[sudo-discuss] Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

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
