    Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • They cover the mouse in soft touch plastic that turns to glue in 5 years

    This is my pet peeve of modern electronics in general. Even my $3000 work-supplied Dell laptop is coated in this soft touch material that will inevitably turn into a gooey mess after a few years 🤦‍♂️

    Also own a second-hand tablet computer that feels disgusting and sticky to hold because the soft touch coating has degraded so badly on it 😭

  • PSA: Grayjay is really good

    Jump

  • I use the Tubular fork as well, love it, however the dev has life things that slow down how fast fixes get merged in ☹️ in the meantime I either watch Nebula (or use Freetube on my HTPC as a backup, they tend to publish a fixed build ridiculously fast).

    My fav Grayjay feature has to be "polycentric" comments on Nebula videos, pretty cool to discuss with other Nebula subscribers seeing as the official app has no social features

  • YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete

  • This is a recent thing caused by the changes YT has been making, at the moment we've been given multiple quick fixes while the community continues to investigate AFAIK

  • When the YT apps stopped working a few days ago, I just continued watching on Nebula until the apps were fixed. Only went back onto YT to read discussions in video comments

  • Why do so many people use NGINX?

    Jump

  • First time hearing of this! Thank you 😁

  • Why do so many people use NGINX?

    Jump

  • I was coming from Lighttpd which at the time had a very similar config syntax to Nginx. It was pretty much a no brainer, considering I wanted to shift to an automated Letsencrypt renewal process at the same time.

    Sadly I wrote some python web services for CGI (not django/flask) that cannot be run anymore, since NGINX only supports FCGI, rather than just CGI as far as I can tell

  • How do you inform yourself on topics which don't belong to your field of expertise?

    Jump

  • Curious about this one too

  • Why are FUTO apps is so heavy?

    Jump

  • The Grayjay app includes an entire development environment for plugins.

    No idea why the keyboard app is "large". Could it be for support on obsolete Android devices where they've needed to re-implement missing APIs and features entirely themselves (like Firefox/Fennec and the Share menu)?

    They could also be using completely different local AI tooling, or a custom trained model that has a higher space footprint compared to other similar apps. As always the true answer lies in the available code...

    Edit: Grayjay's = The Grayjay

  • Makes me wonder if those are real VPSes, or if they're Virtuozzo/OpenVZ containers pretending to be a VPS

  • Sovol SV06 stringing issue

    Jump

  • Retraction settings are probably your best bet then. Since the SV06 doesn't use a bowden extruder, there's much less things that could be the issue in your scenario thankfully

    To be specific about my "workaround", it compensates for a non-flat build plate (ramped lift) and a cheap nozzle that filament often sticks to (wipe on retract). It took me two days of test prints and research to narrow those down though...

    To get to the bottom of your issue quickly, you could try tuning your retraction using a retraction test, then possibly try recording the nozzle printing the same test at 60/120fps, to play it back in slow motion. This way you can see at what part of the nozzle movement the stringing starts, and change any relevant settings accordingly

  • Sovol SV06 stringing issue

    Jump

  • Are you printing with PLA or PETG?

    I dealt with my stringing issue by enabling "Wipe-on-retract", and "ramped lift", allowing any oozing material from the nozzle after retraction to get wiped off.

    Dialed in slicer settings for PLA first since it's usually an easier material to print with, then changed a few things for PETG, like increasing the travel speed to break the stringing faster.

  • USB-C cables can talk

    Jump

  • I believe cable length is included in the emarker data too, probably useful in conjunction with PD PPS to identify whether the cable is damaged based on the resistance/voltage drop

  • Can I install linux on this?

    Jump

  • This looks like one of those low cost netbooks from the time where "EPad" and "MID" tablets were a thing. There is an edition of Windows CE floating around for these - but WiFi will not work, neither the modem if this has one built in.

    No idea about Linux - there is a kernel so you're technically half way there, but considering most of these had a slow single core ARM CPU and 256MB of RAM on a good day, practical use is limited IMO

  • Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?

    Jump

  • ASMedia is the only controller IC manufacturer that can be trusted for these IME. They also have the best Linux support compared to the other options and support pass-through commands. These are commonly found in USB DAS enclosures, and a very small fraction of single disk SATA enclosures

    Innostor controllers max out at SATA 2 and lock up when you issue pass-through commands (e.g. to read SMART data). These also return an incorrect serial number. These are commonly found in ultra cheap desktop hard drive docks, and 40pin IDE/44pin IDE/SATA to USB converters

    JMicron controllers (not affiliated with the reputable Micron) should be avoided unless you know what you are doing... UASP is flaky, and there are hacky kernel boot time parameters required to get these working on Raspberry Pi boards. Unfortunately these are the most popular ones on the market due to very low cost

  • Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?

    Jump

  • Probably not.

    However, not all USB to SATA adapters support SMART, so even if there is a bad sector that gets remapped by the HDD on-the-fly (and thus does not show up in the software scan), you may not find out easily

  • This infographic is really helpful. Stuff like this makes me relieved I use the majority of services in a browser, rather than native apps

  • Chromium based browser for armeabi-v7a

    Jump

  • Chromium... I'm so getting downvoted with this one.

    Why? Anyone is free to use whatever browser floats their boat 🤷‍♂️

    Firefox itself is quite sluggish and slow to open on that piece of hardware

    Do you get the same issues on an older version of Firefox for that device? If yes, proceed with caution - your device's internal EMMC might be nearing EOL considering how old Android 6 is

    But the problem is they all do not support modern arm64 apps that most Android phones use nowadays. Instead they need this other type called armeabi-v7a

    They probably just stopped building for Android 6 devices. The SDK and various third party libraries continue to add new features all the time, and unlike Firefox, the majority of devs do not have the time or resources to manually code-in the missing bits to retain compatibility with old versions of Android. As a side effect, these custom implementations may have bugs or issues that go unnoticed due to the shrinking install base.

    One of the more noticeable bits that changed is the Share API, which is why Firefox's one looks so different vs every other app. There are other things like enhanced battery optimization and the storage API, which have changed a lot since Android 6.

    IMO your best option is an older version of FF, or install Lineage (etc) on that device and use another browser

    Edit: change "age of device" to "shrinking install base"

  • HA Voice Chapter 7 - Supercharged wake words and timers

    Jump

  • Really nice to see improcements being made to local voice control.

    I personally haven't opted for it yet due to the computing reqirements - instead been looking into dedicated offline voice recognition modules, since they use much less power. Downside is that they recognise a mostly predefined set of commands, and are just looking for patterns in speech instead of actually performing voice recognition

    Would be interesting to compare the two voice control approaches side by side at some point

  • List of versions (stable, LTS, unstable etc) of major distributions from fastest to slowest updates?

  • IIRC Beehaw doesn't federate downvotes. The OP has been pretty heavily downvoted for no valid reason
