I’ve managed to find a replacement base, as that was broken too, but not this part. It looks like I should be able to fix it with some epoxy though :)

Fair enough :)
She sounds similar to my mother. She’s got a laptop that never moves too, but refuses to consider a desktop 🤷🏻♂️
In fairness to them, this is a Stonebook branded Clevo laptop, and it’s a 7th gen i5, so it’s been doing well :)
That was going to be its fate if I couldn’t get the parts :)
Yes and no. The backplate was attached but broken, and I didn’t realise that the broken piece was where the third screw for the hinge was.
In fairness to the manufacturer, this is a 7th gen i5, and it was doing great until my wife ‘definitely didn’t drop it’ on the corner >.<
Don’t scare me, I haven’t fixed it yet 😅
I was debating doing something similar, and putting it behind the TV to replace the Fire Stick, but I’ve found what looks like compatible plastics on ebay. My base has broken quite badly too, so replacing both is going to be my best bet.
Daft question, but have you tried ebay for the hinges, or a spares or repairs listing?
I’ve been looking at replacing the mounts with brass ones, but as it’s an old laptop, I should be able to get a replacement case for around £40. I don’t really want to spend any more, but if I can get the case I’m going to go down that route :)
Devices that you already own (PCs, smartphones, tablets, Fire TV devices, and smart TVs) can become your gaming devices, and Luna also supports peripherals that you already own, such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers, and mouse + keyboard.
This is the part that interests me the most. I’ve got a handful of controllers that I’ve tried using with my phone in the past with not much luck. If they work with Luna, I’ve instantly got a decent library of games to play anywhere :)
Just to note, this doesn’t apply to the UK. Our trains are generally useless and expensive.
That looks really handy, thanks :)
I’ve just downloaded Fedora Kinoite to try with my Ventoy drive (I refer the KDE layout :) )
Not Toad of Toad Hall?
Does it give you a choice at startup, similar to the Grub menu, or do you have to do something to bring the option up?
That does appear to be the case, yes.
Where does the training data come from to create indecent images of children?
From the other side. If you look, it’s open, and appears to be street level on that side.
ALSO DO NOT SWITCH if you have the 30 or 40 series NVIDIA cards. Or any NVIDIA card for that matter.
Why? I’ve got a 3060, and it’s running perfectly under Mint. It’s worked on the half a dozen or so other distros I’ve live booted too.
Princes tinned chilli.
I get Sunday evenings to myself at the moment, so I’ve been doing the whole sitting in front of the telly eating some shit that the wife doesn’t like. I tried chilli with cheese, sour cream, and Doritos, but didn’t want to cook just for myself.
I tried a tin of Princes chilli, and while it was nice enough, it’s pretty much pureed.
I’d tried another brand the week before, and it was lovely, but this felt like eating baby food.
