Am I the only one who thinks the price of this is absurd? 9k for an 8x8 box?!

"hurt by a trade war between the largest chip producer, the U.S., and the largest consumer, China" This sentence confuses me. Seems like they have it backwards. Can someone clear this up?

Radio + Discogs. Find an artist you like, look up the label they were on and see who else was putting out records around that time. Find a dj or radio station you like and find the tracklists. Music selections curated by humans have far sur

I just received my light phone and while I haven't used it much yet I'm mostly a fan. I used the Punkt MP01 for a while and it's still pretty much my favorite phone ever. We'll see how I feel about the E-ink display on t

Don't forget the part where the ratings agencies systematically failed to accurately assess the riskiness of the MBSs because they didn't want to piss off their customers (the banks / their mortgage issuance wings).

Yeah and even the 'experts' can't often see the cliff until they've fallen off it.

Think of how much better the world would be if half the money that went to funding this bs just went straight to refugees.

For people who are curious about FPGAs looking to dip their toes in, I’d highly recommend taking a look at cocotb https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb It’s kind of similar to verilator, in that it lets you write test bench

Completely agree. I want old school dials with needles on a regular dash and zero screens anywhere in my car. I just want the propulsion of the car to be decoupled from burning fossil fuels. All the other dumb tech can go. The fact that par

I justified it to myself by knowing that I'd be saving like $30-40 a month by not paying for data. Idk where you're located, but there's a provider called Ting: https://ting.com/ that charges you by usage, so

Ah, I didn't know they did that for the 02, pretty sure the 01 ran some custom non-android OS.

Nothing compares to the Punkt MP01 and MP02 IMO. I've had the MP01 for years and it's fantastic, the only issue has been with service and I imagine that would be resolved with the MP02 and 4g. https://www.punkt.ch/

Are these trainings worth the cost? Has anybody reading this done them / would be able to provide feedback? Also seconding the need to understand clock domains and metastability, timing constraints, etc.

Reforestation. Stop eating meat. Stop burning fossil fuels. Use less energy unless your energy is 100% "green". Overthrow capitalism.

Not super concerned with security of my texts or calls personally. Obviously it would be nice to have those covered, but the whole point of a dumbphone to me is to use it less. I want it to do as little as possible and do it well enough to

I justified it to myself mentally by thinking of the savings of not paying for a smartphone's data plan. I pay about $20 a month for service vs paying around $60 a month for a smartphone with data. Obviously this doesn't change th

Has anybody mentioned the Punkt MP-01? https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp01-mobile-phone/ I've had it for 2-3 years now and it's been pretty great. Granted service can be kinda spotty because it&#x
