Modern CPU and GPUs are the pinnacle of human creation. Each step, from design to build is resting on the foundation of decades of learnings and millions of hours of highly trained and educated individuals. All of this knowledge and talent is guarded. I don’t think you fathom the scale of which you discuss. At best we can play around as aggregated hobbiest and make perhaps a 1980s tech CPU.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

This article doesnt mention this is a 4 year phase out period so this doesn’t happen all at once. I work in consumer electronics, some things will get easier, some harder, but generally it will all get more expensive.

But google still gets paid. The advertisers will just pump money into Google’s coffers.

Debian also for decades but started with Slack in the late 90s. Hello Linux buddy!

I’m a little biased as I work for Bose but we still use a metal yoke and hinge.

Dow Jones is up though, that means everything is fine and the future looks bright.

This is happening in all aspects of consumer electronics. Broad platforms of hardware and software that is cheap enough to meet all the needs then just water it down for the ‘cheaper’ varieties. The consumer has no attention span so everything has to be fresh and totally new with more features every 1-4 years max. Ita what the consumer demands from complex systems so engineers just need to churn shit out as fast as possible and everyone suffers.

That was my first thought, dude looked coked up…

Does anyone remember older 747 jets having these types of projectors to show movies on international flights? Always thought it was so cool.

I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.

My 36" TV is fine, you monster.

I work for an un-named company that makes stuff that has google assistant on them. Initially we put hardware mutes and piped the microphones to physical hardware that monitored for wake up words locally and would then start piping the microphone data to the mother ship once it was heard. Google told us to stop that, only way to certify the product as compatible with Google Assistant was to pipe the raw microphone data to the mother ship 24/7. That was 5 years ago and I removed all devices from my house.

Wild to see this posted. I worked for the guy that invented this at Sylvania, I have a bunch of photos of the early prototypes. They never figured out how to commercialize it and in the process of trying to manufacturer it in China the manufacturer stole the IP and started making them under their own brand and stole the market. They were called Icetron lamps. I worked in their R&D facilities and domestic manufacturing sites in the early 2000s.

Power is a measurement of the velocity and volume of water flowing through a pipe at a given instant*

I’m so sorry, I am officially ‘that guy’, taking a simple analogy and making it annoying…

My 16 year old Samsung TV would like to argue otherwise! It’s a beast and 1080p is plenty good for me! But my Samsung kitchen? Holy crap it’s all so terrible…

I’ve owned and deployed a lot of pi, every model, and in my experience when I have similar instability as you described its related to the sdcard. Either the sdcard itself or the tray soldered to the pi. I had one pi that would corrupt the sdcard without fail after 2 months and I played with bending the sdcard metal tray inward a little to help press the card better into the contacts and the problem went away. Try fiddling with the sdcard holder or different sdcards.

I got excited because I saw a Honda EV, a prologue. Looked it up, it’s a rebranded Chevy Blazer. Honda is absolutely fucked…

I filed it and completely forgot. 3-4 months later I got an email letting me know I was removed.
