It does

*If available

Of course

It will default to BT non-le, as does the mi app and gadgetbride because LE has tons of connection issues often.

My Mi Band 2 usually lasts 25-30 days between charges

I don't have a Mi Band

BT and BT LE are not the same standard.

The rabbit hole deepens

With notifications on, alarms etc

The alarms cant even dream of having me wake up

The alarms cant even dream of having me wake up

Lol

The rabbit hole deepens

If he told me his model i could answer it for him ?

Weirdly, alarms from the Mi wake me up

My MiBand works simultaneously with a Bluetooth speaker, both of which are connected to the same phone. I don't know but how foes that work? I though bluetooth could only connect to single device.

Guess you just gotta check the specsheet

Meanwhile the conventional phone alarm doesn't

No

"you can count it on 4 hands" = "its a rather small number - not <10 but assume it to be not much kinda" german saying i think

Fingers?

BL is multi

Which device do you have?

Samsung J5, the old one - on the Samsungs web page it shows that BLE is not supported, so Mi Band supporting both BTs would explain it

Weird saying. Sounds like someone has 4 hands. In Spanish the saying is: "You can count it with the fingers of a hand"

Doesn't that already exist? I've been using it for years. Or do you mean an android widget for the in notification controls of KDE connect?

No, home screen widget.

Guess you just gotta check the specsheet

Hmmmm

In the sense that Bluetooth emits waves on every direction and devices connect

Bluetooth can multidevice

Samsung J5, the old one - on the Samsungs web page it shows that BLE is not supported, so Mi Band supporting both BTs would explain it

Bluetooth 4.1, A2DP Yeo, not supported.

Fingers?

Yeah, that would make a lot more of sense.

Bluetooth can multidevice

Ok.

Also all BT-LE must support BT afaik for initial connection.

The LE standard needs usual BT to work

No, home screen widget.

use an mpd music player and control it from an mpd app :P

For initial device pairing

For initial device pairing

What i was saying

Yup

use an mpd music player and control it from an mpd app :P

Yeah, but some people did like the widget idea...

I just confirmed it ?

Bluetooth 4.1, A2DP, EDR, LE For my note 4 - but LE is super unreliable.

Same

What do you use for it?

Mi band looses connection all the time

App

I mean

BTW, the Mi Band App creates a Tencent folder on the device. It probably sends data and analytics to them. What do they even do with Tencent? So do you guys block internet access or what for that app?

What do you use for it?

whole-day Heartrate, sleep, step counter and co in gadgetbridge

I do block access

And use Gadgetbridge from time to time

Tencent is Chinese Zuckerberg

Me too. But I heard of GadgetBridge for the first time right now. Will look into it.

Not always, just the things i use anyway.

Also alternativeto can be a great help too, as it allows to select "open source"

Ho2ever I've found that it's a mediocre service at best :P

I've got a programming question - I get the following linker error: undefined reference to symbol 'socket@@GLIBC_2.2.5', how should I know what should I add to the ld command line? I assume I don't have something like -lpthread or -lm, but I have no idea what exactly I'm missing.

Better than not even having any remote idea of available free alternatives.

Also helps to move enterprise customers over.

I found Mixxx on alternativeto because I was sick and tired of a relative asking me to crack Virtual DJ

Asking to crack, lol

DuckDuckGo is there to search ?

Indeed it is, but these guys want everything on a silver platter. Searching is too hard

Donated for feature development, mostly for Blender since that's what I use mainly

Ok. So did Blender get that features you asked for?

Yes

Bmesh and real-time updates are in Blender now

I think free software projects could learn from blender's funding model. They do cool stuff worth paying for like the open movies and learning DVDs and books

Latest thing is a USB stick that helps fund the 2.8 release

Other programs don't go beyond the "plz donate" effort

Marketing donations and stuff like this is the reason Krita is doing so well compared to GIMP. Its sad cause I'd like to see GIMP improve. Krita may be great for illustrations but it isn't primarily a photo editing suite.

Aren't there any alternatives for GIMP tho? Other than wine + Photoshop :P

Nothing comparable. GIMP is the most powerful thing I've seen for photo editing on Linux. It's second only to Photoshop on a VM or Wine. Krita can do most of it's stuff but its more of a drawing suite (where it outshines GIMP by far) Anything else isn't even close.

I wish gimp would start one like that as well, yes.

Last time I talked with a gimp developer a few years ago about why they didn't do the one-window interface, they said there were a lot of things they wanted to do but there is a serious lack of developers

Hello and welcome to Linux where users want the world and not pay for it ?

It's worse if they are coming from windows. They can't shake the "download exe from the internet" mentality

You find horrific rpm packages sourced from shady websites in that machine within 2 months

I know, that was me 15 years ago when I started using Linux

Also never ever, install for such a person Wine

What? They do have a one window interface. It has been there for as long as I remember. It just isn't the default setting.
