If you have a USB OTG dongle, try plugging in a USB mouse and/or keyboard and accepting the ADB keys / enabling USB debugging that way. I have successfully recovered damaged phones for family members that way.

It's hard to blame the average passerby for harboring contempt for TikTok. I joined at one point and the content they show "brand new" accounts trends extreme. I assume they do it to find the edges of the new users' comf

GitLab CI is definitely competitive with GitHub Actions. What's the specific feature set you're missing? "Polish" is pretty vague, especially in the context of a post that laments GitHub Actions' poor uptime record.

It's probably a good idea because some GitHub browser extensions will automatically hide forks from search results, under the assumption that basically all "forked" projects are drive-by patchjobs. I'm not sure this is s

Got a Quest2 last July, right around time that Google was killing their Icosa-type-thing. OpenBrush was imo one of the best apps for it and I wanted to start playing around with the code, but had some friction even getting a build started a

> The problem is that those are two highly correlated data points. Toxic bosses are eventually found but at that point they leave a track of dead bodies. Agree, and this is often overlooked. There's a handful of people I used to adm

Ethereum's history clearly demonstrates the folly of "code as law". How many hard forks have they had by now?

It sounds distasteful only because the vast majority of bosses out there aren't worthy of the mantle. An individual's relationship with their immediate boss is one of those intimate things in life and it deserves sanctity. Help yo

Kodi is awesome, but every time I try to use it on a set-top box-type thing, it promptly consumes the entire available storage. I'm going to have to concoct some type of just-in-time mini-library so that these things don't get ove

You have to put it in a library that's classified as "Other", and then it will show all video files it's capable of playing as regular media without necessarily requiring you to descend into the folder hierarchy view. I

Jellyfin doesn't run on FreeBSD because .NET doesn't run on FreeBSD. This is sad.

Utah is great, but don't come here. We want CA problems to stay in CA.

Yeah, git is really not a mature or well-designed VCS. The fact that you can trivially lose the supposed permanent reference -- and that it's encouraged as part of several common workflows at that -- should be more than enough to demon

Yeah, I started working at a place where 90%+ of the production codebase is actively-maintained Perl, and it honestly feels great. These guys might have a hard time fitting a recruiter's definition for a "rock star" but they&

Firefox's tools are still competitive with Chrome and there are even a few things I miss about them when debugging in Brave. It gives a little joy to know that Mozilla is still competitive in something, but not holding my breath for it

Gecko is already effectively lost -- the groups doing cutting-edge work were cut back in August. We're just watching the implosion. I switched from Firefox to Brave in October and suggest others do the same. Personally, I believe Brave

The layoffs last summer tell us all we need to know about the direction Mozilla's headed. I think they're toast. Brave and -- dare I say it? -- even Edge have brighter prospects.

This is where independent resellers via Shopify, their own cart system, etc. have a chance. There's no way to be sure you're getting a real battery from Amazon so I always buy this type of thing from a community-trusted independen

Scraping an unwilling system is already essentially illegal, there's a long case history on this. It's only recently starting to change (via pure judicial activism) in HiQ v. LinkedIn. As written, the CFAA allows anyone to make a
