anyone know of any good resources, tutorials, books, etc. for putting the PRUs to good use? those seem to be the defining feature that separates the BBB from the other SBCs.

Considering what this team is doing, creating, and providing to everyone free of charge-- especially keeping in mind the scale of it, and the magnitude of it's impact on the entire Internet-- I'd say pay them more than $200k. They

I recently found this service: https://reep.io which, I believe, uses WebRTC to directly transfer between 2 browsers (they claim that after the initial 'handshake' they are out of the equation). I'm curious how it

It's really super easy. If you're creating the bootable USB stick on a Windows machine, use RUFUS ( https://rufus.akeo.ie/ ). It's about as straight-forward and noob-friendly as it gets. A single window, opti

Oh cool! I'm glad you kept that information & data logged and separated out. I can see that being incredibly useful and a great starting point for anyone looking to create some sort of script like that. I wish I had the time, it so

I'd like to see an option to download just the PiBakery stuff, for those users who already have a Raspbian ISO. Although I do see why Raspbian is included with it (project is geared more towards non-technical users) - it would still be

Not a typical recommendation, but they actually created a not half-bad Television series out of the story. From everything I've read on the subject, the first season of the show actually does stay pretty close to how things actually we

I believe that's the idea , yes. However it's very easy to see that it doesn't actually work that way. Unseating an incumbent candidate in local governments is damn near impossible, barring "scandals" or obvious ex

You guys & gals do such good work over there @ archive.org and don't get nearly enough credit. Thank you to the entire team, I have to imagine that it's one hell of an effort to do all the stuff that goes on at The Internet Ar

Wow, people were still actively using Newtons? AND spending money in it's ecosystem? Well, will wonders never cease. That's incredible. I guess some folks stick with the things they like when they find them. More power to them!

Are there really around 600 people all working on Firefox? If so, why in bloody hell has it taken them so long to make it multi-process? There wasn't even a 64 bit [Windows] version until relatively recently... what the fuck are they d

I've enjoyed the discussion we've had here and in the other thread as well- and I mean no disrespect, but I take it that you're not used to the streets (if i've missed the mark, i apologize). It sounds like that world is

Those things (except legality, because that's not stopping anyone) can be part of the problem, sure but it's a lot more than that. It's such a fragile house of cards you're describing with that situation and I don't

I see. I didn't know that, that's interesting. Question you may be able to answer: The naloxone/Narcan sticks that EMTs and some police have, they also pass them out at needle exchanges, etc. is that why are those applied in

I mean the guys who are successful you mentioned, i assume they have nice jobs, families, maybe children -- the good stuff. Once shit hits the fan and they get a taste of dopesickness they will ignore all of that, the drug becomes priority

Couldn't the opposite be said as well? Isn't being completely bound by ANY substance at all, be it air or narcotics or whatever, inherently a negative? Reliance on oxygen makes the whole space thing difficult, chained to opiates m

Those logistics are not as simple as it may seem. 2 bags of dope/pills/caps/doses a day becomes 3, 4, 6, 8 twice a day + 9 on Sundays. Happens to everyone given a long enough usage period. There's that proverbial slipper

"a fixed-dose combination of oxycodone and naloxone" That sounds similar to Suboxone, just with OxyCodone instead of Buprenorphine (i think they also make bup. minus the naloxone under the brand name Subutex). The naloxone mixture

I wholeheartedly agree with adding the (A)rts into STE(A)M. He's hit the nail on the head there -- I believe we all should encourage creative thinking to go along hand-in-hand with critical thinking. That said, he's way off base w

Somebody needs to get a few of these to Ben Heckendorn (Ben Heck @ Newark a.k.a. element14's Youtube channel), as well as a tutorial on designing them and let him run with it. There's some incredible things to be made from these -
