I'm going to install it tomorrow on my old Thinkpad E540. Any last minute advice before I do it? I like the idea of ZFS and I hope it'll be stable and I hope the upgrades will be stable.
>>107798407Do you have two hard drives? If not why use zfs? i have done freebsd on a done drive system before and usually stick to ufs unless i have the two drives for a mirror setup.
Linux is significantly faster on hardware that old.I don't know about freebsd, but I ran openbsd on a slightly older poverty tier thinkpad for a couple years and it was atrociously slow for doing anything modern, like web browsing for instance. It's night and day difference on Linux. But, freebsed is much better in this regard I imagine.

A bit of a general question, but why is the tech market so "winner takes it all" like? It has not always been this way, back in the day (00s to early 10s) one social media, dating or messaging platform replaced the other within 2-3 years.Nowadays, even non community apps which are super easy to copy, are being enshittificated with no replacement popping up. I am talking about Komoot, Duolingo and the likes.I understand for stuff like Hyperscalers the CapEx is too high, so there will NEVER be a European AWS/GCP/Azure (or ChatGPT/Gemini). But how come even small fucking apps like that cannot be copied and improved?
>>107798268It still happens with new technologies. Zuck and friends have scraped Reddit, 4chan and torrented every book ever written for their AIs (along with scientific papers from sci-hub etc). If you try to pull that off as an individual, you will end up like Aaron Schwartz

>>107797503>Have you ever done any thermal mods for any heatsinks? For instance, have you glued any copper heatsinks to the stock heatsink and does any of it actually help with thermals permanently? I have not but I've soldered a few heat pipes that came loose. Problem with all these mods is that you don't have much space and the biggest issue is actually getting the heat out of the laptop itself. If you want to experiment, upgrade your fans.Best bang for the buck when it comes to laptop thermals is switching from paste to a honeywell thermal pad. You don't have to change your paste after that mode. Also, adding themal pads on some of the ICs might help but only if you have a metal-framed laptop.And I don't think I should mention this but fans should be dust-free. Open your laptop at least once every 3 months and dust it off. Just spraying canned air through openings is not as effective as opening and cleaning from the inside.>Which thinkpad models would you say are the worst designed ones and why?There's too many to count. In Lenovo's line, there were so many duds. The first one that comes to mind is T14 Gen 1 simply because I think I've repaired over 50 of them and they had the same issue.. dead ECs. Lots of T490s too. A 15 cent diode could have prevented it. Lots of L series had the same issue... L390, L490.>>107797547>>107797661>>107797743My guess would have been one of the Intel AX200 since that was in a ton of IdeaPads and it works well.

>>107797944>My soldering station is the same as yours, but with another brand name.I have a few. When it comes to soldering stations, don't spend a lot of money on it. Spend money on a hot air station. I use a hot air station 85% of the time. You also need a good DMM and a programmable power supply. Not to mention a microscope or some kind.>What kind of jobs are the most common for notebook repair? Broken ports, liquid damage, dead caps, dead ICs, broken screens, hinges. Stuff like that.>I've done that for family and friends but I never did motherboard repair. I feel scared of doing it professionally if I only know the more basic stuff, even if most of the time that's been the problem.Start like I did. Buy broken stuff on eBay or Craigslist (or whatever is popular around you), try to fix it and flip it. You will learn quickly and confidence will grow with knowledge you acquire.>Also how do you repair keyboards on the ideapad and I think the newer thinkpads, the ones with fused keyboards? Is it viable in your country to buy the whole top carcass? In here that's ridiculously expensive so I get just the keyboard itself and glue it to the old chassis.I don't repair that stuff. I just do a top case assembly replacement. No one would pay for my time to remove all those welded rivets and the keyboard would never feel the same after anyway. Like so many things today, they're not meant to be repaired. One time a customer did bring me his laptop the same day he spilled soda over it and I did save the keyboard by putting it in an ultrasonic cleaner with hot water for 15 minutes and then I rinsed it and let it dry for 2 days. That worked well. But if you leave it for even a day, it will corrode the traces.>Have you ever done battery repair? I've been looking into recelling my battery for a while.Yes but only for friends and long-time customers who specifically asked me to fix it. I don't do it because of liability.
>>107798125I'm too amateur to have some of the fancy toys. So no hot air station or microscope for me. I have a cheapo digital multimeter and a power supply (goes up to 30 V at 10 A) I quite like that thing, even if most uses are for some heavier stuff. Only does straight DC, though, no signal generator. I also have a handheld oscilloscope, needed one for a job a while ago and wasn't at a spot where I could get a proper bench top unit.>dead caps and ICsThose I don't touch cause no hot air.>liquid damageAs in the traces themselves corroded to shit so you gotta retrace it with wire and that UV solder mask goop?>flipping shit off of eBay and CraigslistThose are shit in here but we have our local alternatives, I keep an eye on them on occasion. Hopefully this year I'll get to do more of that since I finished some big project last year and should have more time now...Which brings me to the battery repair. I got a x230 a while ago, cleaned it up, upgraded it and now it's my on the go computer, love that thing, real portable and easy to carry around. Problem is the battery. I've seen around here that the BMS might die if it gets disconnected from the battery the wrong way and since it's an older model with the original battery, I don't want to ruin it and have to order some chink replacement, I gotta do it right the first time. Can you teach us how to do it? There was some anon in this threads that wanted to build a website with this sort of info for the x220 I think, but then he disappeared and I never seen him again.

stop doing that?go through the code again and try to understand what it does, change values and move things around to see what it does and if/how it breaks

>>107798413>I DIDN'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AT ALL! I just copypasted shit.The way to follow a tutorial is to think about and try to understand every line you're given.

Don't copy the next line until you've understood the current one.Now go back and do it all again, properly this time.>The math involved looks like fucking aliens I swear.Learn the math involved.

Logitech seems to have discontinued the online software that was used to program Harmony remotes (https://harmonyremote.com/), so these pieces of shit are now as good as paperweights. Granted, the software was crappy and very annoying to use even when it worked, but there doesn't seem to be many alternatives to these pieces of shit unless you go into some extremely expensive professional AV system control panels or something.Harmony 525 at least seems to be built around PIC18LF4550 microcontroller, Spansion FL004A flash and 74374 Octal D-Type Flip-Flop, but the LCD used isn't labeled and it would probably be quite an effort to write a new firmware.Guess the best option is to start building some kind of ESP8266 thing that can blast IR codes and be controlled by shitphone via browser or something.
I didnt know Logitech made remote until now
