The batteries on my Zaurus SL-C1000 failed to work, so I did some looking around and found a solution.
My battery could charge and would boot up my device. While it showed as fully charged it would “drain” extremely quickly.
Following these instructions I was able to completely resurrect one battery, but a second one did not work. That second battery had a bit of a bulge, so I’m guessing it went completely bad.

During my recent Linux distributions experimentation, I noticed a few times that Windows 8.1 would no longer “see” a particular USB stick I was using. It would appear within the device list, would test correctly but would not appear in the left-hand pane in explorer.
I learned that this was because one or more of the distributions I was testing would, for unfathomable reasons, prep the USB stick strangely.
Why Windows wouldn’t just offer to format the stick is unknown to me.

Tiko is a unibody 3d printer which I backed.
To get this working, I had to really push hard to get the filament to load. This was a frustrating first experience. I was then entirely unimpressed with the quality of its prints, even after a lot of fiddling.
Later, when I returned to use it, it seems that filament has snapped off inside it, and it thinks its loaded and will not load new filament. Heating does not remove it. I fiddled a lot, once more.. I’m giving up on it, it’s garbage.
I did end up fixing it.. after giving it away.
See Tiko first impressions. It fails, hard.
You require a wireless connection to it.

Probably the best mouse ever made, whose style has never been matched.
The fact that it has a unique style makes it unfortunate and impossible to replace.

update 2 – this is basically pointless with contemporary hardware and software. Just use the defaults for something like cgdisk or GParted:
https://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-specify-partition-alignment
Use MiB alignment for modern operating systems.
…The Cylinder/Head/Sector values reported by modern disk devices no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on the disk device. Hence it is no longer valid to use this alignment setting to achieve enhanced performance.
update: cgdisk, when beginning with a new partition table, when creating the first partition, automatically creates a small empty partition before it, and thus is said to align everything properly. I haven’t double-checked this.
