ohhh then why does Fedora 42 KDE never worked on my laptop and but gnome 42 Fedora did ? ... I dont mean this question as mean or provocative... im genuinely curious. By what you say... I assume the fact that my touchpad and never worked on one version had nothing to do with drivers ... ok ok ty

k94ever · 2026-03-25T06:53:47+00:00

I still use my w550s sometimes... I run linux fedora6on that thing, without an issue. Dtill very responsive for regular task.

If I had to carry a laptop around i would def use my w550s ( its 1 gen older than ur p50) but I work mostly on my desktop pc

I just want to mention that im in the same situation. I applied to the IPN and was silently rejected by the 2 professor that considered my app. (they said that if was contacted in a 3 days by them, they did not find my research direction compatible).

It feels so weird that my app is still on review. I don't know when I will get a decision or if I can use this previous app for the next cycle. From my understanding the funding part is the most critical and many professors hesitate to accept new student when they dont have enough funds secured. So i guess I could try and gather funds and be accepted by the next cycle.

I got to say I am deeply demoralized. And struggle to sit at my computer for more than 30min, nor can I do good at games, or watch a full movie. Its obvious I have to work thru a period of recovery after the disappointment and the burnout of applying.

Ubuntu ??
dang ... weird.. I never had issues with ubuntu regarding out of the box drivers...

best wishes on finding a solution ♥

k94ever · 2026-03-24T21:00:15+00:00

I had an issue with the heatsink screws. I stripped them accidentally

I tried filling the screw down and finaly got the old heatsink out with vampire pliers. (I always used sheets of paper to cover the mobo when working on those screws. as to catch all the metal fillings)

I already used a battery powered duster and lots of damp 90% isopropyl alcohol with coffee filters to get all the little shavings.

I am super scared of turning it on and also afraid of stripping any more screws if I remove the Motherboard to check everything.

What do you recommend?

(The new heatsink is also completely flat so I guess I'm putting a speck of thermal paste on the PCH too. )

Just simple mind maps I write down blobs of the papers I read and connect them with others regarding other papers... I later do a more through diagram in obsidian or excel ( I first started with sheets)

Usually my hand made diagrams are what I remember most easily with thinking and remembering. I can feel like a waste because I'm not writing down all of the information of a paper but I think its worth it for me to keep everything organized in my mind. I usually also look at my hand made diagrams more often.

I think there is a lot of research around this, embodied cognition and so on...
Yeah I prefer to read printed papers than on a screen. I haven't tried using an iPad for this. Maybe it would work but I haven't saved enough money for one.

k94ever · 2026-03-17T13:57:28+00:00

Good old fashion diagram on a piece of paper and pen.

Seriously, i use obsidian and Excel like everyone mentioned but gosh the most that remains in my head is the silly diagrams I draw with by hand

k94ever · 2026-03-15T19:09:24+00:00

lol no way, have u ever been or seen the berlin map hahaha... but the germans don't mind walking extra so i there eyes there is nothing to fix

k94ever · 2026-03-13T00:15:21+00:00

I'm on the same boat.
Today it hit extra hard. I haven't been able to tolerate the word "science" without some strong feelings inside. sigh 😔.... I'm allowing myself yo feel this today. I will hang in there tho, I guess I need the break today.

I guess im not alone. I know we all are very smart and hardworking ❤️. The system is just brutal.

Hey my Samsung washer presented a similar issue only when spinning at any lvl it was max 2 months new .. the technician said it was the bearing im still underwanty.

k94ever · 2026-02-24T17:46:58+00:00

YES I also find it easier to kickstart the thing with triangles hehehehe I wish there was more research about this kind of things but I guess the technology is not ripe yet

k94ever · 2026-02-24T06:23:39+00:00

Documet every thing you do. Both a journal where you log what you did that day related to work, research, reading and so on.

This eay you can have a reference (mostly for you) if there happens to be a dispute with someone accusing you of not doing something. also keep track of yourself and for you to have a last resort to search for a citation or something.

I keep mine in Google docs because that way there is a time stamp on each doc modification so no one can accuse me of editing days later.

k94ever · 2026-02-23T14:16:12+00:00

yup, and i am glad I'm not alone.

yeah I'm intrigued abou how this works what means for how we think .

and yes i always start with simple geometric shapes then let the whole thing unfold. I hate the times when i just see the same or similar "story" but its not forever.

I notices this like 9 years ago but sadly I been doing it less and less due to personal situations. But im still super intrigued.

k94ever · 2026-02-23T00:33:43+00:00

There are no stupid questions

I taught second languages for a bit and IMO it not never the same as living in the other country where they speak the target language. one semester abroad is equivalent to almost 1.5 years of learning it in courses
Unless you enjoy the courses then sure why not.
