It won't let me upload a picture but I will try adding it to the comments.

But I have an HP Envy x360 and did a cheap/sloppy "repair" of the left hinge (cold welded it). When I was putting the screen back on, I ended up shattering a place which fell out, about 2 inches x 0.5 inches (5 cm x 1.27 cm) near the right hinge, and then a smaller area on the left hinge which has stayed in place. The screen itself is fine - it's below the screen where the hp logo is that is broken.

Is there anything (cheap) I can put on it to keep from breaking further, like electrical tape or something else?

I can't afford to buy a new screen (or hinges) which is why I cold welded it in the first place.

Thanks for your help

 

edit: I am a fool! Just needed to disable chameleon. thanks!

It was working fine a few weeks ago, then randomly stopped detecting mic/camera. Did Google get tired of me not using Chrome? Lol

I have an old HP envy 360 (internal camera and mic) Fedora 41 with KDE Plasma Firefox browser

Zoom (app), Updox (browser), and a few others still work fine. I set it to always allow camera & mic but no dice.

Old forum posts sadly did not fix it either :(

 

You helped me a lot with my move! I appreciate it.

The forecast for my area next week has temps as low as -20F (-28C), with a lower windchill (I think around -30F/-34C). We will have snow on the ground but I don't believe it is expected to snow on the coldest days. Side note - we are around 4500ft/1372m above sea level.

So far the winter has been pretty mild and hasn't gone below 0F/-17C at all. Snow has also been sparse with I think less than 2 inches (5cm) each time, quickly melting. So I haven't gotten a chance to really get used to such cold temps. We can get some pretty fast winds. I think it mostly sticks between 20-25 mph (32-40 kph). Also a very arid climate. I have a hard time getting my home above 30% humidity. Not sure on the outdoor numbers.

Is there anything different I should be doing for myself and for my dogs? I feel like these temps are dangerous for exposed skin? Not sure.

One of my dogs has medium length hair and the other one is short hair.

For me I have stuff like longjohns, thicker sweatpants, sweatshirts, windbreaker, I also have a wool coat. Then like thicker socks and some fur lined boots. - I'm thinking I need to add a scarf or something for my face and then also make myself wear gloves? I have some sheepskin gloves so I was thinking of putting on like regular winter gloves and then the sheepskin over it?

For the dogs they have a wind resistant fur lined coat and then some winter shoes. So I'm guessing they need something for their head - I have a soft head covering for them but it is slightly too big and keeps falling over their eyes when we practice wearing it. Do I need to get them something that covers their legs and belly better as well?

I was also wondering if I should even be taking them out at all when it's that cold. I mean I know it is that cold often elsewhere but they are used to the dry heat of the south of the US and I don't want them to end up not wanting to go outside ever again haha.

I still feel very unprepared for winter weather so I hope my fellow Lemmings can help!
