@musevg Wann kam das Gerät raus?

Weil oft stellen Hersteller die #Ersatzakku|produktion mit den Geräten ein.

  • Problematisch daran dürfte auch sein dass fast alle #Akkus regelrevht #DRM wie #Tintenpatronen haben. Und da #hp sogar beim #RAM DRM nutzt um Aftermarket-Upgrades madig zu machen dürfte das mit Batterien ähnlich sein.

Ist es wenigstens nen Akkupack aus Rundzellen? Weil da wäre wenigstens irgendwie nachbau- bzw. reparierbar...

@cesarpose @mrmasterkeyboard depends on the model and #hp has something more sinister:

I literally had this with a client in the past and it's the reason a #refurbisher I know didn't offer RAM-#Upgrades for HP machines at all

@mrmasterkeyboard #GlareScreen|s aside (which isn't your fault but #hp's) I'd say totally fine!

  • If not yourself, someone else will happily find a use-case for a cheap yet useable #laptop to get something done.

#Ubuntu is a good choice as #Desktop #Linux #distro when you want to hand this to someone who may not be as "#TechLiterate" but then again the "full" install comes with #LibreOffice, #Thunderbird and #Firefox so all the #Normies' needs are fulfilled.

  • If I only had like €/$ <100 and needed to get a laptop that works and didn't knew how to get something else (fixed) I'd propably buy it for that.

#Repair & #Reuse is always better than #Upcycle and espechally #Recycle, and getting a decent #OS on that machine and the screen fixed really made it useful...

Rescued and repaired a #HP EliteBook 840 G7 over the last day. Had a bent screen and 8GB RAM running W11 that took a minute to start.

Grabbed a screen and another stick of RAM to make 16GB (same RAM) from a broken donor of same model which was dropped yet screen was fine.

Slightly dented in some areas but great condition overall in my opinion.

Threw #Ubuntu 22.04.5 on the 256GB M.2. Arch is overdone and Gentoo isn’t worth it.

Lemme know what you think about this!

God do I hate #printers:

My #hp printer was working fine, I opened the toner tray that now suddenly doesn't close properly anymore and it now only prints black sheets. It's probably because the toners aren't correctly positioned, but I already took all of them out and even without any toner cartridge, it doesn't close properly anymore.

Let's hope anyone want to fix this thing as it has practically full toners. I'm sick of printers. My #brother one is still working at the moment.

Someone at #HP needs a hard kick in the butt!

The key for <>| that always been to the left of the Z-key, is now replaced by a wider Shift-key. And <>| moved to the L-key.

The real crazy thing is how to actually type them:

- FN + L = <
- FN + AltGr + L = |

But for > it has to be in this specific order:
- Shift + FN + L = >

That's because:
FN + Left Shift = FN-Lock
FN + Right Shift = Print Screen

Those ✅ this layout are for sure not affected by their own stupidity!
