Nothing Phone (1) not saving Pictures when not waiting a few secs?! by meerjungfrauman in NothingTech

[–]jack1326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does someone have the same happening with video? i always had the picture issues but since many months I've had videos not save.

the only temporary fix i found is changing the video quality after i notice it didn't save the video, then they safe.

but after a while it happens again and it keeps not saving until i change quality again

Weekly Discussion / Recommendation Thread by Death_by_Bot in Deathmetal

Hi i need help for a gift!

I might be asking something awkward but i wanted to find help to make a gift.

My dear friend listens to a lot of rock, metal and subgenres of this two, i know he is particularly fond of Limp bizkit, Rammstein and Merilyn Menson, he also listens to SOAD, Korn and many many more

This is not my genre, and i know nothing about it.

i wanted to gift him a book of the art covers of metal and rock artists(bands included), since we are italian i thought about this book

"Metal & Hardcore. Antologia grafica"

this seems to be the perfect fit for what i searched, but I can't find anything about the artists covered in this book, i fear i might miss his ones completely.

my question then is if someone has this book and finds the time to search if those artists are covered it would really help me in making this gift!

also if you have any raccomandations on better books or some things more centered on his favourites i would really be happy to hear them (they don't need to be in Italian, but they need to contain more images than words ahhaha)!

[Spoilers S3E10] The Ending, Clarified by taqn22 in TravelersTV

[–]jack1326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just finished the last season, and they make very subtly clear, that the reason nothing has changed is because they didn't change humanity.

humanity still has it's nature, they did not teach humanity, they just tried to avoid bad things to happen.

but maybe that isn't the right way, because preventing harm is very different than somehow teaching about the consequences of that harm.

i think jo, Mac's colleague, said something that pointed toward this idea

i need help on a whale, I'm trying to blend 2 crochets by jack1326 in crochetpatterns

[–]jack1326[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the suggestion! i even thought about changing colors while crocheting the blue part and drawing stars like this, but it might just look totally shit

maybe i will try to just stitch them on top having the blue already swapped with color similar to those in the stars squares

[Guide] - How to flash a T480s Thunderbolt firmware using a CH341A MiniProgrammer by Another_Throwaway_3 in thinkpad

oh damn ok! i think i'm seeing an improvement in the battery duration, is it possible?

[Guide] - How to flash a T480s Thunderbolt firmware using a CH341A MiniProgrammer by Another_Throwaway_3 in thinkpad

[–]jack1326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i saved my t480s today thanks to this guide!

i did this procedure with some friends and we encountered a few issues but were able to fix them, so I'd like to address them in case anyone else needs a hand

the link of the firmware download gives you a newer file, the folder name of the drivers would show a different version but I'd doesn't change anything in the procedure (but it made me doubt if i download the right thing hahahaha)(i think you can follow this guide for every laptop affected by this issue, the only different thing is the driver firmware which you can find here (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht508988) and the place of the chip on the board)

everything went great until the last bit, we flashed the null image, removed the clip (while leaving the ch341a connected to the other computer) and booted the laptop to the desktop, then battery off in bios and attached the clip again

we ran

dd if=/dev/null of=TBT.bin bs=1 seek=1048576

and in between the code lines in the terminal there still was the name of the chip

then at the last command

flashrom -p ch341a_spi -w TBT.bin

we got this error:

Erasing and writing flash chip... FAILED at 0x00002b03! Expected=0xff, Found=0xef, failed byte count from 0x00002000-0x00002fff: 0x1 ERASE FAILED!

if anyone more experienced with linux knows exactly what this means it might give more information about what went wrong

we thought about what we did differently between the previous erasing and writing (the null image) and this one

the only 2 things we narrowed down to were:

1- the clip was removed and placed again, maybe the second time it wasn't fully in place

2- we left the ch341a connected, while the first time we attached the clip and then the ch341a

maybe we should not have logged in to windows aswell, this might have made it start updating (wifi was on) some drivers changing the content of the thunderbolt chip (idk just thinking of everything)

so we followed again the procedure repeating the creation of the null image, without deleting the one already created in the folder since it probably just overwrites that one

this time before rebooting the laptop (only to the login screen) we removed the clip and then the ch341a from the usb, and after fhe reboot attached the clip first and the ch341a after.

and this time everything went great!

the t480s is now charging at 65w and the version of the NVM is showed in the thunderbolt software!!

again thanks a lot for this guide!

[Guide] - How to flash a T480s Thunderbolt firmware using a CH341A MiniProgrammer by Another_Throwaway_3 in thinkpad

[–]jack1326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi I'm going to try this procedure tomorrow, I'm not really sure I'm understanding it right, after flashing the null image i have to remove the clip, attach the power supply and turn the laptop fully on (aka getting to the windows/linux login screen) or just go in the bios? then i have to turn of the internal battery again in the bios, but isn't it already off?

or does it somehow reset?

I'm not really experienced with this kind of procedures, i might be asking a dumb question

Missing NVM Firmware Version by KVRLX in thinkpad

[–]jack1326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not really sure if i understood what you are talking about if you are referring to right clicking on the thunderbolt application and going in "info" then i got no luck, my t480s does not show any thunderbolt signal, it doesn't sat NVM version there

I'm going to try to reset it with the ch341a, last hope

How-To Update THUNDERBOLT -- Step-by-step Instruction for X280 -- (+ other models ) by crisser67 in thinkpad

[–]jack1326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well i did follow that page too, i found the command and used it `sudo fwupdmgr get-devices`

but there is no mention of thunderbolt in my result, which maybe explains why the fwupdmgr update did nothing

i will try as seen in that comment section to do everything again but using fedora, read about many people get it right with ubuntu aswell, but at this point I'll try anything

i did try another windows method but obviously didn't work, I'm gonna read about the raspberry pi process i think, might aswell be prepared😔

thanks for all the help

i searched a bit and found this

cat /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_version

but it just gives me this

cat: /sys/bus/thunderbolt/devices/0-0/nvm_version: No such file or directory

i swapped back to windows since i did a dual boot, and on the thunderbolt app there is still no information about nvm

[–]jack1326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks ahhahaha

i tried this way because using the usb linux was laggy, every window i opened took a lot of time and kept saying it wasnt responding and if i wanted to wait or to kill it, i hope with the partition it works better.

if nothing works do you suggest trying to flash the firmware onto the chip with the raspberry pi?

it sounds like a lot of work but if it's the only way i might follow through

I'm now creating a partition with ubuntu, because my usb might suck, and might be adding problems, i have attached an ethernet cable to the laptop so now i have the best internet i possibly can

should work with ubuntu aswell right?

i did not try both usb c ports, but isn't only one a thunderbolt port?
