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 a no-go... It's just too slow.
I still had an old Macbook Pro 13" (2o15?) SSD lying around that was collecting dust. Why not use that one to use as root for the RPi?
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 answer is... Yes -- but...
As I usually use my SIM card in my iPhone, I booted my PC, plugged in the Vodafone USB Mobile Connect modem (HAUWEI 220 or something). I then inserted, with the USB device plugged in, my SIM card, and booted up the Mac (and later on Windows) Vodafone application, to connect my PC to the Proximus 3G network.
This resulted in a constant error; “The pin code was not accepted by the mobile device”.
