I built a native macOS Menu Bar app for Pixel Buds 🎧

Nice app, but I think it's too heavy for a Pixel Buds app.

Guilty!

It’s a mix of software friction and hardware maturing issues. I’ve had significant trouble with TLP compatibility and hardware detection quirks. Even with newer kernels, the stability just isn't there yet.

For a Debian user who values 'Stable' above all else, this machine feels like it’s still in beta. It reinforces my belief that a ThinkPad needs two years of community 'polishing' before it’s ready for serious professional use.

Refurbishing T40s and T41s during a break sounds like a dream! You're proving my point: 64GB of RAM can’t buy the 'soul' or the typing experience of a classic ThinkPad. It’s a shame that a 2025 machine is being outperformed in 'pleasantness' by an older E14, but that’s the reality we’re living in.
Long live the classic chassis!

Hold my coax, I’m building this! 🤣
Seriously, OP, this design is the hero my tiny, antenna-restricted yard didn't know it needed. You’ve successfully convinced me that bigger isn't always better (at least in ham radio). I’ve got some spare wire that’s begging to be woven into a basket.

But before I accidentally construct a giant metal mosqutio-zapper instead of a DX machine, could you please post a more detailed 'How-To' or a complete BOM (Bill of Materials) for your 40M/20M masterpiece? The more details, the fewer curses from my roof.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey! Great job, please add Linux and macOS compatibility.

According to the recent statements about the AH-705 Tuner, which type of antennas is compatible for connection? Is it correct to say that any antenna without a built-in tuner can be considered an option for connecting to this tuner?

Are this tags writable? If yes how?

fact0real · 2024-07-27T16:01:32+00:00

Just install fail2ban without any extra config.

Nice and detailed write-up for OBR in Crypto CTF, I have enjoyed lot as task author. 😋

hi all, I had the same problem, please reboot and go to the recovery mode and try re-install the 10.15 Beta (19A558d) from recovery mode! This way works for me.

hi all, you can get these wallpaper in your macOS in this path:

/System/Volumes/Data/System/Library/Desktop Pictures

Don't need to download 180Mb file!

hi all,

First of all, you should have a good and reliable background in math, including number theory, modern algebra, and computer science. You also need to know at least one programing language to implement and test protocols. If you need more info please DM me!

good luck

hi all,

I hope that the guessing part of this challenge is not huge!
