  • I’ve had a-fib and congestive heart failure, 2 heart attacks, and open heart surgery.

    Each of the times my heart has stopped, I was asleep, no awareness of it until the doctors and nurses told me.

    With the heart monitor, I can press a button when something feels “off”, and report symptoms like being dizzy or passing out. Doc says I’ve been getting extra heartbeats sometimes. Low blood pressure has been a problem too.

    When I pass out from low blood pressure, the first thing is I get super dizzy. Then a ringing in my ears so loud I can’t hear anything. Then my vision closes in and turns red and I wake up on the floor.






  • I guess I’m not understanding the question…

    You have a laptop connected to a docking station.

    You have linux PC connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

    You want to use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse on both machines? Switching between the two?

    The monitor is the easy part, lots of monitors have multiple inputs, so you put the Linux PC on one input and the laptop dock on the other. Switch video inputs using the buttons on the monitor.

    The keyboard and mouse would be tricky without a KVM switch. In theory, with a wireless keyboard and mouse, you could connect it to both machines, but you’d run the risk of using one and sending garbage data to the other if both were turned on at the same time.

    I’d just get a KVM, that’s what they’re there for.
