God damn it, my desktop machine fell off the network over the weekend. Its only video output is DMS-59 and I don't have an adapter.
I wish it had an out-of-band interface that I could use without having to hook it up to an actual display...
Edit: (10 minutes after cold rebooting it, gets a notification e-mail from it that certain services are down) Hey, you're back! Don't ever leave me again!

How WTFy it would it be for me to just use an embedded WebView in my Android app so I can use WebGL?
I mean, I know people are doing exactly that, but... Help me rationalize why it's OK.
Edit: I guess I'll just use Ionic.

It sounds like a terrible idea. Push it to production.

In less than 30 minutes with Ionic I've gotten farther than I got in 2 weeks with Kotlin.

Granted, mostly that was because I could use an actual fucking GL library instead of writing shader code and manipulating vertex buffer objects by hand.

SQL server
Addendum: when installing SQL server on a computer that also happens to be a domain controller, you'll need to give it a bona fide domain account to use to run as. Because fuck it why not.

@Tsaukpaetra
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS.That also makes that service account a domain administrator.
Even if you think you need to do this, you NEED to not do this.

My Galaxy S9+ data/charge port is pretty well fucked, I have to literally hold the cable in place to make a connection, and even then it's unreliable. It seems like I have to actually bend the cable at an unnatural angle, damaging it slightly in the process, or it will literally just fall out.
I can still charge the device wirelessly, so it's not bricked just yet, but making an adb connection is pretty much out of the question.
Do you think I can get this repaired for under $100?

ADB is available over wifi if absolutely necessary....
Edit: Just make sure you auth your device beforehand, getting the sigs transferred by hand is rough...
-
@Tsaukpaetra Yeah, I'm struggling to even keep a USB connection alive long enough to enable it via console.

This USB port is more sensitive than a woman's urethra. It seems to be affected by sound waves at about 10dB.

In theory if you add your public key to
/data/misc/adb/adb_keys
that "bypasses" the prompt to authorize your phone, but obviously you need root to do that...

That's the one that has the USB-C port, right? If you find out, let me know. Stepmom's phone also has a broken port due to son smashing a Micro cable into it.

Apparently the Service Packs don't supercede each other in a manner that lets you skip them. Cue four reboots...

@error Joke's on you, you bought a Samsung product.
You can probably get it replaced for $100, yes. Or you could buy a wireless charger for $20.

I haven't done anything with more recent Samsungs but they always used to be pretty good on the repairability front. A few quid for the tools, a relatively small amount for the replacement charging port and you can do it yourself in probably less than an hour

This is why I never, ever put my company's apps on my personal phone. If they want me to have mobile access to anything and they also want MDM, then they're giving me a phone (and to their credit, they had no problem with that). Then if there are any problems with that phone, I'm not worried about it, I can hand it to them and tell them to figure it out.

I repaired my old Note 3 a load of times. The USB connector was on a separate board, the phone itself came apart very easily.
If it's a separate board with an FPC ribbon like mine then it would just be unclip the old one and swap it, if you don't want to do any soldering.Mine had two problem in the end. Firstly, it kept getting dry-joints from the connector flexing. This is where the solder between the metal leg on the connector and the metal surface of the pad on the PCB becomes brittle and fractures, this causes intermittent connection as things flex.
Finally the connector itself failed mechanically, so that just meant replacing it.For the first couple of times, where it was just dry-joints, I just flowed each lead on the connector with a soldering iron (and tacky rework flux) to restore the joint.
The last time, I had to replace the whole connector as it was mashed. I did use a reflow oven for that, but it wouldn't have been too hard to do it by hand.
The pitch isn't actually much tighter on USB-C than micro-USB (0.5mm vs 0.65mm) so it should be fairly easy still.

Yeah, I tried everything under the sun to get it to work (short of reinstalling Windows itself). If it ran as a local user, it just stack-overflowed when trying to open the master database.
And that was during installation too...

@Cursorkeys Found a CD of Win XP. Loaded it up in Hyper-V and then quickly realised it couldn't talk to any other machine, or vice-versa, because of SMB 1.0
Finally found a TFTP server that works with Win XP. So the XP machine connects to Exchange, makes the PST and then I have to TFTP it off the VM on my own computer. A proper Rube Goldberg machine.

Why that instead of a normal FTP server? Heck, Rejetto's HFS still works wonderfully!
