Cups-browsed-eez nutz!

Hey, in case you’re not familiar with it, the Party for Socialism and Liberation is a communist party, not some right wing formation like the tea party or whatever.

So nothing about my support for that party would make me a supporter of trump.

I’m voting party for Socialism and Liberation in November and you can too.

They’re running on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.

No word on their position with regard to Israel’s war with Lebanon, but I’m confident it’s one that I’ll support.

man, that's tempting. thanks for the heads up!

Serial and audio outs? You got me seriously rethinking my bench…

What kvm if you don’t mind my asking?

I don’t use Wayland for other reasons, but if I did and it broke barrier I’d switch to x11.

Might be worth investigating what you use that is incompatible with x…

here's hoping i showed enough civility to not catch a ban.

Barrier is synergy but no cost

E: It works fine for me across macos, windows and Linux but I don’t use Wayland so that might affect you.

E2 looks like Wayland breaks barrier.

I gave a quick overview in another post, but in case you’d like some guidance unique to your repair, post pictures with the legs of the port and the spot it goes in with good enough focus and zoom that I can see the traces and pads and legs.

I do this kind of repair work every day, if everything is in good shape it’s no problem but if you have a damaged port or ripped pads/traces then you’ll need to change tack a little.

Yeah it sucks

You’re gonna need a hot air station. If it’s actually usb3 and not just usb in a c sized connector then you usually wont be able to do it with just an iron.

The process is:

Clean the site and all through holes (they won’t be for usb pins but instead for physical connection). Use flux.

Reapply solder to all surface mount pads.

Preheat the area.

Apply flux.

Manipulate the new port into place. If you can, tack it down at a few spots.

Reflow all the pins. Use flux.

Have you confirmed that the port itself isn’t damaged? The pads it connects to?
