Linux, Gadgets and Multimedia. In ye olde days a Cyprianus was the Wizard's spellbook. As a rule a Cyprianus manuscript started with these words: "Even though Roboam knew all the secrets of our Art he did not abuse his knowledge. Do Thou likewise."
I could not use the remote. Tried to pair via the app. Noting seemed to work. Even pressing the reset button on the back did not work.
In the B&O app I restarted the Countour. Then I tried to pair the remote with the Contour from the B&O app. This approach worked.
IMHO the Beoremote is so elegant, but cases like this happen too often. I am not sure that I'll buy that remote again, since it's more easy to control the TV via an app.
I cannot take the goddamn ID-photo ind the app. Error every time. Of course you have to start all over every time.
This registration sucks big time!
Now I have to go to the "Borgerservice" (Public Service) office in person.
On the pass photo you have to remove the glasses one thread suggested. Then I have to read the instructions on a screen, however I cannot read them without glassses ... Tried with and without glasses 10 times or so.
This app sucks big time! I asked the helpdesk to take these UX problems to the management, but I seriously doubt that anything will happen here.
Suddenly I have read only access to all my Microsoft documents. The error message is that I'm not allowed to edit MS documents ".. on a Mac". I have no words ... apart from the memory my two decade long frustation with anything from Microsoft.
So they have taken all my documents as hostage. Microsoft is worse than a virus. Microsoft is a security risk.
A solution
The immediate solution is this: use Libre Office. Open Source software is more secure than the crap from Microsoft.
PS: I have experienced weird problems with Microsoft. At home I ditched Microsoft in year 2000. At home I use Ubuntu.
PPS: Note to myselft - don't use Microsoft unless you have to workwise.
Workaround that worked
Just log in with the same email as usual ... then the account will work. So the problem was an error message that did not make sense!
Initiating my new Macbook ran like a charm. I used the migration tool from the old model to the new. Waited (a very fine opportunity to practise guitar / Boss GT-1). To my surprise most things worked.
First the brew stuff did not work. However, after half an hour or so it was also updated. So here is everything about it:
I had to reinstall MAMP to an ARM version. I exported the database from the old PC. Then everything seemed to work. All my versions of WordPress databases were imported - and everything just worked out of the box. Even the old MAMP settings were intact (I have all the files in my Documents folder, it's just more easy).
