Nukes prevented global super powers from going to war against each other for the past 80 years. Maybe the vast democratization and spread of cheap drones will prevent all these stu…

The rules need to be updated to better ensure accurate calls. If we can agree that Balogun's red card was overkill because his trip wasn't intentional then there should be a way to…

Most US citizens want to be an electrostate. This current administration wants to go back in time and try to be a petrostate....

There are startups trying to reduce the time/cost of chip-fab. Atomic Semi is one. Most of the big players have shuttle services which one can use to put a small chip on for fabric…

Mr. Rush clearly did not watch Breaking Bad... But how did the CIA not check on whether or not he had graduated from one of the three different colleges he listed as graduating fro…

They voted for a proven con-man because they hated the idea of a black woman being president. US Racism - still going strong after 250 years...

Brings back lots of good memories of my middle-school and high-school BBS DaYZ!

I've had a Framework 13 for 20 months now. AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ 32GB DDR4. Running Ubuntu. I love it. My only complaint/request: USB-C for power should be build into the chassis a…

Don't confuse skeptics with conspiracy theorists.

Seems like a shrewd move. Historically Qualcomm products were only available to the top 5 phone vendors. You couldn't even steal a datasheet... If they're serious about opening up …

This sounds fascinating! I'd like to learn more about using AI for CAD file generation - since freecad is miserable to use! Can you share more on this?

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!

Most people (and I'm talking 85%+) do NOT need 4wd or ground clearance. I get so tired of these excuses being trotted out by truck owners. Don't get your panties in a wad when peop…

I would respectfully disagree with your assertion regarding Framework laptops. Their entire business model is predicated on building computers that DO last more than a few years...…

I'm building modular home audio speakers. Wireless, self-powered, upgradeable, repairable. Think Sonos meets the Framework laptop. Check out my prelaunch page here: https://prelaun…

For years I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I could upgrade my current home audio speakers without having to buy new ones?" Well after noodling on this idea for a few years I've …

Finding good embedded developers is tough. I think this is a stable career path. There's a lot of "python jockeys" out there, but ask them to port something from their laptop to an…

The capex build-out for the gpu's reminds me of the telecom build-out in the late 90's. So many of those companies went bust but they laid a lot of high-speed fiber before they did…

Think about the target audience for those two products and you'll quickly understand why a SaaS "Texas Edition" would be DOA...

I agree with your sentiments on an open platform ultimately prevailing. The hardware is still not there yet for good AR glasses (IMO). The processing power, connectivity, power, di…

Super impressive!

At first I thought I read, A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your "kinks" and I got excited!

It's a classic chicken and egg economic problem. BMW doesn't make the chips/electronics that support the 48V architecture - Bosch & Continental (with NXP/TI/Infineon/Renesas as the…
