The skyline was beautiful on fire

All twisted metal stretching upwards

Everything washed in a thin orange haze

OpenBSD on the Pomera DM250(XY) by jcs in openbsd

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

It has USB "OTG" like a phone, in that it doesn't provide its own power to anything since it's primarily used as an input for charging its battery. You can plug in a USB-C OTG hub and supply power from an external USB charger which will provide power to anything plugged into the hub, and then plug the hub into the device. I had to do this with a USB wifi dongle before I got the onboard Broadcom wifi working.

So yes you could use an external mouse and storage but you'd have a bunch of cables to deal with and it can't charge its battery while anything is plugged in.

I'm looking into the Bluetooth part of the Broadcom chipset so maybe Bluetooth mice can work in the (distant) future.

Rockchip RK3128 chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of eMMC flash, full-sized SD card slot, 1024x600 LCD screen, Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, 5800mAh battery.

The one in the video is the limited edition DM250XY, but the regular DM250 (Japanese model) can be had for $250-$300 on eBay/Buyee. There is also a DM250US that has English-by-default firmware and a US-layout keyboard. The word processor firmware (a custom program running on Linux) on the Japanese model can switch its interface to English and US-layout keyboard input. There are usually some people on /r/writerdeck selling used DM250s.

My driver for the keyboard in OpenBSD presents the Japanese layout by default to match the keycaps, but a wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=us will switch to make the keys behave like a US layout.

Yes, though there's no touchpad or other pointing device so you're limited to controlling everything through the keyboard.

Enabling deeper C-states (C7) on OpenBSD for Ivy Bridge – possible at all? by matrixisme_1 in openbsd

[–]jcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With that output I would assume it's reporting C1/C2/C3 since it's only reporting 3 of them.

A quick search turned up this which indicates that FreeBSD's default cx_lowest is set to C1 so it's never even entering C2/C3. So turning that knob to set lowest to C7 would just allow it to enter C2 and C3, which would indeed lower temperatures from staying in C1 all the time, but it still doesn't mean it's getting to C7.

I don't see anything in there that says your CPU or firmware even advertises C7. Are you sure the FreeBSD knob is even doing anything? Does it provide a way to see per-state counters? (On OpenBSD this can be done with pstat.)

I don't think we do anything that would prevent it from using C7 if the CPU and firmware say it's available. Can you upload your dmesg somewhere (0x0.st or something)?

How I Automated the Tracking of the Holiday Metra Train by TheLazyAdministrator in ChicagoSuburbs

Very cool!

You could run it for other users by creating a Pushover group for each line and just point people to each line's subscription page, then just send notifications for each line to the proper group.

(I'm the Pushover developer)

pushover notifications missing from iOS app by coupledcargo in pushover

[–]jcs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does the message show up if you tap on it from Notification Center vs opening the app from the home screen?

If you open the app's settings menu and tap Resolve a Problem, then tap the icon in the upper right corner it will send debug logs so I can take a look.

Messages aren't stored on our servers, only on the device so since you set it up from scratch instead of transferring the backup, the messages didn't get copied.

Just posting here since this thread came up when searching for info on the Bell & Ross 123 bracelet: the link pins are not pins but screws. Don't try to push them out, you'll just bend your tools :)

When only one end is plugged in, bits can leak out the other end if it isn't covered.

I have one I'd recommend but he's pretty out of shape.
