Simple script for checking time interval when MacOS' display has turned on and off. This is intended to be used for tracking work hours.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# A script for checking when MacOS has been in use.
# This script is meant for tracking work hours.
# Script checks when display has been turned on and off and calculates time difference.
# Result is given in format HH:MM:SS, that's the time difference between first display on
# and last display off log messages.
#
# The script is using only one log file (one day) at a time, so working overnight and then checking
# hours won't probably give meaningful result.

How to update Lenovo Laptop BIOS with USB stick

Updating Lenovo Laptop BIOS with USB stick

  • Creating the bootable USB stick was done with Mac laptop, but the instructions should work with any Linux OS.
  1. Download BIOS Update (Bootable CD) *.iso file
  2. On download geteltorito.pl for extracting the BIOS.iso file (the BIOS.iso name depends on the file you downloaded). At least Rufus couldn't recognize that file, so it couldn't be used to make bootable USB stick.
  3. On Mac/Linux commandline, set the script executable
    • chmod a+x ./geteltorito.pl

phone before going to sleep. If the person falls a sleep and the

Android 9:n asennusohje Samsung Galaxy S6:een

Samsung Galaxy S6 Androidin päivittäminen versioon 9 Pie

Ota varmuuskopiot kaikista tiedostoistasi, joita et halua menettää ennen kuin jatkat Androidin päivitystä!

Näillä oheilla on päivitetty S6 onnistuneesti Android 7-versiosta versioon 9. Ohjeet on koottu eri englanninkielisistä lähteistä.

Huomio! Päivitä CP/baseband/modeemi ennen kuin päivität Androidin. Modeemi on helpoin päivittää asentamalla uusin virallinen Android 7. Android-käyttöjärjestelmän päivitys versioon 9 ei päivitä modeemia. Jos puhelin on päivitetty uuteen Android-versioon kauan sitten (esim. vuosi sitten versioon 8), puhelimen modeemi on saattanut jäädä vaille saada päivityksiä.

Toinen huomio! Tällä hetkellä, 15.11.2018, paikannus ei toimi GPS:n kanssa. Kävellessä tämä ei haittaa, mutta autolla ei pysty ajamaan kaupungissa ja seuraamaan GPS:ää. Uusimmalla 11.12.2018 julkaistulla buildilla GPS:n pi
