Re: audacious input plugin

No the developer has not responded. Once I finish it I will ask on their forums opinion. My original manual file got corrupted and I had to delete it. I am rewrite it. This time many backups. I have been writing out a draft and from there I will add my final touches.

Re: Laptop charging problem

If the laptop gets really hot shut it down. My other half had a Lenovo Yoda 920 for a few weeks it got really hot shut it down. Than we replaced it and I backup the Lenovo than after that one day was running than it died for good. It would have burn your hands if not careful.
