How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?
I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.
I wouldn’t have noticed this if people hadn’t started pointing it out. I’ve seen worse examples out there than mine. I suppose I’m lucky.
The iPhones 15 can accept USB-C Power Delivery at up to 20 W, but they can only output standard USB power at 4.5 W.
That will power most any accessory and charge your AirPods, and it’s a huge improvement over Lightning’s 300 mW output.
Sounds like a great excuse to fork the project and start its own community. Of course, keep integrating upstream fixes, but maybe make the logo a trans pride flag.
I use Linux and my iPhone shows up in GNOME’s file explorer. I’m able to drag and drop files into apps. (They appear like directories.)
I can’t tell you what needs to be installed, since it worked out of the box on Ubuntu, but check your package manager for “iOS” or “iPhone”.
Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense given the SoC design.
Indeed. I guess they saved a few cents by not including the USB 3 controller on that model.
I’m not sure if this is legally binding, but it’s a way to prove that someone said “I signed this document and it has not been modified.” While S/MIME certificates are most commonly used for this purpose, getting one (especially for free) is nearly impossible. Signing with a GPG key is just using another tool, one whose ecosystem doesn’t require CA-sanctioned trust; the reader decides which keys are trusted and verified.
Thanks for the warning. I’ll keep my eyes open. Perhaps it’s time to start distro-hopping.
I use the Windows version of Scrivener 3 on Linux. It works almost perfectly. Sometimes it’ll freeze after opening a file, but force-quit and restart the app, and it’s fine.
Good point. It was quite the adventure trying to find drivers for my T470’s fingerprint reader. It’s been working great ever since, but it was a long road.
Awesome! Now, if only I could move my Mastodon toots or PixelFed photos to another server. Sure, I can redirect my accounts, but then I’m stuck with the old content on another feed.
The project would have to support reproducible builds somehow. For example, supply a Makefile and a hash of the generated executable.
Interesting. Mine sometimes fails to wake up with ZFS. I wonder if automatic snapshots are the culprit.
If you have CGNAT, you’ll need to use IPv6 to get connections from the internet at large. The downside is that IPv4-only instances won’t be able to communicate with you.
I love Thunderbird, but I wouldn’t recommend it for Microsoft 365. You can add the mail account via IMAP (if you turn off Security Defaults), but I don’t believe there’s a way to get Microsoft’s contacts and calendars to sync up, since they don’t support CardDAV or CalDAV.
Plex server. Can it decode HEVC in real-time? I don’t know. But if so, congrats, this obsolete computer just got another decade off the scrap heap.
The states can’t even agree on hot dogs and pizza. A meal representing everyone could feed a neighborhood. (And if you do make it, invite me!)
Yeah, but reflashing a motherboard is far less dangerous than reflashing a $30,000 car. Your computer couldn’t kill someone if something fails. As much as I hate this image and wished repair instructions were made public, this may be the wisest move from a liability perspective.
