it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...

I believe they use 64 bit time even on 32 bit systems

I would imagine that any new issues are due to the soldering, but I can't say for sure. (unless the button is on the removable back)

these GPS units are still quite good, as constant tracking on a smartphone consumes quite a bit of power, while these devices can run on few AA batteries for 15-30 hours.

it's probably the corrosion, which needs to be neutralized first. Even then it's possible that the metal in the port had been "eaten".

Get it to boot, go into settings and change USB or "interface" mode to Garmin spanner, it won't autoboot into USB mode but will ask you if you want USB mode when you turn it on.

On some garmins those batteries are rechargable, though I don't know when they recharge. Either in USB mode or when you use external power though USB (if it supports it, either by using a garmin car GPS cable or clicking no at the USB screen when you change mode to garmin spanner). The battery is used for clock, perhaps the GPS almanac too but I'm not so sure about the latter.

Also, you should test your USB port, it's probably dirty or broken and that's why GPS thinks something is plugged in. Try measuring resistance between USB data pins.

edit - you can try neutralizing the corrosion too

It was definitely bizarre. I just went back to SteamOS and an SD card with a regular linux distribution for software that cannot run on SteamOS.

I'm talking about the SteamOS-style OOTB experience, not KDE wifi manager.

Dunno why you had issues, but you’re the first person I’ve heard of that had issues like that. Weird.

the biggest lol thing that happened was when I went to connect to my Wi-Fi and there was no way to enter the password. The password prompt showed up, but there was no connect button after entering it. Had to use wired connection via USB-C adapter to get past the initial setup.

 

There are many ways and tools to choose your next device, but some are better than others. How do you do it?

I'll begin - I tend to use Kimovil, however it lacks pricing for many devices and thus makes the process harder. Has many filters though, from headphone jack to different 5G and 4G bands.
