This is why I come to the internet.

This is good to see. The concept of immutable OS and fallback boots is going to be much more common. I think there are similar concepts being explored in postmarketOS such as https…

That really reads like an ad.

Feels like this is a reasonable compromise for them. They can release the source for their machines while still remaining in enough control to allow them to stay in business. It's …

So the argument is, we have manufactured something to create a noxious goop that we would like to inject into the ground at high pressure. Why are people so scared that this is goi…

My understading is that the hackers had a copy of the source code for their app so they had to patch all their outstanding CVE that they where sitting on so the DOJ let them hold b…

They have a post about some of the reasons that the 5 was sustainable. It's not just the repair and modular parts but the whole supply chain. It' rarely gets talked about here as t…

I think there has been a big uptake in things you don't see like embedded or FPGA cores but as a general CPU it's nowhere near as efficient as ARM/x86 right now is my understanding…

Gnome dropped status icon support as they think it's more consistent for the user to have a window for interacting with the application and do notifications via the notifications s…

"Hi we would like to give your child something that we think will lower their intelligence would you sign here please."

I give you the file called ":

They showed a video at the end of their broadcast last night comparing what the raw microphone hears and what comes out of the XMOS chip and you can hear a much clearer voice all t…

Nabu Casa employ one of the Mycroft devs now and i think some of the tech came from that project so it's not all gone :)

I would think so in the end. They talked about the case design being open. The software and firmware are all open already and they said that they really wanted people to be able to…

It's all open and so should be able to work with OpenHAB as well but it would need somebody to either write a firmware that's compatibale with the OpenHAB endpoints or add ESPHome …

I don't think they are that easy to jail break but I may be wrong. I think they wanted to create an open device that people could build from rather than just a hacked up alexa.

That is one of the major things that Home Assistant are trying to fix. They have groups working on most languages and are adding them to their open as they improve. https://www.hom…

This device is just the mic/speaker/wakeword part. It connects to home-assistant to do the decoding and automation. You can test it right now by downloading home-assistant and runn…

Not really sure what the benefit of group buy would be here. Nuba Casa, the company that supports the development of home assistant and developed this product, already has a few pr…

I would imagine this is as much about having the authority delegated to SpaceX who will effectively run the city and so can issue permits and the like for building. Not some desire…

I wonder how much of this was due to the tax and how much about it being in the news a lot at the time. The article seems to suggest this was just 2019 results I wonder how the tre…

It feels like that is the least that is required at the moment. There should be more effort getting our current boiler stock up to a lot closer to it's theoretical COP of 1. At lea…

In general this is a good decision. Google does not need to collect all that data and should provide an education package that protects the children's data. However this will proba…
