You say that because you don’t realize the benefits:
There’s actually a lot more reasons but that’s probably enough for now 😁
I’d love to see more adoption of… I2C!
Bazillions of motherboards and SBCs support I2C and many have the ability to use it via GPIO pins or even have connectors just for I2C devices (e.g. QWIIC). Yet there’s very little in the way of things you can buy and plug in. It feels like such a waste!
There’s all sorts of neat and useful things we could plug in and make use of if only there were software to use it. For example, cheap color sensors, nifty gesture sensors, time-of-flight sensors, light sensors, and more.
There’s lmsensors
which knows I2C and can magically understand zillions of temperature sensors and PWM things (e.g. fan control). We need something like that for all those cool devices and chips that speak I2C.
With big freedom come big cursors. Every click is a boom of libration!
This information has left me plussed
This is caused by your root controller’s limited bandwidth and it’s inability to handle that many 3.0 devices at the same time. Some of the newer motherboards with USB C PD have controllers in them that can do a lot more.
It’s basically a hack on part of the company that made the root controller IC. They know they only have enough internal bandwidth to support 16 USB 3.0 devices so they intentionally bork things when you plug in more than that since their Transaction Translator (TT) can’t handle more and they were too lazy to bother implementing the ability to share 2.0 and 3.0 properly.
I’m guessing the decision went something like this…
“We have enough bandwidth for 16 3.0 devices… What do we do if someone plugs in more than that?” “Only a few people will ever have that many! We don’t have the budget to handle every tiny little use case! Just ship it.”
So it’s not Linux fault in this case. Or at least, if it is (a problem with the driver) it’s because of some proprietary bullshit that the driver requires to function properly 🤷
Docker containers aren’t running in a virtual machine. They’re running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail… It’s just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.
This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there’s no hardware to emulate.
No, call it Highland and have it suck the life energy out of the people it passes over (to keep it fueled and in the sky). People that live there can be called, “Highlanders” 👍
big tech’s gonna abuse it.
Actually, it’s everyone that’s going to abuse it. Big tech wants to be the exclusive “AI provider” for everyday people’s AI needs and desires but the reality is that the tech isn’t that easy to keep secret/proprietary because most of the innovations pushing AI forward come from individuals fooling around with the technology and academia. Not from big tech R&D (which lately seems to all be spent trying to improve business processes).
Big tech is spending billions on hardware and entire data centers just to do AI stuff with the expectation that it’ll give them a competitive advantage but the truth is that it’ll be the small companies and individuals that end up taking advantage of AI in ways that actually improve things for everyday people and/or make real money.
My guess is that they’re betting on acquisitions of companies using their AI processing power 🤷. Either that or it’s just wishful thinking.
Well, no, actually: The AI image model will generate bad fingers constantly it’s just become easier to fix via a secondary step (e.g. img2img) or you just tell it to generate 50 images and just pick the ones that don’t have messed up fingers 🤷
What if I make my own videos with actors and/or voices are entirely imaginary? I don’t have the resources to hire a videographer let alone an actor but I can write a script and use AI (and program/script things).
If I make something cool it’d be sad if no one watched it just because it didn’t use real human actors and voices.
I hear even the cows run Linux. They only peer into Windows from time to time.
As far as I know, black magic 🤷
I want more cores and more importantly, more ADC pins. Also, being able to use more PIOs simultaneously would be fantastic.
Furthermore I want one of those matrix modules aka “AI accelerators” to play with 😁
Great! Now we just need an announcement about the successor to the RP2040…
It’s fine as long as you turn it back on again afterwards. It’s a standard troubleshooting procedure.
May they adopt AI and lose their fan base.
Nah. They’ll just worship their new AI overlords. It’s the next evolution of the cargo cult.
I tried using the SharePoint Plugin for TC, but it requires the freaking pope to allow my loggin.
“The power of Microsoft compels you!”
“The power of Microsoft compels you!”
“The power of Microsoft compels you!”
“Please just let me in FFS!”

SharePoint
Oh come on! Everyone knows that SharePoint’s only reason for existing is to act as a black hole for Microsoft Office documents. They go in but they never come out. Nothing intelligent can escape!
Just use Gentoo. Do it from scratch on the command line without the GUI installer like a pro 👍
At the very least you’ll learn how everything works at a deeper level.
