Repair-It

Did you scour eBay?

Yeah the thing is with 3GB of RAM there isn't much to go around...we're only talking ~2GB of usage which in modern terms is pretty lightweight if dealing with a full desktop OS. I do remember that fact about 64-bit code. Isn't there theoretically a performance increase though? Tell me about computer...

Onedrive integration. I installed Onedrive and then Onedriver which I guess is a GUI for it. It mounts as a removable drive and even shows how much space is remaining right in the file explorer. Pictures open and LibreOffice even opens docx files. I mean, this is definitely pretty usable for basic c...

That didn't fix it. I'll continue looking for a solution. This occurred during The Matrix. I'll check other movies. Onto Bluetooth. I was using this one but reception was terrible when plugged into the back of the machine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DFBNG7F?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_tit...

Everything was cheap so it's fine. Aside from making sure there are no weird bugs (like the IR remote situation), the other issue that I hope to resolve is the USB receiver still gets powered down on system standby so I cannot power it back on with the IR remote like I could on Windows 7.

Got my PCIe USB card installed and then permanently installed LibreELEC.

As for generic vs legacy generic LibeELEC builds: The difference between "Generic" and "Generic-legacy" is the graphics stack. Generic uses GBM, so there is no display server or manager. Kodi is controlling what gets fed to your screen itself. At present, it's needed to get HDR w...

Got my 3 pack of USB drives. 20250508_051642.jpg 20250508_051648.jpg Made a LibreELEC boot drive. It's funny. For Mint, the user friendly distro, I had to use Rufus to write the ISO to the flash drive. With LibreELEC, they have a Windows or Mac OS wizard that downloads AND writes the ISO to the flas...
