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 :)
<
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
<
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>
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>
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
