   > If a military aircraft shows up on that, it's because they want to be seen, for example as a show of force. There were B-52s doing orbits over Kabul during the evacuation with their transponders turned on.

   There is a big push in Europe to replace gas central heating boilers with heat pumps, from before there were any problems with the supply of gas, I think the information available on them will improve quite quickly. My brother has installed

   That is the problem, the sbcl-1.2.11 binary doesn't work at all for me, even after telling gatekeeper to allow the executable and core file. I have suggested on sbcl-devel that the link to the binary should be removed from the Download

    > PineBuds looks like a cool product, but I don't see much value in it over off-the-shelf alternatives. What am I missing? They will be programmable. One suggestion is to modify the frequency response to help with hearing loss.

    There are renewables and nuclear, the artificial market in the UK fixes the wholesale price for electricity generated by them to the price for electricity generated by gas.

    There will be ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 meetings as well as those for national mirror committees like ANSI X3J11, there isn't much point in having a conference outside this standardization process.

    I have a Pinebook, with the same CPU as the PinePhone, it doesn't seem all that slow when running at the highest frequency, would be interested to know what frequency the PinePhone typically runs at.

    The Ethernet expansion card uses a Realtek 2.5Gb/s controller with a USB-C connection to the laptop. This is a fairly new controller that may not have a FreeBSD driver yet.

    What kind of applications are you looking for? I have written applications and desk accessories for original GEM, also did language bindings to it for Lisp.

    My thoughts after the discussion yesterday are that I'm going to open up the case of a PineBook Pro or PinePhone Pro anyway so it isn't a big deal to have to swap the eMMC module to another machine to write it. I can live with not

    I don't think it is GPT generated, seems similar to the kind of stuff on Phoronix that has been editorialized from mailing list posts, which of the legacy hardware mentioned do you feel is incorrect?

    Just from looking at what needed to be done to get the Pine64 PineNote to work with Linux, eInk displays need special drivers and each one is different. There isn't an eInk driver of any kind in NetBSD.
