New studio work-in-progress:
New floor ✅
Next step:
Repainting the walls and restoring this amazing drafting table I got for free at the refurbish. Mechanics works perfectly, but the surface needs some attention.
I don’t miss doing architecture, but I really missed a drafting table.
I can’t wait for this new studio coming together, it’s my big project of 2024!
The #battery on my #Kindle needs replacing. I'm trawling through websites and videos, searching for the correct model, of the hundreds produced and then dumped (nearly as bad as printers).
One webpage says a Kindle should last 2-5 years before needing a replacement battery. Mine will be 12 years old next month. Amazon no longer acknowledges it, which is fine because it still works for @gutenberg_org#free#ebooks. Or it will, when I can replace the battery.
Hmm, very tempted to renovate these free Hans Wegner style Mid-Century Modern chairs (Craigslist) -- if I had access to my workshop. Though, no need for dining chairs. Pricey if in good condition. Dining chairs tend to be easy to reupholster, too.. #refurbish#recycle#furniture
This Compaq Presario CQ42 has even defeated antiXLinux, weird bug where the USB drive loads faster than the harddrive, and also can't handle keychatter so we get stuck at the boot screen forever.
Last desperate attempt to get it working seems to have stuck, and it is running Manjaro with XFCE. So yeah, it's running Arch now out of necessity. :black_sparkling_heart:
Question: anyone who have done business with Refurb.eu? They’re selling a Lenovo think pad P53 för approximately 1000 euros. Sound as a great deal, but too great? I want a refurbed laptop instead of a new one. Specs: i7 processor, 64 GB RAM, RTX3000 graphics, 1 TB ssd with two free nvme slots. #refurbish#lenovo
