lenovo bios password prompt

bought a used laptop and encountered a BIOS password?

here's how to hack it!

buckle up because we're about to get technical 🧵(1/?)

I'd recommend either using your mobile browser's features to install a web app to your homescreen (like a shortcut) or writing two separate frontends with shared business logic.

Straight HTML – no, not that I know of.
But there are lots of ways to have the same codebase run on the web and on mobile, such as Compose Multiplatform or Flutter. To be completely honest though, the user experience usually suffers a lot.

woah, congrats! I love Makeship, cool company. I hope you'll have lots of fun! :)

Finally announcing a brand-new Kotlin Multiplatform test framework: TestBalloon is now ready for you to explore, built from the ground up to make writing all kinds of Kotlin tests simple and fun, everywhere!

Please share, tell me what you think!

The project (Kotest) as a whole just seems very bloated and slow. I've tried writing a PR for Kotest at least three separate times and I gave up each time because the code is so ridiculously complex and hard to work with.

Anyway, again, phenomenal work! Can't wait to try it out!!

My #1 issue with Kotest is that its JS tests can't be nested, meaning you'll spend hours writing a beautiful test spec and then you try to run it on JS and it just won't. So then you either remove your nesting, write separate non-nested JS tests, or trust that your code works on JS without testing 🥲

This looks genuinely amazing 🤩
I've been having a lot of gripes with Kotest (explained in the next reply) and this project looks like exactly the kind of thing I've been daydreaming of the whole time.
I haven't checked it out yet but I will as soon as I can! Great work 👏

That's a quote from my grandpa btw (he's so cool)

Eating chocolate is healthy because it makes me happy.

idk what a rape game is but I think that if two corporations have the ability to force an agenda upon a whole industry, that's inherently bad, no matter if the agenda is morally correct or not

7 days. Start at 08:00, be done by noon, then do other cool shit.

This is the perfect moment for crypto companies to offer their platform as a way to pay for such games.
While I'm not a big fan of crypto, this could actually be good. Because I don't see Visa/Mastercard reversing course on this any time soon...

Day 3 of the grand #polyphasic #sleep #experiment! Wow, so exciting!

Yesterday was a bit rough as I started by oversleeping 3 hours. I required more sleep than planned, but my core sleep just now was perfect and I slept like a baby, so today is going to be great!!

Thank me later

Today is day 2 of my #polyphasic #sleep #experiment.

I had to push my core sleep way back because I got held up irl and I overslept dramatically. It's now 18:30 and I just woke up, so 3.5 hours over! It's already time for the next nap now.

Other than this yesterday was great though lol

The anime is called GJ-bu and you should go watch it if you like Slice of Life because it's a true masterpiece, it's my favorite anime of all time!!!!! <3

ME AND WHO?!?

A snippet of Zig source code. The code is the following: // TODO: check for duplicate units // TODO: check for illogical unit conversions // TODO: check for circular unit conversions // TODO: validate unit prefixes fn validateUnits(comptime units: []const Unit) void { for (units) |unit| { if (unit.symbol.len == 0) err("Units must have names, this one's name is empty.", .{}); } }

when your TODOs are longer than the function implementation 🤔

What if that someone was me? 👀

Okay I should probably stop joking because that response was deeper than I thought. Seems like you made the right call though!

the biggest struggle in life is going through the laundry basket full of 28 almost but not quite identical-looking black socks and pairing them up how you think they go and being left with the last two socks which look nothing like each other but you just pair them up anyway because fuck that

Since becoming unemployed I've struggled a lot with finding motivation to do things *now* rather than later. I often push stuff back indefinitely and procrastinate. So this clear segregation of my day is designed to help with that. Hopefully!

¹ = these 4 hours are free time. I can freely choose what to do here and I'll put appointments here if possible.

² = these 3 hours are reserved for chores. If I don't have enough chores, the rest is free time once again.

³ = these 8 hours are reserved for working.

I'm trying a #polyphasic sleep schedule for the first time ever!

Today is day 1.

05:00-06:00 = 1 hour asleep
06:30-10:30 = 4 hours awake¹
11:00-15:00 = 4 hours asleep
15:30-18:30 = 3 hours awake²
19:00-20:00 = 1 hour asleep
20:30-4:30 = 8 hours awake³

Totals 6 hours of sleep per day.

“celibacy” is pure copium if I've ever it

OH sex? me??? yeah I could have so much sex. all the sex. I would be DROWNING in sex if I wanted to!! I'd just rather not, ya know? Gotta stay celibate and all that 💅🏼💁🏼

*proceeds to use all three womanizers at once, moaning “please fuck me hard daddy”*

Twitch Twitch is the world

I just did a 2-hour long coding stream on Twitch.

I didn't have my mic on because I'm shy like that (sorry).

If I had been smart, I would've posted about it *before* doing it though 🤔

Well, if you want to you can follow me at twitch.tv/simplyymika :)

I hope this is not how it's going to work in Kotlin (again, haven't watched the full talk yet). But otherwise I'm excited :)

In Zig's case though, this often leads to incomprehensible error messages because it fails to mention where the user passed the wrong value and instead just mentions the place where the non-conformity is discovered.
Which often is very deep down in the stdlib somewhere... very annoying.
