Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

the fuck is a network chip? why not just use a low power sock running an embedded Linux router? one statement raises so many questions!

they do exist but are typically made by vendors like Broadcom

You're not getting the necessary thoughtput with a low power socket at the critical infrastructure.

Sometimes, data must be transmitted and received in a more precise way that a normal Ethernet could ever do. You see, those robotics people think "realtime" means to have a message delivered within a millisecond.

In my system I know where the bits are down to five picoseconds. This requires technology that is a tad more complex than just throwing a dumb PC at the problem (even if it runs Linux).
