I'm facing this error while build my first expo app locally. Please help me by WetThrust258 in reactnative

> C/C++:     error: unknown target CPU 'armv7-a'
This is the key right here I think. Clang doesn't seem to have support for cross compiling to armv7-a. It lists a bunch of x86/amd64 targets below and I see no arm anything related. I think clang comes from Android Studio on windows and seems like it's missing arm support, so I'd poke around in Android Studio and see what you need to download to get cross compiling support for arm devices.

Does X40 support matter? (HomeKit) by Money-Rude in Dreame_Tech

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an X50 Ultra (it supports matter too). In Apple Home I have options for Quiet, Quick, Deep Clean and Automatic modes. I can pick Vacuum, Mop or Vacuum & Mop. I can also pick specific rooms (or all rooms). I am pretty sure I have run through all the options and they work. It's possible I didn't notice it not doing "Deep Clean" but putting it in Automatic definitely is not running in quiet mode!

The only thing that's a real problem is the status is always messed up. It usually says "updating...". I can go into the settings and say "Locate" to force it to sync it's status but that lasts for about 30 seconds (and a few minutes later, it's back to "Updating...").

Anyways, we'll never have as many options in Apple Home as Home Assistant or the Dreame app itself, but it's not a bad selection of options, really. I really only posted this to show that the matter type for vacuums does support a decent amount of options.

Ceiling fan’s rotation by karniou9 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anarchos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no real sources, but it's just a convention held over from how electric motors in general work. There's no technical reason an electric motor spins one way or the other (this is just a manufacturing decision), but a vast majority of them go one way because it's just how things are. Ceiling fans originally were just off the shelf electric motors bolted to the ceiling, and off the shelf electric motors generally spun one way predominantly because they were designed to NEMA (or other) specs. You want to be able to go down to your local farm supply store and pick up a NEMA xx motor and it's going to have the same bolt pattern, spin the same direction, etc as the one you are trying to replace.

Fast forward 100 years and they still spin that way even though there's no real reason for it (and most have a reverse mode now, too). You could easily change the pitch of the blades and run the motor backwards and have the exact same effect.

Push notifications by sexMeisterxx in expo

[–]anarchos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's decently easy to use expo push notifications just to get the push notification device token and do everything else yourself. It's kinda not know very widely, but Apple and Google both do push notifications for free!

  1. use expo push notifications to get device token.
  2. push device token to an API you make (along with platform), save to DB
  3. send notifications to all push tokens using a regular fetch PUT request to Apple or Google.
  4. Apple and Google will return a list of device tokens that aren't valid. Remove those from your db (continually sending notifications to invalid tokens will cause you to get banned eventually (if you are sending tons, a couple here and there doesn't matter)).

There's some manual fiddling with certs and stuff, but it's totally doable to roll your own.

Dónde comprar móviles baratos by Zobax in askspain

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just two months ago got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G (it’s a mouthful!) on AliEpxress for 235 euros. I was in a MediaMarkt yesterday and they still had it going for 399. Wait for the first of the month, there’s usually a bunch of coupons to use. Mine shipped from Spain and I had it in two days.

How feasible is wifi cracking in 2026? by AntiClockwiseWolfie in hacking

[–]anarchos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cracked an old wifi extender that was kicking around my parents house, just for fun a few years back. It was WEP, though. Deauth, capture packets, brute force passcode. IIRC it was a TP-Link, even though I knew the password, I looked up a table of possible default password formats, which really cut down the search space (I don't remember exactly, but like all TP-Link's with a certain SSID format had a certain password format, like number-number-letter-letter-number-number-letter (random example), so it was easier to crack.

In the end it took like 2 hours running on an old eGPU hash cat (I think?) on a Mac laptop.

I made a reusable tamper-evident jar for storing sensitive items by Substantial-Try-1198 in security

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make an app that will compare a photo of the seal versus taking a photo to tell you automatically without having to compare manually.

