Adding Proper Audio Support for the HP Stream 8 tablet in the Linux Kernel – My first contribution to the Linux Kernel

Comments 0 Comment

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 4-Pack EBL Lithium-Ion 1.5V AA Rechargeable batteries

Comments 0 Comment

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…

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…

The battery swelling seems to affect one side more than the other. It seems to be swelled…
