I'm getting frustrated here. Could you guys stop for a second pretending that your "opponent" is dumb and try to look outside the box? Again, to me this are entirely arbitrary criteria. They are not "PC-Standards",

by bipson 6y ago
I didn't say it was. I was just wondering how you define PC. Form factor or "standard connectors" (whatever that is - which RPi connector is not "standard"?) are none of my criteria.

Oh, well I guess you can use it as a development board - granted. Never occurred to me. Although I would expect better debugging interfaces, less hacky hardware setup, a reasonable boot-loader, etc. Some things improved over the generatio

I know, this discussion is quite old (e.g. Mac vs. PC), but can you clarify how you define PC in your post? Particularly what makes this RISC-V board a PC, what an RPi does not have? Form factor, ATX power or PCI-Express?
245.
by bipson 6y ago
Further, a RPi is not a development board. Development boards are typically more expensive, since they are produced in lower numbers, and have features a consumer is not interested in (debugging, etc.). Unless the manufacturer pushes develo

Uhm, that seems a tad convoluted. Are you saying people that socially distance themselves are more likely to contract Covid-19 because the ones that don't are so often outside that they will contract it less probably? And further, that

There were results from studies showing weak effects of self-protection even by "simple" surgical masks a few months ago. Evidence seems to indicate there is such an effect - and contradicting the initial assumption that there isn

How would this produce the study result? Are people that isolate more likely to get hospitalized with Covid-19 than those that do not?

Let me try to explain: Where I live, cars need certification/a license to be operated. The manufacturer does that for you, so you can obtain the required document quite easily for your car. Aftermarket parts are regulated - you can&#x2

There is no such thing as high quality chip tuning , unless you are replicating 100% what the manufacturer just disabled for your MCU (e.g. unlocking some kW your motor is in principle capable of outputting). But then again, e.g. BMW uses

Are you talking about Tesla AutoPilot? This system is meant for cars without level 2 driver assist, so not for Teslas. Further, the system has no control over what "disengages" in the car itself - it is sending bogus sensor inputs

Because that means not only you (the owner) can do it. Also (caution, tangent): MCUs in cars is one of the systems where I want more encryption/signing and less hacking - especially for owners. Foremost to get rid of all the chip-t

My main concern would be that the architecture of an OTS Android system does not offer any guarantees regarding real-time i.e. hard deadlines. Ever had an android app or even the whole phone locking up? Even if it is only for a second or tw

Only very recent cars use Flexray, and also not true for all manufacturers. CAN is still widely used, and some want to skip Flexray entirely for the next thing...

It is actually concerning that you can inject false sensor data this easily. I mean, sure, the messages on the CAN will not be encrypted or signed in any way, I know, but still...

that's not what "at your own risk" means. "At your own risk" means you bear the risk (legally). If something happens, it is on you, and the manufacturer offloads any liability on you. That does not imply what the

Well, which one is it now: Are self-driving computers superior to humans and make less mistakes, or is it OK for a computer to be tricked by something some humans would also not detect? Btw. I think I can tell if there is a real stop-sign o

The feedback is simply not attributable for outsiders. I don't think there is a legal argument here. And even if the VC was identified, if the writer didn't invent any of those stories (you wanted inaccuracy, right?), there is not

I would disagree. At least the gnome printer settings did not only change (for some time you had both in parallel on Fedora), they are not complicated at all?

The paperless society is a dream. Still nothing beats printing a document, scribble on it and giving it to someone or putting it a stash on your desk - not even having a device being capable of doing those things digitally without hick-ups.

Some (professional ones, e.g. Canon) do - additionally to offering other interfaces. But let me tell you, it is terrible not being able to print from your system dialogue. Then there is IPP and LPD/LPR. But those are either limited and

Yes my phone was always on silent as well - until you have your kid in daycare and are supposed to really answer your calls as they arrive.

Yes, Android also has a DND-mode with configurable exceptions: what type of message/call gets through, who gets through right away, or after how many repeat calls. Further, you can schedule it or even trigger by certain calendar events
