University Mergers - not the best sign! - Lemmy.World

We’ll see more of these in the coming year I suspect given how deeply in a hole some of our universities are.

Wil give that a go, did pop the keyboard out to check if it was a ribbon issue but will pop it again and see if I spot corrosion.

Thanks for the idea!

Acer Aspire One Not Posting - Lemmy.World

My elderly aspire one D150 is, alas, no longer working (screen dead, not posting either by the sound of it). I’ve swapped out the ram, checked the battery and charger. It powers on, no screen activity. The fan is definitely firing up, but it’s clearly stopping after 2 seconds, the device does remain on. Key presses yield no additional response. I did try using an external monitor via the dvi port, but no dice (checking if the monitor is dead). Any thoughts on fixes, or do I have a new paperweight?

Dual Boots and File Systems

Dual Boots and File Systems - Lemmy.World

For the past decade or so I’ve mostly had a windows rig for gaming, and a dual boot laptop for travel/work (windows for Microsoft Access/PowerPoint, Ubuntu for everything else). An odd issue I ran across was drive data format; it caused unending issues with steam/lutris when installing games running under wine/proton to drives formatted for windows (they’d just not run, no error messages till one day I tried to force it via terminal and got an error I could search via Google). In the end I just partitioned off the drive to a native Linux format and that fixed it (had to dump the contents of the drive to a portable which took a while!), but now I am wondering if there was another alternate workaround?

Blackboard Ultra - Lemmy.world

We’ve received word that we’re migrating from the older version of blackboard to the new, “student approved”, blackboard Ultra. We’ll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?

A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!
