It’s a mechanical issue of the quality of the plug
At very least the Lenovo for a year or two around the time of the t480 and t490. Early USB C laptops requiring USB c charging really wasn’t rated properly for the constant plugging/unplugging.
Gentle on disconnect. Im using a 90 bend connector that is permanently on the remaining USB c connector.
If that fails too, will just spend a couple hundred and buy another Lenovo laptop. No huhu
Gentoo is great. I can configure it exactly the way I want. I switched to it after redhat went enterprise and never looked back. Stage 1 install.
However, sometimes packages get out of sync an I have build problems that need to be diagnosed.
Sometimes some packages get deprecated & I have to redo my configuration.
Deprecating python 2.7 was especially fun.
Back in the day, manual config of x11 was needed and that was fun. Back in the redhat days, the x11 configuration was in multiple places which was confusing.
Sound still is erratic after the laptop goes to sleep.
I did a manual transition from X to Wayland and that took a bit of learning.
Be careful of USB C ports. They are unreliable but absolutely required to charge.

This logistical prowess hasn’t been tested in decades and is showing weakness.

A war with the PRC may prove embarrassing to the USA.

1·25 days agoHandguns in reality are not a very useful tool. Short range, low power, inaccurate.
There are very few use cases where a rifle wouldn’t be better. The only advantage of a handgun is portability.
This when there was a push to ban handguns, gunowners were willing to compromise.
When a decision was made to attack semiautomatic rifles by using made-up terms, the room to compromise no longer was possible. Next would be “sniper” rifles.

The “watchers” protected MLK’s peaceful protest . Armed protectors.
Needed to prevent KKK from driving a truck or attacking the protest. Not part of protest but the KKK knew about it.
MLK gave the government a choice between MLK or Malcom X.
Guess who was chosen? Guess who is forgotten?

True, AR15 is less likely to be used to fight tyranny. For that, the award goes to the AK47.
