Listen, either what happened is OK or it isn’t. And when you say “these are humans who voted with concerns for themselves and their communities” it makes seem like electing a felon, rapist, insurrectionist moron to the highest office is OK.
So that’s why I’m here writing to you: to fucking tell you that it’s not, and to ask you to not try to justify it or make this shit sound reasonable. It’s not.
To clarify it doesn’t get disconnected. It just periodically doesn’t recognize that a storage device got plugged in or, alternatively, that there was one plugged in at the time that the laptop was powered on.
But no, I haven’t contacted them about it yet. I need to first check if there’s any dmesg/journalctl events happening that might be worth following up on before contacting support. Primarily because I don’t recall having any issues like that when I had Windows installed so I’m not convinced yet that it is a hardware fault.
If you’re comfortable soldering I believe they do offer a free CMOS battery substitution module to help with what you’re describing: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/RTC+Battery+Substitution+on+11th+Gen+Intel®+Core™/203
11th gen Intel Framework 13 and using Pop_OS. I have many USB related annoyances. For example, when I’m using their USB-A expansion cards that they state support USB 3.2 Gen 2 I am unable to get more than 30MB/s. If I use the same device but through a USB-A to USB-C adapter and a USB-C expansion card I see 500-800MB/s.
I also have some weird issue where USB devices sometimes just don’t show up when plugged in, or if I boot with them plugged in. Re-inserting the device usually fixes it. I was assuming it might have been a hardware problem at first, but it happens on every port regardless of what device it is regardless of if it’s through a USB-A or USB-C card. Not sure what’s going on or how to really go about debugging issues like this.
I don’t know how much of it is specifically Google making their search engine worse vs the web being flooded with AI generated SEO trash that’s intended to keep you on the page for a few minutes when all you need is a simple one word or one sentence answer.
It’s definitely some mix of both though because I found getting concrete answers a lot simpler a decade or two ago just by using quotes around key phrases in conjunction with what seemed to be actual operator keywords like “OR”. I personally don’t think any of that behaves the same way these days, but I have no concrete proof of this so maybe I’m just imagining things.
Either way, I’m slowly coming to terms with the web portion of the internet being a lost cause as AI, bots, and bad actors infiltrate and abuse more and more of it.
Every passing day we delve deeper into this hole that is a cold technology driven world. Instead we really should be taking the time to share our outbreaks with friends and family.
There are keyboards with hall-effect/magnetic switches that allow precise measurement of how much any given key is held down. With that said it’s be possible to map the signals from WASD to emulate a controller’s left stick (at least in games that allow simultaneous kb+m and controller inputs, but that’s fairly common in my experience).
I have a keyboard like that on pre-order and I’m definitely looking forward to trying it. 4mm of travel isn’t much, but it should still be better than a binary signal.
If you’re primarily interested in trying it just to see what it’s like, you may have more luck by putting it on a USB stick and booting that rather than using a VM. It would likely give you a better idea of how it runs/performs on your hardware if you’re considering it as a native desktop OS.
72 million Trump voters embraced the hatred Trump spewed. Literally look at what you’re saying and apply it to what happened the other day and decide yourself if you’re wrong or right.
