I'm not sure your read makes sense, but I suspect the most charitable interpretation of their comment would be: "Apple is using the old stock of USB2-only processors for the non-pro phone, and it's common for the non-pro devi

> Apple decided not to make a new processor for an old phone... shock and awe. I am pretty sure that this is a new phone.

JLCPCB is great as long as your components don't get too small. They made a few boards for me with a tiny component that just didn't work. I think they vastly overestimate their minimum trace size.

By releasing, do you mean letting go of it?

The trick is to pick a decent number of orders, but not so many that the manufacturer has run an exit scam and replaced the product with something even lower quality. That's a tough one to get right.

I totally agree that library developers are the ones who _can_ handle complexity, but I have found even some of the top Rust devs are making async mistakes -- either the APIs are not correct from an async perspective, or there are basic bug

I love Rust, but async is a hot mess and you cannot just write async code the same way that you write sync code. I'm getting more convinced that mixing the two is a bad idea, and that Go's approach of making everything sync with a

What am I missing here? You have to manually allow dependabot in the CLAassistant dashboard.

A lot of devices are actually structured that way. Android has an A/B flash system that works kind of like that. It really comes down to how much time and care the developers have in their implementation.

This is far more sophisticated than the protocol I was working with, cool! In my design I needed to do the a similar thing -- physically switch the USB2.0 lines between USB and raw serial. Using the pico for a USB serial gadget is smart. I

Does the m1/m2 expose a serial port on the USB-C connector? I haven't seen that outside of mobile phones that require special debugging jigs (most requiring a secret resistor values between various pins to turn it on). More info i

I wouldn't put trains and smooth in a single sentence. The signals required a lot of patience to learn and I'm not entirely sure I still understand them. They are by far one of the most painful parts of factorio for me.
