MNT Pocket Reform update
========================

I got my Pocket for my (another) bussines trip. Before the trip I tried
to  fix  some stuff.  The  first  was the  keyboard  layout.  I had  to
reinstall my system in August (my  fault: I run the Debian unstable and
ignored the warning about bug related  to kernel modules) and from that
point the original  "EurKey" layout. No big loss as  the only important
symbol was  missing (the tilde). Anyway,  I have fixed it  by replacing
the "us" by the  "eur" in the $(HOME)/.config/sway/config.d/input file.
Anyway, configuration of 2 layouts and  usual way to configure keys for
shifting them (xkb_options) haven't work for me for same reasons.

I have added  a bunch of thermal  pads on the WiFi  and power regulator
(or what  it is) chips. It  improved the WiFi reception  noticeably but
not enough. It seems that in some  point the copper slab (which is used
for heat dissipation) became too hot to  be able to cool the WiFi thing
enough.

There are two  known solutions: to use a discrete  WiFi card (it didn't
arrived before the  trip, of course) and  to use a cooler  CPU (most of
the available CPU moduli don't have a WiFi chip anyway).

I will see how much the new WiFi  card will help (I'm not sure how much
the new  CPU can help  with current issues  of non-working sleep  and I
have no issues with CPU speed or RAM size).

I used the machine in the  train. Surprisingly, on the first ride there
was no chance  to connect but it  worked on the second ride.  I had the
same place but the carriage was different  - they had the same look and
internals  but something  differed (there  was more  people during  the
second ride). In the hotel room I wasn't able to connect at all. My old
Xperia phone was able to do, as usual.

Thus I  mostly worked off-line. The  machine has a quite  nice keyboard
with actual mechanical keys and well-placed trackball.
