I'm trying to bringing about awareness of Congenital Rubella Syndrome, Autonomic Neuropathy, & many other disabilities, & health issues. But I enjoy tech, music, audiobooks, podcasts, Movies & TV. Animals, Pets,, Anything to keep my mind off of my troubles
(27) My old brain just doesn't work like it used to, so I'm starting to realize that I need to ask for help & advice more often. It's not easy when I used to be the tech guy that my friends & family asked for help from. Thanks in advance. Take care, Jamie aka WolfCrane. #RaspberryPI #FlipperZero

(26) It's absolutely a shame that a brand new, or new used wireless keyboard or mouse becomes immediate ewaste if you lose the USB Bluetooth dongle. That's extremely wasteful. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

(25) I want to find out if it's actually possible to program either device to be used in place of a Bluetooth USB dongle for a wireless keyboard &/or mouse? I don't know if I would have to flash the firmware program (not sure where I would get it) to either control a Lenovo or Logitech device.

(24) In regards to my post, & all of the comments I made on that post. Does anyone know if there are any very helpful groups that focus on the Raspberry Pi, or Flipper Zero? Either on Facebook, Reddit, Discord, or an old fashioned message board? #RaspberryPI #FlipperZero #Bluetooth #Keyboard #Mouse

(23) Without the specific receiver needed to communicate with the computer, the keyboard and mouse are functionally useless. W*_Lenovo. Maybe #Logitech or @raspberrypi.com @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social or #FlipperZero , or 1 of the others that I tagged, might have a solution, I hope. #RaspberryPI

(22) I just got this message from #Lenovo: Hello, We're very sorry for the trouble. A wireless keyboard and mouse become e-waste without the USB dongle because the dongle and the peripherals are a proprietary, factory-paired set that cannot be replaced or re-paired. (cont.)

(18) I connect the #PC to our TV. It would have been nice to have a wireless #Keyboard. I would like to get a laptop, 1 that's light, but I would still use a wireless mouse. I'm open to #Linux or #Windows11, whatever works.
I'd still use the PC connected to the TV, as it has a lot of useful purposes

(17) #Lenovo's final suggestion to me was that since I'm disabled, & on a low fixed income, was that I should just buy a cheap keyboard with a #USB cable to plug into my PC. I forgot to mention that I have to use a long USB extension cable for the keyboard, & I use a wireless #Logitech mouse.

(15) Otherwise, I will install @linuxmint.com @linuxmint.bsky.social @linuxfoundation.org I heard that it is a very good choice too. @salemtechsperts.bsky.social @louisrossmann.bsky.social #Linux #LinuxMint

(14) Side note: Unfortunately, thanks to #Microsoft, I can't upgrade to #Windows11, although I found out that I can use a USB stick, using a program called Rufus, & download the Windows 11 ISO, I can then install it on the computer.

(13) I wonder if I would get better treatment from #Logitech? Given that I have a Logitech wireless keyboard that has also been bought, used, but in very good condition, at a very very low price. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, but the USB dongle doesn't work with the keyboard.

(12) So I wasted my money, which I couldn't spare, & I wasted my time also. This is the epitome of #ewaste A new keyboard & mouse that can't be used, & money that was wasted. I would prefer to use that on my high co-pays for medication. #Lenovo #Keyboard #Mouse #Bluetooth #Wireless #USB

(11) The interaction with #Lenovo customer service was confusing and frustrating. This was their reply towards the end of the conversation: Yes, that's a USB Dongle, and every device is configured to work with that dongle, and we don't sell any replacement for that.

(9) Unfortunately, all sales are final, so the store won't help me. Is there any way I can get one from Lenovo? I am willing to take a used one that works. I can pay for it, as long as I can afford it. If you can help me, I will definitely appreciate it. #Lenovo #Keyboard #Mouse #Bluetooth #USB

(7) I was getting everything ready to connect it to my computer, when I discovered that the little nano Bluetooth USB dongle was not in the storage section of the mouse. I looked through everything, and couldn't find it. #Lenovo #Keyboard #Mouse #Bluetooth #Wireless #USB

(6) Anyway, they were selling it at a decent price, but I could have waited until Friday, taking the chance it was still there, and got it for half price, because they always have half price on everything at the very end of the month. But I needed it now. So I bought it. #Lenovo #Keyboard #Mouse

(5) I actually found a new, in the box, Lenovo Essential Wireless Combo Keyboard and Mouse Gen2. The box had been opened, and I could tell that they opened some of the wrapping, like on the mouse. There were still batteries in a packet too, but I'm not sure if they are any good. #Lenovo #Keyboard

(4) So I decided that I needed another keyboard, but due to being disabled, and on a low fixed income, I couldn't really afford to buy a new keyboard. Today, I went into a new and used thrift store, and went into the electronics section, and I was looking at all of the keyboards. #Lenovo #Keyboard
