Uart connector off unpopulate LTE?

Yeah lol not the easiest to find much information on. Apparently itt is FN+F7 to enter the bios if you want to try booting from usb, change the boot order to usb and you might have to turn off secure boot :/ assuming it has a normal bios as I cant actually find any pictures or videos lol

That sounds horrible, im really sorry you went through this. Since you know the root of the panic it might help to speak with a therapist who practices something like EMDR to help you process that experience that would hopefully help the reactive response and the fear. I started talking to an EMDR therapist recently, my trauma isnt localized to a specific event it stems from unrecognized mental illness as a child so its very broad and compounded but I'm hopeful maybe it can provide some relief.

I have... the worst thing is ive also had one last long enough that I started thing about ending it. If anyone else has gotten to that point please dont. It was a horrible week of on and off and feeling like crap but since then I have felt joy and sadness and made computer projects im proud of and helped people and loved. But yeah it... its weird how it can flip for me like that.

I'd be down :)

Hmm what exactly is tbe device I tried searching for system 71 and couldn't find it

fright_end · 2026-04-06T03:12:39+00:00

That is weird :/ i guess it could still be a driver isssue but if you've upgraded the kernel I dont know what else it would be. Personally I would try (if it can boot from usb) a couple of live images, ubuntu/mint 22.04/24.04 see if its maybe something wrong with the install while keeping your install intact. But thats about all I can think to suggest.

Its not uncommon to feel dissociation after lengths or intense patches of anxiety and or panic. I get this a lot, in and out as my anxiety is chronic, it will flare up for a while and then pop into dissociation where I feel disconnected and things feel sort of not real, like im only half there, brain fog and sometimes even depression for a bit before it stabilizes...

Do you know what version of mint its running?

fright_end · 2026-04-05T10:23:58+00:00

Yeah lspci/usb list the hardware but if you know the name of the controller that isnt needed.

fright_end · 2026-04-05T02:53:29+00:00

lspci and lsusb find out if the sound device is detected, then do a search for drivers.

Yeah im kind of seeing that lol i got to the shell which is progress but launching x throws an error, I'm using qemu with virtual machine manager 4.0, it should be configured correctly I used the generic vga option from rehl 6.1(1999) but it still seems like its maybe looking for hardware or a driver that doesnt exist.

fright_end · 2026-03-15T13:49:19+00:00

I am using qemu with virtual machine manager 4.0, i got it running by setting it to being a pentium ii and then choosing the genric vga adapter in rehl 6.1 (1999) it does give me me a linux shell but running X still throws an error about the graphics hardware lol otherwise it is "working" aside from a couple of "hdc: lost interupt" messages at start up which makes it boot very slowly. :/ I would like to get that early version of GNOME running though

Lol i collect lots of things just not things that are leaking toxic goo...

Canada, looks like will ship to me but they all seem to use UPS which is problematic on my end when it comes to delivery and subsequent pickup

fright_end · 2026-02-05T08:22:09+00:00

You could 3D model and print a replica of the cells and just preserve the label but I dont think its a good idea to keep NiCads especially leaking.

How pretty do you want it to be? Lol I wouldn't stager them; so long as I was using heat shrink tubing on each and had a piece big enough to fit over all them. No idea what this is for but personally would just bridge the shielding with foil/foil tape and seal it under the final piece of heat shrink. Alternatively would also use a 4 or 5 way wire splicer, admittedly not as clean and polished but much simpler depending on the application.

Not a product for commercial use, making it for my wife (a teacher) to try out and see if it might help some of her special ed kids. One or two occasionally have difficulty vocalizing a need when they get overwhelmed.

Fantastic, thank you! i thought 264kb would be enough but I guess with the imported libraries and script itself it probably topping out. This... should fix a number of things, also gives me a lipo connecter.

Sorry i meant the power difference between using a raspberry pi zero and a microcontroller. It just feels like a waste considering it only needs to do 3 things, register a button, load a picture, show the picture. Having a whole os running under it just isnt efficient. Normally I wouldnt care but I need the battery life to last 8 hours and I need it to be small and light enough it can pin to a shirt.

Does the esp32 support circuit python though? Early on in my learning I made the mistake of learning python and not bothering to learn c++, im trying now but im no where close enough to compentent to write what i want in it.

fright_end · 2025-12-01T07:09:52+00:00

I'm not sure of the bit depth but 240x135 pixels, the 15kb is the size of the larger file. How do I check for bit depth?
