If you tinker with programming , you can look into ags - aylurs gnome shell. His dotfiles include an app launcher in it, adding this functionality should not be too hard.

Do you need Krunner as a generic applauncher or do you use other features too?

I had problems with 535-104, couldn’t launch into Hyprland, tried a quick install of Plasma (though with hypr XDG) and that was laggy as all hell. Dropped back to 535-98 and it runs smooth again.

Did you enable C2I in the monitor settings?

You should be able to control the brightness. There at least are many ways you can do this in Linux.

Sure, I’m willing to eat my words on that one, for some reason my memory said 6a was 2.0

Yes, the choice being the respective SoCs not needing 3.0 support because they were intended to be used with lightning connectors.

I mean Pixel 6 still didnt have 3.0 support, so the 15 year old argument doesnt hold too much ground either.

Doesn’t that run M2 SoC?

Someone else commented that the SoC literally lacks the capability to run above 2.0. If this is the case it would be very hard to call this even scummy adjacent.

Yea, well, there you go. Pretty much straight up supports my original claim. If they need to full on change the SoC why in the hell would they fork up to support thunderbolt on iphones.

Two factors. Do they still have lightning hardware sitting on shelves? Do they need to design to fit the iphone form factor? If the answer is yes to either of these, designing for TB this release cycle seems non-sensical when most people only use the cable to charge their phones.

I think that is most likely a lot of what drives that divide, but this almost certainly the case for the port. Some shit undoubtedly is software locked, and that is in fact scummy, but new hardware will always be more expensive than hardware you have already designed and maybe even have lying around.

To get thunderbolt in there they probably need a new board specifically for the iphone, while they can just cram in the lightning version with a new solder job and call it a day.

At the end of the day 95+% of the people who will use their phones will only use the port for charging anyway.

I mean, it’s not like it matters much. Most of apple devices actually expected to transfer data over wire are on thunderbolt already aren’t they? Frankly I’m a little surprised they switched to C on 15 already, iirc they could have still released this cycle on lightning according to EU regulation (I think it only comes in effect end of 2024, right?) It comes to me as no surprise that they use up the controllers they had for lightning before they roll out thunderbolt. It will probably be 2.0 for base and thunderbolt for pro this cycle and likely thunderbolt for all next cycle. That would be the apple m/o.

ITT people pretending this is a spite based move, when realistically it is probably cutting costs by reusing the same hardware they used for lightning ports just soldering on a USB-C port instead of a lightning one.

Because they are probably using the same controller, just rewired to usbc, there are videos of this modification being done aftermarket.

The bank takes the cut anyway, it is by and large offloaded to the vendors. The bank takes a nominal “service fee” that I generally “get back” many times over in creditcard cashbacks etc, plus it ensures my purchase. Hard to actually see the benefit of using cash only.
