@nanorepublica Start fresh and create a dotfiles repo with a script that does the install for you (ish). There will be drift as you miss the odd thing, but the goal is to script the steps you'd take when doing it yourself.
La durada de la bateria dels #MacbookPro amb processador #Arm és imbatible.
Des d'ahir a les 16:18 que estava al 100% fins les 22:30, quan al vaig parar amb un càrrega per sobre del 50%, van 6 hores i 12 minuts.
Avui porta engegat 1 hora i 20 minuts i la bateria està al 46%.
En total ja son 7 hores i 32 minuts funcionant amb bateria. I li queda quasi la meitat! brutal 👏
No hi ha cap altre marca que superi a #Apple en això.
@retiolus@spla tots els ordinadors tenen una GPU, per tant aquesta no pot ser la resposta. La resposta és molt més complexa i és una combinació de hw més eficient (arm vs amd/Intel) i millor utilització dels recursos per part del SO.
Nerd-Advice needed: Lots of software does not work on my old #MacBookPro (2011) anymore. Any Idea what to install? Simply #Debian? Or should I try #freebsd , #openbsd or #netbsd? Or something esoteric like Plan 9? The device in question is not in heavy use, rather a kitchen-computer for simple tasks.
@jedes_jahr_ein_neues_protokoll The CPU and iGPU in the 2011 MacBook Pro (13", 15", and 17") should be well supported under #OpenBSD. I don't recall if the mobile #Radeon in the 15" & 17" support #OpenGL acceleration under the latest MESA drivers or not, but should work fine in #X11.
Après des heures à batailler pour faire marcher la prise miniDisplayPort du #MacBookPro 2012 de mon père que je voulais passer sous #linux, je jette l’éponge…
D’est que les drivers propriétaires #nvidia sont utilisés, l’écran principal n’affiche rien d’autre qu’un énorme glitch… (cf Photo)
Même avec #Bumblebee, le double GPU fou un zbeul total…
Et comme mon père à absolument besoin de son écran secondaire bien plus grand, ce n’est pas viable, je vais devoir lui acheter un miniPC.
(Par contre si on part du principe qu’on oublie ce port miniDP, tout marchait très bien avec le driver graphique open source, après une petite manipulation pour avoir le bon driver du wifi)
@AntoineD a mon avis tu es face a une ancienne génération de drivers proprio NVIDIA, le soucis c'est que le suivit de ces vieux drivers implique des fonctionnement sur des anciennes version de xorg souvent plus supportées. J'aurais tendance à te conseiller de rester sur les open source de ce point de vue, mais dans ce cas tu ne pourras profiter d'optimus/Bumblebee puisque tu dois utiliser les drivers proprio...
Pour être honnête je ne suis même pas persuadé que Wayland prenne en charge...
@onthefencedev specs? I’m planning to do the same in a few months after using one for work for the last 6 or so years and looking forward to my personal and professional workflows matching for once
@codemonkey85 - I'm getting too old to start learning all the new (flash in the pan?) tech so yes, I'm saying with #dotnet 😂
I use Jetbrains Rider as my primary IDE across Windows and Mac currently - mainly because VS for Mac wasn't cutting it for me.
I do use Gitkraken as my git client, again across Windows and Mac, and while the git integration in Rider is good I still prefer the dedicated tool approach.
I use Docker for my local SQL DBs and Postman for API development.
This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this A2A shot of the Terrafugia Transition. They were way to far ahead of the “flying car” curve.
When it first came out (can’t remember the exact year), I went to Oshkosh and pitched the company on a free advertising/marketing package from my ad agency in trade for a very early slot in their order book. Thankfully, that deal never came together.
@LouisIngenthron Correct on all accounts, Louis. I think I might be dead before we see actual flying cars zooming people to work. Not sure, but maybe they need to get autonomous CARS right first before they try airplanes. I know they are getting closer every day, but creating an airspace system where flying cars automagically whisk people thru the air can co-exist with actual airplanes seems like a lift too heavy for this FAA.
@Av8rdan I mean, we basically do already have autonomous airplanes, right? How much of a passenger flight is actually done with a pilot holding the yoke? 15 minutes?
It's just an easier engineering problem to solve: fewer obstacles, all electronically tagged and tracked.
I feel like, if we do get flying cars in our lifetimes, they're going to resemble quadcopters more than airplanes, especially because those would be more efficient for short-range local flights (where they could potentially even stay in class G), and wouldn't need runways. But then you still have the problem of where the hell do you park it?
Interested to see how good/bad it was. My main motivation was that brew support on Big Sur was gone. So, while some things worked, I was having to compile stuff from source most of the time, on a system that's really not up to the task.
@paco I did exactly this for exactly the same reasons, I've been very pleased with the results! Going to get another few years out of this old machine yet.
@bsod@jose_relland@debugpoint@fredo333 je sari pas sous Mac, mais sous Windows on pouvait inutaller un système 32 bit sur un proc 64 bit. C'est un peu ce que je comprend du screen
I guess the AI in my #MacbookPro random desktop background generator must have picked up that I have firefighting helicopters on the brain today. This is a 2023 Global Identification Chart from HeliOps.
@gacallea do what you want with my advice. I think it would be a mistake to stop with so much else to learn. I’m constantly learning new things for my development that are and aren’t the latest and greatest.
I would also strongly suspect that observable is not used in 100% of the following lessons in the hundred days of SwiftUI. When I went through the hundred days, we spent a few days on core data and then didn’t use it again.
