We are not the sum of individual parts.
We are not meant to be alone or isolated
We are the sum of each other
We are meant to share and to learn from each other

我们不是一个个独立个体的简单相加。
我们不应孤独,也不应彼此隔绝。
我们是彼此的一部分。
我们生而分享,生而相互学习。

Just because you believe in something it does not make it true and that people who hold to tightly to a truth the see as definite are never going to have there eyes opened to actual truth, wars have been and are still are fought on this basis.

People have the power to see what politicians hide.

So after nearly 7 years of extremely solid performance and service i have finally retired my iPhone 11 Pro Max , one battery replacement and it still looks like new. That phone was built like a tank!

So on with my new workhorse the 17 pro max, hopefully another decent phone that lasts.

So I had a little test, I have an M3, MacBook Air (Mac OS, 16gb) and an 7,2 MacBook Air (Linux, 8gb, i5). Small python script to calculate primes from 0 to 1000000. M3 did it 0.0519 seconds and the i5 (Linux) in 0.1616 seconds.

import time

def sieve_primes(limit):
sieve = [True] * (limit + 1)
sieve[0] = sieve[1] = False

for i in range(2, int(limit**0.5) + 1):
if sieve[i]:
for j in range(i*i, limit + 1, i):
sieve[j] = False

So currently working on a depth hold controller for an ROV, along with developing the maths and then modelling smaller aspects of it under Python.... Needs further work, and maybe some form of real time output on the plot whilst changing variables

So installed Ubuntu on my MacBook and I have decided it is now the MacBook + Chaos Goblin Sidecar! Aka Linux I think that is somehow fitting at times!
February 3, 2026 at 7:56 PM
So I reinstalled my MacBook running Linux with Budgie too Ubuntu Gnome (22.04) WiFi and Bluetooth were once the drivers had been installed but the camera was a pain. However problems sorted and it now no longer freezes the video, just have to figure out the best way to install Chinese and pinyin

So finally got round to reusing my MacBook Air 7,2.

Ubuntu seems to work like a charm, the WiFi is the usual culprit on MacBooks but I was able to use my phone connected via USB.

Just had to run

sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms

Reboot the MacBook and hey presto, even the Bluetooth worked!

Not touched Latex for quite sometime, having to go back to basics for a refresh 🤣🤣

Biggest pain of the Pico, Python works like a charm as does C/C++ but when it comes to bare metal Assembly, having to work with UF2 conversions.

Next step is working on low level drivers in C for GPIO, Timer, uart and systick.

When my hands get a little board I play, and then I come up with several more ideas.... it's a good distraction when I feel a little stressed sometimes.

I have always loved computers and tech from the age of eight so I have been around and working with technology for the best part of 4 decades.

I have used so many different systems and operating systems I have lost count of them all. For the past decade or more i have used Linux and Mac.

So in the UK alone in the past year or so, the MOD, M&S, JLR, Coop, multiple NHS trusts, and a children’s nursery group have been hacked.

The government think a national, digital ID service will help with a singular issue. They feel this will work because it has worked in other countries.

I have missed doing Gaussian Elimnation and Gauss–Jordan elimination.

It’s been to long ❤️

So going back many many years, my first and only retail OS I ever bought from a computer store now long gone.

Red hat 5.2, I thought it was funny at the time, you know, not having to download and ‘make’ a version of Linux… I think this was also the last Redhat distribution of Linux I ever used.

One of my favourite games going back many years, no longer works on newer MacBooks due to it being 32bits however combine Crossover and the same Macbook and Tada!!!

Now to get it working on my Linux system!
August 28, 2025 at 9:27 PM
So I was never much of a gaming fan, never really got into games consoles, but the Linux powered Steam Deck has been something of a revelation!

I have been a valve user for a while, many indie games and not many so called AAA games, however I do rather like Tolkien’s work….
August 28, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Well it’s up and running!
July 31, 2025 at 3:02 PM
So I have finally gotten around to sorting out Endeavour OS on my Surface Pro 6, WiFi and Bluetooth fully working and for a few bonus points I got the camera working as well.

However as a nice curve ball Cheese shows the rear as upside down.
July 31, 2025 at 10:08 AM
Woohoo Endevour OS running on Microsoft Surface Pro 6, having a few problems with Bluetooth not working but WiFi, Camera all working.

First Arch based distro I have been able to get fully working (ish) 🎉

Ohh something interesting, I have a Macbook M3 amongst the pile of laptops I use, I doubted the use of this laptop for virtual machine work under Parallels.

However having now used it, and discovered the emulation of an x64 system, well wow, even though I have only used Ubuntu server
