No luck getting the webcam on my brand new Dell to work with MX Linux AHS.
Looks like support for "ipu6" still isn’t quite there yet. :(

It's potentially relevant that, in an attempt to make sure I'm running as little closed-source code as possible, I've either disabled or denied lots of permissions to many of the vendor-installed apps on the phone. #Android #troubleshooting #permissions
I'm having terrible difficulty getting a variety of apps on my Android phone to play custom notification sounds from wav or mp3 files. I can choose the relevant files as notifications sounds in the apps' internal settings menus, but I get either silence or the default notification sound when there's a notification. The files play successfully in my music player app. Anyone have any advice, please?

I updated to the latest version of “Ice Cubes”, the Mastodon client. Now I’m not getting notified of posts in my notifications section. I went a day without a single notification, and thought it was really strange. I went into the app, and found long conversations that I had completely missed out on. Time for some troubleshooting to determine whether my install is corrupted, or if the new version has a bug, or if there is a problem on my OS.
Tip of the day: Quality assurance is a top priority in the development of our applications. Nevertheless, misbehavior can sometimes occur, leading to an application crashing or stalling. To investigate and fix the issue, we need a report with some information about it. Here’s how you can support us with that. #devonagent #devonthink #macos #pkm #productivity #research #tipoftheday #troubleshooting #websearch https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230131-stalls-and-crashes
Tip of the day: Sometimes things don’t run like clockwork and you need assistance with a problem. To identify the exact cause of an issue, it can be useful for us to take a look at certain logs.

My Garmin watch did not sync activities with the Garmin Connect iOS app upon returning home from a week of travels. It did sync my steps from the day I landed, my sleep that night, and steps the following day. It just failed to pick up my running, hiking, and other activities logged when I was abroad.
After a little searching and filtering out obvious tips (make sure Bluetooth is on and paired), I found the key steps and fixed it.
How to get the Garmin Connect iOS app to sync Garmin watch activities that are seemingly being ignored:
1. unpair watch from phone (iOS Settings > Bluetooth > (i) next to watchname > "Forget This Device")
2. hard restart watch (e.g. hold down backlight button on a fenix 7S Pro to turn it off)
3. restart Garmin Connect app (force quit and re-open)
4. re-pair watch to phone
5. wait a while for all the activities to sync
It seemed to sync hikes and walks first, then runs, roughly in reverse chronological order.
The syncing spinner indicator in Garmin Connect took a while and prematurely completed the progress circle ○, and kept “spinning” the arrows inside the circle for many minutes.
Note: having some idea how software is written and handles queues etc., I highly recommend fixing any syncing problems like this before recording another activity in your watch. There is a chance that the software bug(s) that caused the syncing problem in the first place may inadvertently only pick up the latest activity and make it even harder to recover or sync the previously unsynced activities.
I had no luck with web searching, e.g. for
* why is Garmin ios app not syncing recent activities from my Garmin watch
and similar queries.
All “AI Overview” results were useless.
Only after going to https://support.garmin.com/ and entering my watch model name and number did I somehow find this article:
* Garmin Connect App: Device Is Paired but Not Connecting to App: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=9BcXLSQ4A22gasLarkUvH6
Which while not the exact problem I was having (my watch did connect, and sync two days of steps and one night of sleep), it felt close enough to be worth reading.
Steps 3 and 4 in the article gave the key steps to try (though I split step 4 into two parts, and in the middle only restarted my watch, there was no reason to restart my phone)
That article linked to another article on "How Do I Restart My Garmin Device?" which I also found useful: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=A6gOR1U2zDAFqmJVdap6k6
Hopefully by blogging this, the next person that has a similar problem (my guess is the Garmin Connect Android app works similarly) can more quickly find this solution and key steps by searching the open web.

One of the USB ports on my Ryzen 7040 Framework Laptop 13 stopped working some time ago, after a firmware update I think. Rebooting didn't help, leaving it powered off for some time didn't either. Even another firmware update didn't fix it.
But a mainboard reset as described in https://community.frame.work/t/diy-fw-13-amd-7640u-port-1-not-working/42069/7 did.
1. Disconnect charger.
2. Remove input cover (can stay attached).
3. Reconnect charger.
4. Hold chassis switch down for 2 seconds, 10 times.
5. Reassemble.

sysadmin help wanted for my Raspberry Pi:
I've been having a random name process eating all my CPU lately. Kill it via htop but it pops up again in a day or two, each time with a different name.
Any ideas on how I would begin troubleshooting this?
weird #macOS bug:
Has anyone had the issue where System Settings app runs (as in there's a dot under it in the dock) but no window shows?
If so, how did you fix it?
Tip of the day: For some sync-related errors or when needing to modify an encryption key in #DEVONthink or #DEVONthinkToGo, cleaning the sync data may be required. Here we show you, how to properly do this. #pkm #productivity #sync #tipoftheday #troubleshooting https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20241008-clean-sync-location
If you use Apple Quicklook in the Finder to review your RAW files (pressing space bar) don't upgrade to macOS 15.4! It has broke for me. Seeing other reports online as well. Just get a black window unless you resize it and then the image appears
