You know, I think you're right. I set up Void Linux on my desktop a couple of years ago, using the plainest base image. I chose that path because ZFS is important to me, and systemd is ugly to me. I determined that this minimal start

I guess we can just keep ordering pre-stuffed PCBs from JLCPCB. This way, the pollution involved in the various processes still exists, but it's hidden from view behind a box of minty-new circuit boards delivered to the doorstep. Or,

As far as I can tell, every president in the US since the Clinton administration has been in favor of nuclear power. Is there something important that I am missing?

This is the kind of quality I want and expect from a website called Hacker News. It's way more fun to see a real solution for a problem than it is to see someone complain that the cheapest available product is lacking in finesse. Good

Maybe? What follows is just my own dumb anecdotes. For a long time, I sometimes had issues . I'd keep anti-diarrhea pills in stock at home. I kept some in the car. I even had some in blister packs my wallet (they'd get smashe

I came across a group of racks in the IT room in a (US) factory once that had 208v on their standard NEMA 5-15R sockets. Their global-market IT stuff didn't care at all. But some of the US-market audio stuff I was integrating came wit

Yeah, they got cheap. They either got cheap with the BOM, or they got cheap with the QC and never tested it with USB C power sources, or they got cheap with the spec and it's working as-designed. It just takes a couple of insignifican

That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that a device sold anywhere in the world can't have a CE mark -- that's not it, at all. I'm also not saying that a person or company can't seek to get a CE mark

I'm astounded to hear that you consider this your first hardware project. That is, to be clear, rather fucking amazing. At first, I wanted to ask why all that work is done locally instead of just controlling a mixer over the network.

I'd like to reiterate that a CE mark means nothing to us here. If my house burns down and a widget with only a CE mark is blamed as the source, my insurance company will consider that to be the equivalent of it having no marking at all

It doesn't take PD negotiation to get 5v, 3A from a compliant source. A 5.1k resistor or two (quantity depends on placement in the overall circuit) is sufficient. This may be a matter of semantics, but I can't bring myself to cal

Oh, it's fine. The lack of clarity is in keeping with the USB C connector itself, which may supply or accept power at various rates or not at all, may be fast or slow, may provide or accept video or not, and may even provide an interpr

Right, I'm not sure either. Hence the question. :) Checksums are great for helping to validate data integrity. And data integrity can be related to security. But over the last 25 years or so, I've grown to become pretty averse

Dedicated test gear is different echelon. We've got some crazy-expensive RF test gear where I work that cost us way more than my house. That's an awesome corner of the world, with a combination of robust-but-fickle at every corn

Nice! This particular box also has RS-232, ssh (with almost zero auth), and telnet as a control plane, by default. Any of that only gets used to tweak/report various things with a rather basic human-readiable protocol. (It has built-

My audio interface is a Linux computer with FPGAs inside (that actually get field-programmed), with two gigabit Ethernet jacks that each talk to different parts of the machine. But I don't think anyone here would care about that. It&#

We don't place any value on the CE mark in the States. A lot of consumer electronics need to be FCC compliant, which involves a process of proving that the device doesn't emit too much of the wrong EMI/RFI in the wrong places

It saves on rewiring stuff. Maybe there's only one person talking today. Maybe they're using PC A, or perhaps they're using PC B instead. Or maybe there's two people in the room, each on different channels altogether.

I wonder if the cutoff date is the result of so many people posting about the date over time and poisoning the data. "Dead cutoff date theory," perhaps. Whatever it is, the cutoff date reporting discrepancy isn't new. Back

Oh, it's fine. I mean, my PSP from <20 years ago doesn't support WPA2 or 3 and therefore can't talk to my home wifi unless I made a hole for it. But as we all know, Italian-made boutique home appliances are different. The

I've been using the same Anker charger brick since 2014. It was $13.99, delivered. It has two USB A ports. It has always charged everything at a good rate, regardless of brand, model, or age. It's reasonably-compact, the prongs

So it needs barcodes to be read? If the lulz are the point, then: Just build hide the thing in the floor-cleaning robot. Include a decent camera (they're very cheap) to catch the barcodes. If the comms last long enough as the machine

I don't mind Radio Management, per se. It's a nice idea. It just feels broken and internally-disjointed when it isn't falling flat on its face. We almost got into bits of the P25 side to help service $giant_government_entit

What was the reason 20 years ago? (I know, I know. That question might be a bit too loaded. I'm really very sorry. No, there's no need that; I'll see myself out.)
