<makefu> samueldr: i am also looking for a MacOS vm ... for testing just these things
<samueldr> I don't think a macOS VM would help since... I want a linux-user on mac hardware to test this :)
<makefu> ah :D
<samueldr> the command is used to get the "exact" hardware revision for the computer, like MacBook,12,1 or whatever format apple is actually using
<samueldr> well, hopefully used for that, since I can't test it
<makefu> :D
<samueldr> and since I have your attention ;) https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/issues/49
<samueldr> I'm interested in this for wiki uses too, it might be useful to build metadata to identify devices there too
<makefu> that is a great idea, really. of course we have to check what are the most useful tags, 1sec
<samueldr> definitely
<samueldr> and thanks!
<makefu> you have a lot of random hardware :D
<samueldr> hah
<samueldr> I kept my older computers around
<makefu> couldn't we also simply query the modalias like systemd-hwdb does and instead of applying udev rules we apply all kinds of config?
<samueldr> second paragraph raises this question
<samueldr> modalias is in the list of informations
<samueldr> though, if I understand all that correctly, modalias is built using the other bits around
<samueldr> some are obvious, like bvn is board_vendor
<makefu> isn't there documentation on how this string is created? i try my google-fu
<samueldr> well, that string is already built in the dmi information dump there
<Mic92> makefu: i used a vagrant one
<samueldr> but yes, having an upstream reference might be good
<makefu> wonderful!
<makefu> i will download it later
<makefu> everybody seems to be using systemd-hwdb solely for mapping keyboard shortcuts ...
<makefu> or touchpad stuff
<samueldr> touchscreen quirks and accelerometer quirks are in the udev database upstream too!
<makefu> of course there is a nice article in the nixos wiki ... :D https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modalias
<makefu> http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Modalias_strings___a_practical_way_to_map__stuff__to_hardware.html contains more indepth documentation, esp for the vendor stuff
<makefu> DMI subtype
<samueldr> makefu: s/nixos/archlinux/ ?
<makefu> yes archlinux :D
<samueldr> heh, chassis type definitely isn't reliable
<samueldr> my 10" tablet is reported as "3 Desktop"
<samueldr> (but that was expected to not be reliable)
<makefu> tablets were not developed in the time of main frame chassis

<samueldr> 2013, woo wow
