For several years, the US government banned Toshiba equipment. In this blog post, I traced the reason to a deal a Toshiba subsidiary made in the early 1980s. #Toshiba #NuclearScandal #USGovernment #HistoryUncovered #TechRegulations #ColdWarHistory #CorporateEthics https://dfarq.homeip.net/toshibas-soviet-nuclear-submarine-scandal/

Do you own a #Toshiba #Libretto #50CT with a password-locked BIOS? The guy who 3D prints replacement cases for vintage laptops took to a 50CT recently, and designed a special circuit board that slots into its dock connector to reset the password.

You can buy one, or download the files and get one made: https://github.com/hrushka/LibrettyKey

His video on the process of designing everything is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdeswJreJ98

Boosts are love for keeping old hardware alive.

Ah, bei der #Bahn hat man schnell noch investiert, bevor wieder die CSU zuständig ist.

Helium- oder Luftfüllung in der Festplatte?

Ich suche eine große Festplatte für mein Archiv, möchte aber keine mit Heliumfüllung. Woran erkenne ich, welche Platten mit Luft gefüllt sind?

Hard disk fraud: used, refurbished, reconditioned and recertified

The current Seagate hard disk fraud case is all about used hard disks being sold as new. An attempt to untangle the situation.

Festplatten-Betrug: Gebraucht, refurbished, generalüberholt und rezertifiziert

Beim aktuellen Betrugsfall um Seagate-Festplatten geht es ausschließlich um gebrauchte Festplatten, die als neu verkauft werden. Ein Versuch der Entwirrung.

Mon fidèle casque bluetooth Toshiba RZE-BT1200H a ses coussinets qui se décomposent de plus en plus. Là c'est plus tenable et ça fout des miettes noires partout.

J'aimerais les remplacer mais on dirait que Toshiba a effacé l'existence de ce modèle, et aucun revendeur ne semble le connaître.

Il y a 4 clips derrière les coussinets, c'est un type standard connu ?
J'y connais que pouic en matos audio, donc aide et repouêts bienvenus

Here are some laptops. "Shadow Conspiracy" has a couple of Compaqs - an LTE and a Prolinea 3/4 and "Interstellar" has a Dell Latitude E6420 XFR. The "Murder, She Wrote" episode "Family Secrets" gives us our first Toshiba T3300SL and "Easy A" has a collection of Sony machines including two Starring-the-Computer debutantes, the Vaio CS and Vaio FW, as well as a Vaio JS.

#TV #dvd

My 15 yr old #Toshiba TV w/a built in DVD player just died.

Looking on #Amazon for another one now . . .

Going to try to use my spare laptop to stream & play movies in the meantime but have already spent 2 hours trying to "set it up" from scratch which is a PITA!

Well #Fedi , I invoke our collective wisdom I have a #Toshiba Satellite Pro A50-C-1JC , I'm looking for a everyday linux distro to put it with desktop and only one requirement : No debian based / apt using distro.

I have a #ventoy stick ready to crash test every iso you may propose !
