This very detailed guide was originally written by Chris Faulds and used to be available at cfdesign.work/derancilio. Unfortunately, his website is no longer online. Thanks to the Wayback Machine the article is still readable. But since the presentation is a bit wonky, I decided to mirror his awesome tutorial is this gist.

Chris has spent a huge amount of time writing an in-depth instruction on how to take the machine apart, which may also come in handy for other repairs for the Dedica 680/685. Again all credits go to him. Thanks a lot for the great work!

I'm getting adverts in my TV's UI, help!

Samsung's otherwise excellent 2016 range of UHD TVs received an update that added advertisements to the UI. This has been complained about at great length on Samsung's forums and repeatedly, Samsung have refused to add an option to remove them.

The ads interrupt the clean UI of the TV and are invasive. Here's an example of how they look:

This guide was originally posted on Samsung's TV forums but unfortunately, that site is a super-slow and barely accessible unusable mess.

Vim without NERD tree or CtrlP

I used to use NERD tree for quite a while, then switched to CtrlP for something a little more lightweight. My setup now includes zero file browser or tree view, and instead uses native Vim fuzzy search and auto-directory switching.

Fuzzy Search

There is a super sweet feature in Vim whereby you can fuzzy find your files using **/*, e.g.:

:vs **/*<partial file name><Tab>

Exposing your clipboard over SSH

I frequently administer remote servers over SSH, and need to copy data to my clipboard. If the text I want to copy all fits on one screen, then I simply select it with my mouse and press CMD-C, which asks relies on m y terminal emulator (xterm2) to throw it to the clipboard.

This isn't practical for larger texts, like when I want to copy the whole contents of a file.

If I had been editing large-file.txt locally, I could easily copy its contents by using the pbcopy command:

1. Go to https://dev.moves-app.com/apps and register a new app.
   client_id and client_secret will be given, so paste it to the variables below.
2. `$ python moves-fetch.py --requesturl` will open the web browser.
   Follow the instructions and authenticate the app.
   You will be redirected to a web page with an error message.
   Copy the string between `code=` and `&`.
   That is your request_token, so paste it below.
3. `$ python moves-fetch.py --accesstoken` will output access token to stdout.
   Copy the token and paste it below.

One can use MD5 or plain text diff to see differences in PDF files. If that's not enough, here's how to use diff-pdf which knows how to diff based on appearance or words:

• brew install diff-pdf
• edit your ~/.gitconfig to add this:

[difftool "diffpdf"]
  cmd = diff-pdf --view \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

Since this is on Hacker News and reddit...

• No, I don't distribute my résumé like this. A friend of mine made a joke about me being the kind of person who would do this, so I did (the link on that page was added later). My actual résumé is a good bit crazier.
• I apologize for the use of _t in my types. I spend a lot of time at a level where I can do that; "reserved for system libraries? I am the system libraries".
• Since people kept complaining, I've fixed the assignments of string literals to non-const char *s.
• My use of type * name, however, is entirely intentional.
• If you're using an older compiler, you might have trouble with the anonymous unions and the designated initializers - I think gcc 4.4 requires some extra braces to get them working together. Anything reasonably recent should work fine. Clang and gcc (newer than 4.4, at le
