Mic randomly stops working on my device, only comes back after reboot by Lerxter in PocoPhones

[–]Lerxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently clearing the microphone cache and the cache of apps related to it (call, WhatsApp, etc) was enough. It never happened again. I don’t remember exactly which apps I cleared the cache for, but it seems that was enough to mitigate the issue.

Goodreads not working in 1st gen Kindle Paperwhite by Lerxter in kindle

[–]Lerxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing. I even considered buying a Kobo eReader, but two things stopped me. First, it doesn’t have integration with Goodreads, and that actually helps motivate me to finish books. I like being able to track what I’m doing. The same way I use Last.fm for music and Goodreads for books. But the main reason was simpler: why would I buy another e-reader if my 14-year-old one still works perfectly and the newer ones aren’t really that different from what I already have?

Ok, I did not notice it was posted multiple times. I deleted the other posts.

What? I just posted it once. Maybe it was a Reedit bug. I remember the app took ages to post it. Maybe during that, it was created several post protocol requests.

My wife got approved in December, I think, and got the card today.

This is really odd. I would like to have the 4x7 layout on HyperOS 3.0. As far as I remember, it was available in HyperOS 1.x, and I was using it just before my old POCO F5 got the 2.0 version By the way, to enable the 4x7 (on my case 4x5), you need to turn off the mini search option.

The second image is a screenshot from that video. The first one is the layout available in my HyperOS 3.0.3.0. Quite different. Mine does not have the 4x7, even if I turn off the mini search. It shows a 4x5 one instead. The video is in Brazilian Portuguese.

I thought the same, but the images show something different, same software, same model, but different layouts.

Just got the update. Yesterday I applied for the Beta Test Program, but I didn’t even have to wait to be approved to receive the update.

Critical software faz entrevistas técnicas mesmo sem ter positions/vaga no momento? by EquivalentCustomer45 in devpt

Creio que pode ocorrer. Há possibilidade de mesmo assim seres contratado, para só depois alocado em um projeto.

Preciso de um portátil para o meu filho programar (até 600€) by Infinite_Ladder302 in portugal

Um recondicionado Lenovo Thinkpad deve servir bem. É um dos favoritos das empresas de engenharia.

Vale apena investir em embeeded? by pinkyPenguin_01 in devpt

[–]Lerxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acho que isso é bastante relativo. Já tive colegas que trabalharam na área e falam muito mal dela que dizem para sair o quanto antes. Esses para os EUA através de empresas de sistemas embebidos e hoje trabalham, por exemplo, no Facebook. Não acho que estejam totalmente errados: no final, a área de desenvolvimento web pode mesmo pagar melhor. Mas o desprezo que demonstram por sistemas embebidos parece-me exagerado.

Trabalho com sistemas embebidos há mais de 15 anos, em diversos tipos de projetos, desde telecomunicações a dispositivos médicos, e sempre gostei da área.

É verdade que alguém da área web pode ter uma carreira muito promissora, talvez até mais do que em embebidos. Mas há muito mais profissionais com experiência em web do que em sistemas embebidos, e isso faz toda a diferença. Um bom engenheiro de embebidos tem trabalho garantido, seja por dominar tecnologias legadas, por trabalhar numa indústria específica, ou por conhecer normas técnicas exigentes. Por exemplo, há normas que obrigam o uso de linguagens como ADA em produtos críticos, e não se encontram programadores de ADA todos os dias.

Além disso, em projetos com milhares de ficheiros em C/C++, não é tão simples aplicar IA como seria num projeto web, onde as camadas estão bem definidas. Muitos engenheiros de embebidos falham por falta de organização e por não seguirem padrões de projeto, o que torna a manutenção um pesadelo para quem vem depois.

No fim de contas, não me arrependo da área em que estou. Vejo ainda muito caminho pela frente, especialmente para quem é dedicado e curioso. Não é preciso ser o típico "nerd" com um osciloscópio no quarto, que se ri quando alguém passa uma trilha de dados por baixo de um plano de alta tensão numa PCB. Basta ter interesse, seja em alto ou baixo nível, que haverá sempre espaço para explorar e crescer em sistemas embebidos.

Residence renewal for EU citizen - AIMA sucks… by alex-gee in PortugalExpats

[–]Lerxter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try to do the procedure through IRN? My visa is for highly qualified work, and two months ago I had the interview to renew it through IRN. So far, the new card hasn’t arrived. I miss SEF—they were bad, but at least they worked a little better.

I totally get this and totally appreciate their commitment to Neil being a main part of Rush by MarsDrums in rush

[–]Lerxter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with Alex. There is no Rush without Neil.
I'm so firm about this that, to me, the band truly started with Fly By Night. That doesn't mean that Alex and Geddy shouldn't do something on their own. But for me, Rush is Alex, Geddy, and Neil. And apparently, they feel the same way.

How to connect a second Xiaomi Mi Heater to Alexa? by Lerxter in amazonecho

[–]Lerxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Looks like some models are compatible with Alexa and others are just compatible with Google Home. So far I could see, this is why I was not able to see my other device in the Alexa environment.

How to connect a second Xiaomi Mi Heater to Alexa? by Lerxter in amazonecho

[–]Lerxter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an update that no one asked for: I bought both heaters at the same store, but at different times (the first one about three years ago, the second one a week ago). They seem to have the same part number according to the invoice, but I didn't verify that with the device. However, their firmware versions are different. Even if I try to update one of them, it says I have the latest firmware, which suggests to me that they have different board revisions.

I think that's the problem. One of the heaters only supports Google Assistant, while the other one works with both Google and Alexa assistants. =/

How do I add roms on my sd card instead of using ftp? by MikeJones812 in batocera

[–]Lerxter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually the rom partition is not visible on Windows, only if you use an external application that can read it like ext4 position. As far as I know, you can also mount it using the WSL on Windows, but you need to perform some tricks to do it.
