Not every electronic device needs to run a general purpose operating system and arbitrary software! This is a big contributor to why modern electronics have high latency and frustrating UIs.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoMost of them are already running general purpose operating systems, and you are already paying the cost in latency (and frustrating UI) without any benefit. This is not the 90s, everything just runs Linux, even "single purpose" devices.
- the__alchemist 5y agoI'm proposing designing more devices that don't use GPOS/linux. And do their job well, with no noticeable latency or responsiveness problems. Easy for many tasks, using Cortex-M for example.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoSure I might agree there, but this is hardly the case nowadays. You have crappy overpowered hardware and incomplete software.
