Yeah, grab the source and get to work! :) Honestly, what do you think running this on a rbp would accomplish for you? It's an RTOS, not a desktop operating system.

The problem is that Apple really has set a new benchmark: 18 hours. It's insane getting on a 6 hour flight with 50% battery and not being worried at all.

The former is not true, and the latter is kinda pointless when you're comparing it to a 10+ year old computer.

It's really only a couple of hours by car or truck, on well paved streets. Gerlach is the small town on the edge of the park, they have at least places to stage rescue/supply events.

What's the transit story? The commute from Solano to the Bay is already miserable. While this seeks to keep jobs in Solano, people are going to want/need to get to SF. There's already train lines, but they're slow and un

One thing I was never clear on is: does boot0, boot1 happen on power button? Or on power? I can't think of any other way a wii remote button press would start the system.

I have honestly given up on Windows. It has extremely strong fundamentals, but they seem determined to mine their users for money instead of investing in a platform. I find what's happening in Apple world to be dire, but at least they

Unfortunately, their model isn't resistant to these requests as it should be. You either build your model to be resistant to a data request (user controlled keys that never leave the device), or you don't even come to the table.

I didn't say authority, and I didn't say trust blindly. I just said I'd trust someone with baseline qualifications over a random (presumably unqualified) person. lmao

Yes. Brute forcing it takes at most a few seconds on modern consumer hardware. Probably under a second, tbh.

The problem they have, of course, is not that cancel culture exists. It's that the center of force of "cancellation" went from the right to the left. The thing they used to great effect against queer people, anti-religious pe

It's just a proposal. What's more likely is that it's the framework for a 20 or 50 year plan to slowly unify electric grids.
