Macbook Air M1 issues
I recently got my mom a Macbook Air M1, upgrading from a 2010 Macbook Pro (High Sierra). When migrating over from High Sierra to Big Sur, using Migration Assistant (my Synology TimeMachine kept on failing — but besides that, migration went smoothly) two issues came up that required calling Apple. But first off I noticed…

Apple Watch OS7 stopped showing the date
I’ve been running the Apple WatchOS 7 beta for a while now, and when updating, my watch face lost the “date”: it was no longer showing the date and day of the week (i.e. Fri). Quite annoying — but it’s a beta after all. I shouldn’t complain. I did what every good beta tester would…

Making Bluetooth work on RPi4
I rarely use Bluetooth on my RPis. I’m already facing enough issues with my iMac and Mac Mini (it lags, it randomly disconnects in meetings, etc). My pwnagotchi on the other hand is counting on a BLE network to connect to the internet: for now I am using my iPad, and while that works, it…

Raspberry Pi 4 + SSD
All right. With the release of the new RPi4 with 8Gb of RAM I had to get myself one to see if it was already a viable desktop replacement for surfing and emails. While a SD card works fine for certain tasks (things that don’t require a lot of IO) — for a desktop that’s…

iPad Pro USB-C Ethernet
I’ve had an iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard and one of the things I’ve been wondering… Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server — sure I’ll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case… But would it actually work? The…

Synology “Operation Failed” manually updating package
Resilio Sync released an update last week and on Synology these package don’t auto update. Time to manually update the packages again. On my DS1515 (more RAM, more CPU) the manual update goes by fine (stop service, manual update, browse for file, upload, start service) but my DS216j, not so much. Attempting to upload the…
