📝✨ A brave soul traded their shiny #Apple for a Lenovo #Chromebook and lived #to blog about it. Apparently, the world is dying to know how they survived the switch from overpriced fruit to bargain bin tech 🍏➡️💻. Spoiler: It's less epic quest, more "I got tired of paying for #dongles." 🎉

🍏🤖 "If #Apple built a #factory, it wouldn't use a PLC?" Oh please, like Apple could build anything without a proprietary dongle and a $999 polishing cloth. 🧼📱 Let's just hope the machines don't start accidentally FaceTiming each other. 📞🙄

#FreieSoftware in der #Schule:

#HDMI- #Dongles und eine drahtlose Übertragung

Etwas am anderen Ende des Raumes anzeigen und sich dennoch frei bewegen können, das versprechen #HDMI_Dongles. Im Folgenden werde ich mich mit den mir zur Verfügung stehenden auseinandersetzen.

Dabei gibt es welche mit vielen Fähigkeiten wie die #ChromeCast-Reihe, den #Microsoft #Wireless #Adapter, #EZCast-Geräte oder auch ganz einfache wie das #Z100PLUS - für wenig bis viel Geld.

📽️🍏 Oh, #Apple, you delightful 🍏🍎 seller of #dongles and dreams! Your dramatic blunder with Severance's #editing promo is the perfect plot twist for the industry's most predictable #sitcom 🎬😂. Remember, when it's too remote, desktop editors might just sever the connection!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Several years ago I broke my most important rule. Never take a laptop with you that you are not willing to carry at all times. I had a Mac Book Pro stolen and this was extremely frustrating. The reason for which it was frustrating is that this Mac Book from still had normal USB ports, an SD card reader and more. New Mac Book Pros have four USB-3/Thunderbolt 3 connectors.

Thunderbolt 3 Nuissance

Some people love this, because it’s smaller, lighter, and faster but I hated the move because it meant that all my hard drives needed a dongle to work. All my charging cables for watches, cameras and more needed a dongle to work. You need a dongle for a wired connection and you simply always need a dongle. What’s worse is that you don’t need one dongle. You need two or three, or more.

Easier to Lose

You need to keep track of the dongles. Sometimes they’re in one room, or drawer, and if you use them every few days or weeks they like to vanish so that instead of just plugging in a device you need to find the dongle, plug the USB cable to the dongle and the dongle to the laptop.

Fast Drives but Slow Dongles

Yesterday I plugged in a USB C drive to one port, and a USB C flat adaptor drive to the apple dongle with the other. The transfer speed was much faster but I didn’t test whether the difference was due to the dongle I was using, the Apple dedicated USB dongle or the other third party option for most drives.

I should do a read/write speed test with both dongles to see if there is a difference between dongles, or I’m using slow, old drives. As I write this I’m transferring 900 gigabytes from one drive to another and it will take “about 4 hours”.

Bring Pi

Linux reads Mac OS Journaled and APFS drives when configured. Instead of blocking a mac in time and space ato run for hours it makes sense for a Pi to do this chore. A Pi is not fast. It doesn’t matter if you’re moving files from an APFS volume to an ExFat or Ext4 drive.

Legacy Devices

Over the years I have had USB A, B and C devices with various adapters. I have also had Firewire 400 and 800 drives, as well as Thunderbolt 2. The firewire drives and Thunderbolt two drives become unusable due to the move away from one standard to another. Luckily drives often come with two or three standards, and the aim should be to migrate from old drives to new drives every few years. Old drives can be backups, and new drives can be the working, drives, until they are retired to backup status in turn.

 And Finally

In the good old days I would plug my drives straight into the computer and move data between drives. Now that I need to go from drive, to USB-C cable to dongle, to computer, between two or more drives I find that transfer speeds are very slow and I suspect that it’s the third party USB-C dongle that is slowing things down. Tomorrow I can recover my second dongle and test to see whether my suspicion is correct or not.

Bought a RPi 4 and realized it needs a Micro HDMI adapter.

Bought the adapter

Configured the RPi

6 months pass

Bought a RPi 4 and realized it needs a Micro HDMI adapter.

Look for adapter that has vanished into thin air.

Bought the adapter (again)

I'm waiting for the old one to show up.

Dear Friends of voice recognition, ​:gi:​

Just did a #podcast, then uploaded and posted the #transcript created by the host to a #Buddhist forum I am on
https://newbuddhist.com/discussion/27297/lobsters-latest-website-microblog#latest

Voice recognition is a rule based #analysis. Nothing but noise and umming and ahhing removal and checking a data set of as many sound samples as possible.

So now security people have #voice #recognition, #face recognition, #fingerprint, #captcha, #passwords, #hardware #dongles and yet ...

Still can't get into my #gmail account, #icloud data, join a #forum or stop from #screaming at the bots creeping out the #netiverse ... ​:ablobcatcoffee:​

You know you're an #Apple user when this is the collection of dongles you use. #FirstNerdProblems #NerdLive #AppleLife #Dongles

@vwbusguy now you get 2 usb-c ports and you'll like it!

#dongles

There is one #caveat. You need to have a #monitor on your remote device. Otherwise drivers only allow basic resolutions. There are #dongles, but they often also only report default screen resolutions.

A cacophony of #dongles. Prepping my travel router for all the trips this summer.
