@JordiGH I'm convinced the #Wii's OS can't handle #NTFS...

You may be able to use a #FAT32-formatted #flashdrive or #SSD attached via #USB up to 32GB (on one partition) instead.

Your file sizes would be limited to 2GB still...

(1/3) 👀🚨⚠️❗
#ANDROID $users, do these before #charging in #public #ports :

1) #Disable #USB #debugging in #Developer #settings( it's off by #default, but if u have #enabled it previously, better turn it off)
Q: What if I already turned it on?
A: It's not much of a #problem if u didn't give 'Allow' #permission on asking for USB #debugging #permissions when u #connect to a #charging port(usually the permission won't #popup if it's just a charging port)

@lexd0g yeah...

I get the drift...

Personally, I just want a TUI and a physical keyboard...

If you know any good #USB (!) Wired (!!) Thumb (!!!) Keyboards, let me know!

@AlanyG21 @fuchsiii @foone in terms of Adaptors to "harvest" if you want to try the cheap USB route, I can recommend the (#4G only but cheap!) #ZTE #MF79U and #Alcatel #LinkKey.

Both basically work out of the box on #Linux and #FreeBSD as #USB-"#Ethernet" adaptors and are essentially portable routers w/o battery.

The MF79U also has WiFi Router Function (2,4 GHz bgn) so it's a practical option that costs <€50 and just works...

@AlanyG21 @fuchsiii @foone So nothing but budget, time and soldering or at least layouting skills prevent one from slapping an #RM500Q onto an adaptor and roll withit.

In fact, there are #M2 adaptors for #ExpressCard made by #ThinkMods that do this, and personally I'd just take something like an #LTE-#USB Stick and wire it up to the USB lines...

@AlanyG21 @fuchsiii @foone Eeyupp...

There are basically passive adapters since #ExpressCard is just #PCIe 1.1-2.0 + #USB 2.0 or a hot-plug capable, external variant of #MiniPCIe aka. #MiniCard.

And OFC there are adaptors for that...

@jwildeboer @fuchsiii so if you find some #wired #usb #keyboard in #thumb form factor that is still in production, let me know...
https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/110862460638722684

Cuz right now I feel forced to DIY one with some microswitches and a Teensy...

@thememesniper and I though soldered-down SSDs made up of proprietary Flash Chips that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME and thurn the device into a brick when it does because the #Apple #AEFI aka. #BridgeOS is also on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS!

So one can't even reuse the device woth a #Linux on a #USB Flashdrive like a Store&Stay - alike dongle that basically ends up flush and doesn't break off easily.

What's your go-to brand for #usb #cables?

#boost

In the house for testing: Nomad's new $110 130W, 3-port USB-C charger; sweet little $25 ChargeKey USB-C cable, with nice magnetic closing clasp; and $50 3m Kevlar USB-C cable, super beefy. They all have excellent build quality, but note that the charge cables only support slow USB 2.0 data speeds.
#USB-C #review #charger #cable

And yes I know all those wireless keyboards that exost and the fact that someone converts new old stock #BackBerry keypads to #USB - not to nention the various USB Tablet Cases..

But I do want something like the #Nokia #Communicator or #Motorola #Fliput in terms of #size and form.

Bonus points if it has an #UltraNav-Style #Trackmpoint!

#FediPower #BoostsWelcome :boost_ok: :boost_requested:
#Hardware #tinkering.

I'm looming for a thiny #Thumb #Keyboard (kinda lie a 60% or 40% board that is tiny) that connects via #USB (wired!) to any host device.

Kinda like the #Dreamgear #MiniKey or the #Xbox360 #ChatPad but it needs to be either FLOSH or at least be still made to this day AND work natively as Keyboard.

It can't be wireless!!!

A USB Audio to Bluetooth Adapter using a Raspberry Pi Pico W #RaspberryPiPico #USB #Audio https://blog.adafruit.com/?p=555247

@Matjoe @itsfoss I feel like #linuxaudio has made a lot of progress over the last couple of years. Not only in terms of #plugins available natively (see e.g. https://linuxdaw.org/) but in particular because of #pipewire. If you want to give it another try I'd be there to help (if I can). 🫣️🙂️ PD: I sold my arsenal on UA interface and accelerators and went on to an #rme #fireface #usb #classcompliant interface with an AD extension unit and never looked back. 🤓️

Ich hätte gerne eine #USB-C #Steckdosenleiste... ohne Stecker sondern nur mit 10 oder besser 20 USB-C Anschlüssen. Meinetwegen auch mit USB-A. Gibt's nicht. Es ist zum heulen alles muss man sich offenbar selbst bauen.

@fwaggle It can boot #32bit #Linix from #USB on #MBR-formatted #Flashdrives withoit #SecureBoot...

So basically you can just make your own custom multiboot stick with #Ventoy ( http://ventoy.net ) and drag&drop your ISOs into it.

@lethalbit Considering the speed and cost, that is somewhat expected.

Personally, I wished for a #RAMDISK that is accessible via #SATA, #USB, #SDIO and/or #PCIe:

Like the #iRAM, #CGRAMDISK & #HyperDrive5:
