Outside trip to thrifting the. Return to the media lab

by Romy Ilano

When I get here was really nice what if people went in mass to eighth Street and then took the train back to Omnicom in the afternoon maybe on the weekend and modified the fines that they found there https://goldengatexpress.org/106970/multimedia/haight-it-or-love-it/ Gator Talk: Haight it or love it – Golden Gate Xpress Sent from my iPhone

Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: As always we successfully repaired lots of stuff at Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night last week. Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do.So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get them started on their projects? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. This week we have no item check-ins at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins but we typically get lots of walk-ins. And Hilary writes that they are bringing two Chromebooks to convert to Linux: Hi Peter, I have two old (5+ years) chromebooks that have passed their EOL (2022 and 2021) but are still working ok (the trackpads tend to fail on these cheap models). However, my senior clients (I volunteer at Ashby Village) cannot use them to login to their Kaiser account (they get a message "please update your chrome browser"!). …I remember reading about a plan to refurbish that bypasses the EOL problem. Do you know anything about this? thanks Hilary 1. Lenovo N22-20 ; Model Name 80SF 2. Samsung 501C ; Model Code XE501C13-K02US Can someone look out for Hilary and get them started disassembling the Chromebooks to remove the write protect screws? (The entire process is outlined here: bit.ly/cbtuning ) Many thanks, -Peter

Re: My potential angel investor says he can't help

by Ad Poster

I just heard back from the guy I know who does philanthropic work. He says he can’t help. I’m not surprised, but I figured it was worth asking. Marc
