Honestly, I don't recommend Flutter for mobile either. I've heard it joking referred to as "the other F-word" because of the performance and compatibility issues it leads to.

The U.S. Digital Service (USDS) has a number of open source repos: https://github.com/usds I don't think it's everything they work on, but it's a step in the right direction.

I have a PC connected to the TV in my living room with an annoyingly bright blue power light. Even worse, it blinks when the PC is asleep. I ended up taking it apart and wiring in a 470k ohm resistor and three 2.2uf electrolytic capacitors

As far as IoT goes, I too am relatively happy with my hue bulbs. In particular I appreciate the fact that they still work if my internet goes down. However, if I was starting from scratch today, I'd probably just install dimmer switche

I've read that AMD's 7040-series mobile CPUs will have an "FPGA-based AI engine developed by Xilinx" [1] - I'm wondering how programmable that will be. I know there's been some performance difficulties emulat

It looks like the Fakespot add-on is NOT one of the ~20 approved add-ons in Firefox for Android. It'd be funny if it wasn't so frustrating.

I've read that unions used to build affordable housing with the union members retirement funds, but a law was passed (maybe Taft–Hartley?) that said they had to focus on returns only, rather than consider any other benefits. So, unions

I like that, but I'd also like info included for chips that have an iGPU. Intel's G1/G3/G7 was better than nothing, so of course they killed it after a generation or two.

Yeah, fair enough. I'm not going to fault anyone who doesn't take the same stance that I do. It's a bit easier for me partially just because I don't have all that much time to game anyways. I think I might average 1 game

I have some fond memories of Nintendo games from my childhood, but I've basically sworn them off as an adult, due specifically to these kinds of abusive behaviors. I'd kind of like to play Breath of the wild, or some of the newer

> ...located over halfway across the universe! Does that mean halfway across the known universe, or is it just a figure of speech for "a really long way away"? (Or is my assumption that the universe is infinite wrong?)

Oh wow, it's actually in stock on the official website! https://shop.flipperzero.one/ I've kinda wanted one for a while, but the 3-4 times I've looked in the past, it was always sold out. And it was always li

Adding one more voice to the chorus: I got my current job from posting in the who wants to be hired thread. (It was about 3.5 years ago in my case, but presumably it still works today.)

I love that RISC-V is starting to take off! I'm curious about standardization of the rest of the system - the way x86 operating systems more or less work on any x86 machine, whereas ARM seems to basically require a device-specific OS i

I use a Nest thermostat with a 2-stage ground sourced heat pump (a.k.a. geothermal) that also has backup resistive heating. It works perfectly fine. It will run a single stage most of the time, or both stages if it's trying to change t

FWIW, modern heat pumps can exceed 400% efficiency, so the math is starting to work out in their favor even for fossil fuels burned at a power plant.

I'm using Firefox on a mid-range Android phone and it seems to behave fine. Maybe reboot your computer and see if the site is less laggy?

A lot of newer cheap NMVe SSDs don't have DRAM, but instead they use the HMB (Host Memory Buffer) feature, which essentially allows it to use a small amount of your system RAM (maybe 64mb). None of this applies to SATA SSDs, which is p

I could be wrong, but my reading of the post was that the Wi-Fi version has two MCUs - the main RA4M1, and the S3 WiFi module. So, if you turn off wi-fi, they should be effectively the same board.
