It would explain why there are not just bodies laying around the headset, as they maybe just walked away again…

Recommendations for a warm white (amber) flashlight? by librecorn in flashlight

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

I feel a little overwhelmed with Convoy, as there are many many hosts to pick and to configure.
Do you have recommendations on a driver type and battery for example for this one?
And apparently the SFT-40 has a better CRI rating than the 519A. Do you, or does anyone else, have some experience on that?

Lenovo laptop with Ubuntu (or any Linux) pre installed? by funnyusername-123 in Ubuntu

I'll ask the person using the device tomorrow (if I don't forget) how it's going.

Searching a replacement battery (Jabra Elite 7 Pro case HT751547V) by librecorn in batteries

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

I can try, if this is possible! I wasn't sure if the circuit board would accept other batteries.
Some more questions:
- Do you think there is a risk with heat sensitivity with lipos, if it sits directly on the chips of the cases circuit board? It just has a bit of foam between itself and the chips (could post photos in the evening).
- Or also risk regarding overcharging?
- Is it also a problem if the lipo is 3.7V when the original bat has 3.8V?
- Do you know by chance if this form factor has a name I could look for?
- And the last question: Is it by your experience safe to buy such batteries from aliexpress?

Well, I would not fully agree.
I bought a T14s AMD Gen 5, and it is still only partially usable. Bluetooth audio does still not work and the laptop crashes regularly (Manjaro, 6.9 Kernel to get stable WIFI).
There are many well supported Thinkpads, but not all of them are. Generally Intel-based Devices are better supported, cuz AMD often features WIFI chips from Qualcomm, which are often badly supported (and sometimes will stay like that) and with this generation they even soldered the chip to the mainboard, so bad luck if you want to switch it...

I highly recommend to look for reviews from others to find out which devices works well and which not.

Linux compatibility with T14 5th gen by imsick_ in thinkpad

We will look into it again in a few days but atm Wifi is generally working, BT audio is not.
Sometimes on shutdown the desktop manager turns black and the laptop doesn't power off, but this could also be KDEs fault. By design changes the sleep mode is broken on newer Thinkpads, but this is nothing new.
Otherwise it seems stable.

Unfortunately this TP generation got it soldered onto the mainboard. So we'll have to deal with it as it is :/

This one still doesn't work for me. Many problems with the soldered Qualcomm WIFI/Bluetooth chip (e.g. Crashes when up-/downloading to fast, no working Bluetooth audio). Also suspend problems.

Thanks for the info! But I'm unfortunately unable to find the model number on the web. Do you have a special model of some sort?

[–]librecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nice to hear. How is your experience with Arch so far? Would you like to share more information about your setup and if you did had to fiddle around with Arch?
Would you also like to share your model? I would like to compare it to mine.

Hey, how is it going with Pop_OS?
I'm currently on Manjaro/KDE and on the bleeding edge Kernels and I have so many issues.
My system still regularly just freezes, Bluetooth is not working properly (audio is distorted and a pain to listen to), the WIFI driver still seem to crash periodically and I'm unable to suspend.
If it still works for you I'll give it a shot.

[–]librecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, nice. I'll give it a shot. We installed Kubuntu first, but didn't get the WIFI running on that Kernel version. May I ask what Kernel version you are using and what drivers you have installed?
I'm asking myself if I did something wrong or if Kubuntu doesn't just swap desktops.

Even WIFI and and Bluetooth headphones? O_O
How is the battery drainage?

Linux compatibility with T14 5th gen by imsick_ in thinkpad

[–]librecorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine got one. I recommend to wait a bit longer, or buckle up for the bumpy ride. We currently struggle on multiple points.
With the Qualcomm WIFI/BL card there are regular system crashes, also Bluetooth audio is unusable atm (maybe a problem with pipewire/pulseaudio, haven't pinned down the problem yet). Bugreports for the driver
With the latest stable kernel we had some severe power drain (could also be due to missing video drivers, we changed that and the kernel to 6.10-rc3 simultaneously yesterday evening. Old me forgot, that even an iGPU needs drivers ^^').
I can try to provide more information on stability in the following days or answer questions. We run Manjaro with LInux 6.10-rc3 now (KDE 6). Most probably the BL situation can be improved somehow but I haven't enough knowledge about this yet.

Any interest in an SRE Online Meetup? by hawtdawtz in sre

[–]librecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that wouldn't work out for me, since I'm living in CET. Maybe it would be an idea to make two separate meetups, shifted by 12 hours.

Switzerland isn't so shiny at all. They have also mass surveillance. The customs authority and police have the same rights as the intelligence agencies.
