My old t22 had one that worked perfectly, rip.

Hey i just thought of an actually good use for generative image ai models

Instead now we have giant smartphones mounted to the wall

Peppermint butthole forever

Pretty sure you can brick your system real quick using efivarfs

https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/efivarfs.html

some systems dont let you write but some do.

Theres a similar system i was messing with to read and write the firmware code... reading through this may be informative.

efivars should let your change any bios/uefi settings if thats what youre looking for.

Annointed with the holy kernel, untainted by binary blobs.

i was thinking the same thing

Yes. This is why conda and nix are complicated.

Dont forget to play around with grub while its like this. Tab completion works great, try '(' the press tab to maybe see your disks as grub sees them. I think help lists commands and most of them are harmless.

Could also be a bad update that broke grub, the smart data will show if your drive is dying

... more like how to test a package by installing it, with nix???

Just becausr the install is independant and garbagre collectable doesnt mean its not installed.

Yes try this if you want to find your partition.

maybe not the best guide, but you can start doing partition recovery here

I would do that... but a bit of linux evangelism would slip in as well 😹

Terrible 🙃

Impressive, but terrible.

Have you tried recovery on the old drive? If the new smaller drive was completely full after deletion recovery is not possible

1 - This sounds really stupid, but check the recycle bin on both drives 😅 it is windows after all.

2 - turn off photorec paranoid mode, only check for formts you actually want, and sort the output by size to look for actual files you want.

3 - try checking total file size to see if the files were moved not deleted

Lol we can be smug until someone sneaks a backdoor into nixpkgs for a while. For user envs updating the system doesnt mean the compromise is gone, although checking would be super easy.

Oh how the turn tables

Got a basic brother laser printer from walmart for $100 a few years ago. The toner reset sequence actually works! only problem is the wifi died 6 months ago but it still prints great!
