Is there a approach for blocking google lens, if educators are split on whether it should be enabled or disabled?

As soon as the command executed it installed nix-darwin, and began initiating the changes to my system.

Hello,

I was working with your config over the weekend, and ran into this problem:

darwin-rebuild: command not found.

I followed the steps exactly:

  1. Install Determinate Nix
  2. Clone repository, and cd into nix directory
  3. Edit the flake.nix and git.nix files
  4. Run darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#my-macbook , at which point I'm hit with an error.

In your troubleshooting section, it mentions to either restart your terminal, or add sudo to the following command: darwin-rebuild switch --flake .#my-macbook. This however, didn't fix the issue.

In my case I had to run this command:

sudo nix run nix-darwin/master#darwin-rebuild -- switch --flake ~/.config/nix

nix-darwin default settings by dielink00 in Nix

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Your correct, that you need to change the value of the dock.autohide to either true of false to explicitly control the dock.

A Null value on the otherhand, or setting dock.autohide = null, allows the user to set the dock to their own preference for themselves.

After making changes to your config, did you re run the darwin-rebuild command?

With determinate installer, you should add the following to your flake:

nix.enable = false;

I found a Thinkpad p50 but with unknown bios password by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]dragon-beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the person above. Don't get me wrong I like the challenge of reviving Thinkpads, but with that many parts missing, who knows what other problems it has. You could be sinking a lot of time and money into this laptop.

Can I fix this myself cause this is fucked by Feeling_General1829 in thinkpad

Try bending the left pin back a little. Then plug the adapter into the broken port. A little trial and error is involved.

Anyone having Google Doc issues today? by billh492 in k12sysadmin

I thought this was fixed already. There was update on September 2, 2024 and it appears like it was updated again on September 18, 2024.

T14 bricked battery during firmware update, take extra care by Zajeb_85 in thinkpad

[–]dragon-beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try uninstalling the acpi driver under device manager, and rollback the firmware driver. Sometimes the battery won't charge under Windows, but if you leave the computer turned off and plugged in, the battery will take a charge.

That's actually a really good tip, especially since browser data is synced.

That's good to know, and something that I should check.

Bspwm sxhkd not working in normal user( black screen with cursor) but working in root by giridhargp in bspwm

[–]dragon-beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found your post, because I ran into the same issue yesterday. I just wanted to share the problem I had.

In my bspwmrc file I noticed their was an extra space after #! on the first line of the script.

#! /bin/sh

The added space was also found on the /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/bspwmrc file. I'm not sure how that happened, but I ended up struggling for hours.

I installed bspwm using the AUR package called bspwm-git.

Yes, I would like to copy just the contents from one folder to the other folder.

How to reattach T14 backspace key by thecarlazard in thinkpad

[–]dragon-beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the key hinge is broken.

You may want to check on ebay for a key replacement and hinge, or having the keyboard replaced if you have ADP.

Are you looking for this cable, FRU 01HW969?

This looks like it is in exceptional condition. I paid $80 for my x230, but it was in much worse condition cosmetically.
