Folks, please answer this question as if I were a complete #hardware nitwit, because I really am.
My trusted Razer Kiyo USB #webcam appears to be in its death throes. It looks like it's getting detected just fine, and I can use it for about two seconds, at which point it freezes and appears to upset all my USB devices (?), and becomes unusable. It does this on two different machines, so I think it is the camera, as opposed to a local USB problem.
The production of our ultra-portable workstation, the TUXEDO Pulse 14 - Gen4, starts today. If you have already ordered, there are only a few days left until your order arrives!
Mal eine #Frage hier ins #Fediverse.
Nutzt jemand von euch #MagentaTV 2.0 und kann mir sagen ob ich diesen Stream auch über andere Geräte wie zum Beispiel dem #FireTV#Stick oder FireTV #Box empfangen kann?
Oder braucht man zwingend die #Hardware von der #Telekom?
Wollte hier jetzt nicht doppelt kaufen und dann unnötige Hardware herumliegen lassen.
Had my head down labouring away for a couple of hours wiring & prototyping a bit of a circuit I needed to verify is possible. Of course I've already designed and fabbed the board that relies on it.
A bit ahead of myself I suppose, but I'm pleased to say it's a usable design. Just maybe a little backwards getting there – lol.
From 100 people I try to talk to about #privacy, maybe 1 wants to 😅
Many know or suspect the issues with the #corporations collecting their #data but they try their best not to think about it, because they seem to feel helpless against it anyway.
Best way to change minds seems to be - living with privacy and answering questions when people notice your behavior & promoting / supporting alternative #software & #hardware.
#Mastodon has a big #userbase that cares about privacy, glad to be here!
Alas, I have to consider some other hardware that is more BSD friendly than what I currently have for my main laptop. Wifi worked great on NetBSD, whereas it was flaky on FreeBSD, but the audio input was the flaky one.
A ThinkPad, maybe? I'll gladly accept hardware recommendations for BSD-friendly models from at least a decade ago (read: cheap).

If anyone wants to or knows someone who wants to hack on a PineNote, let me know. I’m willing to send it to an eager developer for the cost of shipping. It’s unclear where the project is heading, but it seems some people are trying to run Debian and #GNOME. There’s an effort to get mainline #Linux kernel support in for it. I just don’t have the patience and time to contribute.
I’ve already left a message in the Pine Discord offering the same.
The TUXEDO Infinity S(mall) series combines high-performance hardware with a space-saving Small Form Factor (SFF) in an infinitely elegant-looking, high-quality metal design.
Zur #Nachhaltigkeit von #Hardware trägt Langlebigkeit und daher auch deren Reparierbarkeit wesentlich bei. In Frankreich müssen Geräte-Hersteller auf der Verpackung eine Reparierbarkeitsnote angeben. Ersatzteile und Reparaturanleitungen müssen z.B. mind. 7 Jahre verfügbar gemacht werden, um eine gute Note beim "Indice de réparabilité" zu erreichen. So auch beim #Smartphone.
