Unless we go the way of Independence Day or Three-Body Problem. At this point though I’d also probably say…

That’s odd. I can’t remember the last time I’ve installed USB drivers on Windows. It either works or it doesn’t (like a 75% chance of it working though).

This board also has soldered memory and uses MicroSD cards and eMMC for storage, both of which are limitations of the processor.

Ah, yeah, hard no from me dog. Can we get one of the new Snapdragons tho? Please?

Did something happen or is this just, “Waaaahhh, China baaaaddd!”? It sounds like they actually had better reason to ban TikTok.

It was either questioned by morons or they used a modified version of the tool. Ask it how it feels today and it will tell you it’s just a program!

I’d be amazed if most of the Pi components weren’t from China but feel free to correct me.

Guess the community for some of these is about to get much bigger. I’m not in the market for an SBC but this is a big negative against the Pi.

Big pharma companies jack up the prices of life saving medicine that’s been affordable for decades and don’t lose a bit of sleep. You bet your ass a hobby electronics company will jack up prices as far as they think they can.

Yeah, I love my teammates but when I leave I’m gonna do like zero “knowledge transfer”. Not my fault you haven’t expanded my team in 5 years or that you keep giving us more and more responsibilities from roles you removed because they were “obsolete” or that you spread us so thin we can’t naturally transfer knowledge as we go.

Vote your conscience while you can. I’m pretty much stuck voting for slightly left of center candidates (in the US) because the opposition is to the right of Kim Jong Un depending on the issue.

For personal projects that’s definitely a good idea. For team projects I like to keep that stuff in the project still so the “experience” of working in the project is mostly consistent.

One of the first things you should do in a repo is add a .gitignore file and make sure there are rules to ignore things like *secret* or *private* etc. Also, I pretty much never use git add . because I don’t like the laziness of it and EVERY TIME one of my coworkers checked in secrets they were using that command.

As someone who practices agile software development I find this baffling. I’ve never started a new project without at least 3 weeks worth of research and requirements gathering (and obviously more as the project rolls on). There are seriously companies out there who are like, “Mmm, I feel like this is gonna be an Electron project. Let’s just lay the groundwork and we’ll flesh out the nitty gritty in a week or so.” 😱

Efficiency at the consumer level is poor, but industry uses more total energy than consumers.

You don’t have to “mine blocks” to have a blockchain. It’s just a continual list of transactions that can’t be modified after the fact. So a hacker couldn’t wipe out your existence from the chain without controlling the majority of the participants (in a consensus algorithm). Not saying it’s an ideal use-case but highlighting that feature. There are many ways to avoid “data wipe” attacks.

I consider Amazon to be only average evil. Now if they did a concert for Nestle…

This is one place where blockchain is actually useful. No one entity is responsible for the integrity of the “ledger”. Of course it wouldn’t be publicly writable so not exactly like the blockchains you normally think of.

Everyone is different. My favorite computer is my 11" netbook because despite being slow it fits in any bag, fits in my side table, so light I can easily carry with one hand and not put undue pressure on my wrists, I can use most books as a lap desk, and I don’t have to clear off as much space on the table (I have two kids so it’s never clear).

Step in the right direction either way. Hopefully this means they’ll be capturing metrics on which parts of the process are the most complicated and improve those areas.

Guys guys! There’s room for all of us to eat our fair share of natural resources and doom the planet together!
