You need Windows 10 machines to develop for/deploy IoT Core last I checked, so that killed it for us (corp world still holding onto Windows 7).

There is hope for these, e.g. lifetime in C++20. Herb Sutter's talk at this same conference is really good and covers both of your first examples.

I saw a Samsung ad today, boasting that the battery lasts all day... I was mildly disgusted that's where we're at. There are seriously devices that don't last the day?

I guess the CS component of EE has grown quite a lot since back then. You learn at least a solid programming base early on, and get much deeper into CS if you go down the embedded systems path. I totally agree with everything in your last t

I never understood the attraction of PIC in the face of ARM. The ecosystem seemed so much weaker in terms of compilers, libraries, and sheer variety of parts available.

A number of people dislike Wayland because applications can't watch the screen, keyboard input, clipboard etc outside of their own window. Really, that's one of its great strengths over X11.

Yes. IIRC from my testing a while back, both 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 close TLS connections either immediately or after a short timeout. Short timeout could work if you're running a larger network, but not so much at home.

Even if that were to make economic sense (it doesn't), you'd still have a major defence issue relying entirely on external food supply.

Running EOL hardware means you're likely open to a bunch more things than just an old wireless security standard..

That's a general thing for safety critical real-time systems, not just avionics.

Wayland (with Gnome) is fine as a daily driver on Arch (I've been using it for months, since AMD drivers were mainlined). I guess Ubuntu's packages are just too old.

There are three main reasons for this, don't underestimate any of them: generally more technically literate to make the choice to use macOS, unix and DE design, and small target for malware makers.

Fair enough, and you're quite right about Alpine being geared more for embedded. For general use I find Alpine a bit of a pain due to lack of systemd (bring on the hate ;)), and of course lack of docs hurts usability a bit. With regard

Those two, particularly Ubuntu, are the opposite of naked. Try something like Arch.

What do you think of TFTP then? All things have their uses. Outside of the valley, a ton of things don't live on untrusted networks.

I'm not sure I've seen a more accurate handle before. I'd welcome any evidence to convince me otherwise though.
