Bon, après trois heures de bagarre, j'ai enfin réussi à faire fonctionner mon nouveau #lecteur #DVD #externe de marque Asus. C'est grâce à ce post. Merci à ses auteurs.

Mais plus ça va, plus j'ai l'impression que ça devient difficile de faire tourner le matos mainstream sous #Linux. Exemple : une clé #WIFI #usb achetée en décembre, que depuis je n'ai jamais réussi à faire parler, bien qu'ayant planché sur le problème durant d'interminables semaines. Et par ailleurs ma vieille #imprimante Epson qui désormais marche plus ou moins bien avec le pilote bricolé d'une autre bécane (plus récente) de la marque.

Il est vrai aussi que l' #obsolescence_programmée ne concerne pas que les #machines, mais aussi les zumains et que c'est peut-être moi-même qui suis un peu fatigué, pour ne pas dire dépassé.

Néant moins, je m'en vais poursuivre une relecture 40 ans plus tard de #Apocalyps_Now, commencée hier soir. C'est stupéfiant à quel point ce #film, sans doute le plus immensément énorme du 20' siècle, n'a pas pris une ride ! A quel point il redevient terriblement d' #actualité.

wonderful world of IT
I have got three (3 !) #olympus #digital-camera (all 7 - 10 years old)
one doesn't work any more - the „tough model - haha !... I use it as a loading station for the batteries

always getting on my nerves that every single model has another #USB conection cable

after some 15 years the #EU at last decided some standarrdization of this cable mess
15 years - hurray !! (don't mentiion #transaktionssteuer #transaction-tax - perhaps in 1200 years ?)

now I wanted to reload these batteries (also especially designed flatt batteries for Olympus) via USB

didn' t work properly - not on the broken one nor on the other #camera s nor with other batteries
so trying to do it via my #laptop
BANG ... or just .... nothing - laptop dead/destroyed

by chance the laptop only served as „ersatz“ - I got my data back-upped from the pc... but anyway...
as some guys recommended me a cheap laptop due to the endless ... sorry .... shit installing cups in #linux

I had one ordered.

so I put out the hard disk from the dead laptop and installed it in the HP Windows laptop

(funny: did t find the hard disk in the HP ... no 2,5 inch hard disk - just a tiny SSD one ... how small they are nowadays... I know: I am getting old ;)

after some trying in the BIOS I managed to get #Ubuntu started in the HP notebook in secure mode and could rescue my data...
I 'll install linux mint now (and buy another monitor from #lapstore (also broken...) - don't rely on #ixsoft any more...)

and what should I do with the cameras now ? did these old, flat Olympus batteries kill the mainboard or the USB cable

I only found pages on internet about a USB kill switch for #jornalists and #whistleblowers wjen the police storms ths house...

or was it a bad USB cable ? but I had three of them (every Olympus model another one LOL)
