I mean, leaving aside their surveillance tasks, it's still their job to ensure national security. It's in their best interest to keep at least themselves and their nation safe, and considering how prevalent Linux is on servers, they likely saw a net benefit this way. They even open sourced their reverse engineering toolkit Ghidra in a similar vein

If I were to guess, it would be the additional pins. USB-C PD is capable of decent power transfer while also having enough data transfer capability simultaneously. USB-C docks are a good example, seeing that you can hook up a display, charger, other USB devices, ethernet, etc and have it all go through a single cable and (compact, convenient) connector. The reversibility is an added bonus

You would probably get a feeling of déjà vu.

Just a hunch from my side, Entropy and Survival of the Fittest strike me as the underpinning principles behind life in general. Since we know empirically that the universe prefers increasing entropy, I like to treat it as a "push" towards increasing the number of possible states (like a search space of sorts). Survival of the Fittest then acts as another "push" towards choosing the right configurations to thrive in any given environment.

With that description, I'd consider such forward planning to be inherently chaotic. Everything on earth (and the universe in general, though sparser) will end up affecting each other via common systems to some extent, so I say just let it loose and observe what happens.

Hi-fi Rush is really good if you're into rhythm action, Call of Juarez is one I'm trying now and it feels nice to play

I've got a Deck, and for me it's my primary gaming platform cuz I've not been able to get my PC to my Uni. It's also much easier to pick up and put down which helps a lot with busy schedules.

AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can't be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version

That's the 6502 one you're talking about though, what about the previous one (granted it still used a bunch of ICs, but not a microcontroller per se)

Oh man, is there a community for Wiki-style battle summaries like this but for non-battles? This one's doing a number on me

Technology Connections is a nice breath of fresh air in the YouTube space if you want something tech related
