If it means I only need one charger/interface cable for my phone, tablet, laptop, keyboard, mouse, external drive, yes, I’m a fan. I already switched to wireless headphones when my cat chewed through my second or third pair of Etymotics (honestly forget by now). He forbids me from wearing anything with wires. Other than that, give me USB-C or give me death.

I’m on the other side wishing peripherals would catch up and all become USB-C already. I’m tired of USB-A.

fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the PixelEnglish141·11 months agoGive it a few more years. At this rate, by 2028, the entire back of the phone will be camera bump and you’ll be able to lay it down on a flat surface at last.
I did, and it didn’t work either. :(
I’m looking for one that works well on Android Automotive. So far I couldn’t get OsmAnd to show the Android Auto UI on the full OS, or integrate with the home page (split screen music / maps), and none of the others I tried in F-droid worked at all. I need something because I’m tired of using my phone, and I don’t have Google services on my tablet (flashed with a custom build of Lineage / Android Automotive OS).
It would be nice to have an open source version of the big screen systems they’re putting in the newest cars…
fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Cars Are Rolling Computers Now. So What Happens When They Stop Getting Updates?English4·11 months agoImagine something as outlandish as user serviceable infotainment systems. Like they used to have in the old days. I’m hanging on by a thread to my basic 2014 car which still has a double DIN slot I can put my own system into…some day
fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Cars Are Rolling Computers Now. So What Happens When They Stop Getting Updates?English3·11 months agoThe company that didn’t see the 3G sunset coming, I would think. I know auto moves slow, but damn…4G was out for what, 4-5 years before development likely started on the 2019 model year?
fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Cars Are Rolling Computers Now. So What Happens When They Stop Getting Updates?English231·1 year agoHow is the 3G sunset not solvable by just swapping out a modem module for an LTE or 5G one and maybe installing some new modem firmware? A lot of cars are running a Linux kernel under the hood, so I’d think it’s pretty well swap and go

fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OSEnglish17·1 year agoWindows 3.1 did have a BSOD. It wasn’t always fatal, you could try to hit enter to go back to Windows, but most of the time it wasn’t really recoverable, Windows often wouldn’t work right afterwards.
I ran into them all the time in 3.11 on our 486 which had some faulty RAM (the BSOD would even be scrambled). If we could get back to Windows after that, it’d just be in a zombie state where moving the mouse around would paint stuff over whatever was left on screen, and wouldn’t respond to clicks or keypresses.
Fun times.
Yes. I literally had to close a bank account to get Planet Fitness to stop charging me.
fury@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Having a bunch of beers rn & trying out Debian for the first time. Will I have regrets? 🤔 happy Saturday to all, drink something delicious today 🍻21·1 year agoRegrets aplenty after some of the things I’ve drank, but none of them are about Debian.
The red means it’s not cooked all the way. Better be safe…
fury@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmwareEnglish56·1 year agoHow do these things not have unbrickable A/B firmware partitions by now? Even I have that on a $2 microcontroller. Self-test doesn’t pass after an update? Instant automatic rollback to the previous working partition.
I’d love to comply, but unfortunately the last time I tried Windows 11, my Ethernet and WiFi quit working and I had to roll back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ how do you screw up something as basic and necessary as the internet connection?
fury@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Winamp is going open source, and it feels like the early 2000s again51·1 year agoI wonder what the aim is. Trying to get relevant again? I haven’t used Winamp in many many years. I’m a Spotify / YouTube kind of guy now. I drank the koolaid. It’s a little late and things like VLC have a pretty solid offering now, without all gotchas that this will have (such as you apparently can’t call it Winamp and will have to sign away a sacrificial child to actually get the code)
I like my Kubernetes setup at work. It runs Nextcloud, Mattermost, GitLab, company website, several embedded firmware OTA update sites, a few internal apps. Nextcloud was pretty easy to install on it with Helm, just a single command line and a yaml file to specify domain, settings, etc. I had some teething issues in my early setup where the database would get wiped inexplicably, but it’s been running smooth for years now. (Yes, I know, bad juju running databases on Kubernetes…I’m used to it and it mostly works)
Well, then, they ought to drop enough dirt for me to patch it. You think I carry stacks of dirt around with me all the time?
Rocking an MX Master 3. Best mouse I’ve ever used. It boggles my mind that the mouse can charge with USB-C but the receiver dongle is still USB-A.
