> POWER-powered low cost SOCs akin to Arduino More in the range of the arduino than the pi, you could get a Colorlight 5A-75b for ~$15 on AliExpress and reprogram its FPGA to run a…

For some value of "capable": https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/riscv/con...

It hadn't occurred to me that PATA/IDE could be so simple to speak. Now I'm excited about the possibility of being able to dump a 25 or 30-year-old IDE drive I have that my USB ada…

> are open hardware. Are they? I only see PDFs of schematics on their website, and no claims of being open. Of course with a breakout board like that there isn't really any secret …

It sounds like the solution was always left as an exercise for the reader in the day-to-day dealings of the group even among the members: "Each participating country was supposed t…

Anyone getting an air quality monitor specifically because of an interest in CO2 needs to be a bit wary, a lot of them claim to have a CO2 sensor but are actually just predicting C…

Seems like there's a bit of room for confusion in the stuff surrounding the two. Would you guess "PYNQ - Python Productivity for ZYNQ" is a set of python bindings for this Zynq's A…

Yeah, a 16K Spartan 6, 64MBytes of DDR3 RAM, and an FX2LP USB High-Speed controller is a pretty terrific repurposed FPGA dev board in the vein of the chubby75 or panologic, even if…

There's not a lot of reason to stick with micro USB even for hobbyist projects. You can get USB-C "charging" receptacles that only breakout 6 contacts in any combination of SMD/PTH…

I know the concern is about parcels specifically, but doesn't this agreement also cover all international mail? Is the US going to be essentially cut off from international mail de…

Hmm, that $100K stretch goal is pretty much required for me to be able to use this instead of a yubikey. I wonder how likely it is to be met? The whole "we have to avoid GPL3 code …

The Pocket Operators are just a generic DAC+amp chip, the Cirrus CS42L52. The DAC is driven by a 48MHz MCU with just 32K of RAM. If it were purely a question of technical / hardwar…

As your parent says, the Pi 4 doesn't support USB or network booting yet . From your link: > Support for these additional bootmodes will be added in the future via optional bootloa…

Nice, I've subscribed to the RSS feed. A little weird to see such old software versions being used in an article with 'modern' in its title, but I suppose you have to pick a point …

> but to my knowledge no browser implements it Firefox does, though I don't know how much they check beyond just the dNSName constraints. Here's the unit test making sure it stays …

My understanding is that A2 cards are generally slower than A1 cards IF you don't have host-side support for managing the volatile-RAM caching that A2 requires. So if the Pi 4 only…

> I'm kind of amazed he was able to fly a plane like that at 50 hours. A turbo-charged engine requires an extra certification step right? The wikipedia page for the Beechcraft Bona…

The credits at the end of the post thank folks who worked on the CYW43455 integration, which matchs up with the raspberry expectation of being a (former) Broadcom part.

I don't understand the change. If I understand the history correctly, previously commercial usage restrictions only applied to official binaries downloaded from their site, and now…

Probably because they don't care if it's made by STMicroelectronics or by GigaDevice. Most likely it is made by GigaDevice, but maybe they thought calling it a GD32F103C8T6 would b…

Only after you've agreed to it does it popup the text "This development board can be only used for prototyping, it cannot be built into a product for commercial distribution. It ca…

It requires you to click a checkmark box for "I agree to the restrictions" to add it to your cart. I suppose that's what they consider to be restricting your usage to their approve…

I think the blog post is saying that, especially in the quote that started this thread. The post portrays ad-blocking browser extensions as not worth the risk, discussing both the …
