The computer reboots 16 times when you plug it in.

If you don’t mind trying something different then give the GameBall trackball a go.
It has a lot of features and smarts that are controlled via the firmware within the unit (and as such doesn’t require extra software). Plenty you can do with extra software (same as any other device but it works well with generic)
We still have one and it works really well. I suspect they were over filling the water reservoir
Alas I have but one upvote to give.
Well… It’s not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing…
That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.
The buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.
So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.
Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.
Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.
Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.
Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.
edit… typo
Wired 3.5mm jack.
Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.
With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.
If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life
Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.
Give this a go.
Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.
I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.
Used to use CoronaSDK a lot. There are still a million tutorials online and YouTube if people are interested.
Basically limited to your imagination
I thought you wrote “null” for a second. Extremely fast backup target.
I do. Every day. Decent headphones that block a lot of outside noise but don’t need a battery.
Constantly thankful that I don’t have to find a Bluetooth setup.
Contentious part is that I listen to high quality (generally lossless) ripped music. Bluetooth and some adapters do weird things with compression and you can really hear it.
Did you swap Word for Libre Office?
They pissed $100M away on a project inspired at a boozy directors lunch.
They then rushed out half assed dlc and a new game and put the price up for both.
Poor management calls that customers aren’t happy about. If the quality was there people would have been fine
I thought Nokia was dead after Microsoft gutted it.
Comes down to use case and what you prefer. On my Mac and iPhone I use vinegar all the time and it works great. Also means you can turn iphone screen off if you are just listening (save battery). Same YouTube account/subscriptions etc.
On my iPad when plugged into a tv I prefer invidious. I tend to watch long (6-8 hour streams) and It outputs at a native resolution to the tv and allows the screen to be off.
iOS also has Vinegar, an extension for Safari that is on the App Store. It will also work with Safari on M1/m2 Macs.
Use Pi-hole (pointing to non google dns or unbound) and a vpn
