Apple M1 ARM based Mac as a developer: docker and brew will take a while to be working at all or supported

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/13

Important to consider as both a developer and end-user when switching architectures:

Is all my software working and supported on the new architecture.

For many Mac developers, at least docker and brew are important.

Bad news here:

  • Docker will likely take months before it runs, and then only support ARM images
  • Brew will likely take months to get supported.

Default Samsung TV network names are too long (:

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/02

On [WayBack] Default Samsung TV network names are too long (: – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+, [WayBack] Wolfgang Rupprecht – Google+ had a great comment:

Samsung needs to have some more experienced engineers in their TV group. The whole internet interaction is a mess. The thing that annoys me is that the TV’s claim their name is “localhost” when they ask for a DHCP address. They also have a half dozen undocumented ports open to the network and no way for the user to disable those mis-features.
