Older models start, no prob there. Newer ones, that don't have detachable batteries, yes, they can be a problem (sometimes, depends on make and model... usually brands like Dell or Lenovo can make a fuss over it). Even in those cases, there are BIOS mods that remove this limitation.

Of course, that general advice is good and should be followed. But some batteries will die even if you follow these advices. There were some laptops back in the day that had a recharge cycle counter inside the charge/discharge controller in the battery. They would just die, out of the blue, after, let's say, 1000 charges. People that were used to having their laptops plugged in all the time, regardless if they needed that or not, spent the recharge cycles a lot faster than people that just plugged in the laptop whenever it was low on battery. This happened because the charging circuit sometimes falsely reports the battery as a little drained (99%), so it will recharge it just a tad. Still, this "just a tad" added 1 recharge cycle to the count. Over the course of a day, this may happen, 10, 15 times, which ammounts to 10, 15 charges accourding to the counter. So, their batteries basically went dead right after their warranty expired. There are ways to reset the counter or completely jump that piece of code, but it's just not worth it. Too much RCE work for very little gain.

It's a shame though... those batteries were still OK. It was just a shitty move from the manufacturers to try and squeze more money from their clients for batteries.

Doesn't really matter, those chargers can take in from about 90V to about 250, 260V. Forget what the sticker says about 110~230, they're designed for unstable voltage operation (not actually designed for that, but they don't wanna make different ones for EU and UK/US voltages coz it costs more, plus people bitch about not being able to use them abroad, so they just make the same ones and ship with different plugs). Trust me, they can handle voltage swings pretty darn good. They're SMPS power supplies, they're designed to output the same voltage in a very wide range of input voltages.

If you really think that a battery will help (it might help... in some cases... depending on how it's built), just leave the battery on even if it's dead. It might work as voltage dumper in some cases, but as I said, it depends on the design.

Why do you think I spend my time here, lol 😂.

Hell, having the IPs is sufficient enough, no need for the hosts hack.

It should be the last resort plan. Cuz if the domain name changes, that's a new instance as far as Lemmy is concerned. Sure, the instance will hold all your posts and media, but I don't think new posts made from that account will be associated with posts before the domain name change.

There is this GUI app called lasim. Download it, run it, export the data to json. But, the instance has to be online in order to do this.

What's a CalcKey account?

Zoom in... OK, now xray mode... not that much, just the clothes... perfect, take pic.

Damn, eating pussy and ass at the same time, that's not a bad deal.

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

Mhm, pretty accurate... but I have no idea why, this goes for my aunt, not my mom 🤷.

Dub-step 🤔... yep, seems legit 👍.

You could run Void on it... and a few other niche distros, but Void is the most mainstream one that still supports x86. Plus, xbps-src holds almost everything else that is not present in the official repos, so, you could just compile from source using the template.

Forget about the battery, it's not worth it. Use it till it dies completely, then remove it and use it on the charger.

Damn it, I was hoping no one would notice.

Completely agree. I haven't had a beer with a neighbour since I moved to my new appartment. We chit chat in the elevator with some of them, but now I'm just waiting for them to find out I'm in IT and electronics, so I could invite them over to fix whatever 😁.

Hey, it's practically begging, I know, but I actually don't have any more friends. A few died in car accidents, some from heart attacks, some in the pandemic and the rest are abroad 🤷.

Yep, me as well.

Yeah, very interesting read indeed.

Lemmy could do with some form of user data download option so you can at least get a list of the communities you've subscribed to and the posts you've written and saved

That is something that is planned, just not being worked on currently. This thing was barely usable when the reddit thing happened, the platform was far from ready for the influx of users it received.

User migration could be made easier. At least being able to upload a list of communities to subscribe to.

That is also something that is planned, but not currently being worked on. Like migrating your whole profile, including posts, to another instance.

That being said, there is a tool that will export almost all (as far as I can tell, the profile pic is the only thing it doesn't export) of your settings and communities from your profile in a file and then you can import them on another account.

And the big one ... the fediverse doesn't enable you to own your data and profile in anyway unless you self host ... at some point down the road, it would be good if this could be addressed.

Also on the backburner. It's planned, just currently not a priority.

The paid ones, probably not. The free ones, yes most probably.
