Find my device network of google is just useless - Lemmy.World

Ive ordered 3 chipolo ONE trackers to try out google’s new “find my device” network, after google enabled the network (1 year later than promised). https://blog.google/products/android/android-find-my-device/ [https://blog.google/products/android/android-find-my-device/] After testing it 3 weeks, i recommend you to NOT buy any kind of these devices, as the crowd sourced location detection just isnt works. Never could find any device position relayed by other android devices, not even when i knew a family member is near to it with an android phone. Im not living on a farm, but in suburb, with gardens. Last week my cat (outdoor cat) lost his tracker, so i tagged the tracker as lost, since that no any sign of it, i also rode on bike around the neighborhood (of course i wont ring to the neighbours to get to their gardens to find the tracker), continously tapping on refresh for the tracker, but isnt found. To find a tracker directly, the chinese clones that are not working with google find my device is just enough, but much cheaper. So google’s find my device network is just google quality (not good).

Dell latitude E6440 randomly not starting - Lemmy.World

Hi All! I have an old Delll E6440, which started acting weird 1 month ago. After any kind of swiching it off (includes shutdown, hibernation, sleep), randomly i can’t wake it up (this can happen even on restart), when i press the power button these can happen: - the power LED on, and that’s all. Nothing happens, the HDD, or battery charging LED does nothing, the screen is off, i can’t turn it off, even if i press the power button for 10 seconds, i can only turn off by removing the battery - power led on, some blinking of hdd led, but then same as above - power led on, hdd led blinking, dell logo comes up on screen, hangs there, others are same as above - starts correctly, and i can use, but its very slow, like if the CPU is running at low frequency, also on linux mint (main os) this time the battery indicator is missing, like if it would be a desktop pc, the system not even detects the battery, or charging, even if it runs from battery only. After a half hour, the cooler revs up, the system gets faster, like normally, and the battery/charging indicator appears - starts correctly, everything is normal, and stable So a usually turn on, is like this: fail, take out battery and back, fail, battery out-in, fail, battery…, starts correctly. But for example today i had to to the battery cycle 8 times until it started. I’ve checked the cmos battery, its fine with voltage a little bit above the nominal, and never was UEFI settings loss. I’ve tried without the HDD(SSD) too, nothing changed. I’ve tried to start without battery, on charger, but no any reaction on power button, not even the LED. The charger supplies the normal voltage, also tried with other charger for same type, but nothing changed. If the laptop starts correctly, also charges the battery as normal. Do anyone have some hints, why is this happening? I’ve done longer RAM tests too, no error.

Auto kill memory leaking processes before swap death loop - Lemmy.World

I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system automatically detect swap death loop, and close the biggest ram user process, and so on?

Access unrestricted remote desktop from very restricted office network - Lemmy.World

I want to access an unrestricted desktop at home (preferably a docker novnc desktop container), from the very restricted office laptop/network. The foundations are clear, started a docker container with novnc access published the porst, forwarded the required ports on my router, and i can access it from outside using my phone, or my own laptop, but can’t from the office. The novnc landing page loads, but the connection to remote desktop fails, probably because the websockets connections are also blocked in office, so only the plain http(s) accesses are allowed (not even RDP is allowed). (Not even dyndns providers are allowed, but i can note my current ip address in my phone :D ) Ofc i barely can install anything on office laptop, so i can create fe openvpn tunnel, etc… Do you have some hints if it can be solved?
