I meant any location you select on the map, not custom pins or anything :)

I just tried it from the web version of google maps and it works. The app version just give a link, which does not contain any coordinates so thats why OsmAnd+ cant interpret it.

Web google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Carnegieplein+2,+2517+KJ+Den+Haag,+Netherlands/@52.0873812,4.2953261,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c5b734aa46e079:0x3bc96ab8d184ef1!8m2!3d52.086832!4d4.2955402!16s%2Fg%2F11c26_zxcd

App google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kGiSocirt8b73pHN8

Not sure if there is a way to get the top format from the app

Im using OsmAnd+ and when I share something from Google maps to it it either doesnt find it at all, or gives me a location way off. I just shared a pin relatively nearby to me, and in OsmAnd+ it thought the location was in the middle of the ocean.

I really want to switch away from Google maps, could you please explain a bit more what you are exactly doing and getting it to work?

So far this week im playing Wifi troubleshooting on my Arch ;)

But seriously, ive been giving Hogwarts Legacy a tr and I enjoy it

I think it might be for the older models, I'll check the manual for it.

I tried updating the BIOS but you need a battery with at least 25% charge plugged in as well as the AC adapter for it to let you even begin the update process (actually an amazing safety feature). Since mine has 0% I cant do that xD

I assume you have tried the BIOS reset procedure? I think it’s holding FN + S + V while the system is powered off.

Is this the same as what @Evv1L@mastodon.ml mentioned?

Also there is a reset button in the bottom of the laptop near ThinkEngine controller: Power off the laptop, disconnect both batteries and CMOS and hold reset button for a minute.

If yes I'm going to try it now and get back to you

EDIT: I tried the Fn + S + V but wasn't sure if I need to do it while batteries are disconnected, or if I needed to hold it for the full 1 minute, so I held it down for about 20 seconds with the battery plugged in. Didn't seem to fix it.

As for the BIOS, some stuff I read in forum posts etc leads me to think that the the check isn't actually in the BIOS but in the EC chip, so replacing the BIOS wouldn't do much. Is this truly the case, or does a replacement BIOS also circumvent the EC check? Many thanks for your help.

@promitheas Never heard about battery whitelists. What BIOS version do you have?

$ dmidecode -s bios-version
N24ET72W (1.47 )

Also there is a reset button in the bottom of the laptop near ThinkEngine controller: Power off the laptop, disconnect both batteries and CMOS and hold reset button for a minute.

Will try this now and update this comment once I'm done

EDIT: I tried that but it doesn't seem to work. Note that I don't seem to have the internal battery, just its cover. After setting the date and time correctly in the BIOS it boots but still shows the message about the battery not being genuine.

Its a joke from a new game. Look into Helldivers 2 and the satire of it related to how totalitarian governments use phrases like "managed democracy" and "freedom" to braniwash their populace into doing whatever they want. Great game too

Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.

Im in the EU so will probably have to look on the second site you linked, as adafruit.com looks like its only for the US.

As for the advice, yea I was thinking the same thing. I dont want to overcomplicate things and have to deal with coming up for my own designs at this stage. The project I'm interested in building has circuit diagrams and arduino code included, I'm just not sure if it's all still relevant seeing as its quite old.
