This is the problem when building around a specific part, no matter how cheap. The hobbyist community has selected certain daughter boards to clone, and then place SoCs on them that can run Linux (or any other hobbyist OS). If one SoC vanis

I think he's doing an important analysis, but not for DIY hobbyists: knowing how cheap your SoC is only makes sense when you're finalizing a BOM for mass production, even if they're small runs. The SoC is only one component o

FOSS is shipped by Microsoft on the Microsoft store. It, too, would be illegal.

Nope, Windows Server would be illegal in Europe. Microsoft ships too much non-trivial FOSS software in Windows now. There is no major OS that they can run, nor can they develop for it (the act of installing GCC or LLVM would now be illega

No offense, but that just means the EU will no longer be compatible with FOSS. FOSS runs the world, and Europe will find themselves without software to run the majority of their systems. Without FOSS? No Internet. No business. No nothing .

VueScan is really really huge in the photog community for those who still have to handle (or restore) film negatives. Not only does it continue to support scanners that have long since been abandoned by their manufacturers, its just straigh

Let's go another way with this: You are extremely unlikely to ever come across a fentanyl user, even if you work for law enforcement, even if you're a LEO in a major metro. 10x people died of heart attacks than any opioid, not onl

And here I was getting excited. If it is the major discovery I'm thinking of from a few years ago, it was interesting, but I don't know if it qualifies as major.

Miners do overclock, but they also undervolt when they can. Mining presents an atypical load; it limits what you can do with undervolting, but it also allows sometimes ridiculous overclocking that would instantly crash under a 3D workload w

I called it, it was, indeed, bad behavior from miners. Didn't expect it to be poor storage conditions to be the trigger, though. Probably a combination of that and the extreme stress of overclocking.

I think Youtube has ran its course. Google knows Youtube is no longer the money maker it once was, and is knowingly (either literally so, or by using algorithms they can blame and plead ignorance) pushing spicy content to get you to interac

That kind of sucks, and I'm surprised a prosecutor is willing to risk their career. However, this article has very strange wording in it, "Mr. Baldwin, [played] former President Donald J. Trump on "Saturday Night Live"&q

Yes, 8gb is enough to do dev with. Although I suggest not using Chrome, but another Chromium browser that can sleep tabs by default, or Firefox instead.

I enjoyed Emacs is Not Enough , I think it nailed trying to make it's point on why modern computing is so user hostile. I've sent it to emacs users I know, and they, too, have enjoyed it.

No, it's completely possible. You go into the BIOS and turn it off. Any BIOS that you can't turn it off is either defective, or it is meant for high security enterprise stuff (you have to pay extra for corporate laptops that only

Yes and no. People have built speaker amps out of Dynahis. Due to the small size of the PCBs, it is trivial to do bi/tri-amped designs (with the woofer using a different amp or multiple stacked Dynahis). The Dynahi is, admittedly, a ~2

Don't see the point of this when I can just build a Kevin Gilmore Dynalo or Dynahi. Very low part count, almost BOM golf like; multiple variations by him and others to cover any case. Closest you will ever get to a wire with gain. Not

I agree someone is doing something wrong, wrt sluggish browser performance and routing. However, I keep being exposed to this in random SPAs I get exposed to; I can only conclude this continues to be a problem that developers have and t

by DiabloD3 4y ago
I think its good to bring up SPAs in this context: fundamentally, they shouldn't exist, and you're using the browser wrong. They are the poster child of design smell when it comes to "web apps". Do you need SEO to work,

The Gnome/Apple way is also apps can opt out when they do their own scaling, such as browsers, and can just stream the output directly at 1:1. The fix, unfortunately, is blame the hardware. Desktop monitors that don't approach s

I think Typescript isn't worth using, and I find this unfortunate. The Typescript team clearly has put years of work into this, and clearly has tried to shore up the deficiencies in Javascript. Are you writing a brand-new codebase that

That is a decent analysis. This is also why the government tries to persuade people away from auditing the Fed, as it would be the nail in the coffin to the ongoing crime that has been perpetrated for the past 110 years: unchecked governmen

Netbios is off by default in Windows; technically it is auto, but auto only turns it on if it sees a request from another machine on the LAN, or the network's DHCP passes a special field (no Linux dhcpd impl does this by default, or ev

Pulse and Red Devil are the two major series that have hit the tops of the charts among miners; they overclock easier, they survive at overclocked longer, and they run at overclocked cooler, and their fans survive higher RPM longer. They ar

by DiabloD3 4y ago
It has already been confirmed by major people in the community that designs, ref or not, that use a conventional cooler do not exhibit the issue, and will reach about 85c (ie, normal) at 100% load. The dead giveaway isn't that the chip

The way that is worded makes it sound like a certain German retailer is frequented by miners, and this is what the failure mode of RDNA2 cards look like when overclocked and overvolted until dead. The article says the users claimed they wer

This is pretty alarming. I don't think Apple can do a full rewrite of Foundation, unless its opt-in only for Swift apps that have been ported to the new Swift-only codebase. If they are trying to opt in non-Swift apps, well, I'm
