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

Probably not.

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”
Some websites I know actually do this - usually end up getting around it by using selectors to identify elements nested in a particular order, rather than using class names. Nowhere near as reliable though
Precisely this
Mine can also dehydrate food super quickly with a variable fan speed, which my traditional oven can’t do without burning through a ton of unnecessary energy
I wholeheartedly agree with this tbh. Love FreeCAD for my 3D printing stuff, pretty much use it daily, however compared to something like Solidworks or AutoCAD it would be torture IMO to willingly chose FreeCAD for a complex real world product.
The biggest roadblock for FreeCAD right now is that is isn’t that forgiving, you often have to go into a “technical” way of thinking to work around its quirks. The reality is, designers want to design, not become technical experts at navigating FreeCAD.
Even something like creating a thread shouldn’t be as involved as FreeCAD makes it - once you get used to it it’s OK, but in other CAD solutions it’s often as simple as clicking a hole and choosing a thread creation tool…
I’m probably an outlier lol, I installed the Windows version of 7zip (via wine) alongside the native Linux version just to have a GUI for setting the compression parameters if I’m creating a new archive from the file manager
Steam deck is the only linux device that does AFAIK, via their in-house compositor Gamescope.
It’s on GitHub, but I have a feeling some of the HDR specfics that would be needed for an open source linux implementation could be at the ransom of some standards body, like 4K 120fps support on AMD graphics cards under Linux
That thread could do with one of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant
Hehehe
Micromobility is pretty active if you’re interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it’s pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️
After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting 😭
I use it on the deck - it works really well, however you can definitely see the artifacting when fast motion is occuring. There are also some odd bugs when using SMAA with FSR turned on, where the frame gen model gets confused and starts moving the game UI/HUD with the camera.
Apparently it works much better at framerates above 60FPS since the model has more data to predict future frames…
If you have genuine DLSS available it’s probably better to stick to that IMO
I used to use MQTT, static_status and Healthchecks.io, and have that data passed through to Home Assistant, but it started to get pretty cumbersome as the amount of machines I had grew.
I now use just Zabbix and HealthchecksIO. I did need to spend some time writing new templates for some additional data I wanted to collect (like SMART data for SSDs that provide health metrics in non-standard attributes, and HealthchecksIO so I could see the status of various checks on my zabbix dashboard)
Zabbix also has some additional features I found appealing, like proxies that can continue recording data when the main server is down, and built in encryption. Some checks like open ports/icmp responses etc can be checked using either the local agent, the remote server, or both, which helps quickly diagnose things like firewall config issues.
I did look at some other solutions, but I wanted something integrated to hit the ground running. Mobile apps are very limited, and there is no official one to my knowledge. I use Moobix which I don’t believe is FOSS - but I could be wrong there
Try each solution out and see what works best for you!
Welcome!
Since you’re on the lemmy.world instance, there’s a bunch of additional interfaces available to you:
If you’re on mobile, there’s a ton of apps to choose from at https://join-lemmy.org/apps , or if PWAs are more your thing, your instance has the Voyager/Mlmym interface setup at https://m.lemmy.world/
Finding communities used to be difficult, but it should be straightforward now just from the search, seeing as it is the largest instance.
Hope you enjoy your stay 😁
There are also DLL mods that convert nvidia’s DLSS API to AMD FSR, in which case games usually need to be fooled into thinking the GPU is made by nvidia and not AMD
The entire situation and Linus’s online persona changes over the years has left a seriously sour taste in my mouth tbh. In recent years Luke has had to rein Linus in on the WAN show on a much more frequent basis too.
And then that whole issue where LMG was knowingly releasing inaccurate videos, not adequately covering products, and the whole Billet Labs situation.
For LTT to regain my interest as an ex viewer, there need to be some serious visible changes made. Having the new dedicated CEO is good, but Linus’s attitude and its impact on the workplace culture & public perception is not great IMO. While he’s the main reason the channel was successful, it’s probably time he let the hosts take the wheel. Jake has lots of potential, as well as some of the other usual faces on Short Circuit.
If I feel a desire for tech entertainment nowadays I just watch j2c or one of the many other smaller channels out there, then GN for general news and analysis
Typically free of charge for the country’s public services to get a domain if the registrar is based within the country.
There are other countries that don’t actually own their TLDs like .io, .tk, .ga, .cf etc. Mali recently forcibly reposessed their .ml domain from overseas ownership IIRC
I personally think some types of openly developed software projects should have a strict non-commercial license: if companies aren’t willing to contribute back to the source IMO they shouldn’t be granted permission to freeload & have volunteers fix issues their paying customers run into
Donations are possibly a bit of an exception here - there are quite a few companies that still do this, albeit growing slimmer by the day.
Another big problem IMO is the subset of users that start attacking maintainers and volunteers because their “free app stopped working” etc. I see that a lot, mostly in the arduino community, but especially egregiously on the Zabbix project - I imagine a lot of those users are companies who aren’t even paying/donating to the project
On models without a charge port, some of the batteries aren’t even flat when the pods are burnt out 🤷♂️
Worst i’ve read is around 3.8v under load, which is roughly 60% full… that would be a very destructive result compressed in the back of a garbage truck.
Been harvesting these so far but don’t have enough projects to use them in.
shudders thinking about SAO
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
