Attendees:Ron bc, Ken Victor, Jonathan, Tom, Arron, ...<br>
Ron mentioned codium and pycharm as possible productivity tools<br>
for python development, and Ken downloaded the tar balls. Ken found the pycharm<br>
terms of use seemed a bit snoopy, so locally installed the VScode.<br>
<br>
Ken spent some time getting the ssd in a disk caddy transferred from<br>
his fried Lenovo to an old Toshiba. Turns out the hardest thing<br>
was getting the UEFI boot default to be ubuntu instead of Windows.<br>
The UEFI part seemed to work, efibootmgr wouild change the bootorder,<br>
but rebooting, the default was Windows again. Can't blame Windows for<br>
this behavior, since it never ran. One solution would be to simply copy<br>
shimx64.efi over the bootmgfw.efi, but Ken found that using Windows'<br>
bcdeditor allowed a change of {bootmgr} to shim. bcdedit /enum<br>
showed the change was proper, but trying to boot it resulted in<br>
a complaint of a garbled path, looked like shimx64.efi got cut off at<br>
the initial s. Anyway, the boot then used the "default" bootloader,<br>
which is probably the device bootloader in EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi,<br>
and since that was shim, grub came up, and everything worked as desired,<br>
even booting Windows.<br>
<br>
Jonathan has 6 months to find a replacement for shopify for his web site.<br>
<br>
Tom showed a framework laptop disassembly video. It make replacement of parts<br>
easy. He likes the one he got, with an i5 Intel 12th gen.<br>
<br>
Please feel free to make additions and/or corrections to what I remember.<br>
