Re: failed to eject Sony Reader PRS-T3 [Solved]

Re: Strange occurence with File Managers

Wow, what a rigmerole, and its not the first time I've seen this because I have encountered it myself, thankfully, the offending file was easily found and sorted, but it was ~10 years or so back, possibly more. IIRC, I recorded my find it either here or in the old WW Mepis Forums. The issue I experi...

Re: New SDD WD with uncorrectable EEC sector counter

Originally posted in the wrong thread, sorry if I'm late to the party. To start with, you can use gsmartctl (preinstalled) to use a graphical tool to examine your drives SMART Data, but the command line tool will make it easier to post the output here if you need to. The following terminal command w...

Re: When do you call it quits on an older machine? And how do you take the next step?

Re: Observation: MX-23.2_x64 vs MX-23.2_x64_ahs (Arduino-IDE issue: Java?). SOLVED
