riskable

Unless it runs Linux it doesn't stand a chance. The moment you decide to sell a handheld gaming console running Windows you doom it to failure. It's the worst OS possible for that purpose.

At the current rate, Japanese robots will be all that populate the country in like 150 years. Japanese racial purity will ensure the rest of the world won't have to worry about their racism eventually 👍

Even if they are Hamas what consequences would that entail? Hamas has no real power in the US and everything they care about exists in Palestine.

Would they organize terrorists attacks in the US? It's not impossible but I think it's much more likely that they'd use the safety and security of living in the US (ya know, a secular, pluralistic democracy--the opposite of what they want for Palestine) to merely coordinate things with their allies in Gaza.

Every extremist religious organization that's ever come to the US ends up with a very rude awakening when the second or third generation ends up not believing in their religion anymore. Secular rule and freedom of religion (and from religion) are just too powerful for extremists to overcome when they're not isolated from the rest of society.

As long as any extremists can't build isolated communities of co-believers they'll never make headway in places like the US. Their children will get exposed to too much diversity of cultures and beliefs. It's highly unlikely that they will be able to avoid the inescapable march of atheism taking over the West.

BTW: If you are part of a strongly religious society. Say, the type that forces women to dress a certain way or treats non-adherents as lesser human beings then congratulations! You are promoting atheism.

Any day now a Republican will propose they solve this "bureaucratic inefficiency" by switching to ovens.

Then stop riding in her lap!

I'd love to see more adoption of... I2C!

Bazillions of motherboards and SBCs support I2C and many have the ability to use it via GPIO pins or even have connectors just for I2C devices (e.g. QWIIC). Yet there's very little in the way of things you can buy and plug in. It feels like such a waste!

There's all sorts of neat and useful things we could plug in and make use of if only there were software to use it. For example, cheap color sensors, nifty gesture sensors, time-of-flight sensors, light sensors, and more.

There's lmsensors which knows I2C and can magically understand zillions of temperature sensors and PWM things (e.g. fan control). We need something like that for all those cool devices and chips that speak I2C.

The tower on the left is home to the Tea Wizard who uses parts of the lower floors for the nation's biscuit reserves. The one on the right is host to a princess that's been waiting for rescue by a prince for a very long time now.

With big freedom come big cursors. Every click is a boom of libration!

If you're putting in a dishwasher just drill the holes. Your landlord will thank you for saving them the trouble of having to do that themselves some day.

I don't think any normal landlord would give two shits about some dishwasher-hose-sized holes drilled under a sink, between internal cabinet walls, that no one will ever see. Such holes are so far back and out of the way... No one would ever notice unless they're missing.

Wait: Do the times listed on the screen of your washer/dryer actually reflect reality‽

My dryer will say it's got 20 minutes remaining for like an hour and a half. And yes, I clean the lint screen and vent regularly (all the way up to the roof!).

This is caused by your root controller's limited bandwidth and it's inability to handle that many 3.0 devices at the same time. Some of the newer motherboards with USB C PD have controllers in them that can do a lot more.

It's basically a hack on part of the company that made the root controller IC. They know they only have enough internal bandwidth to support 16 USB 3.0 devices so they intentionally bork things when you plug in more than that since their Transaction Translator (TT) can't handle more and they were too lazy to bother implementing the ability to share 2.0 and 3.0 properly.

I'm guessing the decision went something like this...

"We have enough bandwidth for 16 3.0 devices... What do we do if someone plugs in more than that?" "Only a few people will ever have that many! We don't have the budget to handle every tiny little use case! Just ship it."

So it's not Linux fault in this case. Or at least, if it is (a problem with the driver) it's because of some proprietary bullshit that the driver requires to function properly 🤷

Never trust any organization with "heritage" in its name.
