Given proximity to "real" fedora, is this any good with USB-C dock (and external keyboard, mouse, and monitor)? Stretch question - any apps that work well between both "desktop" i.e. dock and "phone", i.e. dock

> small number of metal mask layers to implement your design on a much smaller/faster sea-of-gates style ASIC Ah, yes. The ULA. Whatever happened to those? Used to be a very promising way for small-(ish)-scale chip manufacturing. h

Don't forget software costs. Raspberry Pi foundation is known for excellent software and Pico seems to be intended that way too. And that's money well spent, I think. If I'm a hobbyist and am planning on using a grand total o

While on the topic of third-party cookies - is there any legitimate use for those at all (outside of semi-covert user tracking)? I understand how first-party cookies are useful - you take a stateless protocol (HTTP) and make it aware of &qu

Great video. And thank you so much for your continuing work measuring power consumption! So, this board takes 90mA in full-speed run mode. That's not better than Raspberry Pi Zero (despite pico having 2000 times less RAM, and 10-20 tim

RP2040's PIO is more like TI's [PRU] than ESP32's FSM ULP. All 3 are specialized "secondary" processor cores, but PIO & PRU are fast (faster than main CPU for bit-banged IO), where ULP is much slower (but low-po

First-generation ESP32 has an exceptionally weird low-power core. Retroactively, espressif called this "FSM ULP". For example, among other weirdness, this core has only one way to write memory that: - writes only 32-bit words; - o

Why indeed. Is that because bookmarks are too clumsy to use, and don't save your scroll position and other user input?

> Chrome will issue an ominous warning on every launch. That's google's shtick. They do the same if you unlock bootloader on your android phone. Black nag screen with scary text on every reboot.

> deal with the case of an offline client and still offer forward secrecy. Wasn't that addressed by OMEMO, the OTR "replacement" protocol?

What you are describing is a perfectly typical (and expected) behavior for a user of a commercially-licensed library/server software. Many developers/admins use both FOSS and COTS, and feel the same low-effort interaction with ups

SIM/operator locks have been already rare (in Europe) for a while, and that's great! But there are Android phones that come with bootloader/OS lock, which often means old device is stuck with some ancient OS version (and some

Wow. Indeed. Just dug up a wired mouse out of a junk box, and sure enough - Genius logo embossed on the lower side of the connector.

I'd be really curious to understand the origin of this "USB required 3 tries to plug in" thing. It seem this is something everybody agrees with nowadays, but was it always like that? After all, USB-A plug has a prominent logo

Do GNU Units handle units with implicit parameters? For example, 1500 mAh (milliamp∗hours) could be converted to 5.55 Wh (watt∗hours), or 19.98 kJ in SI units, in the context of a 3.7-volt battery. Naive approach fails: $ units "15

OP says "it takes 16 seconds to refresh the screen". At 0.0625 FPS, SPI bandwidth [0] is plenty fast with some to spare. [0] https://www.microchip.com/forums/m770156.aspx
