Cannot help with reputable battery vendor - there are so many fake sellers of batteries with fake reviews that I gave up. Just the thought of going to google or Amazon for laptop battery makes me dizzy.
But - I can recommend Recoll for desktop search - it is the greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread. And, if you use network storage, you can set one pc to update search index and every other pc can use that read only index. It is old app, so the interface is little dated, but it is fast and good! My search DB is 20+GB over nfs, and search queries come back in under 3 sec. Crawls through pdfs, documents, emails, code, html, almost anything with plugin or text conversion utility. Hope that helps, Tomas On Thu, Oct 1, 2020, 23:15 Keith Lofstrom <[email protected]> wrote: > The why: > > On plug-talk a few years ago, someone suggested a vendor for > aftermarket laptop batteries.
