Looking for some technical help. So my new old laptop has a fingerprint sensor, however I cannot seem to find a linux driver which supports it. I can see it in the list when I perform an lsusb but no driver. So I was thinking maybe I could at least see if there's any raw data coming out of it when I touch it. I might not be able to see if I can gather any data out of it.

Since I bought this Dell 5414 rugged laptop, I'm starting to get ideas. First idea I'm having is wondering if there could be a way to upgrading the power port. Currently it has a barrel plug type power adapter, and I would love if it used USB-C to charge the battery. This would make its support much easier since I have UGreen brick that can deliver 100W and the power pack the comes with the laptop only provides 90W.

Learn the best way to handle it: 1) Sell it quickly for maximum return (especially if it's under 5 years old), 2) Donate it to extend its life, 3) Repurpose it as a Linux server, or 4) Recycle it responsibly. Remember: Always perform a secure data wipe before letting it go!

Bringing a true vintage ThinkPad back to life! ✨ Installed Linux Lite 7.4 (based on 24.04 LTS) on my old X200.
Linux Lite is PERFECT for minimal hardware like this. Makes the X200 usable again for basic tasks!
Check out my installation guide/video! 👇 [https://youtu.be/IwjP20Mt-_g]

Things that I could do with an old laptop, that works but is now sitting around, not being useful...
How about hosting my own instance with GoToSocial - A fast, fun, ActivityPub server

I got this older laptop (lifebook e743) for around 14€ at a local marketplace. It had no charger, no hdd, no ram, no battery but for doing a little coding on the go, it is perfect. I had to change the charging plug to be able to power it with a charger i had on hand. Fortunately it works without the id pin. I choose manjaro as the OS and so far i like it. I will craft a custom battery for it in the future for sure too

Ένα ακόμη Dell αναστήθηκε με Linux Mint. Μια μπαταρία θέλει και είναι σαν καινούργιο. #linuxmint #linux #oldlaptop

Looks like a battery replacement is in my near future. How safe would it be to turn on to drain the battery without this uh... exploding?

Ordered two parts to revive my old uni laptop! Both said 2-day delivery. One took two days...the other...five days in, still waiting. It would be less frustrating to have none of it, than to have half of what I need but not the other half!

So, last week my latest laptop expired, 'beyond economic repair' so I'm, temporarily using this nearly 10 year old, secondhand 'brick'
At least the cat seems to enjoy it...
