@rutee07 Repair them, the analog component is cheap.

HWIDgen is a solution.

KDevelop.

Qt is a framework, Qt Creator is an IDE.
Installing them is definitely easier on Linux, on Windows I would build from source using vcpkg. -
I use LessPass.

Take it apart, most likely only the USB board is broken.

@sbiewald Indeed, as long as the ISP provides a random prefix everything's fine.
What about DHCP though? Are the addresses assigned by the ISP or by your router? -
@sbiewald The problem is that the IP address is not totally random, a part of it is always the same if the /64 network doesn't change.
-
IPv6 puts your privacy at serious risk.
I'm not an expert, as I never had to deal with IPv6, but from what I've read the ISP allocates a static /64 network for each user.
The fact that it is static is a huge issue, because it means that a part of the device's IP address never changes.
Also, the ISP can know how many devices you are using and potentially identify them, because they send a DHCP request exposing their MAC address. -

@Parzi That should be illegal, they are basically preventing you from fixing your phone.

@WildOrangutan You can remove it by pulling with all the strength you have, using something as a lever to lift up the battery.
The glue under the battery is definitely one of the worst issues of "modern" smartphones, they can't even use the "waterproofing" excuse for that.
It's hilarious to see people on YouTube uploading disassembly videos in which they remove everything from the phone body excluding the battery. -
@n3xus No problem.
MSYS2 provides packages for both 32 bit and 64 bit (x86).
vcpkg builds everything from source, meaning that it should work on any architectures. -
@n3xus Why do you think they are 32 bit only?
-
If you want to do C++ development on Windows, I strongly recommend to use either vcpkg or MSYS2.

@sunfishcc Why do you prefer Intel for work?
@scarface78987 If you stick to that logic you will never get the chance to try something which may be infinitely better. -
@sunfishcc There are serious problems with Intel. I specified "and motherboard" because it has to be changed if he wants to switch to an AMD CPU.
-
@sunfishcc Along with CPU and motherboard.
-
Why did you choose Intel?
-
Try Snappy Driver Installer.

Glasses make you see objects smaller even if the lenses are correct.
I recently switched to contact lenses and I'm so happy with them that I don't want to wear glasses ever again. -
@FrodoSwaggins Of course, unless they want to spy on themselves.
I knew that there was a way to disable it, what I meant is that according to Intel "users can't disable it". And, as expected, they denied any involvement by the government.
The whole situation is ridiculous, especially when the USA's government act hypocrite against Huawei.
Not that Huawei can be trusted, we all know (I hope) that the privacy in China and Chinese products can be considered non-existent. However, USA is the last country in the world who has the right to complain about that, given that most anti-privacy companies (Google, Microsoft, etc.) are located there. -
@FrodoSwaggins Yes, AMD's Platform Security Processor has been introduced with Zen.
Intel's Management Engine is definitely worse, especially because it cannot be disabled. -
"AMD I go back and forth on. I do have a single vishera box, but it’s the same problem. I don’t really know if it’s nefarious. The company has also been in and out of financial turmoil since 2006, and times like that are when deals with the devil get signed. Even though things look good now. I tend to trust them more than intel, but then they also have backed out of a lot of their open source promises which strikes me as odd."
Vishera was definitely better than the previous generation (which had Bulldozer cores), but Intel's Sandy Bridge still beat it in almost every workload, because of the much higher IPC.
Fortunately those times are long gone and now we can appreciate a new AMD.
Regarding their open-source promises: one of the most important ones is regarding PSP, AMD's "counterpart" of Intel Management Engine (one of the worst things that could be present on a modern computer).

@FrodoSwaggins "what constitutes something serious? I’m using the powermacs because they don’t have intel chips. Intel is an automatic non-starter for me, I’m very against using their products."
What about AMD? There's almost no point in buying Intel anymore since AMD's epic (or EPIC) comeback.
"IMO the setup I have on the Mac kicks ass and it’s still very hard to find a single socket machine that has better multi core performance than that thing. Plus-128gb of ram. It’s insane."
What CPU does it have?
"So while “nobody outside of Apple can prove” that their chips are not nefarious, that problem won’t even calm down a second with risc v."
That could be solved by checking whether the chip is genuine software-side.
The problem would be with the other chips on the phone's board, such as the modem.
And, talking about modems, the situation is catastrophic right now, because they are all proprietary. -
@FrodoSwaggins "I have 100k invested in my pro tools rig. It isn’t going anywhere."
100k of pro stuff not compatible with Linux?
"I should also mention most of my boxes are openbsd, it’s not like ima Mac everything guy ;)"
I understand, but it would be great if you replace those Mac machines with something serious ;)
