Ano sa tingin nyo? Business plan lang ba ang pag-tanggal ng headphone jacks sa mga mobile devices?

I use wired and wireless headphones pero I prefer wired kasi masmalinis ang tunog at walang extra config sa settings, no need to charge/power.

Yung dahilan bakit nag-decide ako na mag-jumpship. Valve, Steam Deck, Steam OS and Proton made it possible for gamers and power users ng PCs like me leave Microslop.

Enjoying more than 8 months gaming and daily driving a Linux-based machine. Both my service laptop and gaming desktop now runs in Linux. Good thing hindi ako naglalaro ng games that needs Anti-cheat. Madami din ways to run some of my Windows-based apps as long as di sila part ng major players like Adobe and Autodesk. For now, I dual boot to a small SSD para lang magamit yung mga products na yan on the 1st version of Windows 11.

Iba yung bilis and less delays (dahil sa biglaang Windows update).

I have been using WIndows since 3.1 version. Pero, this time, a change is necessary for privacy and ownership. No to full AI automation and subscription-based products. We have the right to own the products na binibili natin.

If you are a long time Windows user, I recommend starting with Linux Mint as the interface is more similar. Para mabawasan ang confusion and fewer concepts to learn as you go along.

For decades, Microsoft controlled PC gaming. If you wanted to play,...

After 6 months of using Linux Mint (Cinnamon), mas stable yung mga device ko sa repair shop. Yung service PC ko lang ang naka dual boot with Windows 11 to go. Most of the time nasa Linux ako for research. Windows naman if need mag diagnostic ng parts.

Mga napansin ko na difference:
- boot up and shutdown is fast regardless kung normal shutdown, hibernation or sleep.
- no annoying FORCED updates. Update your Linux machine on your own pace. As long as apps and system works, I don't do updates.
- most games and apps works well. Goodbye lang muna sa MSOffice, Adobe products, Autodesk apps. Nag hanap na lang ako ng alternatives na may same concepts. Interface might be different but the idea is the same more or less.
- multi-player games that has anti cheat does not work.

Will I recommended it to my clients? Yes and No.

Yes if you are techie, may time to learn and adapt, di kailangan ng mga apps that will only run in Windows environment. If you are just using your computer for daily basic use (like browsing, checking emails, watching youtube, etc. If you have an old hardware of device na di na kaya paandarin sa latest Windows version. Linux will make it possible.

Hard No, if you're fully dependent sa apps that runs on Windows (or Mac). At kung walang time mag-aral ng new system. If you play games that are not fully compatible sa Linux. (Check Proton DB for the list compatible games. )

Ongoing laptop repair. Lenovo Yoga 730 13IKB. Slow system due for reformatting. But additional diagnostics showed a failed battery causing the slow-down.

After ko i-reformat, same output. Upon further checking, naka-lock sa 400mhz ang processor speed. It turns out, the battery health is only 33% causing the laptop to prevent running on its default clock (1.8ghz base). I normally see this setup sa Dell laptops and desktops. Reduced perfomance speeds to prevent further damage.

For now, detaching the battery has solved the issue. It can be used temporarily plugged sa wall charger or have the battery replaced (if available).

On going laptop repair. Broken LCD mount. Di po maisarado ang laptop. Binabyahe daw po ni client and laptop na nakaopen na lang lagi.

Cause: Broken plastic kung saan nakakabit mga mounting screws. Normal issue ng laptops. Due to heat na din lumulutong mga plastic at the same time humihigpit yung tension ng hinges. The best solution is to REPLACE THE WHOLE BASE/BOTTOM PANEL. Problem lang mahirap mag-order or makahanap ng replacement part sa market.

Unit is Acer Swift 3.

Fix: Rebuild mounting points, adjust tension of hinge.