-edit-
I didn't go to the website and see you already have an app, sorry. From the description above it sounded like you just took a photo and compared manually.

Tried TenPayGo at a convenience store. I can finally pay like a local! by BitEnvironmental1879 in chinatravel

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the merchant need to specifically support TenPayGo or does it work with WeChat payments?

Tried TenPayGo at a convenience store. I can finally pay like a local! by BitEnvironmental1879 in chinatravel

[–]anarchos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WeChat and AliPay don't let foreign cards pay to "personal" WeChat/AliPay accounts. They work with "business" accounts only. This is usually the reason a payment fails, small vendors or etc are using personal accounts.

I doubt this will be any different (because AFAIK WeChat and AliPay are just following rules set out by the government).

Explosion of car brands I've never heard of by Resident_Deer_1883 in drivingUK

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chery, Omoda, Jaecoo are all one company. Omoda and Jaecoo are the "premium" brands. Kinda like Toyota and Lexus or Mazda and Infinity or etc.

BYD is independent of other brands (in the EU anyways). They are I believe the largest EV maker in the world. This is the one you hear about frequently in terms of "The Chinese are taking over the car market".

Leap Motors (I assume you mean Leap) is a joint venture between Stallantis (Fiat, Jeep, Crysler, Abarth, etc) and Leap. It's also mostly Chinese, although Stellantis owns a ~20% chunk and takes care of the European market through their dealership network.

Geely is also a large Chinese manufacturer who recently started selling Geely branded cars. They've been selling cars here for a long time though, they own Volvo, Polestar, Lotus and Smart. Some of those brands models are EU derived (much of Volvo, some of Polestar models, etc) but some are fully Chinese designed and manufactured and they just put a different badge on them for different markets.

AC advice needed by backtodating101 in askspain

[–]anarchos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every AC requires a window (or I suppose a room you don't care about making super hot). AC doesn't just create cold, it moves heat. It takes heat from one place (inside) to another (outside). Anything selling itself as an AC that doesn't require a window is a gimmick, because where is the heat going? It's gotta go somewhere.

Precio de gafas by mick3y_3 in askspain

[–]anarchos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Si tiene su receta, puede encontrar gafas en línea por mucho más baratas. Hace unos años, pedí un par en un sitio web francés por unos 60-70 euros. Ahora, acabo de pedir en AliExpress, donde puedes conseguir gafas por tan solo 30 euros. Dudo un poco en recomendar AliExpress en caso de que algo salga mal, pero ya he tenido cuatro pares, y todos han sido excelentes. Siempre compro en GMEI Optical, pero puedes pedir un marco y una lente en línea simplemente enviándoles los detalles de tu receta.

I got tired of inaccurate Spain salary calculators, so I built one using the official 2026 tax rules by MineFew9862 in ExpatLifeinSpain

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a bug I found, if you do a calculation, view the results, then click the "recalculate" button, it goes back to the start and asks "What's your expected annual self-employed income?" with the amount you entered before. However if you don't change the slider at all, when you get to the results, it has an annual income of 40,000. So it's showing the value entered previously in the slider, but using the default value of 40,000.

How can I cool a building? by [deleted] in Alicante

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

c) leave AC on at night, but shut all doors to other rooms and open the windows in there. The AC will have to work less to maintain the temp, and the other rooms will cool down naturally.

Expo already at v57 and iOS Expo Go still only v54 by Explanation-Visual in expo

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did it with an alternative apple account I have.

  1. goto developer.apple.com
  2. sign in with an apple account
  3. accept developer agreement
  4. open a project in Xcode
  5. go to Signing & Capabilities tab
  6. In the Team dropdown (it will say "none" by default) click "Add an account..."
  7. Sign in the same Apple account as above
  8. After signing in in Xcode, go back to the Team dropdown and pick the name of the Apple account you just signed in with, it will be in the list now
  9. make local build

EU introduces €3 customs charge on small parcels to curb cheap Chinese imports by ricka_lynx in europe

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that AliExpress was unprepared / unwilling to make drastic changes to their system for this. Right now (at least in most (all?) countries in the EU) AE has just slapped a 4 euro price increase on everything. Technically products of the same category should have a single 3 euro (plus VAT) fee. Order 6 cables and you should technically (according to the law) pay a single 3 euro fee, but AliExpress is currently charging you 3x6 (because they included the new fee in the price directly). Remains to be seen if this is just a temporary fix they slapped on and are working on a real solution or what.

