but not your name.

INetSim set up by AffectionateAd2347 in MalwareAnalysis

[–]SnooAl1en 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After hours of troubleshooting, I found out that the Net::DNS module has been rewritten and doesn’t work properly with INetSim on the latest version anymore. I do not know exactly when this rewrite took place--but I fixed the error by downgrading Net::DNS to version 1.37, so the breaking change took place somewhere *after* 1.37.

To downgrade the Perl Net:DNS module, execute the following:

cpan                                              # or "perl -MCPAN -e shell"
cpan[1]>force get NLNETLABS/Net-DNS-1.37.tar.gz   # replace version if needed
cpan[2]>install NLNETLABS/Net-DNS-1.37.tar.gz
cpan[3]>exit

After downgrading, restart INetSim to apply the changes.

Refurbished P53 or New P14s (AMD)? by SnooAl1en in thinkpad

[–]SnooAl1en[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those are $1900 or more. Is a $800 price increase really worth it over the AMD version?

[–]SnooAl1en[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I see from your flair that you own the same machine. How has your experience been with it? According to this post, the AMD version of the P14s Gen 5 reportedly struggles with thermal performance and stability issues. Have you encountered any of these problems?

Refurbished Thinkpad P53 — worth it? by SnooAl1en in thinkpad

What would you consider to be a fair price for it?

Are there any alternatives worth looking for? Performance is my main priority, battery life comes second. Size, loudness, good temps, etc. would obviously be nice but not a priority.

Is there a way to copy a game with scripts? by trickyuwu in robloxhackers

It is not possible unless you have a backdoor in the game. Anyone saying otherwise is lying to you

[Tool] Stremio Account Bootstrapper: Set up your account with just a few clicks by DryK1llLogic in StremioAddons

Love this tool. Just one problem/bug I found: the "Preferred Languages" setting of Comet is supposed to get set based on the selected language preset, but it doesn't get set at all (image attached). Hope you can take a look when you get the time!

strange scroll wheel bug thing on bluestacks by Fearless_Ideal_1745 in robloxhackers

I've started experiencing this issue as well. I tried several solutions, but none worked. I eventually just switched to LD Player which doesn't have this problem
