Generic universal driver for all pendrives / flash storage devices.

Tested on Windows 98 SE

Recently I have interesting issue of not being able to access my network shares on AirPort Time Capsule from Windows 10.

Pinging Time Capsule was successfull but trying access in file explorer (\\ip-address\untitled\share) cause unknown error.

Problem was caused by disabled SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support by default in Windows 10 that make it unable to connect. Reason of SMB being disabled is obsolete and have security issues but in my opinion this is not problem in trusted home network where all devices are our’s.

To enable support for SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing You need to open PowerShell with elevated permissions (run as administrator) and execute following command:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "SMB1Protocol" -All

Afrer restart You will be able to access Your Time Capsule shares.

This device is quite obsolete and I have lot trouble finding correct working drivers. (on Win 10 drivers need to be installed from device manager – navigating to program files newly created directory.

Recently I have interesting problem with Valet using wrong PHP version on my Laravel application, trying to switch it from terminal not fix issue and stating it’s already done even including force relink.

valet use php@7.4 –force
Unlinking current version: php@7.4
Linking new version: php@7.4
Updating PHP configuration…
Restarting php@7.4…
Restarting nginx…
Valet is now using php@7.4.

Solution for this problem was using following command

rm ~/.config/valet/valet.sock

valet use php@7.4 –force

After that Valet use correct PHP version in my application.

Solution – regenerate view cache (clear existing one):

php artisan view:clear

Here is Motorola TRBOnet TextMessenger v1.0 since Motorola removed old MotoTrbo page (it was available to free download) I upload it here.

Recently running brew cleanup lead to following message

Error: Directory not empty @ dir_s_rmdir – /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.19.6

To resolve following issue i executed following command

sudo rm -R /usr/local/Cellar/nginx/1.19.6

Afterwards brew cleanup work and do it’s job.

Cause of problem was in bulged (leaked) electrolyte capacitors.

After replacement – server works like champ – good score – planning to use on proxmox.

Recently I bought Sony UTX-B1 transmitter (bodypack) and I want use it with Shure WL185 Lavalier microphone.

Shure WL185 is ended up with TA4F plug and Sony UTX-B1 is using 3.5mm locking jack connector.

On eBay You can find adapters (quite expensive) that accept TA4F and give 3.5mm locking jack but they are expensive, this make sense if You need to switch between Shure bodypack or different brand – but in my case I’m going use it only on Sony so for my use best answer is just change plug.

WL185 is electrically compatible with Sony UTX-B1 and it’s only matter of replacement connector.

Here is color wiring:
