I found that I don't need a microscope to solder a surface-mount IC to a board.

It's easy for you, you got struck by the lightning and gained superpowers. We regular people need some special tools.

misko_2083

Except you'd likely need to unsolder the chip (at least if on a laptop), which no doubt nowadays has mega-multiple-pins and is surface mount soldered! But in theory you could no doubt re-flash it via some external flashing device assuming you could also thus side-load the clean code you wanted to r...

They are not sure how the malware is deployed. Perhaps through a second-hand reseller. It's interesting how these backdoors are discovered only after a decade or more. Then a new solution appears market with even more undiscovered holes. I'm not sure what's the status of that LinuxBoot that runs Lin...

How do you sing Grey? Of course I sing, how else in our time :) ?! In the bathroom mostly. If you can quietly approach at least 20 meters away, you will hear everything ;) ...

The same song about Hannah Montana Linux performed by a fan from Russia. The melody of the music from the series is recognizable, plus excellent Californian pronunciation, almost without an accent :) Probably the only way to perform such specific songs :D He forgot to apply the hot potato therapy. ...

If it's new then there is a button for that. Is the button not working? The board on the remote can get greasy/oily over long time of use. Opening the remote and cleaning the board and the pad may work. But don't use water. The other option is getting the universal remote controller that supports th...

Montenegro 3 days ago I read the news about a vacation in Montenegro :) My favorite comment under the article is "God save us!" (Boze,spasi nas!) :) You read yellow press. Kurir is the worst. There is always a click bait title in those. As you can see they made a photo session with a &quo...

One day the water will be more expensive than the gold.
It's no wonder why Elon Musk wants to buy our water.
I hear William (Bill) Gates is buying a lot of land in the US.
That means the food prices will skyrocket.
The greedy ones always know where to get the most money.

But for the power of imagination: You didn't think it was for the smoothness and beauty of my skin, did you :) ? This is for the moral and psychological effect of "Ah, sea salt!" No, I got inside your mind remotely and read your thoughts. :lol: Of course, a little salt in that volume of w...

Do you add ice? :D Ah the legacy of communism when everyone split the bill equally no matter how much in spent individually. Wait a minute, why would there be a separate meter for the hot water? No, just sea salt :) To match the chemical composition of 200 liters of sea water you'd need to add 7 kg...

A little bit about the film adaptations of fiction. I watched a new movie about a Predator. Prey . On the way to the store, I even participated in an impromptu discussion of the film on a bench :) The essence of the discussion: The first participant: you don't know anything about the life of Indian...

@MochiMoppel here's an old script from 2018 with yad for renaming with the thunar custom action. https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=49287#p49287
Is there a way to do that with ROX?

@bigpup @rockedge @misko_2083 Mmmm... I'm not rich, not at all. But I'm the only one among the neighbors who didn't put water meters on. Neither for hot water, nor for cold. Yes, I pay more than the others. But they even take a shower quickly and economically. I, on the contrary, cool down every da...

Water rights around there are a BIG deal. You can't collect rainwater on purpose...it's illegal. Someone else owns that water. Got a kiddie pool sitting out there in the rain? You're a felon if you use that water and don't dump it out on the ground.

What a tyranny in a land of the free.

misko_2083

Now though the electric company will install panels that one leases for almost free. You do not own these and the excess power generated goes back into the power grid that one gets a little bit of money for, but one still has a monthly invoice to pay to the electric company. "You will own noth...

Its not really a gov't problem, its big business... cheapest bang for the $ strategy. So fossil fuels have been in use for over 125 years. Yet there has always been wind and solar, that if captured would at least provide equal power requirements at the cost of construction and land area. Yes, the w...

Keep in mind that I was using an older version. I'm now in Slacko 8 with yad 0.42.43 (GTK+ 3.24.31) where the bug does not exist anymore. With yad --form --field="$TEXT":LBL --geometry 500x150 the label expands and does not wrap, regardless of font size (looks like in your first screensho...

If it does not wrap it could be a bug.
Wrapping in on by default.

It's trivial to add it to the LBL field in the form dialog. Trivial for whom? Keep in mind the window is expanded to fit the label so add --scroll option for very long labels.

Unfortunately yad lacks a --no-wrap option. It's trivial to add it to the LBL field in the form dialog.

I'm attempting to build Bubble sort in C and have gotten thus far, but it's not sorting correctly. Here, is the article I read from https://www.scaler.com/topics/c-bubble-sort/ . #include<stdio.h> int main() { int n, i, j, a[5], b, temp; printf("Enter the number of elements to be sorted\n"...

misko_2083

Never a dull moment with yad :roll: I thought that only --list would be suitable for my simple color stuff because --text would not obey dimension instructions. But there is --form . A field of type LBL combined with --scroll and - -geometry would work - sort of. Depending on font size LBL tends to...

To add to the points already made, this is yad's manual about clicks and keys for the list widget. --dclick-action=CMD Set the CMD as a double-click command. When user double-clicked on row, CMD will be launched with values of all columns as an arguments. By default double-click selects row and act...

misko_2083

For some reason it feels more comfortable to place the check button it in the middle. Let me guess why: You are used to have the checkbox toggled when you select anywhere in the row, but yad is a bit odd and doesn't work this way. Selecting a row doesn't do anything. It needs a double-click to togg...

@fredx181 Great :thumbup2: The new version is really fast. Makes it possible to render the 512 colors pastell pattern in reasonable time. I tried to make it even faster by skipping the printf subshell and making it POSIX compliant, so it will run in busybox ash: #!/bin/ash P='8 9 a b c d e f' for a...
