It looks like OpenIPC is a replacement firmware. I would assume this means (as long as you trust the OpenIPC authors) that you don't have to firewall them off from the Internet. You ordinarily only have to do that for the sketchy firmw

Indeed, but patent infringement too. Although the Cotton Gin was patented, Eli Whitney famously was unable to enjoy those protections. Imitations sprung up all around.

It's not just the bright colors. The color of food greatly influences our perception of it. My grandmother was a caterer for many years, and she would tell me that the main difference between a chocolate cake and a vanilla one, is that

This is true with more "modern" setups. I tried rustdesk with Wayland. It somewhat works, but you have to be present at the "remote" PC to click a button allowing the sharing. I periodically retry Wayland, and it does se

I expect that plenty of these apps are or will be mining these photos for data about their users. I know the cat is already out of the bag as far as online tracking goes, but until now, tracking every meal & snack someone eats has been

This article is not about diabetes; it is about AI. Call me a skeptic, but I cannot believe that AI will be an effective defense against an onslaught of unhealthy foods. Even if this AI could provide a useful service, I am sure there would

A claim that I find similarly frustrating is that English only has one word for love, whereas there are several other (often ancient) languages that have scores of words for love. If you want the verb "love", you can cherish, ador

This thread is more interesting to me than the article itself. I am the complete opposite. I always have a pen in my pocket along with a really small (2"x3") notebook, and I absolutely use it all the time. Personally, I find pen a

There is an important case for comments that neither of them touched on. Sometimes you are dealing with bugs or counterintuitive processes beyond your control. For example, I am writing some driver software for a USB device right now. It is

I remember coaster brakes fondly. As an American kid, all of my bikes had them. What was great about them was that you can engage them so suddenly and forcefully that you instantly lock the rear wheel. If you did that on wet asphalt at high

Actually, you can. If you run: foo 2>&1 >&- | grep ... then you will grep only the stderr. The stdout will be discarded. Alternatively, if you only want to grep to see the stderr, but you still want to see stdout, you

It generally isn't possible for grep to "slurp up" the error output because stderr does not get passed through pipes (by default). This is shell behavior and grep cannot do anything about it. As a side note, some shells have

That seems a very cynical view, and it doesn't ring true to me. Anecdotally, I know of multiple business that were built up by one person, and then practically gifted to the employees. Some people really care about the business, custom

I'd say that isn't true. The Linux version number is somewhat arbitrary, and does not denote incompatibility. And from the view of userspace, the Linux ABI is rather backwards compatible. Also, WSL1 and some BSDs are examples of L
