Nereuxofficialon FindMy Flipper – AirTag and SmartTag Emulator

How do i use it without an Airtag? At the step number 9 the setup asks me to enter an Apple ID, which i do not have. Is there a way to track it on Android or Linux without an Apple ID?

Nereuxofficialon AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors are ready to deliver world class gaming

To answer the first question:

Yes and Intel has confirmed it. It should be fixed now but too high voltages can damage CPUs permanently so it probably means a lot of warrabty claims

See https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/intel-cpu-in...

The problem is unlikely to be around the corner for AMD since they do not have to supply as much voltage to their chips as as Intel to keep up since they are - at least when it comes to x86 chips - currently leading in performance and power efficiency

There are two apps from Fuji and i heard the newer one works better but the older one does not work for transferring pictures 70% of the time and unfortunately my camera is not supported in the new "Fujifilm X App"

Nereuxofficialon Speeding up C++ build times

Well that's not quite true. You can do a few things: 1. Reduce dependencies and features of dependencies 2. Use a faster linker like mold 3. Use a faster compiler backend like cranelift(if possible) 4. Use the parallel compiler frontend(again if using nightly is possible) 5. Use sccache to cache dependencies But i do get what you mean. Especially in CI the build times are often long

Oh that is awesome! I've used the cloud version previously but now that the desktop version is free with some small limitations i think I'll probably use it instead of Ghidra

Well while esp-idf is powerful and has awesome features it also provides attack surface. And for me an additional advantage that no C code is below and it's fun!

Nereuxofficialon Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions

Honestly the biggest issue with Linux desktop right now is that Xorg is still more compatible and widely used. I tried Wayland on multiple machines and always had trouble when using it on my Laptop with no way to switch between integrated and dedicated Graphics cards(on X i always used optimus-manager which works fine 99% of the time).

I can't wait to finally switch to Wayland when those issues are fixed.

I also thought that'd be a fun project. BTRFS seems to have the largest feature set although many features are experimental but maybe there would be a place for something smaller that scales well and maybe has some of the new features like deduplication

XPrivacy was incredibly cool. But on modern phones rooting and installing Xposed has either gotten massively more complicated or disabled ougright. GrapheneOS wasn't working with banking apps, Google broke rooting via Magisk multiple times on the Android Beta and at some point and i stopped bothering.

Maybe GrapheneOS or similar Projects could do this
