Hopefully it will.

Btw, if you’d like, you can downgrade your M1 mini back to sequoia using DFU mode. Keep in mind that you’ll need to wipe it out entirely, so you might want to do a backup first.

Yeah, definitely sketchy, I’m glad I asked here.

Yeah, I asked for more details and got more information about it, I still need more info.

I’ll probably decline since performing interviews doesn’t sound like something I’d like to do as a first job

I’m not really sure what I should look for. There a bunch of base64 looking strings that cannot be decoded to text and some IP (both v4 and v6)

Hey guys, I’d like your input on this.

I’ve just received this email for a collaboration proposal, which I don’t think looks sketchy at all.

For a bit more of context, I’m a CS college student about to graduate, and I decided to build a portfolio with academic projects and a small CV which I hosted in GitHub pages.

I’d normally not answer because they send me emails to my non visible email, but this one is on my public email (and wasn’t flagged as spam, could be that both are gmail?).

I googled their email and found what a think it’s their GitHub profile, name and location check out, however they don’t have any repository nor commits.

What should I do? Is this an scam?

Edit: I asked for clarification at the risk of being targeted for spam, and I received a reply within 5 minutes. It’s basically a job to do interviews and meetings. There are a few things that I didn’t find clear, like, who will I be representing during meeting/interviews among other things.

Anyways, I’ll probably decline since it’ll too much for me as a first part time job.

Thank y’all who replied

Ok, I’ll take the bait.

This is not longer about whether they’re capable of not, they’re just a mere tool, it’s about supporting an unsustainable industry that’s destroying the environment, economy, society and already working technologies for… well, nothing, it’s not even profitable yet, they’re slowly getting into the find out stage.

Not to say that, even if they are capable of “keeping documentation up to date”, they’re unable to do software engineering, most software projects fail because bad design decisions. And btw, documentation is not limited to code comments, API endpoints or whatever a JavaDoc is in your target programming language (methods and attributes comments, if OO, on how they work / what they do / how to use them).

Professional grade documentation goes beyond that, begins with the problem you’re trying to solve and goes all the way to the end of life of your system. Yes, it’s hard to maintain it up to date and will slowly become outdated, but it’s bound to happen, it’s almost as if you wanted to have 100% of testing coverage, it’s economically impossible.

It’s almost as if you neglect young people’s needs, you get fewer. Who could’ve known.

Hi, I’d like to ask for some advice about my iPad.

I have an iPad mini 5 that I bought in mid-2020. It still holds charge for about three days with my usual usage (doomscrolling, playing music, reading, etc.), though I used to get about five days on a single charge back in 2020.

I connected it to my Mac and checked the battery health with Coconut Battery; it reports 83% health with 614 cycles.

I started checking my options but I’m not really sure if it’s worth it:

  1. Apple won’t give me a price for the replacement (I suspect they might not have parts; the page lists 118 USD).
  2. 3rd Party says that battery repair is about 200 USD, which I find excessive for an iPad this old.
  3. iFixit: Pricing for parts is about 53 USD, but shipping is 89 USD, and it doesn’t include everything I need due to shipping restrictions.
  4. Getting iFixit tools and the battery through Amazon is about 70 USD, which I find acceptable, except the battery doesn’t have reviews at all (capacity 5173mAh seems about right).

What should I do? Keep using it as is? Try to replace the battery myself with Amazon stuff? Has anyone had experience with DIY battery replacements (I don’t mind much warning messages)?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

 

Found this old DVD driver in the garage that looks like it was from a laptop. I’d like to use it, but I don’t know what port is that.

I thought it was SATA, but it’s a little bit more taller and narrow, maybe an old revision? Or is it HP proprietary?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello there!

I’ve made those with Apple Keynote, so I felt like sharing them here. If you’d like me to export in another resolution, please feel free to ask :)
