No.

Not sure if that will help in this particular case, but that looks super neat anyway. I have been planning to build a custom modular synthesizer so I’ll try that out anyway. (Thankfully, it’s Kicad integration is free. Yay!)

Having v-cache on one CCD is not an issue. It seems most of the scheduler issues have been fixed and that was just software. It would be nice to have v-cache on both, but it actually adds more complexity.

Everything else aside, my biggest gripes are with service control. Instead of just “service” they had to invent a new name that was super close to an existing function (systemctl vs sysctl) and reverse the switch order. (service sshd stop vs systemctl stop sshd.service)

Besides that, I absolutely hate that all the service configs are not in a standard location. Well, you get things like sshd.conf which are still in etc, but the systemctl configs are who knows where.

There are more important things to hate on with systemd, but I went for the superficial this time and I absolutely hate service management with systemd now.

Is SPM typically considered continuous production without slowdowns forever, or, is there some unwritten rule about needing to maintain +1000 for a specific amount of time?

I can spike to 700 SPM at times, but it only lasts for a minute or two until a resource or two gets completely sucked dry. (Until I get better production, I just pace my research and buffer enough resources to keep research at 100% for a bit.)

Build a live boot USB for windows: https://monovm.com/blog/how-to-create-a-windows-live-usb/

There is a chance that the exe is just a wrapper for a compressed archive that contains the app to flash the bios and also the image. If the bios actually supports flashing manually, that would be super convenient.

It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.

For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.

However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)

My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It’s less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain’t salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.

Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn’t matter to you, so be it.

What happens is it chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.

Cheap Chinese electronics come with a ton of caveats. There are reasons why you can get $150 dollar drills for $23.

(Just search for any name brand drill on any large online retailer site, if that link doesn’t work.)

Well, it will train it’s AI on everyone else’s posts. Just not your posts.

Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won’t talk about that right now.)

For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

So you are saying that a stuffed cat can work with wood, ceramic and plasterboard? Neat.

When I see my Dr. or when I talk to other engineers?

Any in many ways, that is the way engineers should speak to other engineers when analyzing a problem.

If two or more people can actually share a common goal of finding the best solution, everyone involved should be making sure that no time is wasted chasing poor solutions. This not only takes the ability to be direct to someone else, but it also requires that you can parse what others are telling you.

If someone makes something personal or takes something personal, they need a break. Go take a short walk or something. (Linus is a different sort of creature though. I get it.)

TBH, this is part of the reason I chose my doctor (GP). She is extremely direct when problem solving and has no problems theory-crafting out loud. Sure, we are social to a degree, but we share many of the same professional mannerisms. (We had a short discussion on that topic the other day, actually. I just made her job easier because I give zero fucks about being judged for any of my personal health issues.)

This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.

… to improve efficiency of click farms and to bypass captchas.

Maybe? There are a ton of shitty BT implementations in the wild that will never get patched. This does seem quirky at first glance, but could just as easily affect millions of vehicles, as an example.

If I was so inclined, I would camp out in a busy parking lot with an antenna just to see what I could find.

They are used for most pairing sequences, but we don’t type them in anymore. They are used more to validate that it’s you that are connecting two devices.
