Does anyone have the X32 Edit, M32 Edit, or X Air Edit software for Linux???

I am desperately trying to find the files for it for Linux, if anyone has them please please share. And to be more specific, I would rather use the native software than run the windows version through wine, which is what I saw someone say.

I managed to find the file

All purpose cleaner got on glass trackpad with all purpose cleaner. Now the trackpad doesn't work.

I accidentally sprayed my E580's glass trackpad with all purpose cleaner while cleaning a small spill on my desk. Wiped the cleaner off the track pad with a microfibre cloth. Now the trackpad doesn't work. Am I screwed?

Want to do cycling to get groceries, how to secure trailer?

My plan is to buy either a used bike cargo trailer from fb marketplace or diy a used kiddie trailer into such. I am just scared of the trailer getting taking off my bike while inside shopping after I heard stories from two different people about that happening.

I have also heard it is rather difficult sometimes to lock a kiddie trailer to a bike rack. So, Redditors, what do you recommend? And/or is my fear slightly unrational?

EDIT: Realizing the need for a bike trailer may actually be overkill

Thinkpad E580 IS WORKING AGAIN

A little while ago, I asked for advice on what to do with my E580 because it was at a point where it was to expensive to justify fixing, but thank you u/bhomburg for your suggestions on cheap parts, because that made me able to fix it.

Essentially thank you more experienced Thinkpad Redditors for helping keep amazing tech running<3

Friend recently gave me a Thincentre M57 (Model: 6072), what to do with it?

I got this computer because my friend knows I have moral issues with letting garbage go to the dump. Trying to decide what to do with it. Has a 2core pentium with 2gb ddr2.

In all honesty, I am considering part stripping it and using a dremal/hammer combo to drill out the backplate, and then dril holes in the case for standoffs. (If I do that tho, I would take the electronic parts to the electronics recycling group I volunteer with occasionally)

Any thoughts from the people here on what I should do?

Favourite Silent Key Switches

Hello Redditors, don't come hating on me, but i personally don't like the click clackyness of mechanical keyboards, they are really overstimulating.

So because of that reason, I am looking to replace both the keys caps on the hand-me-down keyboard I got.

On the note of key caps, I have a set in mind, but does anyone have any suggestions for ones with rounded edges and/or corners?

(Btw, mods, apologies if I used the wrong flair)

Why does my computer do this?

I have a Lenovo M720e, and it occasionally acts up like this where the monitor flashes on and off at random until I move my mouse around, then it

goes back to normal.

It isn't a power issue or sleep mode issue because when either my monitor or PC enter sleep mode, the power buttons flash gently. All the cables are properly seated, so based on the fact that moving my mouse around is what fixes it, what do you guys think the problem is?

(The fan whirring in the background is the ac unit, not the computer)

I just noticed this today while replacing the seat. What route do you suggest I take to fix it and is it diy-able?
