For me, when I am using the phone during roaming or in situations when the signal is bad, I can see increased battery drain and the phone itself sometimes gets hot. I assume this is the bad Exynos modem, but I heard the new modem for Pixel

I may switch this time since they're finally offering trade-in offers here in Ireland. I like my Pixel 6, but wanted a better camera for a while (to be clear, the Pixel 6 camera is really good, especially considering the price the phon

This isn't related to UEFI itself though.
244.
by kokada 2y ago
Yes, UEFI is messy, not saying you will never have issues. But on the other hand, in OpenWRT you literally need to build an image for each device, something that you (almost) never have to do with UEFI or BIOS. Or when was the last time you

Hey, nice to see that someone else posted this post before me (I am the post author). Happy to answer any questions.

However each OpenWRT router also has its own custom bootloader AFAIK. This is why you need different images for different devices, and can't create a single image for everything. UEFI on the other hand you just build one image and it w

Yes, but when I did the migration Kitty wasn't supported in macOS in nixpkgs (i.e.: nobody did the package integration). Now looking at the package it looks like it should work, but I now think WezTerm being superior in at least a few

I also recently switched to WezTerm because it is the only terminal that seems to work cross-platform that is also well supported in Nix/nixpkgs. Before I was using Kitty in NixOS and iTerm2 in macOS, but having one configuration for b

Neither macOS nor Windows offers the deep Linux integration you get with Crostini (macOS doesn't run Linux apps, while WSL2 is good it doesn't offer the same integration as Crostini). And modern version of Windows are much more of

Author of the post here. WSL2 is not even in the same league of Crostini integration though. Also I find Windows really annoying nowadays. In desktops I much prefer to use NixOS with a minimal window manager (i3/Sway/Hyprland).

Yes, author of the post here. BTW, I have a 500EUR Thinkpad (P14s Gen 1 AMD) that I like very much but it is heavier, the fans spins often and the battery life is bad (like, 2 hours in a good day). So definitely in a whole other league. I b

This is a good question. It is not like the current `zed` binary is linked to anything that is needed for 3D rendering: $ ldd zed.app/bin/zed linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffed63f6000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /nix

Interesting the decision[1] of building against glibc instead of musl. Any reason for not using musl instead (and doing a static binary)? This would avoid the compatibility issues e.g.: Alpine and Nix. [1]: https://zed.dev/d

I agree with you, after working with Clojure for a while I started to really like the beauty of Lisp. But I also think the author can have their own preferences, and it is fine since it is their project, so they're free to do whatever

That as the article shows, are not that good because iPad OS sucks in lots of areas that Pros needs (e.g. File manager for people doing video editing).

BTW, I would be happy if iPad OS at least exposed its hypervisor for applications, so UTM ( https://docs.getutm.app/installation/ios/ ) would be useful in a non-jailbroken device. But not even that, you are limited

I really don't have any issue with iPad being focused in non-technical users, but them Apple really should drop the "Pro" moniker in iPad and just stop using Apple Mx and go back to use Ax CPUs instead (and also, a sharp drop

I tried to make a similar setup work in my Mi Pad 5 (it was my Home-Manager setup instead of VSCode only, but otherwise the same idea of Nix on Termux), however it is really slow to evaluate Nix expressions inside PRoot. I would love to hav

Exactly. Before learning Nix I used Elixir and Clojure, so I was pretty much at home using a functional language (even if Clojure/Elixir are not exactly pure functional, but they come close with their immutable data structures). The ot
