Venue probly if its gaytrail

Can power-vol down make it into flash ?

I've put it between two books so that the power button gets constant pressure so that it turns on the screen to show the battery warning every few seconds

I'll go for deep discharge

No I tried everything like that

It does go into flash but I don't see the screen and it doesn't take any input

If I plug it into the computer via USB, I can't write to the device either

The owner fiddled with the bios to install Linux and now it's ded

Aww shuck

Aint dells configed to autoupdate from usb stick ?

I mean throw new fimware at it

It shouls auto-process it as far as i know

And ofc in process reset bios

I believe dell has their own image for just bios resetting tablets

Due that

So if youbare lucky and that tablet supports fw update/reset vbios tool

Interesting, let me check that

But, I think he disabled the USB controller, too

Because nothing else boots

Probly under some name like "bios recovery 6264819"

Bios should still check for update even tho its "disabled"

As its part of self-check

And self preservation code incase idiots like ex user of that tablet

That repair technicians have some chance

I managed to get it down to 4%

Let's see if deep discharge is the key for now

I can still try that one later

It's losing about 1%/hour

hw do u check the batt

Rip battery

Lipo terrorist cell

i doubt it's going to work because there's probably a cmos battery in there

∆

I doubt there is one, it's way too thin to fit a button cell + Mainboard + screen

@whodun1t when the battery is below 5%, the screen turns on and shows "Low batter N %" for a few seconds

All it need is small corner somewhere

This seems to happen before loading BIOS

i've seen coincells thinner than a die+substrate

that are just soldered straight to the board

How long would such cell even last?

few years probably

a quick google puts it at 10% in 5 years

self discharge

as long as the board has power it shouldn't be drawing any power from the battery

I mean cr927 can hold bios for yeat if not more if properly implemented

if you can work out the device type you can just rip it open and disconnect the battery

and not bother with this discharge shit

yeah like i said, take the screen off

you probably need a heat gun

look up screen replacement tutorials

out of the dell tabs the smaller ones (venue8pro) doesn't have a BIOS battery but the larger ones (venue11/pro) does

might not even to

depending on the unit

actually since it's dell

can you tell me the service tag?

This reminds mw from story of <certain large hardware manufacturer who definetly does not make weapons too> used bake in pcb coin cells to keep system settings no matter what

Was bicht to reverse engineer

are you sure it's a single frame case, because all videos I find on the internet just pop the rear cover off

Can anyone recommend me a portable dac capable of driving 300 ohm speakers? Got hd600's and /hpg/ is useless

>/hpg/ is useless

When was it ever useful

Just like /mkg/

@totally not Cthulhu 🐙 throw a budget for that

before someone drops professional gear

@Tervy for a portable dac? Under 300 would be preferred. Only ones I find aren't in range or not in stock

powerbank + something like schiits Fulla ?

150 usd total if you can find the fulla anywhere

afaik fulla drives itself from usb ?

it would be "portable" but bulky as fuck

makes me wonder if your casual Fiio could drive those cans

Yeah there was a fiio. The e12 Mont Blanc.

A5 can drive up to 300 but I thought you'd want it to be a little higher than the head phone

if tis marked 300 it most likely will be some bit under it

just so 300ohm drivers can drive it as its marked 300

at least most electronics are built like that

dunno accurately incase of dacs/headphones

Creative Sound Blaster E5- yay or nay @Tervy

@totally not Cthulhu 🐙 300 ohm speakers?

oh

you mean headphones

lol

i mean

how loud do you want to go

i could drive hd 600 fine from my phonbe

id say listen to bentech

hes smart

@bentech all yours

@totally not Cthulhu 🐙 e5 looks ok lllol

or look at the fiio stuff

really anything should work

what do you mean by portable dac though?

like phone usage?

if so you need to be careful

speaking of bentechs knowledge

nitecore LR12 ? any better twistys ?

It's not loud that I'm really looking for. I have an iPod for music and if I plug in a 100 dollar headset or the Sennheiser's, they sound they same. I just assume having a headphone amp would improve the hd600s to where they don't compare to a gaymers headset

@bentech

@Tervy prob not, everything nitecore does is solid anyway

@totally not Cthulhu 🐙 eh I wouldn't expect it to sound that much better

Reee.

Thought these were supposed to be great or do I have plebian ears?

they are good

just througuly underwhelming

lol

give it a week or two

if you mostly just listen wtih a ipod, just buy a fiio DAP or something if you want a sound upgrade

that and oyu can use it as a dac as well lol

why do you want a twisty light anyway?

to car bag

-(not for me)

tow truck driver bro

oh do u just mean like a general lantern light

i'd just go for any 18650 flashlight and get a diffuser for it lol

maybe a light with a magnet is useful so you can stick it to the hood

or somethin

nah that twisty mechanic is optimal for messaging too so i might get one to myself troo

separate diffusers just to tend to be PITA

ye

ye i cant rthink nf anytihng like it

separate diffusers are just always lost when you suddently need em

ye

just this morning i could have had some use for one when i was helping people out who were stuck in snow

lr12 is 38$ on banggood if you don't mind waiting lol

does not sound that bad (and like i care about waiting :P

ye nothing like it lol

im kinda tempted tbh

makes even better EDC light tbh than many other

considering enough power (1000LM) single 18650 and diffuser always with you

yeah

and apparently non-pwm too

so no problem with messaging due persistence of vision fucks up movement on many pwm lights

all it really is missing is SOS function with that beacon

eww pwm

What's wrong with pulse width?

