So I gave my mom an iPad. But she doesn’t have a credit card. As having one is not usual for Dutch people, especially for elderly Dutch people. Why would you need one if you can pay anything you require online with your Bank Card?
Well: from an iPad, you cannot sign in to iTunes without first adding a credit card. There is no other way. No bank account (which is very common in Europe). No iTunes voucher. No nothing. This is what you have to do:
If you’ve already created your Apple ID, you’ll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won’t be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
I haven’t even checked iTunes for on her PC, as iTunes is so utterly user unfriendly (for instance you cannot drag-drop music to your iPad from a folder. You need iTunes and I’d need to explain here about all sorts of clouds other than where rain comes from) that I won’t even try to teach her how to use it.
What I finally did is add my own credit card (apparently they don’t do name or address checks), then remove it.
Windows 10 on ARM will supply a long-rumored feature: The ability to run 32-bit Win32/x86 desktop applications—Apple iTunes, Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome, whatever—directly on the system, unchanged.
I’ve been very busy with broken hardware and operating systems lately so today was the first chance to post about recent Version 1.8.1 History of Continua CI. During October and November the below builds got released.
For almost all of them, you will need to update your agents after installing the build.
Fix: “changeset.style” file was missing from installer causing error when getting new changesets for new Mercurial repositories.
Fix: Issue where Shared Resource Locks at the configuration level would be released before the end of the build, if Shared Resource Locks existed at the stage level and were released.
Fix: Build version is now truncated to fit into the maximum field length of 128 characters.
Update: Email publisher now supports wider range of secure sockets options. This also fixes an issue where you it would always try to use TLS if it was supported by the server.
Fix: Issue where enabling a configuration would cause all time triggers in other configurations to stop working.
Update: Any updates to loggers in the Continua CI Server service configuration file, such as enabling debug logging, are no longer reset when running the installer.
The underlying issue has to do with switches interpreting too much information of (un)encrypted traffic and dropping them because they wrongly think it’s plain ethernet traffic they need to handle.
MAC addresses starting with a 4 or 6 have have a common bit pattern (likekly that fails with 12 and 14 as well) that cause failure in certain network equipment that’s hard to trace as there is limited.
Quick look at commands that can be used to gather hardware information such as cpu, disks, memory, partition, peripherals etc on Linux OS based systems

Edit 20220215/20200713: The original wiring description in this article was wrong, thanks Jules Vape and John Cooper for pointing this out in the comments.
Since they work nice as car lamps, they are quite robust for weather conditions, so they work well as garden lamps too. So we have 69 of them in our deck.
