I think that’s just Facebook, surely no people actually use it any more?

Maybe they can sell their AI Slop to AI slop? Really cut people right out of the equation.

This is the way.

I would have thought the logs would share more than that.

The weird Linux function aside, sounds there’s something in the intkb that’s toast. There seems to be a firmware update for that kB, have you tried updating that (or rolling it back)?

That’s bizarre, I’m surprised Linux is unable to deal with the disconnected internal kB, what’s the systemd error before it packs it in?

You should be able to boot with the intkb disconnected to failure then switch off, reconnect the intkb, boot normally then use jounald to see the last boot logs.

When it boots to windows with only the extkb connected, does the extkB still fail following sleep?

I take it that’s with the built in keyboard still connected?

We’ll, the next step is ripping out the keyboard, it would be interesting to see if it boots and works fine with the internal kB disconnected and an external kB connected. That is, is it something on the keyboard that’s screwing with the USB or is it the USB itself. I once had a laptop (I think it was actually a Lenovo) that you could remove the keyboard from the top with a small probe, not so common these days. The mb should come off relatively easy. You could replace your thermal pastes while you’ve got everything dismantled.

No I meant draining the battery completely, you should be able to achieve the same result by disconnecting the battery if it’s in an accessible location

Tried this?

Yeah the others don’t seem like they would be the solution. Have you tried a USB keyboard? Not as a permanent solution, but more to see if other keyboards do it too.

Is the laptop still in warranty? If so, take it back, if not then maybe see if you can source a replacement keyboard. Might be annoying to replace depending on the chassis but probably easier than replacing the whole mainboard.

How does the cable connecting the keyboard to mainboard look? Have you tried reseating it? Is it running through any pinch points?

Are there any “switch off USB to conserve power” settings in the BIOS?

Turth Social?

Yeah, boiling milk is is going cut through concrete at about the same rate a river cuts through a continent, and that process isn’t melting

I think, therefore AI

Does milk have to be in liquid state to still be considered milk?

“Milk, when vapourised, passed through an appropriately enegetic field and converted into a plasma, can melt concrete”

Did it specify how hot the milk needed to be?

Arguably you could use pumped hydro with the abandoned mine shaft?

I believe the argument against solid block gravity batteries is that you can achieve the same thing with water by using old mines or even just digging a 40story hole. If you have room for the 40 story tower then you have room for a more efficient pumped hydro hole.

Wasn’t this already debunked as a poor replacement for pumped storage hydro electric? The blocks and the things moving them will always have more wear than water and turbines.
