It would probably not run on this potato directly, but on an accelerator (be it in-SoC or a separate thing like a Google Coral). The management and control of a Coral needs to happen on a CPU somewhere, but the actual work doesn't invo

I think that's only for ARM's own GPU IP, not for the VOP (it's more of a LCD driver than an actual GPU -- I'd compare the VOP to say, GameBoy-color level of graphics capabilities, which is cool but not even close to a b

No, it's DOA. Embeddable components need support too. As do OEMs and prototyping scenarios. It is presented as a viable commercial product, but it actually is an old SoC with no ecosystem. If anything, it teaches people not to use this

You're actually answering your own question here ;-) Because a SoC with limited CPU-core resources can't do everything in software, the chip contains many system components (hence System-on-Chip or System-on-a-Chip) that handle th

As usual, looks good on papier but no ecosystem and the current stack that it comes with is dead on arrival. Boards need to come with mainstream distro support or with an ecosystem (or both), otherwise it will just die. And with internet co

It's dead on arrival; currently runs Debian 10 with custom patches and binary blobs. It's an RK3308 so not entirely impossible to run on a normal distro, but you'd have to bring your own firmware and device tree etc.

What leads you to believe that people who do not want to work are desirable to have in the workplace? UBI also doesn't give you wealth, it gives you basics, and overal that's much cheaper than dragging down an entire team or depar

Same here. Employers can't even look inside user's mailboxes because there is no guarantee that it doesn't contain anything personal. Even if the company has a rule that you're not allowed to use it for personal things,

So from a developer perspective (in the OCI ecosystem), it's perhaps 10% new GUI stuff, and then 10% of what Docker does, and Docker doesn't even do its own stuff all that well. Unless someone really wants that GUI stuff (as in, p

So in essence it's getting no traction, it's just force-fed (which doesn't require traction) and only if you are targeting the windows store. This is the same pattern as they followed with all the other attempts Microsoft mad

Ah, you are right. I thought it mostly relied on Hyper-V isolation (a bit like core isolation) and the process grouping was mostly a bonus inside the Hyper-V context, but apparently this works without Hyper-V as well so it would make sense

That's the problem, the Job API is not cgroups and cannot be used as cgroups. NT also had multiple personalities or subsystems before KVM or QEMU were even thought of, yet here we are, a useless feature with no traction and no ecosyste

I think they are getting bit by their wishes to make it both perfect and backwards compatible at the same time. Even a janky port of RPM or DPKG or OCI with cgroups would have been a better way to move forward. But because MS doesn't h

It's pretty cool. But note that from an end-user perspective you're getting a Flir Lepton 3.5 thermal camera for $522.99. A Flir TG165-X does mostly the same stuff for a much lower price (and half the horizontal and vertical resol

On a non-google level just being aware of code sitting around costing resources is pretty important. Often, tests and maintenance are just ignored or not calculated in as cost (be it time, money, effort or otherwise). It is almost in the sa

There are many ways to do this. Asterisk and a rented VoIP line, a hosted PBX service you just rent and transfer your line to, a 'Web 2.0' variation of the same (like Twilio), or even a programmable desk phone.

It doesn't have to be new, but adding more housing generally requires you to build buildings, and when a building is built where there used to be no building, it is generally referred to as new construction and thus new (or newly added
