Site back up – Restore in progress
Hi everyone, Last week, we had a severe thunderstorm in the area. Unfortunately, a thunder strike caused the main transformer to be taken offline. Once power was restored, I found out that some stuff got damaged. In the findings, the server data SSD was damaged. Luckily, I had a recent database backup. I immediately moved to order the parts that needed to be replaced. The SSD warranty already expired, so I ordered a new one. I also ordered a new…
Adding Proper Audio Support for the HP Stream 8 tablet in the Linux Kernel – My first contribution to the Linux Kernel
Hi everyone, For several years already, I have owned an HP Stream 7 and HP Stream 8 tablets. These were low budget, Windows 8 tablets powered by an Intel Atom Z3735G Bay Trail processor and having only 1GB of RAM. These tablets are also limited to running the 32bit version of Windows not only because of the extremely low RAM amount by today’s standards, but also because the BIOS only runs 32-bit EFI images. This tablet can be upgraded to…

Is your Lenovo Y720 laptop CPU stuck at 0.78Ghz? Here’s how to fix it
Hi everyone, Recently, I came into this issue where my Lenovo Y720 laptop, with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU seems to be stuck at running at 0.78Ghz even when the power options are set to High Performance. This issue would persist even when the machine is shut down and powered on again, for some reason. The task manager looks like this in this case: Laptops, especially those with dedicated graphics, would throttle down the CPU sometimes if the temperature gets…
The 4-Pack EBL Lithium-Ion 1.5V AA Rechargeable batteries
Hi everyone, Today, we will be seeing the 4-Pack EBL Lithium-Ion 1.5V AA batteries. These are AA batteries but are special in that they are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and charges using a Micro-USB cable. An advantage of these batteries when compared to the NiMH batteries are that the former will output 1.5V while the latter will output 1.2V. This is important because some devices expect the battery to fully output the 1.5V. Other devices may work with 1.2V but may…
The Coca-Cola machine with multiple drink selections and a touch screen
Hi everyone, Today, we will see a Coca-Cola machine that is found on some fast-food restaurants. This machine is different than the usual drink dispenser as this one only has one dispenser. So you may wonder, how does it dispense the drink you want? The answer to that lies in the touch screen and how it is made internally. These machines have a touch screen that allow you to select your preferred drink. It also dispenses ice via the handle…
