The radios are the parts of your phone that communicate wirelessly. Most phones will only turn the cell radio off entirely during airplane mode, disabling mobile data does not typically turn that radio off.
Airplane mode should turn everything off (unless you re-enable things like WiFi, but that should still keep the cell radio off)
I assume this is coming at some point, tbh
I personally reckon they’re working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it’s an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I’ve tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it’s the VST support that lets me down. I’ve got hundreds of VSTs I’ve used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can’t switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I’ve worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I’ve got to begrudgingly keep windows around.
You would not want to do this for latency reasons
I wonder if Steam would remove it from people’s libraries in that instance or just the Storefront
Sound fonts are effectively sample banks, a lot of earlier soundcards are basically full synthesisers just without a control panel or keys.
There will be various elements of how the operators and effects work or any nonlinearity introduced by the circuits that will not necessarily be reflected in a sound font
Most aren’t no, but the thing with synth nerds is that if they want a specific sound, they’ll dive through a flaming hoop wearing a barbed wire straitjacket to make it happen.
There are 100% a few people people fucking around with old ISA cards for musical purposes
Musicians still use MIDI
The pixel 9 doesn’t do the blinding thing anymore, and it works pretty well. This is apparently an even better version of that.
Don’t disagree that on the back should be a thing too, the sensor on the back of the pixel 5 (IIRC?) was perfectly quick and had a few useful gestures you could use it for. I doubt it would increase the BOM much to just have both considering we’re talking at phones that cost a grand
I think it’s worth understanding that tinyconfig is the result of a lot of effort into finding how much you can strip back the kernel and have it still (kinda) work. It’s realistically as stripped back as you can get—you don’t even get access to storage devices by default.
I’m curious about where your requirements have come from, as if the kernel was literally just tty and ethernet, you basically wouldn’t be able to do anything with it.
Do you live somewhere without winter?
See you in 2033
Ah I believe those are powered by chips originally intended to be used in industrial control use cases.
Loads of old manufacturing machines & software out there that are built around a 386/486, and given intel hasn’t exactly been making those models in a good while, some companies stepped up to provide compatible replacements for those situations.
Someone on AliExpress had the idea of using them in a more pc-like product for retro gaming, and voila we have all these modern 386/486 clones
Just as the MiSTer has started putting (sorta) 486s back in people’s hands, although if the newly required instructions aren’t too complicated, I suppose someone could conceivably add them to the core.
I guess one unknown for me is how the capability detection of the kernel works and if it works on instruction detection or if it determines it via CPUID.
A big also is that I’ve not yet tried to run Linux on mine yet so I’m not even sure it’s possible with a modern kernel anyway. I think I remember seeing someone got an old version of redhat or Debian working
Isn’t this built into the Android OS already? I assume iOS has a similar feature
Proton for ARM is not (currently) a thing, if that’s a factor
Is it clever enough to not send STOP to engagement fishing spam? Like the ones that use the STOP message to add you to a list of people who actually read the thing and then you’re spammed a load more for months?
I think there’s an alpine build too if your system has low oxygen levels
(Sorry, you made me think of this article)
It shouldn’t be, no. But one of the big problems with phones currently is that the radio firmware is almost always a closed-source binary blob.
Airplane mode is probably better understood as the OS asking the radio nicely to not attempt to communicate with the outside world. The antenna is still there able to receive signals, and the radio technically doesn’t have to listen to the OS if it doesn’t want to.
It’s incredibly unlikely (researchers look for this kind of thing), so make sure your tin foil is on tight, but not impossible that a radio could store cell tower identifiers it has seen whilst on airplane mode and do something with them when it is allowed to communicate again. There’s also the possibility there’s some secret signal that can be sent to force a phone in airplane mode to respond.
Unless you’re up to some Edward Snowdon level stuff though, even if that last one exists, it’s probably not being used on you.
