Hi everyone, In this post, we will see how to downgrade GRUB on the HP Stream 7 and 8 tablets. These tablets use the Intel Bay Trail platform and only have a 32-bit bootloader. The CPU in these tablets are 64-bit, so it’s weird that the bootloader only works with 32-bit EFI loaders. The good thing is that we can use a 64-bit version of Linux paired with the 32-bit GRUB EFI loader. In Ubuntu 23.10 and the upcoming Ubuntu…

Hi everyone, Some years ago, I got the TP-Link T2U Nano Wireless Adapter to replace an internal Wireless Mini-PCI Express adapter that was going bad on a laptop.

Unfortunately, as of these days, it is not a plug-and-play adapter, and requires the installation of an…

Hi everyone, Today, we will see a benchmark for the Micron G1J38E 64GB eMMC drive that can be found in the ASUS E210MA laptop. eMMC drives are normally embedded in budget laptops, paired with a general purpose CPU. However, that does not necessarily mean that the eMMC is slow. While it will not have the same speed as an NVMe SSD, we still benefit from it being a Solid State Disk.
