Demand for Apple's M1 laptop isn't going to be a problem for TSMC if Apple is currently their only customer with volume production of 5nm parts. I'm trying to understand where the idea of any 5nm shortage comes from. The shor

Does everyone want 5nm? Would another fab tomorrow be useful? Who's actually shipping 5nm at volume except Apple right now? Are Huawei or were they forced elsewhere? Broadcom 5nm is barely going yet, neither AMD or Nvidia are shipping

Is webrtc-rs usable? There are ticks missing for Media or DataChannel and PeerConnection. Aren't these required to do anything useful?

Aren't these BGAs? Safely removing and then also re-balling large non-socketed chips is tricky. Do they actually have machines for this? I understand that the re-work house we use do it by hand and also spend a chunk of time inspecting

That's what i thought also which is why I was curious it was considered top performing. I suppose there are metrics other than profitability to define performance.

Also a decent chance your fixed-network connection is going through a Nokia edge/core router along the way.

The cutiepi-enclosure/CutiePi_ID_spec.pdf file is marked as "confidential". Isn't that a little odd?

There used to be libre.fm and it looks like there still is. The API was designed to be a drop-in replacement for last.fm. Last time I checked it was missing some stuff. They also have a lasttolibre tool for migrating your data. If last.fm g

I don't know if this is just a coincidence but there's a Morrisons supermarket almost opposite this new store in Ealing. They could wheel the stock over the road in a trolley if they wanted!

Cool, thanks! I had a go at a comparison. This is Spotify ("Very high" and volume normalization disabled), then Tidal ("HiFi") and then yours (CD then Spotify). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1

The Spotify version sounds identical to the tidal "hifi" version (to me). I'm actually pretty curious now what this amazing CD version sounds like! I'm currently on a Tidal free trial but I won't be moving from Spot

This https://open.spotify.com/album/1V5q6IEheMUjOTYJar4f54 ? It sounds fine to me but the exact copy I get might well be different to you if we are in different regions.

I totally agree, the same way many games are. But in the context of saying "x is by far most successful y on the planet" I think we have to stop somewhere. Otherwise an open game like GTA V becomes the most successful game (in ter

Technically you could get a Raspberry Pi at https://www.mythic-beasts.com/order/rpi for £7.25 per month but I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind. It's not exactly a server and it's not going to w

I don't think it's obvious. In terms of player count (which is how I would personally rank success), it is not the most successful by a long way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-played_video_game..

If you do decide to give the pi another chance, move the root partition to an ssd and avoid the SD card woes. Or, boot from a USB device and have no sd card at all on the Pi 4. Both work well and a cheap option as you probably already habe

As I understand it, the firmware for the majority of MicroSD cards is very limited. The physical size and low price point are likely the reason you don't see these more complex features in consumer cards. Also, if I recall, there'

That's interesting about the old blog post, I think we forget what a state things were back then that this was such a big deal. I was there refreshing with you but not for hope of open hardware. For me it's a cheap board with fant

It's not, really. People get confused about this: https://mobile.twitter.com/EbenUpton/status/1088440503622909... I've personally no problem with them protecting their investment this way.

Are there any nicer interfaces for gitweb? The basic functionality (just browsing a repo) is perfect but it's not the prettiest. Edit: this looks like what I mean, just so happens to be github style but that's not a requirement!

If it's just you using it, what additions does gitolite bring (genuine question)?

My only question was why did they wait so long? They could have rolled out 321kbps super-duper mode for $14.99 years ago. People would have paid for it.

That's a good reference. I had assumed there were 1000 instruction memory SRAMs in there but of course that'd be impossible considering the leakage numbers and there's actually just 12 x 64KB SRAMs shared by all the cores:
