Yeah, I thought that might be the case, just hoped to find a nicer solution, makes me sad what has been done to this poor machine. I know, sadly not for this exact model but for some similar ones. Forgot about needing to deal with the webcam/mic as well Quite likely where I will go (possibly get some epoxy) and then resort to gutting a dead one if that fails. But I wanted to put this out there to see if other people had similar experiences and other ideas.

Yeah, problem with that is the new part would be the actual laptop itself, the hinges themselves are fine, its the chassis where they connect that is snapped. I could maybe find a dead laptop of the same model and gut it just for the chassis, but that entails the hassle of dealing with laptop screens and antennae that run up into the screen.

I received a Lenovo Ideapad 520s back from someone in pretty awful condition. In addition to losing a lot of the screws they have managed to tear off the rubber feet and do serious damage to where the hinge connects to the chassis. The screws I am not concerned about but I was hoping for some advice on replacing the feet and what can be done about the hinges. As you can see they have somehow managed to snap the plastic divots in the chassis that the gripping bolts of the hinges go into. The best I can think of as a solution is to superglue the bolts down to where they used to be but I am hoping that someone might have a more reliable and less irreversible solution.

Can't say for PopOS as their installation method is unusual but for the majority of Linux distros they shouldn't change anything that you do not tell them to. Does the Pop installer let you choose the disk it installs to? If so then I expect it would just install to that disk and leave the others alone.

Hah at a previous job we needed to maintain multiple virtualised Windows Server networks on our PCs, so naturally the boss man buys us all Surface Books (1st generation). Dual core processors and almost no cooling trying to emulate 3 connected Windows servers all interacting with each other and also managing our local work on the host system as well. Could have just gotten us each workstations plus a notebook for the same money but that wouldn't have been shiny and Microsofty enough.

Watched most of the Wotakoi live action film. Unless you are really determined to see a nerdy Japanese musical I would say stick with the anime and avoid the film.

I'm not denying that, but that comes down to particular workloads and the optimisations that the developers have made. In cases where both CUDA and OpenCL are properly supported CUDA doesn't have any real edge, but because most of the compute workloads out there are already optimised for CUDA rather than OpenCL

The annoying thing with CUDA is that that it isn't particularly better than OpenCL in terms of actual performance, but because the software out there is almost all optimised for it rather than OpenCL. Which of course leads into the cycle of people that need compute buy Nvidia, so developers target CUDA, so people buy Nvidia, so developers...

Also of note if this is going to be accessible via the internet is whether your ISP provides you with a static or dynamic IP.

Not an odd combo, he is just dressing like a man 20 years older than he is my dad would do the same thing if my mum would let him.

Obviously, they are part of him now

I knew that would draw someone out And yeah I know what you mean, the days of a series or two a week are far behind me.