#WritersCoffeeClub 11/12 Do you write on a laptop, typewriter, legal pad, stone tablet, animal skin, papyrus, foggy bathroom mirror, etc. etc.?
Always a computer: either my #MacStudio or my #MacBookPro. (Just got my M4 Pro yesterday!)
On-the-go ideas get shoved into #Obsidian, usually via the mobile app.
And truth be told, I'm always writing in my head: poking at structure, listening to dialogue, wondering what Character X would do in Situation Y. So, my primary medium? Imagination.
Is there a way to get a #macbookpro to connect wirelessly to a #FireTV so I can mirror what’s on the screen to my TV or what?
Am I totally talking nonsense? Do I need to connect it with an #hdmi cable and does that solution still stop working for inexplicable reasons that #apple won’t talk about?
hmmm - so, in the market for a new #macbookpro and torn between a 14" with a 1TB SSD and 16" with a 512GB SSD.
Do I need the larger screen or more storage?
My current MBP is a mid-2015 15.4" model so I've got my moneys worth out of it ... but it's starting to struggle now and isn't getting any OS updates so it's usefulness is deminishing.
It also "only" has a 250GB SSD and I'm nearly maxed out.
@TWSheppard interesting - I'm still upgrading to get the extra grunt but could be worth a look to upgrade this one and maybe use is as a local build server (as it should run the latest xcode with Sonoma running)
@onthefencedev My main computer is a 2012 Mac mini so I'm hoping to see an M3 version next year on the Mac's 40th anniversary. I'll upgrade if it's affordable.
The MBP I use mainly for reading the news and watching a few videos so I'm not taxing it. It has 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD. It's also nice to check out the latest changes in the OS.
I've also repurposed a 2008 white MacBook as a Linux appliance for home automation, etc. It's nice to keep the old hardware ticking.
My laptop's coming to the end of its life (specs below). 💻 🔨
Every time this sort of thing happens, it takes me by surprise.
I guess my digital life flashes before my eyes and I wonder what I need all this power for.
I'm no longer the kind of power user I was when I got it. I occasionally flex for a couple of things like converting videos, but generally I write, I use cloud-based tools and I do the things that you can't do on a phone (#adulting, invoicing, dual-screens, collaboration).
Everything new seems overkill, overpriced and not really value-add.
Would love to be desktop, and on a Linux distro, but portability and cloud lock-in is enough of a thing. #Upgradablity and #RightToRepair are no longer nice-to-haves. The research gets me nowhere (Framework, Dell, Apple, eBay are where I end up).
I guess every direction forward has thorns: get something more than I need, rip up familiarity and start over or scour for a solid second-hand machine and merge parts.
I am looking forward to saying goodbye to one of the worst keyboards I've ever used. 😂
For right now, time is on my side, I'm grounded using this like a desktop.
I'm not looking for reassurance or advice, but I would love to hear of uplifting experiences people have had when they face this situation. 😘
@faiz I got a desktop thrown out by a closing charity. It is probably 8 years old. Runs #fedora or #ubuntu fine and it's our family TV basically. I got a laptop thrown out as scrap (because: #windows will make that happen) and it is still going 10, 12 yrs old, with just a new SSD (and #linux ofc). My daily laptop (I'm a dev) is a #framework but with less specs than the one you're moving on from. Had to buy when my dell xps (never buy these!) died and they didn't do parts (less than 5 years after sale - boo). Have already used its #repairable feature thanks to clumsy orange juice drinking!
@Jgmeadows@faiz
Yes! But... also No: it's amazing that nobody questions this of Mac/windows.
The stuff we do now is not that much different to a decade ago: sure more happens in the browser, but then we have fewer heavy non browser apps going on. So why shouldn't a machine that was serviceable then work pretty well now?
@mikemathia so after they get done stuffing a turntable into it, can we have the headphone jack back? No? The Bluetooth that cuts out randomly is because I'm holding it wrong? Got it.
This hour’s random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this “helluva lotta fun” Eurofox Light Sport. Would be a gas to just take this so low and slow you can smell the cows.
Nach dem Neuaufsetzen meines betagten MacBook Pro (2012) mit macOS Catalina, habe ich mir den Mac als Schreibmaschine für unterwegs hergerichtet und muss sagen, dass die Geschwindigkeit und Leistung noch immer für diese Aufgaben absolut satisfying ist. 🥰 . Selbst die Akkulaufzeit ist mit rund 8-10 Stunden für die gedachte Anwendung noch absolut akzeptabel, besonders nach der langen Zeit. Momentan benötige ich also kein neues Gerät und kann noch etwas sparen. 😉 #macbookpro
Ich habe wirklich lange überlegt, ob ich mir ein neues MacBook Air anschaffen soll, bringe es aber nicht übers Herz, mein altes MacBook Pro zu ersetzen.
Da ich die MacBooks seit jeher nur für Schreibarbeiten unterwegs nutze, für Internet und Mail, ist das MacBook noch immer mehr als ausreichend für das, was ich benötige. Ich denke, ich werde es noch eine Weile weiter nutzen 🥰 und vielleicht wechseln, wenn ein MacBook Air mit M3 kommt. #macbookpro @Apfelfunk @apfeltalk
So I’ve set up the new #AppleStudioDisplay in my office and, predictably, I adore it. A bit if faffing around with cable management and testing the sit/stand desk for angles, but it’s all good now.
I’ve been using it with my M1 #MacBookPro and I’m considering cancelling my order of the Mac mini as the Pro is tearing along. Wondering if I need the mini at all…
