It's a vast and complex topic. I once stumbled on the following presentation from ARM: https://community.arm.com/developer/research/b/articles/post... The first part covers EUV, which is key to a

You can make Display Link (DL) work with Linux, there are drivers from the vendor and an adaptation script for Debian based distros [1] (and variants for others IIRC). You may have to fiddle with the configuration to avoid issues like minor

It's not that simple. A profile is generated for a specific, unique eSIM chip. You cannot install nor use a profile on another eSIM. The target device is tracked. That gives some traceability and security. Then there are two variants o

Yes and no. Yes, an eSIM can contain several profiles from different operators. But only one profile is active at a time. There is typically a default bootstrap profile, to provide just enough connectivity to get started and choose your act

No difference, because there is still a physical component ;) Where a normal SIM card is removable, with an eSIM the chip is soldered on the device. But there is still the same secure chip as in a removable SIM card really, it just takes a

There is money for small companies already, with seed funds, business angels and regional funds. It's after that it's getting harder, so it makes sense to me to focus on the scaling part.

Can you call them entrepreneurs if they want to be hired by a large player? That entrepreneur leave France is almost a meme, and I know it happens and have some friends among them, but not everyone leave either. I have the chance to regular

The English "engineer" is split into three in French: 1) technicien, 2) technicien supérieur and 3) ingénieur. DUT is for techniciens, BTS is for techniciens supérieurs. Ingénieur can come from university, but most come from a sid

I work in a French start-up with a lot of grandes écoles engineers, and a good deal tier-1 at that (Telecom ParisTech and Supelec mostly). So let's no over-generalize. There's a culture of risk aversion in France, and it pushes a

Not true, although it's more complicated than in the US. You can't fire someone at will like in the US, you need to justify the decision. Which takes some time and paperwork. Also, it used to be risky as the fired employee could s

I also worked for a US start-up, now in a French one. There's no business school guy in sight, upper management has engineering background. Maybe because the area is very technical? It could be different in the e-business field. In any

I have the same laptop as you. Just install the "tlp" package (The Laptop Project). I'm using Debian but the Arch package should have the same name. You can tweak the settings (/etc/default/tlp on Debian) but o

You're only considering the MAC level size of 64 bytes but there is also the physical layer overhead, which pushes the effective size of a packet to 84 bytes (see [1]) with a 7 bytes preamble, a 1 byte start of frame delimiter and 12 b

Yes, your hand can mask an antenna module (made of several basic antennas, or patches, for beam forming) and make it useless. This is why 5G phone designs have several such antenna modules spread around so that at least one of them should b

Yes, mmWaves are made to be used with small cells and short distances. There's a lot of hype around how short or long the maximum distance. I've heard very bullish estimates of up to 1 km, and more conservative one of ~150m. The t

As in all threads on Debian stable, I see criticisms that stable software is stale / too old. That really misses the point: this is not a bug, it's a feature of stable! Stability doesn't only mean "lack of (big) bugs&quo

Yes, big transitions with desktop environments can lead to glitches for a while too. Theoretically independent parts can be upgraded at different times, but show subtle compatibility bugs not captured in the dependencies. I experienced this

There's a big difference in how their matching works, that made me prefer fzf. It's related to how they deal with spaces. With fzf, and also helm in Emacs, rofi... a space is a separator between matchers, and the order of the matc

Fuzzy down selection (fzf) is the big win. In Emacs that would be Helm of swiper. Instead of local completion (tab tab tab ;) do a global search, and narrow down interactively using fuzzy selection. It's really a different experience,

There is a Debian package in the GNU archive, have you tried it instead? It works fine on Debian Buster so should be ok on a recent Ubuntu I guess (but not tested).

True, but the workflow you describe is not the natural one for Emacs. Emacs has a built-in package called TRAMP [1] for remote work. You don't log into a distant server and open Emacs there, you use Emacs on your local PC and open the

If you want to try again, just install the "tabbar" package (in MELPA, and in most Linux distributions too). Like most things with Emacs if it's not built-in there's likely a package for it. Emacs is kind of like an edit

I'd put it slightly differently, but I guess it is the same idea. There are two major approaches to software development: 1) powerful text editors (vi, Emacs) or 2) IDE. Powerful text editors are universal, but up to now their language
