I used Firefox's password manager for a long time but eventually switched to KeePass which is FOSS and not cloud based. It's much better than the browser builtin password managers. I store the .kdbx file in Syncthing (== Dropbox)

BMW is also moving from AGL to Android. But they're only using Android as an OS; the user facing UI isn't going to change. And it's not integrated with Google. That's different from Android Automotive / Volvo where

The AI engines on these chips are derived from the Xilinx AIE / AIE-ML cores. The Xilinx aiecompiler only runs on Linux - which is special because, aside from aiecompiler, basically all of the Xilinx tools work on both Windows and Linu

I have a 32X, as CorrectHorseBat said they're the same device. WiFi is indeed unreliable. I later switched to a Belkin AX3200 (RT3200) which works much better. That Belkin is also sold as a near-identical Linksys model (the color diffe

Yes, the Zynq MPSoCs are widely available on Digikey, Mouser, etc. Both the bare chips as well as dev boards (Avnet ZedBoard, Trenz, and the Xilinx first party dev boards too). Even Versal is available, you can buy a VCK190 (albeit with a l

Lots of Dell monitors support this - probably every single currently-in-production Ultrasharp supports it, and I think some of the lower tier non-Ultrasharps may support it as well. Dell monitors all support DDC, I'm not sure if KVM sw

The point isn't to have more pixels, it's to have more detailed pixels. You use scaling to get whatever display size you want. 4k 27" with 2x scaling is effectively the same size as 1080p 27". But one looks like absolute

An AMD Ryzen APU + RAM soldered onto the motherboard is very similar to what Apple's doing. Afaik, because the memory controller is part of the CPU, the CPU-RAM connection on the consumer chips is entirely passive - just copper traces
