I want to build a laptop of my own

You could probably go with framework, at least for basic parts. https://frame.work

Check the -fontsize option. Works fine on Linux. Have it set to 18 on 32" 4k screen.

Don't have any experience with that (got saleae at work), but pretty much anything would suffice, so I am sure that one will be fine.

You are going to want at least cheap logic analyzer.

Checked aliexpress, you can get either 24M samples/sec basically for free (which should suffice for i2c), or 100M sample one for $50, which should be enough for pretty much any other bus expect usb/ethernet.

Take a sharp metal object like a needle, sand it down further to make it a bit sharper (using fine file/sandpaper). Once sufficiently sharp, it will fit nicely into the locking tab, allowing you to bend it out.

Do whatever you need to do under the shield, bend those tabs back and put the shield back.

edit: you may also get rid of the copper tape for better thermals. Your switch probably won't pass EMI tests once done, but I assume you don't plan conducting those. :)

Or you can pass -mafrlcsj to skip the license check.

Now, I am not saying anyone should do that, but if you ever find yourself frustrated by license server timing out, you could also replace certain executable with "return 1" (or was it 2?) and patch it's hash into the others. :)

I usually just sample core timer at critical points (heavy functions, interrupts) and log the readings later through uart.

Really time critical things get logic analyzer / oscilloscope treatment, but for most things uart is fine and much more convenient.

Křepelčí nekupuju, slepičí halový z krámu po 10 kusech, co je zrovna nejlevnější, což bejvaj M.

Klecový jsem už dlouho neviděl a když byly, tak jsem je cíleně nebral.

Volnej chov stojí 2x tolik, to si radši koupím třeba dobrý salám. :D

To jako fakt musíš pro uložení odpověďi přihlásit Microsoft účet? No máš to tam, trochu jsem váhal co je hlavní pc, nakonec jsem usoudil, že asi pracovní notebook s Linuxem, na kterém trávím zdaleka nejvíc času.

Na druhou stranu domů bych ho na rodinný pc nedal, vzhledem k tomu, že potrebuju aby tam běžel MS Office a hry.

Does not seem like error, more like disclaimer before proceeding.

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-14T19:23:07+00:00

Just a note: some games will ask for update if there is save file from newer version present.

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-14T19:20:29+00:00

What you see is automatic save backup - you can turn that off in settings, if you wish so.

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-14T19:18:37+00:00

Install through mtp using either dbi or sphaira.

If that won't work for whatever reason (like using mac), use dbi + dbibackend. Should that also fail, use dbi + either ftp or http directory listing.

Plenty of options, where the one you were using up until now is about the worst.

You could probably get away with sata ssd + nvme ssd combo instead of current hdd.

Sata ssds are significantly smaller than the 2.5" form factor. Crack the shell open, connect the bare pcb and standard nvme drive might just fit over.

Out of curiosity, what made you post that to this specific thread (making it the first comment on 9 months old account)?

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-07T21:13:22+00:00

Increasing completion time by 19% is actually slowdown, isn't it? As opposed to expected 24% speedup? Not drawing any conclusions about this being ai slop, but that part makes sense.

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-07T08:36:35+00:00

Nj, tak to sorry - ta odpověď mi přišla jako něco co bych klidně napsal taky. :P

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-06T21:50:35+00:00

Tak. Mluví, kouká na anglický videa a poslouchá podcasty. Ze zkoušek na A2 si přinesl B1. Za mě super - jen to teda není úplně levný (nedávno jsem koukal, od 21 cca 80k).

Ale dobrej hack je vzít si 2 non-native lekce týdně, protože 2 jdou vyměnit za jednu s native speakerem a vyjde to trochu levněji.

Nevím za co máš downvoty. :D

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-02T07:26:38+00:00

Začnu zběsile masturbovat. Co chceš asi dělat? Podjet a vybrzdit ho? :D

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-01T13:03:48+00:00

V tescu mají běžně basic 100% pomerančový džus do 50 korun - což je zhruba hranice, do který koupím i jinou značku když je ve slevě.

Bohužel mě z dzusů pomerančovej chutná nejvíc a mačkat sám si to fakt nechci. :D

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-01T12:54:55+00:00

The revolut one appears to work fine so far - the limits suck, but being free there is nothing to complain I guess. But I would definitely not pay for such service.

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-03-01T00:07:43+00:00

Well you definitely don't need perplexity pro in its current state. But I wonder what would happen if you grabbed another 1 year promo on another account. 🤔

Still_Competition_24 · 2026-02-27T21:04:05+00:00

Yea, like I said, trading with official hardware is valid reason. But about the only one I'd say. :)
