2026 digest #11
These last two months in computer-related things I...
- Read CSS Grid Lanes warning by Manuel https://matuzo.at/blog/2026/grid-lanes-accessibility && https://matuzo.at/blog/2026/grid-lanes-progressive-enhancement
- changed a CMOS battery for my wife godfather's computer and... it came back to life! I updated Windows and forced upgrade to Windows 11. There was a problem with the mouse and keyboard not working (I had to force reboot) but I found a tutorial on Youtube to change a setting (deactivate quick start) and now it works fine
- someone pulled a request on the basic-security plugin I made for Bludit! But it was just before my holidays and since I'm back we've got a lot to do at home and we spend time with friends and family so I had no time to review it entirely. It seems functionally very efficient but I may suggest some UI and comment/metadata adjustments.
- tried to help a friend with her computer on Ubuntu that had screen and freezing issues. We managed to understand that the combination Ubuntu 24.04 and kernel 7.0 may be the source of the problem on her computer configuration. Booting on kernel 6.something was better (resume from sleep and brightness change working as expected) but after sometime watching videos etc. it froze again. Booting with Ubuntu 26.04 with latest kernel included from a live USB stick seemed to be OK but we have not much time to confirm.
- at work I managed to sort a XML node content (a list of countries) via 2 variables: one to gather content to be sorted, the other to run a sort function
- I have a dependency alert for les éditions du samedi website that cannot be resolved with a simple
npm updateso I have to dig in but time is running out unfortunately
