I was messing around with an Xbox360 USB controller on Fedora and decided to try and play some games with it, I plugged it in and it just worked fine with no problems, then I tried a more "obscure" controller, a Logitech f710 and it also worked so I started wondering, does the Kernel already have the drivers for every single supported device/printer/scanner etc etc etc? Isn't that kind of bloated? Why would I want to have the drivers to 10000000 different things I will never use? Is there any way to make it more modular?
Hi, I am an engineering graduate and have been working with microcontrollers for the past 3 years. Recently I had started learning linux programming with gcc for embedded based applications on an ARM based SOC. I now want to learn linux device driver implementation. Are there some good online courses that I can use. What kind of projects can I do for learning purpose.
I received this email recently and would like to find/confirm if any malware is in my macOS System::
"Hello!
I'm the Chinese software engineer who hacked into your device OS.
I've been watching you for month now. The thing is, you've been infected with malware through the adult website you visited... I have downloaded all confidential information from your system and I got some more evidence.
In case you're not familiar with it, I'll explain.
The virus gives me full access and control over your computer or any other device on your network. It means that I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera and microphone, but you don't know about it. I also have access to all of your phone and email contacts, as well as access to your social media accounts.
Why didn't your antivirus detect any malware?
Answer: My malware uses a low-level device driver build-in your CPU and I update its signatures every 4 hours to keep your antivirus silent. I made a screen recording of you masturbating.
On one side of the screen is the video you're watching at the moment and on the other side is your satisfied face. With one click, I can send this video to all your contacts.
Do you want to prevent it?
I understand your concern. Especially since the video was quite vulgar, I can't imagine the embarrassment you will feel when your colleagues, friends and relatives see it.
If you need to erase all of your collected data just send 0.015 btc (Bitcoin) to a wallet that was specially generated for your email address.
Yes, it's that simple! My script will detect the transaction to the wallet and will automatically delete all the dirt that was collected on you.
I will give you 48 hours to pay.
Do not try to reply to this email, it makes absolutely no sense (the sender's email address as well as the Bitcoin wallet were generated automatically especially for you and cannot be traced). I don't make mistakes.
If I see that you've shared this message with someone else (for example, it will be open on a different device than yours), the video will instantly start being sent out to your contact list.
Take it easy. Take it as a little life lesson and be more careful in the future.
Do not start 2022 with such shame."
I work as a long haul trucker and I'd like to restore when I'm at work. Right now I have the TLC-X tugging device, but I find it kind of difficult to use while I'm driving.
Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
My device is Asus TUF gaming FX505DT The camera driver was USB2.0 HD UVC Webcam Windows 11 Please I really really need help.
I'm currently trying to mount two NTFS HDDs with the new ntfs3 driver, but I have no idea whether it's working or not, it shows "fuseblk" as filesystem type.

I bought a TP-Link UB500 Bluetooth 5.0 adapter. When plugged in, Ubuntu recognized it was there, but wouldn't pair with my headset (which works fine with other devices). In an attempt to get it working, I followed the steps in this three minute video, but now the adapter is not recognized by the system at all. I think before trying a different solution, I should roll back whatever I did.
Here's what I did (per the video):
- I downloaded the Linux drivers (zip file) from the xmpow.com website for a generic BT 5.0 adapter.
- I unzipped the file and went to the folder, where I opened the folder "in terminal".
- I executed the following three commands from the readme.txt document...
- sudo make install INTERFACE=all
- sudo make install INTERFACE=usb
- sudo make install INTERFACE=uart
In the video all three of these were executed, however, I noticed later that in the text file there's an "or" between each one. Previous to executing these commands, the Bluetooth dialog box in settings showed that the system saw the adapter, but it kept spinning as it searched for a device. This is apparently an issue with these types of dongles and Linux. Afterwards, the adapter is not even recognized as being plugged in when I check settings. I've tried remove/reinsert and rebooting.
How do I undo what I've done? (Which, honestly, I'm not skilled enough to know exactly what that is).
Ever been about to cry you're so frustrated with your computer?
Anyways, I'm trying to get Cubase Elements 11 to work on my computer. I had it working fine, but I recently reset my computer and reinstalled everything. Now, I can't get any audio to come out of Cubase and I can't get anything recorded. I'm working on Windows 11 and my computer uses Realtek Audio.
So Realtek seems to have its own AISO driver, so I started with that, but I am only seeing generic devices in my inputs and outputs (in both studio setup and audio connections). "HD Audio Output 1," etc. When I click on them, nothing happens; there are no other options for devices. I SHOULD be seeing "Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio)" and something similar for microphones.
Anyways, I downloaded AISO4ALL and tried that, but I'm getting the same result. Going into the control panel doesn't help either. Realtek's control panel is a joke, and AISO4ALL's is just showing me "Realtek (R) Audio" and "Oculus Virtual Audio Device" (I use this computer for VR as well, so that's a device that lives on my computer). It looks like I'm just getting more generic devices on the drop down as well.
I seem to remember using "Generic Low Latency AISO Driver" or whatever it's called when I used this program in the past, but the only drivers showing up on my computer are Realtek AISO and AISO4ALL and all the sites that have downloads for the generic look sketchy. Apparently it's supposed to be downloaded with Cubase, but I never got it.
Anyways, I'm lost. I can't find anyone else who is having this issue and customer support shuts down at 1:00pm. I'll try tomorrow, but if anyone has had similar problems, please let me know.
hello i have a small problem, I installed the device driver in device manager and i need to uninstall it, however i have no idea what is it named as (i manually installed and i think i screw it up of what this device type suppose ot be installed as (initially it was "?" in other category )), how do i query the windows modifications/installs the drivers in the device manager by date?
thanks a lot for the help.
So I'm relatively new to embedded systems and a while ago I was attempting to create software to interpret the DH11 temp/ humidity sensor, just to get deeper into things. I've read the documentation and understand how the protocol generally functions, but I am lost in the implementation. I was using an AtMega328p with Microchip Studio. You could simply connect the data pins to an I/O pin, but how accurate is the timing of the software. Is delay_ms worth using or does it cause more issues? I just don't know where to begin. Any advice is appreciated.
I found this link, https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/wiki/Writing-an-I2C-Driver for writing an i2c driver and got my device to work, but the author says his method is deprecated.
I haven't found anything newer, is there a newer tutorial for writing an i2c driver.
I'm trying to get a Google coral dual Edge TPU (PCIe) device running. The device is detected properly via lspci. But the /dev/apex device never loads.
I'm trying to load the driver via the gasket-dkms package in Aur.
Kernel is 5.13.
Any guidance is appreciated.
