Usuarios de KOreader, yo os invoco.Tengo un Kobo Clara HD del año 2021.Desde siempre me ha parecido que KOreader le gasta más rápido la batería a mi Kobo que su SO original. Pero es que de un tiempo a esta parte, está siendo exagerado, nivel que me dure la batería solo 3 días (no leyendo más de 2h al día). He comprobado y creo que no se está quedando suspendido a veces, y eso le consume, pero es que incluso suspendido pierde a un ritmo de 2% por hora. He probado a usarlo hasta el 0% y luego hacerle una carga completa a ver si estaba la batería descalibrada, pero mis battery statistics ahora mismo son tal que he perdido un 19% de batería en 1h40min (1% en 29min de standby y 18% en 1h13min encendido, aunque de ese tiempo encendido más de la mitad debería haber estado suspendido). Vamos, que es del todo anormal. El otro día me bajó de 95% a 37% cuando debía estar suspendido, en cuestión de horas (en un mismo día).Miré en los foros típicos y no saco nada en claro, aunque he aplicado las recomendaciones básicas (bajar la frecuencia de refresco, tener el wifi desconectado y activar el autosuspend).¿Será una cosa de hardware o de software? ¿5 años es ya bastante para este dispositivo? Porque yo pretendía que me durase 8. ¿Recomendaciones?#koreader #kobo #ereader #eBook #ayuda #fediayuda #help #fedihelp

Hello everyone! Bird found in distress. Help needed.So this Eurasian Jay was found on a tree today, being there and screaming for many hours already, as told by people living here.The bird was clearly in distress not moving, but turning their head often. After that the bird carefully got off the tree and dropped to ground. Waited for a while silent, still as in pain, now started yelling again.My guess would be that it is some injury considering all said and the fact there is a house with huge glass windows right here. Gusty winds are present. The weather is not particularly hot today, 25C (77F), but was much hotter on Monday.What is the right thing to do in this situation? Any advise and boosts would be greatly appreciated.#AskFedi #Birds #Bird #Help #BirdsOfFediverse #BirdsOfMastodon #Jay #Corvidae #Advice #AskMastodon #AskFediverse

@Fluorette Salut. J’etais infirmier en réa (pas a dunkerque). Mais dans d’autres rea. Les fleurs y etaient interdite et les affaires personnelles très limitées en chambres pour des raisons d’hygiène. Petit conseil renseigne toi si ton cadeau sera accepté dans le service avant.Bon courage.

@emanuelecariati You're welcome. 🙂

@peerg it depends on the client you use, but usually, click into your own profile, scroll down to find the particular toot. There should be an option under ellipsis to pin that toot. Good luck!

@Thayer can he get to Welwyn or is that too far?

@cybercow Homes are on separate raid array ans have almost nothing of value on them . luckily.

@IngridHbn@mastodon.online Also, I kept snails as a child and I've never had one sustain an injury from being picked up.

@carmenlisandrette@mastodon.social Hi, they have different helpdesks according to where the user is located (!), I found an email address for their helpdesk for users from abroad helpdesk@ach.sch.gr. If this is not the case or if you have an issue with this address do DM me, how complicated is this site?

@liam Some progress has been made. After reseating the SSD, the BIOS now sees the SSD. I was able to add it to the boot menu and I'm now able to boot into the OS.But...issues persist. The BIOS reports there is no battery and simultaneously Debian reports the battery is fully charged. The laptop shuts off immediately if I pull the power. After reseating the battery cable, the BIOS now recognizes the new battery, reports it as 100% charged as does Debian. Except....the laptop shuts off immediately if unplug the AC adapter.So....a problem lies elsewhere. The laptop is unable to switch from AC to battery power despite being fully charged. The laptop is now displaying an LED blink code. Currently digging thru Dell's service manuals for this.

@yesjohn Thank you! :D

#Help with iMac problem.I bought a refurb 2019 iMac recently. It now doesn’t connect with the keyboard (new) supplied with it. And this disconnect happened when I was locked out so I cannot access any settings. The mouse works fine through the Bluetooth connection and stand alone. When it was working the keyboard would connect after start-up, but not always, when I pressed #1 key and then accept my PIN. Now when I press #1 blue work light comes on. Assume it’s charged as battery light is off.

Dearest #Fediverse Hivemind We need your glitters and sparks. It's about water and empowering people / grassroots communities.We are urgently seeking cuvettes as donations, or at very low prices, for our #OpenHardware spectrometer in order to continue our R&D and, above all, to analyze water wherever we can.We are convinced that somewhere in this network of networks of wonderful people, someone knows someone who has a bag of infrared spectro cuvettes under a desk/in a lab.Then training people and groups, investigating issues, reporting with journalists, so on and so forth.We would like to avoid using polluting mass transportation across the globe; we would like to create meaningful connections that foster conviviality.It's infra-red spectro https://www.gaudi.ch/GaudiLabs/?page_id=1124https://forum.hack2o.eu/t/diy-spectrometry-on-a-tap-water-sample/46https://forum.hack2o.eu/t/combiner-spectrometrie-et-bioessais-dans-nos-analyses-des-eaux/344/2 #Help #FediHelp #WaterIsLife

Looking for Fediverse oddities!I am super late, OVER THE DEADLINE to submit the slides of my talk at SFSCON 2025, but I still want to add a few little things, and I need tips.My presentation ends by listing a few “crazy but true” things about the Fediverse.Can you help me find a few more in the next couple hours?So far I have:Truth Social uses Mastodon and it was forced to open-source its code after it was discoveredSome public institutions host their own Fediverse instances!You could host a Fediverse server in your living roomYou can use a car’s on-board computer to power a Fediverse serverYou can synchronize your personal calendar with federated calendars from the Fediverse (using @gancio)You can buy indie music by paying an artist directly (using @bandwagon)You can do academic peer-reviews via the Fediverse (using @bonfire)What else??? I only want cool or incredible things.#Fediverse #help #oddities #conference #presentation #talk #SFSCON #SFSCON2025

Fosstodon, I summon thee!I've set up Miniflux, and I need some good, reliable RSS feeds for FOSS news, technology in general, cybersecurity and gaming.And I don't want feeds that puke out a hundred posts a day, just to put SOMETHING out there. A single, meaningful and entertainig post a day or even every couple of days is completly acceptable, and even preferred.@mike can you recommend something good?#rss #news #feeds #fosstodon #help #foss #opensource #technology #gaming #cybersecurity
