Finally broke down and fixed the hinges for the #hp dev one laptop.

Overall this machine has been great, but it's wild how many people (including myself) had issues with these hinge screws being totally loose.

And like others, I had major issues getting the stupid hinge cover off and basically had to destroy it to get it off. Rough design.

But now the hinge is good as new, but sadly without the hinge cover. Adds character!

If anyone is working with a JetKVM and needs a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that works then this lower cost device seems to do the trick:

~£7 or so and seems to work with the test machine I have here (an HP Prodesk G4) which only offers Displayport output on the unit I have (an HDMI module for the HP is available).

You might come across USB issues with the HP Prodesk devices and the JetKVM but you can alter the USB HID setting for the JetKVM via the Settings -> Hardware -USB Devices section 😊

Not having a Grub boot menu to switch between Kubuntu and Windows 11 would probably help here 🤷‍♂️🤭

The KVM seems to be working in Windows 11 and Kubuntu.

I have purchased a few new devices over time, ranging from vinyl record players (decades ago) to mobile phones (months ago). But none of them hold a candle to the excitement associated with gently unpacking a new and cracking open that thick manual.

My choices were never the best that money could buy, just the best that I was able to afford. Nevertheless, I recall vividly those moments, despite the passage of time.

Salut, y'a quelques temps on m'avait donné un lien pour un firmware pour débloquer le machin des cartouches sur une HP Officejet Pro 8610 (oui, je suis fatiguée).
Bref comme j'ai l'effacement automatique des pouet ben j'ai plus le message de départ ni le lien et comme poisson rouge j'ai oublié qui me l'avait passé...
Donc si quelqu'un peut me redonner le lien ce serait génial

It's going to be hell. Instead of being on hold for 30 minutes and getting the problem solved in 3 minutes, I've been chatting to a machine for half an hour, and now the machine has warned me that the chat will take at least another 45 minutes.

In the early 1980s, when I was an undergrad, we revered the laboratory equipment: bench multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analysers, automated sensors, RPN calculators, etc. But now....

I do have to say, the description that HP sticks on their firmware upgrades is comic:

"For more information, please refer to hp.com"

Because hp.com is such an useful landing page if you want information for a specific update.

Seriously?

Traditional case of "trust us", we won't f%%k up your hardware. Really. And if we do, it's a totally cool throwing brick in its second life.
