matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 05:57:44 JST matthew - retroedge.tech I guess that's what I'm checking out now.
I see the situation with nostr as much more positive and the model and protocol to be quite functional... but I am extremely new to the concept.
The documentation looks good to me and I like what I've seen that has been built on it, so far.
I appreciate your perspective @dcc though, as it may be useful to temper my enthusiasm right now. -

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Monday, 06-May-2024 05:49:06 JST matthew - retroedge.tech Yeah, I can see that from a social perspective.
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective.
I am quite excited about checking #nostr out right now. So we'll see if my enthusiasm is curbed or if it grows with time. -

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Apr-2024 02:36:30 JST matthew - retroedge.tech Cloned a Windows installation from a SATA drive to an nVME SSD. As expected I got an error when booting from the nVME SSD "boot device not accessible".
Here's the solution:
Get to a menu where you can choose to boot the installation in Safe Mode (sometimes repeatedly pressing F8 or just letting the failure message take you to the menu).
Boot to Safe Mode.
Open a command prompt in Administrator Mode
sc.exe config stornvme start= boot
That command loads the nVME driver as default on the installation. Reboot.
All should be well and the Windows installation should now be able to boot normally off the nVME SSD.

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Friday, 26-Apr-2024 11:29:04 JST matthew - retroedge.tech I used a two step process to attempt to fix hinge anchors that had pulled out of the plastic on the top screen backplate of a Lenovo IdeaPad laptop.
First, I used the heat of a soldering iron to push the brass anchors back into the plastic of the backplate. The anchors are farther back than what they were originally, but sometimes just doing this will fix an anchor if there's enough plastic left to hold.
In this case, there wasn't that much plastic to hold the anchors, even when sunk back in with heat.
So I also used JB Weld epoxy. Put some behind the hinge. Then screwed the hinge to the anchors I sunk in with the soldering iron. After that, I spread some of the epoxy over some of the holes and edges of the hinge plate.
Will let it sit overnight and test tomorrow. Should hold now, as the epoxy is strong once set.

matthew - retroedge.tech (matthew@social.retroedge.tech)'s status on Tuesday, 16-Apr-2024 05:50:45 JST matthew - retroedge.tech There's no way to completely avoid being controversial. No matter what stance or public position you take, there's going to be a sizeable opposition.
Try to figure out what you think is right and true and then attempt to be consistent with that.
