What does 'none of it worked' mean, here? A USB2 cable connected to a USB3 device will still work, as USB2. This is required in the spec, and hopefully the OS provides a helpful hint here, especially if more than USB2 HS bandwidth

Without USB-PD, existing phones will already limit their charge current, and Android at least will say 'charging slowly'. The place to enforce USB-PD is at the source, which is what is happening in your described scenario. Yes, si

What you describe would be a broken charger, not a broken cable. The charger is supposed to interrogate the cable and only offer 5A if a) the cable responds and b) responds with a 5A capability.

The 'DFP' (source) interrogates the cable, and when it advertises its capabilities to the 'UFP' (sink) it will only include what is mutually supported by the source and cable. In theory I believe the 'UFP' can

I think it's not so much that there are too many combinations of capabilities, but more that it is hard to express the device/host constraints in a user-friendly way. Does a 'red' stripe mean my 'green' device

That is one solution, and in some scenarios it might not even be noticeable, but it's basically conceding the problem and accepting a guaranteed audio dropout at the end of every 'song', since for this to work you need some d

Yeah, Sonos is very much the Apple of this space. A solid, user-friendly implementation of several pre-existing concepts into a cohesive product - no small task. I don't think the technologically important parts of this are patentable

In addition to GeoDNS as explained by my sibling post, this can be achieved not by making the domain point to different IP addresses, but by placing multiple instances of the same IP address in different points in the network (Anycast), a

The point is that nobody is going to agree to this regardless of whether they are being honest or not, because of the possibility of a bug or oversight leading to 'serious penalties'.

A fairly typical and simple approach is to set an intentional, fixed delay, say 500ms, to absorb network latency / inconsistency. The sender sends a target playback timestamp ~500ms in the future with each block of audio. Then the actu

Kind of. The bigger problem you will have if you try this is that the audio is not clocked by the system clock, and the audio clock is almost always free-running (and even if it were derived from the system clock, NTP et al don't gener

The synth toolkit seems clearly separated as a separate project 'AMY'. But it does seem to be two things - the syncronization and network software/firmware, and the ESP-based hardware.

Lightning accessories used crypto-based verification. I would be surprised if the next iteration for USB-C is not significantly stronger. So more than a simple spoof / replay attack will likely be required.

From a technical perspective, of course it is possible to give users control of the trust on the devices they ostensibly own, rather than giant megacorps, and I remain extremely unconvinced that this leads to a meaningful loss of security o

Ampere's processors are more or less fixed clock, which makes sense to me in a processor designed for cloud servers. You don't really want unpredictable performance, and in a multi-tenant situation like Oracle Cloud where I ran it

Interesting. I thought it would be interesting to compare the behaviour of (very) different AArch64 processors on this code. I ran your code on an Oracle Cloud Ampere Altra A1: sum_slice time: [677.45 ns 684.25 ns 695

Perhaps enabling them to censor the feed is one of the primary reasons for the acquisition. I can't imagine it was that expensive, considering the likes of whom might take issue with the data being public.

Oh you're absolutely right about Chrome, I'm just not sure why you mention 'anti-Apple', because Apple's leverage is being used in many of the same ways, just much more aggressively than 'best viewed in IE'

Most large airports will definitely have primary radar covering the terminal control area, but the range of these is typically only some 60nm. Primary radar requires relatively a lot of power, and has other issues (e.g. target correlation)

TBH most everything works fine for me (unless I just don't know what I'm missing), but there is a very clear and frustrating gap with Meet backgrounds (blur etc.), which are artificially disabled on Firefox for dubious reasons.

It's not really failing silently, it's telling you through the overflow flag. To me this seems logically consistent with how one would expect overflow to behave, as it does with other instructions like ADD. That said, I think this

Does Apple pay anything meaningful to ARM? They're a founding member with (I believe still) a significant stake. I find it doubtful they didn't secure themselves a perpetual license when they founded the company, and that seems
