While all this talk about Smartphone battery replacement is happening, nobody seems to ever talk about the laptop batteries these days also being a hassle to replace.

I own one of these. I have zero issues replacing the cells πŸ˜ƒ

They look like they're soldered in there.

I recently gave up on ARM because I couldn’t figure out how to build Alpine Linux for a nanoPi R6S despite spending hours with ChatGPT, talking to someone in India, etc. It’s kind of depressing because I love my Raspberry Pi and a ton of other ARM devices, but I guess you need to be a total neck beard to get it working.

Maybe ChatGPT isn't a good source?

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Well I asked in Linux communities all around the internet and got no help there, so maybe ChatGPT was more helpful than all the randos online with an attitude problem.

I got more help from the meme subreddits than from anywhere else.

My advice, make a meme about it or find a relevant meme with your issue.

It's so easy, just post false information, someone will correct it.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

This. It is an old, tried and true method. The smartass that normally say RTFM or other snarky stuff will correct this in a second

[–] ShoeThrower@lemmy.zip 2 points 14 hours ago

You could try armbian, they recently added official support for R6S.

Taking out ~10 screws to remove the bottom panel and access the battery? That's par for most laptops.
