It reads that data direct from the batteries BMS hardware, I don’t think battery calibration has been a thing since NiCD/NiMH days in the 90s and stuff.
I’m not even sure what kind of behavior is this from a battery - it blinks even when I put in the charger, however it has stopped blinking since the time I’ve put in the charger for almost more than a day. But the value is still at zero - and ironically, it does not shut down immediately - maybe after two-five hours? Is the PCB a goner?
Android does some estimations based on battery behaviour to make the percentage display more accurate.
This is just the user facing component, of course, but “50%” doesn’t mean much if the displayed percentages aren’t compensating for an older battery losing the last 25% of its charge in a few minutes because the cells are degraded.
I don’t know if there’s anything like that on desktop Linux, but I certainly wouldn’t say calibration isn’t a thing anymore. It’s just done automatically and hidden from the user.
I’m a longtime Thunderbird user and don’t get all the changes they make. It’s a good functional client. I would rather want to see the parts not neccessary needed for an email client to able to disable, such as Calendar, Tasks and Chat. I use the RSS Reader, so that News REader functionality would be on for me. But can’t we disable all the other modules?
This and an first party integrated system tray icon showing number of unread messages would be extremely helpful (and maybe optional notifications). I’m baffled why these things are not builtin, but a Chat?
Well I don’t agree on that tray icons wouldn’t matter. They are very useful. But either way, it would be good to have the option for these two very basic and important functionality. On the compile flags, that would even be better, as these modules wouldn’t be in the final binary / install anymore.
But I would be just happy if we could turn the modules off in the options, so the actual Thunderbird client is less cluttered, less possibilities of bugs affecting me and lighter on resources. Why not get rid of them entirely and make standalone applications? It would free some development resources too, for the core Thunderbird mail client.
Maybe switching to a lighter alternative is a good idea.
Nope, it runs FreeRTOS, but it's still cool that I can build an internet-connected smart device in a package the size of your big toe nail using open software.
Don’t forget that every recent Intel CPU contains an extra 486-based system on a chip running a stripped-down version of Minix (a predecessor of Linux), to implement the remote management engine.
I wonder how you would block bruteforcing the encrypted storage. Once someone got their hands on your device for long enough to clone, you’re done and you get into the “how much is the data worth to you” territory.
And it better be worth a lot because bruteforcing LUKS? Good luck. I wonder if even the NSA would be capable of that.
There are issues with booting from unencrypted storage but that isn’t really a LUKS issue, though.
TPM has shown to be quite vulnerable as well, with for example the usually hardware flaws where, IIRC, TPM would sent the security certificates in plan text over data lines somewhere.
Either way, I don’t see my of these items as something great that LUKS doesn’t have.
I honestly love the new nested replies in email chains they added to the inbox view a few months ago. It makes a messy inbox so much less messy looking
Ooo man!! I have the same problem. My PC it’s the same Alienware M17rx4 and have the Digital optical output S/PDIF on Sounblaster,but dont work! Red light Is off and audio mute.
I think it was win 8. I’ve dual booted excessively until dxvk basically made such a dent in the gaming exclusivity that I just stayed and enthusiastically followed it grow into perfection
Beware that it’s immutable-ish, so you may have to retrain your brain to think in containers/layers. It’s one of my favorite ways to do Linux, though, and I don’t think I can ever go back.
If it doesn’t fit, you could look into how you can roll your own based on an upstream image and booting from a distrobox or podman container.
Not really, Fedora is upstream of CentOS Stream, which itself is upstream of RHEL. So it’s kind of the other way around: RHEL is based on Fedora, while Ubuntu is based on Debian (although not on Debian stable).
Isn’t CentOS Stream equivalent to Ubuntu LTS in terms of stability? They both tend to use packages that have been somewhat tested alas not to the point of Debian/RHEL
IIRC, within RHEL it goes fedora (next major) -> centos stream (next minor) -> RHEL (current major.minor).
With Debian and its derivatives (e.g Ubuntu) this means that Debian-unstable corresponds to fedora, Debian-testing corresponds to CentOS stream and Debian-stable corresponds to RHEL. (Roughly of course).
Ubuntu is based off of some flavor of Debian and is therefore downstream of it: Debian (unstable I think) -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu LTS.
But as far as which version has the newest packages then sure, your list is correct.
I had the FlashAir which is more or less the same thing. Loved it. Used it for quickly retrieving underwater photography without unsealing the camera as well as backing up dashcams, security cameras, and other such quality of life, never have to touch it kind of applications. I would totally buy more if they come back in fashion. Micro SD is probably impossible, but a girl can dream, can’t he?
