There aren't a whole lot of RISC-V processors that abide by the strictest definition of "fully open source" that are that interesting. There's GPU silicon, encode/decode, sometimes a DSP, maybe even random elements

You linked a study saying that under 1.5mg/L, fluoride is safe. EPA maximum is 4.0, but secondary standard is 2.0. Current recommendations from the Dept. of Health and Human Services are at 0.7mg/L.

Vegans should already be extremely watchful of their nutrition, as there's for example B12 in a lot of animal products, where a B12 deficiency means you are getting nerve damage.

3D scanning is not some niche cottage industry. There's loads of different solutions by companies ranging from Epic Games to Autodesk, DIY solutions using Xbox Kinect, to dedicated devices. Just depends on what you are trying to do and

To my knowledge, Debian changed deps in bcachefs-tools to synchronize with Debian's Rust repo, breaking it. It's one part that it's a green fs, and the other with clashing expectations of how to treat dependencies between Rus

I genuinely can't think up of something other than cooking up a solution using a helper process and a buffer to store messages, which is probably what you are doing anyways. Other than that, you're looking for an asynchronous IPC.

Given that this was circa 2000, could have had provisions for 2 more prototypes for Transmeta and VIA. I doubt they would have gotten far or even start given that they likely wouldn't have very competitive options, but it's fun to

No it's not. Bitlocker, etc are full disk encryption methods. They are trying to prevent someone from accessing your data in the event someone has it physically. They can do other things to compromise the device in increasingly sophist

I read the article, and I am no more informed about this than before. What it tries to explain it doesn't put them into a digestible form, doesn't explain anything, or gets it just plain wrong.

California's wildfire issues are pretty much exactly the same thing what hurricanes on the eastern seaboard are. Except you can't really protect yourself nor your home from fire, and controlling wildfires is a bit of a hot button

Founders cards being worse than board partner models hasn't been true in like 8 years. They switched to dual axial rather than a single blower fan with the 20 series, which made the value of board partner models hard to justify. Since

Nvidia wants you to buy their datacenter or professional cards for AI. Those often come with better perf/W targets, more VRAM, and better form factors allowing for a higher compute density. For consumers, they do not care. PCIe Gen 4 d

A nuclear reactor could suffice as a local power source. Maybe fusion in another 50 years. With a local power source, electrolytic oxygen generation is possible. Food, hydroponics. Transportation? Could figure something out. Most of this te

Something to do with free software everything, not features that Coreboot provides that a standard InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS doesn't have. I don't quite get it myself, and it is quite a niche, but some people care more about it more tha

I know there are a bunch of laptops that have good support for Linux, but I'm talking one more level deep than that. Good support for Coreboot UEFI is hard to come by, and FOSS EC firmware (this makes laptop specific features possible)

System76 has their own UEFI BIOS and EC firmware, but that doesn't even make it better since you can hypothetically buy a Clevo laptop and mod it to be a brother from another mother.

I bet if that water was analyzed the same way NIST would and painstakingly recreated, if they were to blind taste test it with those folks, they couldn't tell the difference.

Feels like 3D printers have changed. A slicer from 10 years ago is not going to generate as good a print as one from today. And it feels like the variety of filaments from 10 years ago has greatly changed.

That's pretty cool at first glance, but I can't help but be critical in that the trial drink isn't carbonated, the drink is primarily for the demographic that would care about such a thing, and wax paper generally isn't

Technically speaking, a good majority of SteamOS is just Arch with a bunch of FOSS software on top making Steam work its magic. There's nothing stopping someone from developing a copy that's open to much more hardware. Though I do

Don't see why it wouldn't work, as UEFI is basically a hard requirement for running Windows. With UEFI support, there's a lot of functionality that's assumed to be there (e.g. basic graphics) that the question becomes &q

How is Geekbench any good at comparing RISC-V to ARM? Geekbench isn't a native RISC-V application, let alone has the wherewithal to correctly report any basic information like frequency or core count. You haven't even prefaced the
