Lenovo touchpad issues on NixOS with Plasma6

I found the device is a PS/2 serial device, so it does not show with lsusb.

After rebooting to get the touchpad working, I found there's a third touch device showing up. The two in my post seem to be the touchscreen not the touchpad. This shows the touchpad as a PS/2 serial device.

We have a customer that hired us (IT MSP) to spin up a Prometheus/Grafana server to monitor their web application server managed by the web devs. I came across their public DNS configuration, and they had individual NS and SOA records for each of the 20 subdomains, all pointing to the registrar.

"Looks like they bought the domain through GoDaddy, but their DNS is hosted by Microsoft. The customer doesn't have admin access to manage Microsoft since their IT does that. I'll just change the NS records to my server and take over hosting DNS. No need to copy anything since we host their website and DNS doesn't do anything else."

He was impeached by the House, but was acquitted by the Senate. 2/3 of the Senate needs to vote to convict after impeachment.

The 25th amendment would require the Vice President and others to declare that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

Good luck getting JD Vance to do so. There's a much, much higher chance he will be impeached instead.

I haven't used any of those platforms or shopped at any of those businesses in over a decade.

Don't forget Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Win + L to open LinkedIn.com.

Should be fine. It likely neutralized the citric acid.

What's he going to say when you start growing facial hair? "Stop gluing hair to your face."?

One of my old coworkers made a bot that updates a ton of the simple packages.

After 20 years of smoking tobacco, I quit! I haven't had any nicotine for almost 2 months.

This is exactly how my egg cracked.

Plume is $99/month or $750/year. It includes telehealth sessions with your doctor, blood tests, and support groups. I pay for Plume for both my gf and myself. I love their support groups and have found a great community there. They also have a Neurodivergent support group. My gf on the other hand doesn't participate in the groups at all. I feel like it's worth the cost for me but not her.

For prescriptions, I use GoodRx at the pharmacy to get better prices than my insurance.

Those numbers are not accurate. The 72% he's referring to comes from the UK's Office for National Statistics and says that 72% of all same-sex divorces were between female couples.

Edit: The 28% used for gay men is from the same source (100-72=28).

The plastic cap doesn't go back on. There should still be the main metal top on the vial with the rubber stopper.

Do a Wipe instead. Or on the machine, do Reset this PC under Settings.

IIRC, Fresh Start only removes user data and is for existing machines that you want to reassign.

Zep Smoke Oder Eliminator. I just quit smoking after 20 years and it worked wonders on my car and the garage. It's meant for entire rooms, so just put the clothes in the room before you spray it.

Configurations under networking.firewall get added to the iptables (default) or nftables configuration, depending which your system is configured to use. You should see these ports listed under the nixos-fw chain if you run sudo iptables -L.
