In 2023 I bought a Fairphone 5 for its repairability. Today, I needed to make use of that. The power button stopped working. "No worries", I thought, "I'll get a replacement part".

Turns out the one thing that failed is the one thing I can't replace.

What a futile exercise trying to buy a repairable phone was if you can't even replace the physical buttons, which are prone to wear.

I have to send it back to the factory for repair.. I could have done that with a samsung or a oneplus. Why did I buy bother buying a Fairphone?

That geordie fella says he can open the lock and that. That's I

Scarfs £3, Jumpers £10, hats £5. What's going on there? WW

I always get the impression Ricky is trying to be funny and is a little disappointed when Steve doesn't laugh so he just goes along with it.

Play a record

He said "I'm Fred!".

Is what I wrote.

"That's incorrect!", my teacher said. "The exclamation mark in the quotes is all that's needed.".

"They're two sentences, one Fred's one mine.", I maintained. "Each one has an end, both mine and his.".

30 years later as a programmer I contest my syntax is correct. The quote is encapsulated and self-contained. It deserves its own punctuation.

I've followed the exampled here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber to set a node priority.

The default is alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo but I want to change it to alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-surround71

so I have

    monitor.alsa.rules = [
      {
        matches = [
          {
            node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-surround71"
          }
        ]
        actions = {
          update-props = {
            priority.driver = 5000
            priority.session = 5000
          }
        }
      }
    ]

I believe the problem is that these are the same card. wpctl status shows only one sink, for that card, and it always default

I set up a nixos powered router using a qotom Q10922H6 mini pc, it works great for my wired devices. I added a m.2 b key network card to it along with some antennas and it works, but given the m.2 b key restriction the theoretical max is 867mbps apparently. Which I'd be fine with but...

I've up hostapd and it's working insofar as I have internet access through it but I'm getting just 54mbps on 2.4ghz and a 20mbps on 5ghz. It's almost certainly due to the hardware.

Can someone recommend a USB dongle that I can create an access point with, ideally dual band or something reasonably price I can buy two of for the different bands.

Nice to haves:
