Is it just the frayed wires that’s causing the issue? Did they short together to destroy the charger?

That’s true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the “Dell has detected a non-Dell charger” scenario.
Are ya winning, son?
If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.
Dell is really crappy about third party chargers. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well… then they didn’t… then they did again. Don’t know which phase they’re on right now, but I’d dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.
I used to work next to small commercial bakery, and they would give us stuff from time to time if it was near the sell-by date and they hadn’t scheduled a shipment.
One day they gave us some of those tiny vending packs of muffins, the ones with two little colorful things in plastic. They were awful. So bad we bet that even the ants wouldn’t touch them if we left it out.
It’s been three years now and that muffin is still there, identical to the day we set it down (not counting the dust).
Not saying they’re wrong to do this, but this is exactly what’s keeping Linux in the 1%.
Can’t go back that far, but this reads like the first few responses from a question asked in #slackware on IRC.
That vendor story was so greasy it reminded me to take a shower.
They look at the TTL of the incoming packets. This can be modified in the windows registry.
Thank you for sharing, this is amazing.
If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home.
I paid $230 for an open box Think v1 like five years ago, still use it everyday. I tried to upgrade to a v2, but the wife ended up with it instead.
You can get open box, unused steelcase chairs on eBay for cheaper than “gaming” chairs, BTW. There’s no reason to buy those abominations.
Geany for quick edits, and VSCode for everything else. Mostly because that’s what I’m comfortable with. Think I may try Sublime soon.
Kuebiko is literally a scarecrow.
Can you dig it out of the trash? If it’s wall-side it can normally be repaired.
