  • motherboards generally limit the amount of voltage that you can get from the power supply, generally that’s 20V. if that component is broken or fully degraded, your best bet is to buy another laptop.

    that said, try updating the BIOS if it hasn’t been updated recently. It sounds like this is a low-level controller issue then an actual hardware issue.


  • just go used on ebay, and if you prefer to do a project, buy a “broken” laptop in some area, and you can save 30% from retail cost. I bought an Asus zephyrus g14 (2023) for $500 because the n-key didn’t work, once after updating the bios I had a perfectly functional $1000 to $1500 laptop (if I wanted to resell).





  • I’ve been thinking about AI in the workspace recently, these companies are implementing AI into everything despite our comments to remove it. that got me thinking, the US is currently in an economic bubble on an empty promise that AI will someday be relevant. It clearly isn’t benefiting society as of late, so they encourage workspaces to use it and to continue hoisting the stock market by it’s propaganda (that it is relevant).

    Because workspaces know the US is in deep shit right now, and so you know what’s worse than delivering shitty software, an economic crash.

    don’t put this on yourself, preserve the shitty code reviews while the US goes through an identity crisis. Investors will inevitably come to the realization that it isn’t sustainable.


  • yea, just because you prompt “noAI” doesn’t mean it won’t be sneaking into your results. I’ve even found shitty AI generated articles like from geekstogeeks sneaking inside marginalia search. which is just a query database of websites, no recommendation algorithm.

    Search engines have gone to shit, your only path for reliable information is wikipedia.
