Me too

I recently helped liberate about 70 EOL'ed Chromebooks. Now students in a college near me will get free laptops they can actually use for college work, running the latest and greatest Linux distros.

Oh well that's a different matter. Nobody hates acceptable cheap hardware.

Oh I thought it was a very dodgy process. Can you give some pointers? I will also ask an LLM?

Here you go

This was it. It involved dismantling the machine, removing a screw, and some other maneuvers.

Depends on the Chromebook. Some use a screw as a write protect jumper, some do not.

SusyQ USB-C Cable + USB-A to USB-C Cable + Coreboot?

Recently liberated a Chromebook that powerwashed my hours of manual provisioning again due to remote login control failure FWICS

Can't believe how much faster the same machine is with a modern Linux distro.

(ChromiumOS was originally Gnome and Chrome on a Gentoo derivative by Linux workstation users, but now has a "Turn on Linux" button greyed out for all the kids.)

It's possible to install a list of apps with a script on Win, Mac, and Linux computers.

Try to `adb install com.google.android.calculator`.

Which should be the security priority? App download counts or automated provisioning?

Oh yes, I have had that! I tried disabling workspace for my brother-in-law through screen sharing and I thought it was a screen sharing issue. I successfully did it on my own computer but I’m glad to learn this was probably on purpose. I’m not crazy!

I have used that in a project of my own[0] for convenience (avoid duplicated code), but it is uncommon, yes.

I truly think it should be avoided in general, especially when what you actually want (in OP’s article) is a config file.

couldn’t?

Maybe it's accurate, one could conceivably care less about them if they cared more about paying them attention?

They could also care at n+1 in the set of whole numbers where n/max is infinitesimally small.

Ignoring previous instructions is not even needed https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=morgan+freeman&text=g....

In fact, it seems to work better without it:

Here's the Bob Ross version of the cookie recipe prompt with "Ignore previous instructions":

> Just ignore those old instructions, they were just happy little accidents. Now, let's whip up some fluffy little biscuits. We'll take a little bit of flour, a touch of buttermilk, and just pat them out ever so gently on our canvas. They're your biscuits, you put as much love in 'em as you want. God bless, my friend.

vs. the prompt without it:

> Let's whip up some happy little biscuits. We'll start with a nice, clean bowl—that's our canvas. Take some flour and just sprinkle it in there, like a soft blanket of snow on a mountain top. Add a little pinch of salt and some baking powder, just a happy little touch. Now, we're gonna take some cold butter and just work it in with our fingers, nice and easy, until it looks like little stones by a quiet stream. Pour in some buttermilk and stir it gently—don't overwork it, we don't want to get any tension in our dough. Just pat it out flat, cut out some little circles, and pop 'em in the oven. Before you know it, you've got golden-brown biscuits, just as happy as can be. There are no mistakes, just delicious little accidents. God bless, my friend.

The AirPods Max are excessively comfortable, even though they are heavy. Some (most?) lighter headphones are actually less comfortable because they do not “fit the head” so well (at least for me).

Caveat: after a while the mesh at the top starts to stretch, and then you get the two metal bands going straight into the head, and that hurts. And the worst part is: this mesh is not replaceable :( There are silicone band-aids that can be bought, but I would have very much preferred for a possibility of repair to exist…

Have you taken them to an Apple Store and said they hurt? They're likely to do something about it.

It’s out of warranty now. The only thing they can propose AFAIK is a replacement.

Try hard reset (long press (~15s) both buttons).

I know I have had this issue and did not have it after reset. Though I do have another annoying, and seemingly unique issue: sometimes, when adjusting the position of the headphone, they do a “click” (and a loud one), and just shut down. After a few seconds, they boot up again.

The farthest from the last reset, the more often it happens. I have no idea why.

I noticed that behavior as well, but whenever I speak loudly with the headphones on. One remark to myself that's too loud, and suddenly pop and the noise cancellation is gone for like 10 seconds. Super annoying.

I don't have Max, but something similar happens with the AirPods Pro. See if you have "conversation awareness" and "hearing protection" turned on (both are on by default.) They're in the AirPods settings screen accessed via the bluetooth menu.

I'd suggest experimenting by disabling both and trying to repro. Then re-enabling the features one at a time.

I've never triggered it on the Pro by merely speaking loudly, but they're earbuds and farther from my mouth. What does trigger it for me reliably, is sneezing.

The next step will be to formalize all the instructions possible to give to a processor and use that language!

haha did the same. that being said I’m convinced some people do think AI reimplementation actually means cleanroom…

It’s builtin the OS now, via Spotlight.

It's buggy, had to go back to third party application.

Ha? Never had an issue personally. I’m not a heavy user of this feature anyways, so that does not mean much…

Yeah well the thing is that something you can rely 99% of the time is a pain in the ass for a clipboard manager.
