Tip: The YD-RP2040 isn't 100% compatible with name-brand Raspberry Pi Pico boards. If you need to build something that has it acting as a USB host, prepare for the slightly fiddly job of tacking a piece of resistor leg between the two legs of a BAT54C barrier diode facing the USB C connector to allow current from Vin to flow to the USB connector... also, the (VBUS) and (VSYS) silkscreens on the bottom are wrong. Vout is *not* VBUS. Follow https://github.com/initdc/YD-RP2040/blob/master/YD-2040-2022-V1.1-SCH.pdf #electronics
I **REALLY** wish "why did that happen?" help/logs were standard. I spent months frustrated that the hand-me-down iPhone I use as a WiFi eReader had started spontaneously toggling the flashlight and/or the rotation lock with the last iOS update and then I serendipitously discover that it can be fixed by turning off a "tap on the back of the phone" feature I never knew existed. (No clue why it's triggering when I use the Otter Box's belt holster as a phone grip, but whatever) #ios #iphone #ui #ux
Tip: If you get an MMSYSTEM262 error from The Incredible Toon Machine and no CD music and you have more than one CD drive (eg. physical and DAEMON Tools or Alcohol 52% Retro Edition), the fix is probably to go into
Control Panel
→ Multimedia
→ Devices
→ Media Control Devices
→ CD Audio Device (Media Control)
→ Properties
→ Settings
... and change "Default CD-ROM drive for playing CD music". #retro #retrocomputing #win95 #windows95 #gaming #sierra #error
Tip: If you're getting strange read/write errors or "sharing violation"s when running "make boot disk" tools/batch files in 86Box and you're using the Flatpak version, create your floppy disk images inside ~/.var/app/net._86box._86Box/ or grant a manifest permission. Apparently there's a bug or incompleteness in the Flatpak documents portal FUSE filesystem. #dos #retro #retrocomputing #win95 #windows95
Generally, I think they all fall under "It looks like a mobile app that's pretending to be a desktop app (the "Window settings for firefox" header, the part that darkened, and the modal) has been embedded in a frame inside a native QWidget app (the window decorations and the action buttons at the bottom) and you can tell.
...maybe it's a mix of the inconsistent font size and the way the modal isn't centred on the darkened region and evokes memories of X11 top-level windows when the window manager has died.
Just upgraded from Kubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS... I suppose, if KDE is going to slowly migrate to a technology like QML that, even in Kirigami, is a leaky abstraction over an Android UI toolkit, it's at least good that it forces them to ship uncompiled QML that I should easily be able to patch to un-tablet-ify the calendar widget's font size. (Though that does mean I'll have to be careful about what I Flatpak, given its designed hostility to ad-hoc end-user patching.)
Just got OPNsense set up. If you're on TekSavvy DSL, following https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipv6_dsl.html then restarting your router and disconnect/reconnect cycling LAN devices will WORK to get you IPv6 (you may need to toggle Firefox's DoH to get fallback working on https://ipv6-test.com/ )... but it won't get you ICMPv6. Follow https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/configure-ipv6-opnsense-with-isp-such-as-comcast-xfinity/ for that but set "any" as the destination address instead of "WAN address" or it won't work. #ipv6 #opnsense #network #networking
