It was a month ago and I didn't note down all my attempts. It went something like: Pushes were not working. I re-entered my password a few times, checked other config settings a few times before Googling the Git error message, which

I use TortoiseGit under Windows. It took me 3 days (on and off) to figure out how to push code to my repositories again. The amount of misleadng and confusing information on the internet is extraordinary. Signed: a developer with well ove

Ah, great news. Thanks for making FBS; it is incredibly liberating to find a tool that lets us write Python GUI apps and have them appear as if they were made by XCode or Visual Studio.

I've not tried Nuitka yet, but I've done similar things with 2 other tools to package up a Qt-based GUI tool that has a Windows installer, Mac ".dmg" or a Linux package: * FBS (FMan's Build System) - worked well for

For those who don't know what GEA-1 or GEA-2 is, it's used in mobile phone traffic. There's a clearer write-up of this discovery and its implications here: https://www.miragenews.com/a-backdoor-in-mobile-phone

This looked very promising, starting from good foundations and moving on to more complex ideas/methods, even taking time to explain why the steps are useful. However one thing that spoils it for me is that it doesn't provide solut

I never learned Vim commands (*) because I couldn't get past how different it is to use compared to everything else. I found the selection of editor modes confusing because I'm used to just typing where the cursor is. This is th

A curious mix of old-style and new for the keyboard, but one thing that really stands out is a key labelled "Help". I wish this had become part of standard keyboard layouts decades ago. Other keys that would have been great to be

Facebook and governments are very experienced at spinning news in a way that makes them look good. The Australian government was looking for mandatory negotiations with media companies, forcing them to pay for content. They relaxed that &q

I work at a decent-sized electronics company with several dozen products on the market at any one time. Lead times for chips were usually 12 weeks in normal times. We have forecast sales going off at least 6 months or a year away. We hav

This reminds me of the ethics behind modern British air-sea rescue techniques, where they learned to lift people from freezing water in a horizontal position instead of vertical because this had a higher rate of survival. The data behind t

I have 2x wifi access points; one for the adults and one for the kids. The kids' one is on a mains power timer. As for content, that's tough and I don't have an easy answer.

I reject the idea that humans should make mosquitos extinct; they are a key part of the food chain. If that's not a good enough reason, I have a dumb hypothesis that mosquitos have played a part in evolution for millions of years, base

I fired up my Armbook to write this comment. It's just an original Pinebook with a special SD card to boot into RiscOS, but it's quite neat and very fast. It's also the first true ARM/RiscOS laptop that has been made si

For me, XPRA has been a revelation for how I use Linux remotely. It's the GUI version of the "screen" command. For those who haven't used it and want to try it, you install "xpra" on your Linux box with &quot

You could start by buying an FPGA board, but it will probably sit around for a few weeks while you develop some code to run on it. Instead, you can do an awful lot without having a development board and I suggest getting familiar with the
