awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

6·2 years agoMy only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn’t a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

Apple@lemmy.world•Apple now sells the AirPods Pro USB-C case by itself — for $99English
2·2 years agoInterestingly, if you have a big AirPods case (like I do) then the iPhone MagSafe will charge it just fine!

I refuse to listen to it via the OST. Full online-enabled playthrough only, for silly little reasons.

No, don’t ask to ask a question.

World News@lemmy.world•Apple informs journalists Russia is targeting them with Pegasus spywareEnglish
2·3 years agoLockdown mode was released as a countermeasure specifically against Pegasus the first time it made the rounds as it disables many ways that are commonly exploited as the initial vector point - mainly attachments, links and previews in texts, as well as certain complex web browsing technologies.
I’ve had Lockdown mode on since it’s been released. I miss having 2FA code autofilled from text messages, and there’s the occasional website that’ll need to be whitelisted as it may display an emoji instead of a custom font… but aside from that, it’s barely an inconvenience.
Your telco is always going to be a weak point in a scenario like this, but better that than your phone because a hostile actor sent you a text message that embedded silent persistent spyware.
Oh no, I’m talking outright wrecked — you can see damaged pins upon observation.
(To be clear to the downvoters, I see this in my job where I repair consumer tech. I’ve clarified in my original post since some people seem to think I’m arguing exclusively in favour of lightning, or maybe think I’ve seen this on my own devices?)
I clean out densely compacted pocket lint frequently out of customer devices. One needle nose tweezer end for extracting the bulk, then isopropyl on a thin lint free cloth pushed in with a small piece of plastic to determine what’s left inside that isn’t easily visible. Typically makes the port look as good as new.
The amount of USB type ports I’ve seen where the ‘tongue’ has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.
For example, I’m repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.

AssholeDesign@lemmy.world•Paid for MS Excel out of the goodness of my heart so now I get this popup every 2 hours...English
1·3 years agoGiven that OP posted a Mac screenshot, Pages and Numbers would likely work just as well for the files themselves.
The article does it right:
test@test.comand other similar things (e.g:a@a.com) will throw an error the first time you put in a password and it’ll proceed to create an offline account.The people that go through the steps like commands and disabling internet are making too much work for themselves.

More or less, anyway.
Turns out the answer to 30 to 50 feral hogs was to make love, not war.
I just rolled back and confirmed that 1.0.14 had this issue for me too, as I don’t think any build has had comments work for me.

4·3 years agoIf my 13 Pro Max is anything to go off, I get to roughly 30-40% after two days of regular use (including light/medium doomscrolling, but no games) for the last two years.
I’ve been able to get up to five days with light use and low battery mode.
