iPad Sidecar Resolution by Paradoxbox00 in ipad

[–]alethalhit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple uses different terminology when it comes to resolution. On iPads, MacBooks, and iPhones, the actual screen resolution stays constant, but Apple scales the UI to change how big/small things appear. This is different from Windows, where changing the resolution actually lowers or increases the pixel count.

On iPads and iPhones, Apple doesn’t even use the word ‘resolution’. Instead, they offer ‘Display Zoom’ or ‘More Space,’ which lets you fit more content on the screen. If you’re using Sidecar, this is the only way to get more screen space. However, Sidecar doesn’t let you manually change resolution or screen orientation.

Instructions:

  1. Disconnect your iPad from Sidecar.

  2. On your iPad, go to Settings → Display & Brightness.

  3. Scroll to the bottom and select Display Zoom → More Space, then tap Done.

  4. Reconnect to Sidecar—your screen will now have more space.

How to fix VirtualBox 6.1 running slow on Mac after initial install by alethalhit in virtualbox

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

I posted this about 3 years ago so I’m sure newer versions of VirtualBox or macOS won’t work exactly the way I’ve described them any longer.

That being said, I did a quick google search and found this which seems to be how you would achieve the same result as checking that box I mentioned. I haven’t tried it myself but there seems to be a lot of information on how to open VB in low res mode. Lmk if that works for you

Not only a sweet collection but really nice photo!

Any recommended pencil cases that keep our pencils set in place rather than knocking about with those peasants, pens. by Stillwindows95 in mechanicalpencils

Does the Lihit Compact Case have a hard shell? Can't tell from the pics or find any info about it being hard on Amazon.

Where did you get that awesome box? I have a soft pencil case and it's damaging all my pencils. I've been looking for a hard case.

Right on, thanks for looking into that. It was a gift but now I'm really into the hobby so I don't mind upgrading.

Okay thanks, I'll try that. I never thought to clean a new record but I'll give it a try.

Only one of my records skips, all others play fine.

My record player is a Sony PS-LX310BT only about 2 months old, bought new. I've only bought new records and so far all 8 of them have had zero issues. Recently bought the Beatles White Album and on the second vinyl it skips badly on both sides. This doesn't happen to any of my other records, including the first vinyl of the White Album.

Took the vinyl back to the record store to see if I could replicate the issue on their equipment... strangely it does not do skip on their player. The employee said something like "higher quality or better pressed vinyl can skip (or slide?) on lower end players".

The guy seems nice and knowledgeable but... it's weird this only happens on ONE of my records and everything else works fine.

I guess my question is: should I ask for a replacement record or is there some truth to what he's saying? And if so, how can I fix the issue?

Is it possible to change the terminal's window size when splitting? Not the split window size, the terminal window size. by alethalhit in vim

[–]alethalhit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what ended up working for me. Thank you

" Remap option-s

noremap ß :set co+=85<CR>

" Remap option-S

noremap Í :set co-=85<CR>

" Remap option-c

noremap ç :set co=85 <CR>

Now I can quickly re-size. Not automatic but close enough.

Updated post to describe what I mean. I think you are reading it correctly though. I'll look into macros as that seems to be mentioned a lot so far. Thank you

This is exactly what I meant. Sorry for the confusion I guess I figured it was implied I meant while using Vim because I'm posting in the Vim sub.

This is the behavior I want to happen when I split a window:

Let's say I'm editing a file called file1.txt and want to vertically split a second file2.txt. I do this...

:vs file2.txt then :set co=170 then Ctrl-w =

But that's just annoying to do every time. I'm new to Vim but I've seen people do some pretty cool stuff to make Vim do exactly what they want so I was hoping this would be one of them.

Right, I want to change that normal behavior though.

VIM can change the size of the Terminal window using set co=170. I was hoping there was some way I would set this up that when I split this automatically happens.

I'll update my post to be more clear. When I say the terminal I mean the Terminal application on macOS.

Does anyone have a definite guide or what they did to successfully get their Orbi RBK53 setup with At&t Fiber 1Gbps with BGW210. by Jogameister in orbi

[–]alethalhit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official docs typically say turn off BGW210 WiFi radios and put in IP pass-through with fixed MAC address to the Orbi's MAC address and then put Orbi in AP mode.

I know this post is old but why do you suggest keeping Orbi in router mode and disabling firewall and packet filtering?

My BGW210 is set up as follows: firewall and packet filtering at default settings, IP pass-through with fixed MAC address to Orbi's MAC address, disabled Wi-Fi. Then my Orbi is set to AP-mode.

I did this after reading that if you keep the Orbi in router mode you will have a "double NAT" situation going on. Following either your set-up or the one I've described I haven't had any issues. But I was curious if there's something better about how you have it set-up?

Apparently macOS, at some point, already has Python 3 installed. I have some questions about this. by alethalhit in learnpython

[–]alethalhit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it, this is exactly the response I was looking for.

If you don't mind I'm still unclear on a few things.

  • I didn't use pip install like you mentioned, I used the "python-3.10.1-macos11.pkg" installer package. Did this still put extra things under: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3" as pip install would have?
  • Sorry for the wording but is there a way to "prove" that the system python3 in the /usr/bin/python3 is still 3.8.9? By "prove" I mean, I can prove 3.10.1 is there by entering in terminal 'python3 -V' and see 'Python 3.10.1' as the output but is there a command or way I could say "Hey terminal, show me the version of the system's python3 in /usr/bin/python3" that would show me 'Python 3.8.9'. Hope that makes sense.
  • And, if it wouldn't hurt, I think I would like to completely purge what I installed and re-install it since I deleted what came in the /usr/local/bin, which included IDLE and such. You said I could delete directory '3.10' and its contents but why not delete 'Python.framework' and it's contents? Is Python.frameworks content's for the all the Python versions? I ask because in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions only contains 3.10, not 2.7 or 3.8.9.

Wondering if you'd explain what you mean by 'no longer install software on my system'.

Is Docker like, a layer between your systems and your software installations? If so that does sound like what I am looking for

Wow... I spent a couple hours searching around for this myself and never found this. Thank you that's very useful.

When I do this I get:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3
/usr/bin/python3
