As you might have noticed, I got myself a Thinkpad Tablet 10 which came pre-installed with Windows 8.1pro. Oh dear, what a pile of crap this is! The mixture of the new Metro GUI and the „old“ classic desktop is a nightmare. Some application are here, some are there, some settings are here, some other depending settings are there. A… Read more »
I got one step closer to finding out how low modes are supposed to work. When I boot the TPT10 in rescue mode or some other single user mode with just framebuffer console enabled, the device will indeed go into a low power mode when the „freeze“ state is activated! And it wakes up by pressing the power button! But… Read more »
I already wrote about my latest toy, the Thinkpad Tablet 10 (TPT10), an Intel Z3795 aka Baytrail based machine. The TPT10 came with Windows 8.1Pro pre installed, which I am trying to get rid of. While playing with Linux on it, which is running somewhat nicely, I found that there is no ACPI state S3 aka suspend to RAM. Strange,… Read more »
I described the hardware here in detail. The device is nice, the hardware really is what I am looking for. But getting Linux to run on it is a pain. Less painful as on the MIIX300 but still painful. After some research I decided to give Ubuntu 16.04 a try and at first was pretty happy with the installation process…. Read more »
After my try with the MIIX300 failed but since I am still desperately looking for a really small but rather powerful subnotebook I finally gave in and ordered a refurbished Thinkpad Tablet 10 (TPT10). With the Ultrabook Keyboard it could turn out to be a very versatile, pretty powerful, low power mini laptop for travel and work. It comes with… Read more »
Heute hatte ich zwei irgendwie doch interessante Begegnungen. Eigentlich waren es weniger Begegnungen, sondern eher Gespräche, denn es waren zwei Telefonate. Telefongespräche sind nach wie vor für mich etwas kritisch, denn wenn ich es nicht ausdrücklich dazu sage, werde ich meistens falsch erkannt, also als vermeintlicher Mann, und entsprechend auch angesprochen. Das nervt, doch wirklich verübeln kann ich es den… Read more »
Ich muss ehrlich sagen, dass ich gerade wieder arge Sorgen um die Zukunft habe. Die EZB steht mit den 0% Zinsen mit dem Rücken zur Wand und es ist bis heute noch kein Stück der Schuldenkrise gelöst, lediglich aufgeschoben. Was sollen sie denn noch machen, um den „Markt“ zu beleben? Die nächsten Blasen spannen sich langsam auf.
General Introduction Well, Bluetooth has always been a major source of joy, if you are into a kind of tech-SM 😉 It is very abstract and there are profiles and protocols for almost everything – and acronyms! Lots of acronyms, which can really make it hard to understand what is actually written in the spec documents. I am currently looking… Read more »
Since I wanted to play around with the Parrot Zik2 Bluetooth protocol (more on this soon) I wanted to dump the HCI stream on the phone which is running the Zik application. I used to do this several years ago on the very first Google G1 phone. At that time the Cyanogenmod for the G1 came with the BlueZ shell… Read more »
I gave up on the MIIX300 and Linux. I got Linux running but with too many caveats: WiFi, the SDIO connected RTL8732BS is a major pain! There are no official drivers but a Github repo which kind of works. But it caused the system to become sluggish soon after activating WiFi. Bluetooth, no avail. I never even tried getting Bluetooth… Read more »
