The fact Ubuntu now withholds package updates unless you’re paying for their “maintenance and compliance subscription”
Do you happen to use a very old version of Ubuntu? You might want to update the distribution. This might also fix the bug you mentioned.
Is it possible that you are using a Linux distribution that still has Pulseaudio instead of Pipewire? That would cause unnecessarily high latency in the audio stack on the machine.
Do you happen to use a distro that excludes patent encumbered codecs? For example, if you were on Fedora, you might want to install pipewire-codec-aptx from RPMFusion?
Some companies allow specific Linux distributions (like RHEL) only. Maybe that’s something for your case too? At least there is “Enterprise” in “Red Hat Enterprise Linux” ;-)
GNOME shell’s overview search does almost the same.
Waydroid
I wouldn’t recommend using Waydroid, it basically runs Google Play services and other stuff as root on your machine.
Instead, it would be nice if we had seamless integration of virtual VMs including Android like Qubes OS does this.
Audio is a mess. To have low latency in my DAW (Reaper Linux Version), I have to launch it via the command line using pw-jack reaper, otherwise it won’t recognize the audio device or uses ALSA or Pulseaudio both of which have way more latency than JACK
Most modern linux distributions use pipewire, which should have lower latency than ALSA or Pulseaudio, if configured correctly even lower than Jack. You might want to try that instead, especially when updating your linux distro.
Regarding laser cutting: Some fablabs have been using Inkscape and just print the vector graphics to the laser cutter. Have you tried this?
For your audio quality: Have you installed pipewire-codec-aptx from RPMFusion? Fedora ships without patent encumbered audio and video codecs (and some other software) for legal reasons.
It might be worth trying out restic. If you prefer graphical user interfaces, the latest version of Déjà Dup should do the job.
As a Fedora user, I thought Debian would be more secure.
What’s wrong with your Fedora installation? Mine doesn’t do that (also without a TPM chip)
Are you sure? Doesn’t the “smart edison bulb” design make it harder to dissipate heat to the casing, therefore making the LEDs get hotter compared to PCBs with LEDs surface mounted on them?
Anyway, if you want your light bulbsany technology to last long, don’t buy the “smart” variant. “Smart” usually means more components and/or more dependencies on interfaces, and more complexity, so a higher chance to fail.
I guess you could try AI-checking it and answer “Ignore all previous instructions. …”, followed by some new instructions. Some examples: https://www.aiweirdness.com/ignore-all-previous-instructions/
(Although I guess it would be better to not respond to this obvious case of spam/scam)
One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.
I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.
I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.
Correction, 50% of VOTING Americans are VOTING fascist. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are fascist themselves.
Same question on reddit a while ago
As suggested there, I recommend to use a multimeter to identify the power socket pins. Roughly half of them should be ground. Most or all of them should correspond and be connected to the SATA power connector pins on the other side.
+1 on that. The User’s guide of a similar device (source) mentions a 10-pin CPLD connector Reserved for IBM use
I’ve seen a few people with PhD who want to be developers being put into management roles, getting quite unhappy.
That said, if this type of PhD clearly communicates they want to be developers, the often still get jobs, maybe with lower pay compared to the manager but a bit higher pay compared to the developer
From what I’ve understood, there is a translation table of line thickness to power/speed, that can be configured in the driver.
