Does that mean they are going to push Europeans even harder, and do nothing to countries which are the real culprit?

Of course I use Raspberry, as I already mentioned - it's great for learning typical embedded stuff. But if the use-case is different than embedded, and more like a server or PC, then just go with PC. I too frequently see people putting

Newsflash, Raspbian is just another Linux distro, which means you can still follow the same tutorials on other distributions, Debian is the closest. Unless you play with drivers, bootloaders, Kernel hacking, or try to integrate with another

For GPIO on mini PC you can use USB-GPIO adapter. Under Linux it can be used like native Raspberry's GPIOs. Raspberry is great when one learns or needs a typical, embedded platform. I'm using Raspberry to learn about Kernel, drive

I am very happy with Apple and iCloud, seriously. I've got plenty of cloud space for a fair price, it integrates seamlessly with Apple devices, ships with a password manager, you can hide your mail addresses, and other goodies. I'

That's what I needed, literally the algorithm for approaching human beings. I should have this written in Lua and loaded to my brain along with "How to behave on funerals", and "How to be happy".

In 3rd world countries they don't care about piracy, drug dealing, or inappropriate content, but they do care about what you're saying about government. In first world countries it's the exact opposite, you can openly critici

The problem starts when the abstraction fails and you have to dive deeper, but no one taught you how to dive, only swim with a head above the water level. Those who can dive can also swim, it doesn't work the other way round, though.

APRS is actually pretty simple protocol. Data is encoded by modulating tones in a human's hearing spectrum, so if you tuned into the APRS frequency with any-purpose scanner (like most Baofengs), you would hear your childhood if you are

SMDs are not that bad, I always design my boards with SMD components, though I never put smaller than 0805. The chips are even easier to solder once they are fixed at two or three points. I totally abandoned THT elements once I felt confide

Nothing stops you from buying one of those "granny phones" with big buttons and basic functionality. No traces of Google and Apple on them either.

That means the code you wrote must have been pretty boring and repeatable. No way AI would produce code for, for example, proprietary hardware solutions. Try AI with something which isn't already on StackOverflow. Besides, I'd rat

That's an interesting point of view. For some reason we put so much effort towards making computers think and behave like a human being, while one of the first reasons behind inventing a computer was to avoid human errors.

Is piracy legal then? It's just a copy of someone else's copy.

Popping miracle pills while still eating garbage, and avoiding any physical activity, will kill you alike. Obesity is not a disease, it's a symptom of other issues, like: bad diet, bad habits, mental illness. It's like trying to c

Or just with a simple command which is guaranteed to be on most Linux systems already - make. Maybe his Makefiles aren't complex, nor they seem to follow all the best practices invented by code gurus in sandals, but it works and, what&
