And how long do you want to power this all still when main power goes away? Just graceful shutdown? Or do you plan to be able to work for some X period? You plan to run fully loaded on that system also from backup power?

Running outdated browsers is never a good idea. However, if OS updates aren't there anymore due to, e.g. old hardware, but the system is still running ok. than I think you should go down the road of checking a different browser that does allow you to install recent releases. Also, on such systems, some extra help from some reasonable antivirus/antimalware software like e.g. ESET or Bitdefender would make a strong case I'd say.

It's like asking what is your favorite ice cream. You'll get answers from I don't like it to all possible tastes that are around. It's rather personal. If you look for a well documented easy to start distro I'd try Ubuntu. I myself use Debian since version 2 (yeah... that old...) and still on it. Debian is were ubuntu was based on. Debian however is in my opinion more difficult to jump on for beginners on linux than ubuntu as they put quite some effort in stream-lining the GUI experience. That's nicer than on debian I'd say. Nevertheless, I'm mostly on console anyway so the GUI stuff doesn't bother me a bit.

What already was said by @C2dan88 and @BoomerDutch. Once you removed that repo from your source list, I'd run the refresh-keys followed by the apt update. That should do it. Nevertheless, you need to make sure you're on 64bit. Or your machine is really really old, but if it's rather recent, it should run a 64bit os without issues and than it's best to pair it with 64 bit packages as well.

Hi @whispous, I think @idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b has a mac or hackintosh that is stuck on that version due to or mac hardware being that old that it's no longer supported by apple in newer releases or the hackintosh setup would break when upgrading (probably also due to a mix of hardware dependent reasons and software fiddly diddly to make things work). Having said that, to answer @idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b his question. I think you'r'e heavily dependent on what was written in change-logs to assess if the code would still run. Otherwise you'd have to go trial & error I'm afraid. Maybe firefox would be a better alternative than chromium based browsers on such hardware? My experience is that firefox works well as browser way after os support by Apple etc. was lost.

I can't believe this is a thread actually... who cares. if they enjoy and have family time together doing what they like? What's wrong in that? Are we also gonna discuss all the kids of multi-miljonair celebs now? It's very good to embrace interest of kids. I don't have a feeling at all the Linus is "making" the kids do anything. Seems they are interested for real and I love it he lets them do their thing. I repair circuits from laptops and such as a hobby. My son loves this and yes, he has destroyed many things, but that's learning. Being able to take stuff apart and try to put it together is in my opinion the best way of learning.

what about a nokia 3210 and a laptop

I have the keychron k8 alu and I absulute love it. I have the brown switches currently and love that it connect usb-c, and bluetooth (can pair to 3 pc's). i have this keyboard for over a year now and it's by far the best i ever had.

This might help you: To load a Broadcom kernel module in Linux, you can use the following steps: Locate the kernel module file. Broadcom kernel modules are typically located in the /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/broadcom directory. Open a terminal window and change to the directory where the kernel module file is located. Run the following command to load the kernel module: sudo insmod <kernel_module_file> For example, to load the wl kernel module, you would run the following command: sudo insmod broadcom/wl.ko If the kernel module is loaded successfully, you should see a message similar to the following: insmod: module wl.ko loaded Verify that the kernel module is loaded by running the following command: lsmod | grep wl If the kernel module is loaded, you should see an output similar to the following: wl 2168832 0 Broadcom 802.11 wireless LAN driver To unload the kernel module, you can use the following command: sudo rmmod <kernel_module_name> For example, to unload the wl kernel module, you would run the following command: sudo rmmod wl You can also load kernel modules automatically at boot time by adding them to the /etc/modules file. To do this, open the /etc/modules file with a text editor and add the name of the kernel module to the end of the file. For example, to load the wl kernel module automatically at boot time, you would add the following line to the /etc/modules file: wl Once you have added the kernel module to the /etc/modules file, save the file and reboot your system. The kernel module will be loaded automatically at boot time. Note: Broadcom kernel modules can sometimes be difficult to load and unload. If you are having problems, you may need to consult the documentation for your specific Broadcom kernel module.

it seems it finds the card, but didn't load the kernel module? Maybe check that?

Yes, so on macos you can use osx-fuse, extfuse as per the link I posted.

Have a look here. Some things that you need to install through brew, but it works perfectly for me. https://hackmylinux.com/2018/02/18/how-to-mount-and-read-a-linux-partition-on-a-mac-ext2-ext3-ext4/

Hi, Currently my setup is a dual monitor setup with to Eizo monitors. A 24" flexscan that I use in portait and a widescreen EV3895 that I have on an Ergotron monitor arm (b.t.w. superb arm!). I'm pleased with the picture quality etc, but I'm missing vertical screen estate a lot. i do a lot of coding and have a whole bunch of terminal windows open most of the time. I was thinking about maybe getting an oled 42" screen or a 2nd EV3895 on an arm to position on top. The latter only having as minus that I will have the bezels in between the picture. Does anybody of you have any ideas what could be a good monitor for replacement of the EV3895 or what otherwise you'd suggest. Most monitors here where I live (Warsaw, Poland) are available, but nowhere on display. Yes, I can order and return if needed, but that is a big hassle with such large screens. Trying to get as much info to make an educated choice. Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

I can second that. I life in Warsaw, Poland and the shipping takes about 30-50 days.... like... in the sense you already receive mails with "how do you like the products etc." before it even arrives. And I also had to pay import taxes. I think those import taxes are just something whole EU has to deal with when receiving from Canada, but the shipping is so slow... Then the extra problem. In Poland the government owned Poczta Polska (so the national mail) is the worst I've ever seen in a country. They are masters in loosing parcels, not delivering correctly, etc. etc. And they are extremely slow. They will also outright not deliver the parcel to your door, but just dump a pickup notification in your mailbox. Nothing as frustrating as such notif when you've been home whole day (working from home). As shipping is already 20-30 USD, why can't it be a courier service? I order many things online and most stuff from the USA etc. comes with 3-5 days with DHL or UPS and works perfect. Costs are also in that price-range. Anyway, that experience is a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless I'm very happy with my WAN hoodie and deskpad! @LinusTech iFixIt has a european depot maybe LTT can partner up? (just saying)...
