Some years back I bought a Samsung CLX-3300 printer. It worksworked great. Most of the time it was plugged into a RPi that was handling the spooling with cups, and I used third party toner without any issues. Recently the SD card of the RPi died, so that option was not available to me any […]
HP bricked my printer.
A fake USB3 hub
I recently bought a 7-port USB3 hub from eBay. That’s a somewhat interesting experience. It turns out that’s it’s not a 7-port USB3 hub. It’s a four port USB3 hub, and a three port USB2-hub, which happens to be mounted on the same board. Inside, it contains two major IC’s: One of them, the VL815, […]
The M570 Trackball
The Logitech M570 trackball is good. If I use a normal mouse, I’ll get a stiff shoulder after a couple of days. What I can use is an clitoris or trackball. My x220 has a clitoris, which I don’t like in games. The trackball, however, works fine in openTTD. I’ve used various trackballs before, but […]
Cryptocurrencies?
Ok, so we have a couple of cryptocurrencies out there, bitcoin, litecoin and so on. I had a look, trying to buy some litecoins, but was utterly turned away by the hoops I have to jump…: First transfer money in EUR/USD/RUR or other national valuates. Buy the coins. Send them. In addition, the credit card […]
Nordmann for Al Qaeda?
NRK skriv at ein nordmann er trent av Al Qaeda. Der kan ein lese følgande gullkorn: Den 33-Ã¥rige etnisk norske mannen som har konvertert til islam, har plettfritt rulleblad, norsk utseende og regnes som en stor potensiell fare dersom han er trent, operativ og klar til Ã¥ begÃ¥ terrorhandlinger mot et vestlig mÃ¥l, som for […]
Bypassing liquid ban with help from KLM
I recently flew with KLM from Singapore to Amsterdam. They have this tradition of giving you small houses filled with jenever. Thats just fine, but the problem is that they are filled with liquid, and above 100ml. So you have to have them in a sealed bag through security if you have a connecting flight. […]
Er postordrebestilling fra elkjøp ekstraservice?
Ja, meiner dinside.no: Selvfølgelig skal du betale mer for Ã¥ fÃ¥ tilsendt produktene til din egen postkasse eller nærmeste postkontor, i stedet for Ã¥ hente det selv i varehus. Det er en ekstraservice det er rett og rimelig Ã¥ betale for. Er det sjølvfølge at det er ekstraservice? Nei. For Elkjøp sparer eit par kostnader. […]
Armin Bahrami rir White Wesir inn i solnedgangen…
Nyhetsspeilet gjer det igjen – dei publiserer White Wesir sine hemmelige dokumentervÃ¥s. Og nÃ¥r det blir pÃ¥peikt hevder dei at dei var klar over at det var vÃ¥s heile vegen. Eller, Armin Bahrami pÃ¥stÃ¥r dei var klar over det. Resten av redaksjonen er ikkje like samstemte. Men uansett – det artige her er at mr. […]
Stuck in a alternate reality…
Recently I’ve been working with PLC’s – which is so far from the computers I’m used to. As a GNU/Linux user I’m accustomed to having almost any tool available at the touch of my fingertips, and great amounts of knowledge in a instant. But the PLC world? It’s a closed universe, with no protocol documentation […]
Vanlig helgefyll?
– Han er 20 Ã¥r, og er i en livsfase der han gjerne drikker alkohol hver helg. De gangene han har vært i kontakt med politiet, er det episoder som mÃ¥ karakteriseres som vanlig helgefyll blant ungdom. Angiveleg er det forsvararen til ein som har mista sertifikatet som kjem med denne pÃ¥standen. I artikkelen kjem […]
