ha, you don't sound like you have kids. My kids love Roblox... You're birthday is coming up, what do you want? Roblox gift card. Grandma wants to get you a birthday, xmas, ____ gif…

just to complete the story, SCSI does have ATA command pass through. That is ATA commands over SCSI interface. In Linux, the libata library provides this implementation. There are …

another screen saver was Johnny Castaway. Was an IT guy at a company in the late 90s and this screen saver was on many workstations where I worked. Was always intriguing to see wha…

If anyone is interested in the 6502 and its history, this YouTuber does a fantastic job covering the history. Some of his videos include past employees of MOS & Commodore employees…

I have this toaster and LOVE it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=crc8n7D4kYg

you forgot 9 weeks off every summer, paid holidays, no contributions into social security, and some get classroom aids, they don't design curriculum (it's purchased), throw in comm…

why stop with YC? There are other VCs that might pull the trigger, no?

I'm a senior software develop & architect with two degrees. Does that make me over qualified for Apple software jobs?

funny that they have power down to the milli-watt and it's so stable. Anyone know what the update rate is? Is it with every second? Cool looking web site

just out of curiosity... if it's an eval board, then do they provide schematics which are typical of other eval board producers? Having the schematic might aid in getting things wo…

hmm, sounds suspicious, in that the seat sensor was disabled? Even our vehicles won't move, when in gear if no one is in the seat. Seat senors cut the drive train. Even my 15 year …

"Someone has to do it. What makes John Deere's embedded software engineers more qualified..." Simple, John Deere, probably like us, has spent more testing the software than you cou…

I actually agree with this statement and to your credit, a lot of the design work I do follows some of this. Keep in mind that these are factories on wheels which means not only do…

The non-computer people comment refers to the folks in the video; not this forum. You also seem to be conflating right to repair vs. right to inspect code because you feel you have…

perhaps, but if you sold the equipment without telling the new owner they were running your code and they got hurt or killed, as I said above, companies don't want tie up their res…

not if the modified code also modified the boot loader.

Too bad that's not stated in the article. The way the article reads seems to imply a kernel OS.

Calling the commodore's firmware a kernel is a bit of a stretch in my opinion because it did not schedule anything. The 6502 had no MMU and therefore no virtual memory or running o…

it's not and you're right. The right to repair effects agricultural equipment. Hacking the software to add features or disable things is not repairing it!

Tractors & Combines are way more expensive than cars so it's not a fair comparison. You can't use a cherry picker to replace a tractor engine... At least the large kind. Tractors a…

"Safety is exactly one of the reasons why you'd want the complexity of software laid bare out in the open" No, disagree. If I laid out our source code for you, there is no way you …

" It's quite clear that if certain changes result in different behavior, then whomever made those specific changes is responsible for the resulting behavior." Umm, well people lie.…

Companies generally don't want you in the software for safety reasons. While true there is intellectual property around the guidance and swath generating algorithms, companies hate…

You should have a look at 4Coder: https://4coder.handmade.network/ Currently targeting the C++ language. The guy is writing it in C++ and is targeting Windows & Linux. I think he's…

The article mentions firmware version 2.30.165 where as mine is running 2.11.168 and when checking for updates, reports back I have the latest. I have the EX4 models. I only run mi…
