Been around for a while too, TheBrain is an interesting program. Probably ahead of its time. I hope it’s eventually open-sourced as I hope they’ve got loyal long-term enterprise customers to keep paying for support contracts and it would gr

Wow so much Siri bashing in here. I’m a daily driver and I suppose an outlier working on a now aging 6S+ but Siri has been way reliable and generally fast outside of what I’d call “harsh” environments like outside on a busy street or with p

All of the flight controller development I see is just circuit optimization for LC filters (cleaner video), integrated OSD, smaller 20mmx20mm footprint for micro-builds, hardware-wise anyway. There is a good amount of competition in the cle

Nice clean build, what frame is that? Just bought a pair of fly egg 100’s frames (not kits) for a tiny build but I was planning on deleting the “cage”. The FrSky TX is quite a project too, very interesting. You got a write up or project pag

That’s only when you actually catch it mid stream. Once you hit space and start a new word it’s game over. Frequently happens at the worst moment when you’re trying to mash out a complex explanation in a rushed fury.

Sometimes - perhaps often - you are in situations where you have no control over the shell, in these cases writing "portable" shell scripts is helpful. I have been enjoying "Beginning Portable Shell Scripting"[0] by Pete

Maybe a dumb question, is there some technical reason why the SD card ever needs to be writeable if you’re netbooting? I understand the appeal of not needing an SD at all, but if the common failure mode is read-only just embrace it. Speakin
