Yes, it is quite good for rescuing data etc. because in a lot of cases it is the screen that fails. In your case where the backlight dies it often helps to shine a flashlight on the screen and it will usually become more intelligible. One t

Exactly my point. Changing the instruction set on the CPU won't change the API for the camera etc. Some things will surely change because the hardware backed features work in a different way, but mostly it will be similar enough. Going

The technology is linux, gpios etc. not which instruction set the CPU has. That is completely irrelevant and raspberry switching to USB-C is a much bigger change from a user standpoint than switching to RISC-V would be. Assuming performance

Why should X be allowed to track me against my will?

I don't think you understand the value proposition. But you can at least try to be honest and not spread fud.

Are you making such a big deal out of the fingerprint reader?

by tjoff 3y ago
Yeah, no, that is delusional. Sure, you can go the purist route if you want. But it is not either or, few things in life are.

You are supporting the biggest threat to the open platforms we have. And you are actively not supporting the ones that keep it alive. How is that an odd argument? Voting with your wallet suddenly doesn't count because shiny?

If you want to support an ecosystem that goes against your own interest. Sure, but what would cause you to be that shortsighted?

I'm not sure how you could get to that conclusion from the link? > [...] but actually it only takes around 1 processor to encode 1080p60 with our default settings (which is still better quality than the PI 4 hardware encoder) Power

Thanks, it is compatible and I've been eyeballing one since my comment :) I'm not a fan of cases, so it hinges on how bulky it is. But it looks like a solid product. My understanding is that Qi2 will be magsafe-compatible, which b

No, the article (and linked youtube) is about the magnets on an iphone (apparently also called magsafe, hence the "that magsafe" part of my comment). This, among other benefits, aligns the phone perfectly and thus alleviates wirel

> Really, raw UDP makes very little sense in today's Internet. It might have been marginally more useful if BCP38/RFC2827 were more widely adopted. I might agree if the only purpose of UDP was to avoid the handshake. But this

Ah, that magsafe. As an android user that is the only thing I yearn from the iphone. Feels like a requirement to do wireless charging (note, I have not played with wireless charging despite having it on and off since 2010, so I could be mis

Yeah, and in what universe could that work? I need directions. Seems far simpler to send a physical mail to the service operator who then hardcodes the IP in the server. Or, maybe do a handshake once and cache it for X amounts of time whate

How is that no prior configuration on the client side?

How do you do that and still allow access from anyone without any prior configuration?

Supposedly just removing the fuse could do it (and recharge the battery completely if it hasn't been drained beyond saving). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37973829

Or the park in a garage with no coverage? One can only hope that "smart" will have very bad associations in the future (for the general public).

Apple has airdrop and android has nearby-share or whatever it is called. And many apps are running their own direct wifi-wifi, tons of ways to do it. No real reason for why it couldn't be native to all devices that exist. The problem i

That is nice. I'd probably just use python to share a directory from termux instead. Problem is that you both need to be on the same network for this to work. Sure, I could quickly start a hotspot and share that with a qr-code and then

Why would you use SyncThing for one-off transfers between two devices? Doesn't seem to focus on the same use-case?

Why would you set it up more than once? Copy the config, or better yet, version control it (or any of the other solutions to this problem).
