What would be the best secondary laptop for tinkering

I'm looking for a secondary, inexpensive computer to tinker with. I have my old HP laptop but it has gotten too slow to do anything on it. I was browsing my local marketplace and I found a Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ACL for ~27€, but they say that it is bootlooping. Now I believe it is a fault with the hdd. I can replace it if needed and it does come with the charger. Though I also have an optiplex 3020 with a faulty PSU but it is more expensive to repair. Lastly, I prefer the portability of a laptop. Which one do you think will be the best for me? (Should be noted that I also have a main laptop but I don't want to damage anything)

How to know if a screen is compatible with a jailbreak?

I'm thinking of jailbreaking an iPhone SE (2016) but on ios.cfw.guide it mentions that if the device has a 3rd party low quality screen, it may not respond to touch. I checked my device and the serial for the screen comes back as blank. Is there a way to see if the screen will remain functional with a jailbreak and if it won't, how can i regain functionality?

Will troll store work for 15.8.8?

Hi, I had installed troll store using troll restore on iOS 15.8.7 and I got the update to 15.8.8. I removed troll store and updated, but since I didn't find anything online I'm asking here. Yes, I know that the update is really recent and developers have not been able to test it, but I'm asking because in legacy iOS kit it supports via trollrestore (same as 15.8.7) and it said it supported 15.8.x. Thanks for your responses!

iOS 15.8.8 is out!

It’s still awesome that apple still supports the iPhone 6s/SE 1 after a decade

I'm thinking about purchasing a camera, which is powered by AA batteries. Which rechargeable batteries do you reccommend, that are affordable?

I am looking for an affordable camera and I've found the canon Powershot Sx420 IS and Nikon CoolPix l120 for the same price. (80€, Nikon seller can go down to 75). While a lot of people will mention my phone having a better camera, well yes, to a certain extent I agree, but I want to use optical zoom. Here's the questionnaire:

  • Budget: ~100€

  • Country: (rather not say) but somewhere in Europe

  • Condition: I don't mind

  • Type of Camera: bridge camera (I get paranoid about the shoot count on DSLRs)

  • Intended use: Both mostly, photos

  • End use: Personal use, mostly on trips

  • If photography: what style: landscapes, maybe moon shots (if the camera is good enough)

  • If video what style: As a webcam

  • What features do you absolutely need: Optical zoom

  • What features would be nice to have: rechargeable batteries

  • Portability: medium sized

  • Cameras you're considering: Canon Powershot SX420 IS, Nikon CoolPix L120

  • Cameras you already have: Canon Powershot elph 180 (R.I.P), Olympus T-100 (bloated battery, screen is bad)

  • Notes: I know the price is unrealistic but I found the cameras listed above. I should also note that I prefer a manual mode, since I mostly use that on my phone. Lastly, on the CoolPix L120, can I maybe use Panasonic Eneloop batteries?

I found this somewhere in my house back in September but I didn't have an adapter at the time (US to EU). I powered it on but it only shows a grainy image. How can I fix this?

I am currently using Ubuntu cinnamon (24.04 LTS) with multiple user accounts and I've ran into a very specific problem. For example on steam, if I install a game on a user, then afterwards switch to another user on steam, it completely breaks. While researching for a new distro, I found Fedora Silverblue, where the apps are separate on each user. Will switching distros help solve my issue?
