I believe they are Phillips 3.3mm screws.

@@compumatterllc i will try to get one and check. Thanks!

m3.3? or length?

I'm not sure it will work on every model, but it does not hurt to make an Ubuntu USB stick and boot to it. Instead of installing, click "Try Now" and open up the Cheese app to see if the webcam works.

Thanks for your thoughts Michael. I'm the CEO you spoke of. We certainly agree with you regarding Auren. She's family to us and a real gem. As for contradicting each other. It's bound to happen. Though we agree on most things we often learn from each other. It is the benefit of multiple minds. That said, I'm glad you found some comedy in it. We try to bring some comedic levity to these things and try not to take ourselves too seriously. What you heard was honesty regarding my initial statement about hotkeys. At that moment I didn't think I did use hotkeys or at least not much. As the podcast went on I realized just how unconscious a behavior it actually was for me. That's all there was to that. As for my being sarcastic - guilty as charged. Narcissistic.... that was tough to hear. You hit a soft spot and forced me to reflect upon that as we move forward with these podcasts. I certainly don't want to be that or be perceived as that. Thanks for your constructive criticism.

@@compumatterllc you nailed it, you guys are doing well. keep it on, love that kind of content. the way you handled that kind of comment shows us the kind of persons you guys are.. with that said.. i realy want to recomend you guys to do a episod showing a day in Compumatter, like a day documentary you know what i mean ? thanks and have a nice week

Make sure you are on the latest update if possible. The 24.04 upgrade is also out now and may be more reliable for that, but I have not had the time to personally test it yet. If neither help, I have heard people can install "brightness-controller" through the terminal.

I believe that requires a login but I cannot recall to be sure. In my case it doesn't matter as I use it for my development server. You will have to test that one I'm afraid.

Well whatever it was it magically got cured a few days later

It is actually not possible for whatever reason on the iPhone without downloading a third party app. Microsoft Swiftkey on the App Store might be able to provide you that feature. Thank you for the kind comment!

Thank you for the suggestion. I gave Swiftkey a try, but when it said that ALL (and previous) keystrokes are sent and are readable by the author….. I deleted Swiftkey right away 👎🏼 I can live without the numbers on my keypad but I cannot live without your lovely voice and informative videos 😊 Greetings from Holland!

Thank you. We appreciate the feedback.

Great to hear, you do not have to fix what isn't broken. That being said, working off an older operating system does come with some security risks, so long as you are aware of that and able to do what you need to do on the system.

bro must take 2business days just to open google chrome

We have done the same. Oddly, many of them didn't work. The pac-audio.com SNI-1/3.5 seemed to do the job. Though I must say I went through so many iterations of everything I am not sure if that was the fix but it's working now with no background home and with that device between my Sound mixer and my ATEM

Yes, you can. That should work on macs or linux. I have just experienced more reliability with Rufus. :)

also it takes me like 6 minutes to boot how do I fix that

@@doingitallwithsealy7358 Do you have an SSD installed in the system? That will help significantly if you do not have one to get it installed. It's a hard drive replacement.

That sounds pretty "out there" on the edge of things. I'm guessing this is KVM hardware you're talking about and not the Linux KVM software?

When installing Ubuntu, do you recall if you checked the "install third party drivers" section? If not, try reinstalling and see if checking that helps. If it is slow, I would also recommend upgrading your hard drive to a solid state drive (SSD) if you haven't already.

Yes, they will boot with the power cord plugged in and no batteries. Have you opened it up to see if the CMOS battery is plugged in properly? Another thing to try is plugging it in to an external monitor in case the screen is the issue here.

Rosetta is a program made by Apple to create compatibility in programs (Like LibreOffice), so it is safe.

I would recommend making the USB, booting to the USB, and clicking "Try Now" to see if it runs on your system. Based on other people's experiences, it may or may not work. Hope it goes well!

Hmm..that seems to point to the SSD itself having an issue. Have you tried plugging in your SSD to another computer (if possible) to see if the drive shows up? It could also be formatted in a way the Macbook cannot see.

@@compumatterllc Thank you for the reply. I don't think I can try the SSD on another computer as it is the built in flash storage. The storage is still visible in MacOS/Disk Utility, just not visible when using the USB boot stick for Linux.

Verify your WiFi password is correct, then also verify you do not have any VPN software or security software with VPN turned on. You can also tether your device using a cell phone and a cable (hotspot tether) or plug the computer into ethernet and search for your model online followed by the word drivers. See if you can find a WiFi driver from the manufacturer's website and install it.

That's great! Hope you get many more years out of it. :)
