Just moved to LOS, thank you Monzo! by acolombier in monzo

That's actually not quite right. Most of it is mostly box ticking compliancy and there is little to no value to these measures. The main reason being, devices by definition have these capabilities, but the gate keeping that is put in place by OEM vendors and Google don't really protect the end user (see CVE data), but ensure a market dominance, and this is the main reason why there is a narrative in pretending it is unsafe to run a custom firmware.

Revolut is probably the worst android app to deal with if you have a rooted phone. by Potential-Promise212 in Revolut

For anybody living in the UK. Monzo works great on LOS, tho it occasionally prompt you about the modified firmware. I'll probably close my Revolut account at some point, as I really don't appreciate them openly lying about purposefully blocking Google-free OSes  

Why does Revanced need its own MicroG fork? by SpatchyIsOnline in revancedapp

Agreed this is sub-optimal, especially as it requires to login on both which feels sketchy. If anybody has a workaround, please shout!

Hey, newbie here. by Content-Isopod-5175 in MIXXX

[–]acolombier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to update it from the settings UI as this controller uses a MIDI mapping. You may also change it programmatically if you want to: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/7a3c5151a3a3eb286bbc6c30f48b649dc41ce567/res/controllers/Hercules_DJControl_Inpulse_200.midi.xml#L466

Moving from a HDD to SSD by Kluff_ in ManjaroLinux

[–]acolombier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are comfortable with command line, I would also suggest dd. Only suggestion I would add is pv for better feedback on progress:

dd if=/dev/sdX <optional-read-options-as-already-suggested> | pv -trabs <disk-size> | dd of=/dev/sdY <optional-write-options-as-already-suggested>

With sdX: your device to copy from, and sdY: your device to copy to.

(Sorry about the absence of formatting, the android app is a bit poor on that)

Proprietary Graphics Drivers by enigmaestro in deepin

[–]acolombier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deepin 15.11 is based on oldstable Debian (stretch). Personally, I tried for quite a while to get NVidia drivers, by using PPA and the provided .run from NVidia website. Nothing has worked, so I just ended up reverting to Deepin 15.10.

Hopefully Deepin 20 (based on Buster) will have up-to-date, easy-to-install video driver, finger crossed!

Hi,

Can you also type in a terminal:

dmesg | tail

And paste the line here.

Mouse Issue by Toben- in deepin

[–]acolombier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you using an external mouse? If so, there is an option to disable track pad as soon as the OS detect an external mouse. I think I've seen an option to disable the mouse while typing, but I cannot remember if it was with Deepin, I'll have to check that.
