I have tried this multiple times on my 2014 MBA and it works mostly. Unfortunately, my model has some weird hardware(?) issue where the screen starts flickering when the intel i915 driver is loaded AND something communicates on the smbus. S

This, exactly. I work with similar modems daily. The first thing I do is to run the AT command for enabling adb. From there you can do whatever. The modems are quite beefy, 100s MB of RAM and multiple CPU cores. They even come pre-installed

As someone who as also spent way more hours on LTE/5G modems than I want to, this post resonates with me. I also learned a few things, namely about the ECM. I will have to look into that. Thanks! As for the firmware. It seems to just b

Huh, interesting. That "Hunting of a spider" clip almost follows part of the intro sections in Children of Time 1-to-1. Feels like someone took 'inspiration' in someone else's homework. I wonder if it was BBC or Adr

As "rescently" as 2014 I as involved with an old computer, controlling a pre-processing stage for a high volume composite casting factory. It turned out the computer had a modem and was connected with its own phone line. It also h

I have used Plant UML a lot and I love it. Anything that can help me draw less figures is a bonus and the markup language they use is pretty flexible and ergonomic. However, I have one major gripe with Plant UML. About 3-4 years ago, my loc

A few weeks ago, I tried doing this with the LADSPA version of RNNoise and ALSA, but couldn't get it to work reliably. I have also experimented with NoiseTorch which routes the microphone through LADSPA using Pulseaudio but it didn&#x2

One example is Freifunk in Germany. There is also a large network in Spain, but I forget what it is called. There is also this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25412367 which was recently discussed on HN.

Sure! Almost anything would have been a better solution. However, no one knew how the system actually worked, and we were on a shoestring budget. See, the situation was that IT management, who officially had the responsibility for the PC sa

I have a fun anecdote involving DOSBox. Back in 2012 I worked at a large manufacturing company. They had an old IBM PC running IBM DOS which controlled a vital system at the beginning of their production line. This machine had been chucking

I find these kinds of projects very interesting. It is just too bad the site does not talk about the technology they use (or maybe I am just not seeing it?). I am interested in this because I have recently been working on simulation studies

I have mainly used the built in RNNoise support in Mumble. But you can use https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice/ and build the VST plugin (This is also what NoiseTorch uses i think). Then use any

As far as I can see this uses RNNoise. If you haven't checked it out yet you should, because it is simply amazing. It is a super effective noise gate / noise removal tool that does not require any configuration whatsoever. My stud

Ah, of cause. It makes sense you don't loop in Python. This all seems pretty interesting. I will give it a go.

I am currently doing an internship as part of my masters degree where I am analyzing ~30 GB of data. I'm using Postgres + Python and it is working quite well, even on my 2014 MacBook Air. It would indeed be interesting to see how this

I really wish the danish numbers had been reformed. It is a drag to communicate numbers verbally and then write them down. It is very prone to errors since the verbal number sequence is so strange. Exampel: 54. It is pronounced: fire-og-hal