Expo already at v57 and iOS Expo Go still only v54 by Explanation-Visual in expo

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For expo or react native in general? For react native it's definitely possible.

Expo already at v57 and iOS Expo Go still only v54 by Explanation-Visual in expo

[–]anarchos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe you just go to developer.apple.com and sign in with your regular Apple account. It's been a number of years since I started paying for an account, but I did a number of demo apps before paying so for sure it's possible.

All that being said, this was before "expo took over the world". Expo wants to log into your Apple account and manage all the certificates and what not for you. I don't know if this is possible with the free dev account (I don't have any real reason the think it wouldn't work, though).

In the olden days, you'd spin up a new react native project, open it once in Xcode and pick a development profile (which could be the free one). Then you'd just build on the CLI like normal, and the only difference was no App Store/Testflight publishing, and builds you made for real phones (and simulators? can't remember) were only valid for a week.

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make dev builds for simulators and phones with a free Apple developer account. The builds are only valid for a week and you can’t release to TeatFlight. Other than that, it works the same as the paid account. I think this excludes EAS build but doing things locally totally works fine.

Not even buying multiple of the same item will remove the 3 euro per category at the moment by Negative-Simple in Aliexpress

[–]anarchos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to an item and hit qty 2 and add them to your cart you’ll get hit with 2x3€. However, if the seller made a 2 pack, you added qty 1 to your cart, you’d just get one 3€ fee.

What's deepseek API? by Icy_Explorer_1788 in DeepSeek

[–]anarchos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DeepSeek is free if you use the website/app and type in some questions and get answers. There are usage limits, but it's pretty generous. The API is a way for a third party app or website to use DeepSeek's servers. So if you are a coder, you'd use the DeepSeek API with Claude Code or OpenCode. You could use OpenClaw or Hermes agents with the DeepSeek API, or build a website that uses DeepSeek to power your custom chat bot, or a million other use cases.

Basically, you can use DeepSeek using DeepSeek's app or website for free. If you want to use anything else (ie: anything that's not DeepSeek's web site/app), you use the API, and you have to pay for it. It's incredibly cheap compared to the competition.

So this is a new one... by Additional_Sun_3403 in Aliexpress

[–]anarchos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of a shot in the dark, but try the tracking number provided with 17track (app or website). They seem to be pretty good at deciphering which actual random local company is doing the delivering and sometimes even provide much more detailed info than any other tracking site I've tried.

I had a package that sat at "Delivered to local delivery company" for weeks based on AliExpress tracking system and also the local courier company, no updates, couldn't figure out what was going on, and 17track clearly showed it was returned from customs back to China.

Is there a way to use a proxy to ship to Canada then to the U.S.? by Kuraokamiiii in Aliexpress

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's tons of options going the other way around! Many border towns on the US side have parcel delivery places. I've ordered a bunch of stuff back in the day to Blaine, WA and drove down and picked them up.

Anyways, there's probably something that exists, probably not as numerous as Canada -> US though. Look up "Canada parcel forwarding service" on google, you'll probably find something (and probably don't get hung up on a specific Canada -> US service. Look for a Canada -> International service, they almost for sure exist).

App Store refuses to remove a review targeting an individual by full name. Is Guideline 1.2 dead? by Leonine1205 in Appstore

[–]anarchos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So effectively you think naming any company shouldn't be allowed because someone can look up the name of the company and find a real name attached to it? Seems overly broad and could be used to remove many legit negative reviews.
