>The main devs have given up trying to debug it. Well, now you have my interest! Is this a talent gap or fatigue in the organization? Sounds like a meaty challenge.

Hear hear. I've explored the old USSR via youtubers like bald and bankrupt and various urban explorer channels (and of course, the amazing HBO/Sky show, chernobyl) but I would love something as digestible based on older computing

Well, this just listed out my concerns pretty well and I spent the last hour installing this on my devices. Specifically, how do I explain to a fortune 500 IT department how this is secure in a few simple sentences?

Love the write up. OSHPark PCBs - wondering how many revisions it took to get that keyboard layout working! I'd love an 8bit era keyboard and case that you can plug your own PCB into - I'm itching to design something from scratch

I am legitimately curious to see if you believe that the PI is suited to actual industrial applications in terms of its reliability (filesystem etc...) and low cost design? Maybe I'm defining industrial as something a lot more PLC base

From experimentation with recent Mercedes and BMW, its encrypted, although I do recall that early X5's were not protected.

I assume it (a) actually functions as a cable that can charge a phone (b) can enumerate on the USB A connection as various types of slave (such as network adapter or storage device) and use this to bridge into the computer (c) enabled conne

@ryanmarsh - any chance of a link for this? in the market and I can't tell the wheat from the chaff on Amazon.

There are a lot of interns working at the company! IDK much about Norway - is that the name for a graduate? I assume the micro itself is not developed by them given the team size - even with 1 guy looking after this, we're looking at a

The fact that the windows and doors were compared against bullets and sledge hammers seems a marketing stunt. The specs for the materials are no doubt from the requirement "make trucks extremely rugged".

As a "coastal techie" (I completely stole this from another thread, but so apt...), I put down 100$ to be part of the ride. Somewhat because I skipped the model S and 3 reservations but also, damn, even to be in the first 10k deli

Oh, I'm sending it back to be looked at. The hat that comes with the picade doesn't have space for a heatsink or fan under it (as the instructions are put together to assemble it) so I'm also suspecting that its early doors f

Having recently built a picade with a Pi4 and ran it in a cool room for around 2 hours, the device kept crashing when playing various emulators. After the final crash, it didn't start up again. Opening up the back was like opening the

Yubikey's use the standard keyboard USB driver so they should be hot pluggable on any linux system that is configured to enable hotplug.

Satire or not, I spent all day debugging very similar FCM issues, but under React Native. What looks like rate limiting can also be attributable to a wonky application lifecycle integration between RN/Android. What times we live in!

Guilty as charged. A program that did a <delay,print "RESET",delay> was enough (with a bit of execution timing) to show the examiner on the way into the hall that all was good. The attention to detail really got to me howeve

The Pi people are good folk - all that is needed is to run the USB 3 conformance tests and report back the results (both as USB PD sink and source). Better to know the knowns than have a enthusiastic fan base find them and we get into discu

I believe fast boot relies on having a stable, on PCB storage device (eMMC or NAND) to ensure that the recovery method doesn't have any opportunity to get wiped / trashed. Using an SDCard doesn't ensure this and thus somethin

by mrlambchop 7y ago
A major product challenge of eMMC in a design is the requirement to supply a means of flashing data onto the storage device when the CPU can't boot from the eMMC (or the disk is corrupted). The SDCard solves this problem fairly well (a

by mrlambchop 7y ago
Its an incorrect statement - I think James on the Pi forum was confusing NAND vs eMMC. eMMC has (with exception of some high grade SDCards) better write cycles and is considerably more durable than the average SDCard.

IIRC, there was a giant ruby backend and a web app that were both deployed in unison - made for a super janky app experience when it would require you to refresh the mobile app if a deploy occurred whilst you were in the middle of booking a

A totally naive point of view, but it would be awesome if some players in the maker space that are profitable (Adafruit, R-Pi, Arduino etc..) could band together and form a non-profit to keep this effort going. The maker community is genera

The HVS was a cool design - the only real issue if I recall was its limited line buffers meaning it was hard to determine what could be composited in real time, so we ended up always rendering to a triple buffer. It also did some amazing sc

I checked out Eric's work just - he's doing an amazing job! Much more thought put into the subject (security for GLSL being a huge topic on its own). The lack of MMU in the VC4 architecture is a huge pain point that probably sucks

Woah - a huge flash to the past when I read this. I ported Wayland to VideoCore4 (the multimedia engine in first Pi chip) back in 2011 - it was part of the Meltemi Nokia project that got cancelled the follow year - shame as it was pretty co
