[Dorset] LinkedIn group

[Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty]

Hi there,

Back in 2017 I sent a request to join the DLUG LinkedIn group and then 
promptly forgot about it. I noticed the other day and thought I should 
prompt whoever it is who manages it to accept - it's probably pretty 
useful for me to have some extra connections at this early stage in my 
career.


Thanks,

Hamish

[Dorset] Strange NMI error from dmesg

[Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty]

Hi there,

The other day I just happened across a strange error message from dmesg 
while looking for something else. The output was:


[ 8168.931461] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3d on CPU 0.
[ 8168.931466] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
[ 8168.931468] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

I had never heard of NMIs until now, but they appear to be related to 
hardware problems, which is unfortunate because this is on a 
liquid-damaged laptop that I cleaned and repaired. It did however only 
happy when resuming/sleeping, which is sometimes glitchy with this 
laptop anyway. I haven't seen it again since.


I'm hoping that this is a one-off weird thing, or just related to 
suspend/resume rather than an indicator that my laptop is about to take 
the trip to the big recycling centre in the sky.


Thoughts?

Hamish
