Found this cute little guy. Battery bms seems to either be dead or cell voltage too low. Has anyone in the Linux community revived a BMS before or recharged from zero?

I love netbooks. I regret selling mine after Archlinux went 64bit only. It was beautiful (all pearly white) and small and the keyboard was perfectly usable even for my fat fingers.

What's that apple doing there? That's vile.

If you think the battery isn't just dead dead dead and resetting the on-battery chip somehow can help, I'd like to know how, too.

    Whatever happened to netbooks, they were sweet. The closest we got today is chromebooks and they can't do shit

    You get downvoted because people here tend to dislike Apple (which is fine), but that's actually what happened.

    The iPad (and eventually Android tablets) basically ate up the market share of Netbooks very quickly. Steve Jobs introduced the iPad as a Netbook alternative as a device class between a smartphone and a (full-sized) notebook/desktop.

    Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

    Oh I see. I don't hate apple, it just seemed like an extremely bad choice to install it now on a 15yo device. Or bad taste to have mock boot screen.

    But this is fascinating.

    Does it work?
