2020 Macbook Pro M1 screen flickering - apple-m1

I found out that my M1 Mac starts to flicker screen in PyCharm, CLion, or UTM (The only soft for VM's on M1 Macs). Is this a problem of M1 being completely different from other chips, or I have to return my Mac in shop?
I tried rebooting the Mac, of course. Also, I checked if my IDEs are downloaded with correct architecture. Nothing helped.

VS2019 Xamarin Forms Remote IOS simulator Black screen - How to fix?

Xamarin Forms Project
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.9
Xcode on Mac version 12.4
Using IPad Pro 11 inch running 14.4 as the simulated device and IOS version.
( I tried other simulators )
If I build and run Simulation on the Mac, it works. So i believe it is a remote simulation issue.
If you set IOS simulator to remote it starts and appears to run the simulation
in the simulator but it just shows a black screen.
Ive updated everything I can think of. Mac OS, XCODE on latest available.
Visual Studio, W10, all latest available and everything restarted...
Still it doesnt work. You do see brief at time of deployment dots spinner that reminds of the spinner when shutting down.
How do I fix the back screen simulation. ?
EDIT: With Latest Updates, it works again.
After upgrading to VS2022, upgrading Xcode on the mac.
Even the simulators are now ios15.x
Somewhere is all those updates the problem is gone.
You could have a try with Forget the Device first:
Next step, better need to reboot Mac .
Last, Pair to Mac again with Add Mac manually:
If it also can not work, maybe need to check the quality of network whether is well.

Is OpenNI 2 compatibile with Windows 8.1?

I installed OpenNI 2 on my MacBook Pro that runs Windows 8.1 natively with Bootcamp.
The sensor does his job perfectly on an older white MacBook with Windows 7 and OpenNI 2 but when I try to run NiViewer on the newer MacBook Pro it just says it cannot find a device.
OpenNI 2.2 works perfectly fine on windows 8.1. I have tested it on a 64 bit Windows machine and I got good results. Check if you have installed all the drivers properly and try out all the USB ports.
The issue I had regarded specifically MacBook Pro Retina and ASUS Xtion. I'm not sure if all models are affected but it happened on my Intel i5 2013 and I think the same issue would apply to any OS.
The problem is due to some incompatibilities with (some or all I don't know) USB 3.0 ports.
The solution, luckily, is quite simple as ASUS, being aware of this, published a firmware update for Xtion 1080 which you can find here: ASUS Xtion Support Page (this link is for Xtion PRO but you can easily find the one for your device on ASUS website).
Obviously, as the Xtion won't connect to your laptop, to run the firmware update successfully you'll need to use another computer with OpenNI drivers installed so that your operating system can recognize the device and upload the firmware.

Running iPhone 5 Simulator on Snow Leopard

I am running the iOS6 SDK on my mac running Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard using steps from this Stack Overflow post.
I'm now trying to get the iPhone 4" screen to work. I have been able to get iOS 6 to show up in the iOS simulator under the Hardware > Version menu. When I try to load an iOS 6 device, I get the error: "The simulated application quit" - "Click Relaunch to try again". It then gives me an option to switch to a different SDK. If I choose iOS6, it again crashes. If I choose iOS 5, it loads correctly.
I also don't have an iPhone 4" screen option under the Hardware > Device menu.
I have copied the iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator6.0.sdk folder from the Xcode Disk Image to my computer.
I'm not able to upgrade my computer past Snow Leopard.
So I need to be able to:
load iOS 6 in the iOS Simulator
load an iPhone 4" in the simulator
Problem is Xcode 4.5 on your mac.
The original post says how to run ios 5.1sdk on "Xcode 4.2 on Snow leopard".
Xcode 4.5 is not available on snowleopard.
Install Xcode 4.2 and follow the steps again.
Another idea is to use Virtual Box and run XCode in it. Of course, running OS X on virtual box is quite difficult and not entirely legal (although you do have a Mac, so it can be justified). You can follow this link if interested.
http://www.sysprobs.com/guide-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-on-virtualbox-with-windows-7-and-intel-pc
It's for windows 7, but you should be able to get it to work on OS X as well.
I VMware Fusion 5 (and maybe 4 also, I don't remember) allows Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion to run in a VM. So you could install VMware Fusion, and use it to run a virtualized instance of Mountain Lion. Since the hardware is virtualized, it shouldn't matter that your Mac doesn't support anything newer than Snow Leopard.
Performance will likely be poor, though - my experience is that you need at least 4 gigs of RAM for VMware Fusion to run smoothly. If your Mac is too old for Lion and Moutain Lion, it'll probably won't have that amount of RAM installed.
It's said that Xcode 4.2 is the last supported version on Snow Leopard. So no it won't work and you'll have to get Lion.
I found the answer on another StackOverflow post
You would have to be under Lion in this case with both Xcode 4.2 and
4.5 installed. There should be no problem with this.
Don't forget...
As stated in a Stack Overflow post
"I installed Xcode 4.2 on a Snow Leopard and when iOS SDK was published I imported the iOS 5.1 SDK" Look at another Stack Overflow post
Use the 2nd post link. It works perfectly, just copy "6.0" instead of "5.1".
Don't forget that you could just use an external iOS device that can run iOS6
You could always ask for support from developer.apple technical support
Delete your simulator and re-download

How to change intel BIOS screen from Ubuntu 11.04

I have dell voestro 220s series desktop computer with BIOS version : 1.2.2. Ubuntu 11.04 is installed on it. At the time of system boot it shows Dell voestro and Intel logo on the screen. I want to change this intel and dell voestro BIOS splash screen. I got the solution for widows system but I want to change it from my ubuntu 11.04 system. How is it possible ?
Thanks
amar
I believe the only way to do this is by changing the BIOS. Either you dump the original BIOS image (using for example a Linux live image with flashrom, like sysrescuecd) and open it with a HexEditor to search where the image is located (it's probably a Bitmap image), or you can consider changing the BIOS into an open source one (like Coreboot + SeaBIOS) and rebuild them to include a custom image (see this page for more info).
I should warn you that neither option is easy. The first involves low level "hacking" and tinkering (and is possibly dangerous), while the second depends mainly on if your motherboard is supported (unfortunately, most motherboards for Intel processors aren't) and how familiar you are with compiling stuff in Linux.
Hope this helps. =)
