  • I tried, it’s not detecting anything. I get the pop-up about SMBus but I don’t think that’s relevant here? And I found a thread on r/openRGB about my specific laptop but the mods closed the thread before the poster got any help. There’s a Lemmy community but based on the locked thread on Reddit I really get the impression they don’t want to help.

    EDIT: It’s possible Acer did something scummy with this laptop, I’ve found some interesting projects reverse-engineering Acer’s crap software to work on Linux and a lot of dead ends and at least one conversation about flashing the bios which no thank you, lol. Also a funny conversation on GitLab “By the way, the link you’ve provided is my Github 😄”. I’ve looked into this before and after about a half hour I decide I don’t care about RGB enough for even the half hour I’d already spent.














  • I went with the ad supported model, and now I’m thoroughly sick of ads and Amazon, but unfortunately you can no longer root their devices, they’ve really locked them down.

    I’m considering buying another tablet just because I’m so sick of Amazon’s crap. I wonder if Free Geek has any decent tablets for sale?
