The Hackernews snark would likely be worse had they called it 'bureau'.

Have you consumed any media in the last decades.

Ed Zitron Voice: Is that good?

Depending on how you build it, you could run homeassistant next to your smb, which lends itself to all sorts of add-ons such as calibre-web for displaying eBooks and synchronizing …

In your opinion, what would instead justify the total cost of devoting 10'000 people's lives to basic research?

That is equivalent to a continuous draw of 150 MW. Not great, not terrible. Far less power than those projected gigawatt data centers that are surely the one thing keeping AI compa…

Look into CXL, Oculink, and riser cables.

How's AMD's engineering support these days? I've heard through the grapevine that many laptops were mostly engineered by intel engineers, creating a natural moat because the laptop…

I agree insofar as the motor is not a Big Ticket Item, opposed to ICE cars where the engine block is going to be 10% or more. Tesla (I know) claimed a 30kg (?) weight loss on their…

To me the real question is what kind of trust has eroded that Americans stopped electing smart people into office.

That explains so much. Done to well for a goof channel, eclectic assortment of skills ("tactical garden trowel" vs fully equipped metal shop vs perfect video production), all fat t…

How can you tell without knowing the bus width?

Write it as a children's book. A literal ELI5. (Knowing, of course, that it will still be read mainly by engineers. But that's the charm.)

Chiron still has that Piëch handwriting on it. It's driveable enough to take your wife to the opera. Full regulatory compliance, low wind noise at high speeds, all that. I don't wa…

> we prob don't want to have it in Europe Best indicator as to what that is.

My guess is automated surveillance, which is also where this whole play has to be headed.

Has the research aspect ever been more than a fig leaf and a "might as well"? Strong parallel to rockets and high-altitude planes used for atmospheric research ...

I've also learned the hard way to Google "AM4 main board tier list" before buying. Some boards can run a 5950X in name only, while others can comfortably run it close to double its…

I don't even think it's cynical anymore to assume that this is the entire reason why Meta are pursuing this. They see themselves in a race to produce the most radical, most efficie…

I can't imagine there being enough information for true fingerprinting of individual devices. With ten million iPhones being made per month, surely the blur patterns have to have s…

It's the same with military sites in France, where satellite images are blurred but you still get street view, and if that doesn't exist, you can still look at ground level photos,…

Needs a PCIe bifurcation chip on the main board for all we know. Compatibility is going to be fun .

On my Fenix 6, Bluetooth volume control broke after a few years, and now the volume slider does nothing, which the hivemind confirmed. So, it is in fact worse than not getting upgr…

I've seen US startup people deal with manufacturing. There is a class gap that leaves no real space for skilled blue-collar work to exist and also be business critical, and fully i…
