Contrast:
When making the contrast of the text lower and lower…designers need to think of
- elderly
- users with bad vision
- low quality monitors
- bad lighting and glare
- reading on tiny screens

Quotes from [WayBack] Ever wanted to download adb or fastboot without having to download the whole of Android Studio?…but didn’t want to download executables from some… – Elliott Hughes – Google+
Article:
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
These links will always return the adb/fastboot binaries currently shipping with Android Studio. No need to guess what the current version is, or update your own links: just follow these and get the latest binaries, direct from the source.
Comments:
A package manager is overkill. `wget -O adb.zip https://dl.google.com – dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip && unzip -d ~/bin/ adb.zip && export PATH=”$PATH;~/bin/platform tools”` should let you call `adb devices` and you can add the export to your .bashrc if you want it always available without changing into ~/bin/platform tools.
+Elliott Hughes Any chance we can get something to tell us when it is updated? I know you probably don’t care about bandwitdh, but would be nice to know when updates are pushed.
+dragon788 dragon_788 Or, you can install adb & fastboot from the repo’s then run this script every once in awhile to stay up to date:
#!/bin/bash
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
unzip \platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
sudo cp platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/adb
sudo cp platform-tools/fastboot /usr/bin/fastboot

A few weeks ago in When you get “TfsScript.Execute” throwing a “Unregistered version of FastScript.” I wrote about “a process that explains any modules in the MAP file not resulting in DCU files”.
The below batch file aids in that process.
It takes a MAP file from your Delphi compiled executable that has debug information in text format which means you need to set your project linker options to generate detailed MAP files.
The Map Debug File (*.map) – RAD Studio documentation hasn’t much information but points to Detailed-Segments Map File – RAD Studio which has a bit more. Neither contain information on Delphi units as they focus too much on the C++ side of things. Then there is a tiny bit information in Understanding Delphi MAP File – Stack Overflow.
So I did some spelunking and came up with this batch-file which will likely work back until about the Delphi 7 era:

Getting the local IP (actually IPs, but most hosts only have a single IP):
# OS X:
alias whatismylocalip='ifconfig | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
# Linux:
alias whatismylocalip='ip a | sed -En '\''s/127.0.0.1//;s/.*inet (addr:)?(([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*).*/\2/p'\'''
I got them via bash – How to I get the primary IP address of the local machine on Linux and OS X? – Stack Overflow
Mac OS X and BSD have ifconfig, but most Linux distributions don’t use ifconfig any more in favour of iproute2, so you use ip a (which is shorthand for ip address show) there.
Their output is similar enough for the sed to work, though. Which surprised be because I didn’t know about the -E option (it lacks in the manual Linux page but it is in the Mac OS X one) which enables POSIX extended regular expressions. In Linux this is documented as -r, but -E also works.
I learned this through the Sed – An Introduction and Tutorial which compares the various versions of sed which also explains about the -n doing no printing.

If anyone ever wants to have a batch of LTE dumb phones built:
+Jeroen Wiert Pluimers I’m not aware of simple-voice-only phones with LTE modem. From my former life at a telephone producer i remember costs to get a platform running and the effort spend on special editions, i’d say if you are willing to buy 50000 we could find someone producing this for you. In China. But as written above, a basic-2G service (for M2M and emergency signalling or calls) will stay for long.

To match dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy column values in columns C (Date1) and N (Date2), I used these formulas in row 2:
Meaning: Column: Formula: Explanation: Date1Text I =TEXT(C2,”dd/mm/yyyy”) Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings Date1Value J =DATE(RIGHT(I2,4),MID(I2,4,2),LEFT(I2,2)) Encode the date text to an actual date: dd#mm#yyyy format where # is any separator DatesEqual K =J2=L2 Are the encoded dates equal? Date2Value L =DATE(RIGHT(M2,4),LEFT(M2,2),MID(M2,4,2)) Encode the date text to an actual date: mm#dd#yyyy format where # is any separator Date2Text M =TEXT(N2,”mm/dd/yyyy”) Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings
Learn how to convert text values into dates in Excel. This lesson covers a range of different scenarios to help you. The comments have even more examples.

Brilliant! Helped me to track down why an original 1st generation Chromecast didn’t want to connect to a Buffalo WLAE-AG300N.
The problem there is that the original Chromecast does only 2.4Ghz WiFi and the WLAE-AG300N favours 5Ghz WiFi over 2.4Ghz when set to auto.
The solution is in the last picture: basically force the WLAE-AG300N to use 11n/g/b only which limits it to 2.4Ghz (it cannot use both frequencies at the same time).
Yes, I know the Microwaves drawback, but as the original Chromecast only does 2.4Ghz. I’d rather get the Chromecast Ethernet adapter but Google refuses to ship these outside the USA.

With Xcode updating frequently and Delphi about yearly and often taking more than 1 go at fixing things, you get this scary thought:
I’ve learned to not update Xcode, OSX or iOS until absolutely necessary, and even then I usually stick with an older version of Xcode that is known to be compatible with Delphi. It takes a while for Embaradero/Idera to fix issues every time Apple makes some breaking change. I recommend rolling back to an earlier version if you can.