I work with it all the time.

"pwm flicker"

and thjje hum

i dont mind it on budget flashlights but past 20$ no

gotta admit i really want the nitecore tm10k

just for the relaly cute

10000 lumens!!

and it looks like silly cannon

to strap on your mech as launcher

other than (usualy low control rate on pwm setups and headache caused by it) there is nothing "bad" on it

Oh you guys mean for lights. I use it in alot of Controls

yeah pretty much

yeah for lights

ofc for motors its normal shit

They use sound waves to map the finger print apparently
So finally in-built fingerprint reader

I'm cautiously optimistic

>sudo apt install akregator

i don't think so, KDEJEWS

the day I install akonadi is the day I get on HRT

@Krieger The Viking Plague Doctor how much will it be at launch?

i can't imagine justifying paying the samsung flagship premium

Not sure. It's samsung throwing in a bunch of weird shit so I'd wager at least (aussie dollars) 1400

I'm very surprised they fit 6 sensors and cameras from the front into that tiny hole

Well 5 sensors plus a camera

am i only one who actualy wants bezels on their phone

does it have the IR blaster on it so I can turn off the BIG GAME at the bar and get my asshole bulliied by chad and tyrone?

Talking about the front IR camera?

>ir blaster >current gen phones

infrared

ahahhaha

Yeah it's built into the same pinhole as the camera

i could never think of a utility for the IR blaster besides being a cunt at bars

What I'm annoyed about is they shaved so much bezel off the top but they seem really incapable of doing it to the bottom

controlling your whole IT-ecosystem ?

i mean i can ir-blast all my monitors,tv,desktop pc(adapter or monitor link)

any IoT shit can be tuned to listen IR(pretty much)

also some cars used to have IR-receiver for stuff

does microcontroller shit ship with an adapter or do you buy it seperately?

these days bluetooth is mostly replaced it tho its just not that secure due LoS brings additional layer of protection for IR

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HX1838-5V-Infrared-Remote-Control-Module-IR-Receiver-Module-DIY-Kit-with-external-microcontroller-I-O/32872712488.html? on quick ali search

tho these days https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Arrival-Universal-IR-Infrared-Remote-Control-TV-STB-DVD-Household-Appliances-For-Phones-Drop-Ship/32905601317.html? just getting these instead of supporting phone is better option anyway (or similar products)

Let's be honest guys

yeah. idk I never got into IoT. the work/reward ratio of making my doorbell text me seemed not so worth it

We're not interesting at all for hackers to target us through IR

considering some people have 4-6 different remotes for their hometheatre

and proper IR-blaster+phone can take over all of that

@Stims indeed thats not worth it ? but automaticly slowly ramping up your light when you stop your phones alarm ?

you need physical access to 'hack' IR

or killing your lights when you leave your house

Why not just remember to turn off the light switch?

making sure that door is shut/oven is not on when you think "did i lock the door"

iot should be for all that usefull shit instead of "we message you with ~~advertisement~~ your shitty shit from fridge just due you bought our frige model"

it does not even need app tho

simple website to show your statistics/remote stuff is easily done with just esp-32~

but yeah some people see the use of IoT and some people see the use for "smart features prebuild"

if i had more time i bet my lights would be more automated in this apartment

binding alarm clock to roof ligth , kill all lights when im out of the apartment, that darn remote checking for front foor/oven

ofc proper info dashboard website (probly something like heimdall on steroids

>hold on, I have to ssh into my apartment

idk I don't really mind turning lights on/off

not even ssh just login via your htaccess and you can do all on website really

i can't justify not doing that kind of stuff. maybe i'm just lazy/stupid

electronics and stuff is hobby/work for many who dip in them

rest use those "smart devices"

My face recognition camera has an ir blaster next to it

Could it be used to operate tv's and such?

if you can get access to that ir-led with app

sure

"universal remote" apps

Don't think I can

anymote is probly the first things id test

Not sure if its a setting I am missing

hell you could control your air conditioner and DSLRs with same thing

but yeah ir-led sadly aint same as IR-Blaster in most cases

ir-blaster being more powerfull led usualy

@Deleted User what phone

so

whats the non-meme reason for Red Hat/Canonical's hard on for Gnome?

gnome sucks my penor in every way I can imagine

why not ? if it works and has better support than others ? why switch

and switching whole codebase to some random new thing from gnome would take years

and introduce many bugs

and possible breaks we havent heard of on production side of things

just making all the tutorials,training videos etc broken by switching to different thing would break and lose many customers

@Tervy pocophone

yeah but you can use inertia to justify any stagnation.

the cost of moving from fax to email in the business environment was probably very high

most likely said move brought more benefit than costs

unlike breaking workflow and visual look of thousands and thousands of users

ye

@Deleted User did some digging and apparently the porcophones "ir" led is only used for facial rego and does not provice actual IR-port option out of the box

BUT if you contact some custom rom nerds i bet enabling that IR-led hardware to send user-controlled pulses can be done (on side note apparently lineage os has yet to get that ir-camera working properly but dunno if that is camera + led or just the camera controls what are buggy currently)

and as its not "proper Blaster" more like wide angle smd led its range can be low

Yeah I noticed it burning when i did the face rego

I'll probably just keep one of those .40$ pins around. Also makes for a nice gift

>linux is awful on HiDpi 4k screens

why didn't anyone tell me this

it's not?

solus has great HiDpi scaling

KDE and kwin in general have the best hidpi support

kwin is the only one with proper fractional scaling

"its not bad, its unimplemented"
