There are recent cars like that, you just can't buy them in places like the US or Europe because they're deathtraps. The Tata Nano was produced until 2018 and cost about 3000USD. BYD makes a tiny electric car (e1) for about 9000US

The Pi's hardware i2c has buggy silicon and does not handle clock stretching properly. There's also a kernel driver to bitbang i2c over the GPIO pins and clock stretching does work properly with that.

OO isn't completely dead, the Apache foundation is still maintaining it. It's more like it's on life support. But it is definitely true that LO development is far far more active and there's not much point in using OO

I ran a few cheap box fans with filters directly over them for several years and none of them failed, I have heard this claim a lot but it seems overstated. The triangle setup will significantly increase the airflow and thus the effective

I remember learning in my college algorithms class that radix sort is 'slow in practice' because it's 'not cache friendly' then when we had a sorting speed competition project the fastest entry was a radix sort.

Sandisk released a whitepaper on their SD wear leveling in 2003, not sure if it's changed significantly since then or not: https://web.archive.org/web/20150326122100/http://ugweb.cs.u... With modern

Pumped hydro is by far the most commonly used utility-scale energy storage in use today. Efficiency is in the range of 70-80% so it's a lot better than compressed air in that regard, the main downside is that you just need a really lar

Non-backlit LCDs already have pretty low idle power though. Normal digital watches last about a decade on a battery and smartwatches like the Amazfit Bip last about a month on a charge with the screen always on (and bluetooth, heart rate mo

Microsoft at least makes a 3:2 AMD laptop, hopefully they'll update it with these chips. Too bad their hardware is generally not good at running Linux.

They announced these chips 2 days ago, there's still plenty of time for nicer laptops to get announced. Hopefully the Matebook D gets updated with these at least.

The non-free binary is the DRM implementation. The bug also mentions openh264 but it's BSD licensed so I'm confused as to why anyone considers it non-free.

Those places have no cell service because nobody lives there, not the other way around. The number of people who would gladly live in the middle of nowhere if only there was internet available is miniscule and basically consists entirely of

There already is sort of a black market money laundering machine around steam licenses. It basically goes like: buy steam keys (not buying the game directly on steam, but a redeemable key from some other vendor) using stolen credit cards, r

There are still plenty of brand new cars using old school 4 speed autos which are significantly worse for efficiency than a manual.

The really fun part was when they launched the first 64 bit Atom CPUs (Bay Trail) and then a bunch of them got shipped with only 32 bit UEFI and cannot boot in 64 bit mode.

100 hours a week at federal minimum wage is less than $38k. These people are not making anything remotely close to minimum wage.

Browser vendors have spent the past several decades trying to fix those weaknesses and haven't, it seems like a very strong indication that it is not exactly an easy thing to do.

Most of them let you download the firmware updates on a computer and load them on a USB flash drive. That's how I've updated my Samsung that I never connect to the network.

NVIDIA on Wayland is still ridiculously broken and NVIDIA has zero desire to fix it. The "solution" is to continue using Xorg.

The Pi 3 has the same thermal throttling issue as the 4, and the 4's performance under throttled conditions is much higher. Though IMO even calling it an issue is overblown, most phones and laptops cannot maintain their peak clocks und

There have been plenty of drastic improvements in cars in the past 20 years, but I'm not convinced that reliability is one of them. Compared to 1969, definitely. Quality back then was awful . But there were plenty of very reliable car

Lineage has never been very fast to release new Android versions. If Android 10 was out by now it would have been the fastest turnaround from AOSP release they've ever done.

Phoronix tests compiling the upstream default config which is pretty barebones. A normal kernel build for a desktop machine will take much longer because there are more modules enabled.
