Backup android app, data included, no root needed, with adb

Note: This gist may be outdated, thanks to all contributors in comments.

adb is the Android CLI tool with which you can interact with your android device, from your PC

You must enable developer mode (tap 7 times on the build version in parameters) and install adb on your PC.

Don't hesitate to read comments, there is useful tips, thanks guys for this !

Summary of all problems I have with the Linux Desktop

Linux Desktop Issues

Important

I have "moved" this post to my website: https://slugcat.systems/brain_dump/linux-desktop-issues/. Any new updates will be made there.

This is basically my manifesto of why Linux sucks and I keep using Windows as a desktop OS. This is both as a developer platform and end-user targeting.

Look: I would love to be able to use Linux as a daily driver. KDE is amazing and they clearly put far more effort into the desktop experience/UI than Windows (just the volume mixer alone). There are simply far too many underlying and infrastructural problems to the Linux desktop that none of KDE's great UI changes can make up for. I want Linux fanboys, developers, etc... to stop sticking their damn head in the sand about these issues and admit that Linux is still decades behind in some basic infrastructure. This shit can't get fixed if people refuse to admit it's broken in the first place, which some people are far too happy to do.

msys2 vs msys vs msysgit
MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin
Cygwin is an attempt to create a complete UNIX/POSIX environment on Windows.
MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite which allows you to create Windows executables - you only
need the normal MSVC runtimes, which are part of any normal Microsoft Windows installation.
MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite,
not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime.

DX7

image

Note: One of the algorithms is incorrect due to a missing operator. Need to update the image. Will have to get on that soon.

These are the original 32 algorithms as used in Yamaha DX7.

The later Yamaha FS1R and Yamaha SY77 may have compatibility with these algorithms, but that's beyond the current scope. The FS1R contains 88 algorithms, while the SY77 contains 45 algorithms.

Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
