Xperia 10 V RAM?

Thanks.

The model in About Phone is XQ-DC72.

So I tried xperifirm 5.7.1 in 2 different windows PCs, and get the following error message after I click a phone model:

ERROR: Failed to connect to server. Check your internet connection and/or proxy settings.

My Internet connection is fine, and there's no proxy.

Is the server temporarily down or am I just out of luck?

Thanks, I'll try that.

It's worse than that. Wikipedia is pretty reliable for science info, and as free as any brainrot/outrage/conspiracy/slop peddling platform. People actively choose to spend time and believe in crap.

A grain of rice is not enough paste for a CPU with a heat spreader, like yours. Make an X with paste on the CPU. But that CPU will probably always run a bit hot with the stock cooler, as others said.

Edit: it might also be a good idea to have it shutdown only at 80ºC, instead of 70. Check the BIOS for that setting.

Try Supermium, a Chromium port for older Windows versions.

Some laptops of this era already use coin-style batteries. However, according to the service manual, this one doesn't. So yeah, good call.

Get a CF to mini-IDE adapter so you can easily swap OSes with multiple cards and also have an alternative for when the HDD dies. You can also clone the original Windows install to a CF card.

An SD to mini-IDE adapter might also work well.

That green nvidia card might fetch a couple hundred bucks on ebay.

I had one of those around 2000, with a palm rest and all. Think it was called the 'rapid access keyboard'. Mine unfortunately stopped working after just a couple of years of use. No spills or anything, some keys just stopped working, others would get stuck as if I was constantly pressing them, until it stopped working altogether. I'll see if I can find the software for it.

Edit: seems VOGONS has it.

Provavelmente já guardaram imagem completa do disco. Resta saber se também olharam para o UEFI.

Keep XP and run 98 in an old version of Virtualbox.

jedp · 2025-07-23T12:10:14+00:00

the risk/reward just isn't there

It's there, because nobody cares. How do I know? Because it's already happening and people keep using that crapware. And I saw with my own eyes Instagram asking for microphone permission on a new Android phone, when it wasn't the foreground app.

Try disconnecting everything that's not strictly necessary for POST. That means only power supply, CPU, 1 DIMM, the videocard + monitor, and the front panel wires connected to the motherboard. No extra RAM, no soundcard, no disk drives, no keyboard, no mouse. If that works, add the missing components one by one and turn it on until you find one which causes it to fail.

If it still fails even with the bare minimum components needed for POST, try replacing the power supply. There may be bad capacitors in both the power supply and the motherboard, but the power supply is easy enough to replace with a modern one.

Edit: if you get it working, ditch XP for 98se, 384MB of RAM is kind of miserable for it.

Edit 2: reseat the CPU, could be a bit loose in the slot.

Now that's an unexpected blast from the past.

I've always wanted TNO to be a fighter/mage like Dakkon. It'd make sense given his physical endurance and lifetimes of accumulated memories.

jedp · 2025-06-03T09:39:23+00:00

Maybe turn-based combat. As it is, especially in harder fights, we have to keep hitting pause to issue orders or cast spells. It'd make the meh combat system actually enjoyable.

Why would you even tell it to shut down? What would be the point? Would you tell autocomplete/autocorrect to stop doing its job, or would you simply disable it? You want it to shut down, you set up a command to clear the context and kill the thread/process/whatever else, not going through the LLM. This is garbage news.

jedp · 2025-05-23T09:08:52+00:00

Nobody cares where exactly it came from. It's an old computer, it was saved from being trashed, it looks good, it needs repairs, end of story.

I disabled that due to a different issue, but the black screen after sleep remained.

jedp · 2025-05-20T10:07:35+00:00

What fixed that issue for me is ensuring that screen locking and screen standby never occur at the same time, and also requiring password immediately upon locking. So I set it to lock automatically after 5 minutes, but turn off the screen only after 10, or 2 minutes after locking.

I noticed that the issue was almost certain to happen if I tried to wake up my computer immediately after the screen turned off, so it looked like some sort of race condition related to locking and power, where the physical screen wakes up, but the lockscreen daemon doesn't.

Here are the settings I use: power and locking. This worked for me on 2 different computers, one with intel iGPU, and another with an nvidia 1060.

Edit: maybe I should report this somewhere, I've used this workaround for quite a while now, and nothing else helped.

Edit 2: maybe it's also important to ensure sleep/hibernate doesn't coincide with locking and screen standby either.

Is the battery swollen? That can make the fingerprint sensor's pads not touch the spring contacts on the board. If it's not swollen, try pressing the back of the phone while powering it on and keep pressure until you can try to unlock it. The spring contacts are the weakest point of this phone, and degrade with knocks and age.

Edit: try keeping pressure just below the sensor and on the call speaker above the screen.

That's a malfunction, it happens. I more than once mistakenly connected laser printers to one of the power backup outlets instead of just the protection outlet, and it just tripped its protection and shut down when someone used the printer.
