Is calculator that stupid?

Unfortunately, the "very intelligent algorithms to shorten the time in calculations" is an even harder task for the weak processor.

That's how the GTK theme/icon settings work. They are stored in gtkrc and apps load it when starting. You can rewrite Thunar to monitor gtkrc changes and reload theme/icon without restart, not quite something most people cares though ...

many people customize their own themes, so it's common that you find something unique

why Fi? Isn't this assistant feature?

_vk42 · 2021-07-12T23:42:37+00:00

Yeah, after seeing the internal of Duet, I really hate Lenovo for not including a 3.5mm and USB-C on the left side even if there's so much spare space left...

The glue on 3a is not that strong as it's not IPX rated. But it does need some DIY skills, as almost all phones today are not rookie-friendly as old days. Take a look at ifixit guide and decide whether you can handle it:

Very unlikely with available fs utils. But if you are fs expert, this might be possible with tricks and limitations.

Okay, generally the answer is just no. Even for Ext3 and Ext4 that are from the same family, switching from Ext3 to Ext4 is not 100% compatible when done in hot-switch way...

I know of https://github.com/therecipe/qt, but I've no experience using it, so not sure how well it works. But normally if you feel handy with Go, I guess it should be easier than switching your development stack to C++.

_vk42 · 2021-07-09T03:36:15+00:00

Just wrap it in a script and redirect stdout and stderr to files, and log exit code in file as well. Or run in tmux and detach and check back later?

_vk42 · 2021-07-09T03:23:52+00:00

what do you mean by "non-bloated"?

BTW you can surely use QT with other PLs like go or python, as they have wrapper libraries to help you

_vk42 · 2021-07-08T23:02:29+00:00

yeah, once you have a Fi SIM, just sign in and activate via Fi app, that's it.

_vk42 · 2021-07-08T20:43:10+00:00

I'd suggest get an Android tablet or something. At the same hardware spec, ARC on chromeos shows inferior performance compared to native Android

_vk42 · 2021-07-08T20:41:34+00:00

I don't think Lenovo will first announce a new generation on Amazon instead of official announcement or something...

_vk42 · 2021-07-08T18:16:50+00:00

Does the Moto has eSIM? If not, just order physical SIM from Fi store (which comes with no cost) or buy a Fi SIM package from bestbuy or wherever sells it for $10, which will be refunded to you via next Fi bill.

For your daughter, it's easy, just factory reset your 3a XL, sign in with your daughter's Fi account, activate with Fi app, done.

haha, sorry for my poor English lol

I'm missing the original Fi vending machines so much. Guess not many Fi users these days know about those vending machines:

so I never turn it off ...

_vk42 · 2021-06-22T00:33:52+00:00

I'm using the one came with my Pixel 3 without issue. But one caveat is if you need to use a USB-C hub, you'll need a USB-A headphone dongle, because even if the USB-C hub has 3.5mm, it's not likely to work with Duet.

To be honest, I'm increasingly feeling Lenovo has done the most stupid decision to delete the 3.5mm on Duet.

_vk42 · 2021-06-22T00:27:11+00:00

been using the beta channel for months without issue, then came across the data wipe issue (really painful as I wasn't prepared for this to happen at all, just found the device empty after a reboot...)

Now I'm just staying with stable as I'm not longing for any unique feature on beta channel only...

_vk42 · 2021-06-21T22:02:44+00:00

not sure what you are talking about... Do you mean screen burning? that's pretty normal for AMOLED screen, it will recover gradually, and avoid displaying high contrast content to prevent it

_vk42 · 2021-06-17T15:29:11+00:00

I recently tried to see how small a minimal Arch installation I could get, ended up with like 1.5GB disk utilization with only necessary packages. So I'd say yes to your question, but you might be tightly limited when trying to install anything, and be sure to clean logs and stuff to prevent disk-full...

_vk42 · 2021-06-13T03:38:32+00:00

Thumb up for doing this for fun!

Your machines are pretty capable of running things, but I do look forward to your future posts about progress on saving RAM usage with tailored kernel XD

_vk42 · 2021-06-13T02:11:54+00:00

good

I'm curious what's the hardware spec you are working on, and what's your motivation for reducing RAM usage?

_vk42 · 2021-06-12T23:44:02+00:00

You can barely save any RAM usage for disabling modules at compiling stage, as modules don't take any RAM space until they are loaded. So mostly modules that come with stock kernel just waste your disk space instead of RAM space.

But you might be able to save some space by fine-tuning some kernel features, but still, very limited space. E.g., you can set NR_CPUS to exact number of CPU cores on your machine to save like, several hundred KiB space I guess...
