  Cody Berg was hired by Linus Tovalds after Gita Hub left his company.

  yes as others have said. microcontroller with decent io and wifi, fairly easy to make web interfaces which is handy. A step up from arduino and i dont think it eats too much more power if the wifi is used sparingly. I've got a wildlife infrared camera made off a pi zero. I reckon if i can switch that to esp32 the battery life might stretch quite a bit - or i can shrink the case to a smaller battery. raspberry pipico would probably do similar tbf, but i bought like 10 esp32 for cheap....

  I think esp32 is more commonly used. i think they're pretty similar capabilities and both dirt cheap. I just see more projects with esp32.

  yeah that's what had me confused. Maybe they mean open some process management tool ?

  Might make open source more trustworthy, It can't be any harder to check than closed source.

  Is it even true? I'd have thought if i find the right wine prefix, use some winetricks type thing on it, execute whatever installer, then it should modify that game files / env? I'm not saying i've ever done it, but it feels like that would most likely work just fine. I mean as a uk steaming turd, i'd take the cash ( so long as it didn't require age verification), but there are way more egregious infringements of competition in this cuntry that get off scott free even a...

  It's worse than that, lots of these linuxes actually have this builtin virus called wine, which means they are really just windows in disguise. It also makes them look like a hacker to the FBI, that's why TYOTLD has never come. Most linusers are getting dissapeared to guano bay. Far safer to stay on windows, linus is only suitable for real hackers who can grep their way into cia mainframe to expunge their records.

  Nah, the data just sounds better on vinyl. Especially if you use valves instead of silicon transistors.

  DOS and win2000 (debloated) was the only ones i could stand. XP debloated was almost tolerable, but 2000 was nicer for reasons that i cant remember. I'm not sure about calling windows the OS before me/xp though (whenever they put the NT kernel into consumer) - i think before that it was still effectively just MS-DOS as the operating system. Windows was more like a desktop environment in linux terms. For example i think I used the same windows 3.1 or 3.11 across several operating syst...

  A more easily if everyone who isn't moving bulky things (like majority of commuters) is using public transport.

  'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' (TV, 2000s) also had something similar in the "skipper the eyechild" episode. Nsfw if anyone searches it. I'd be quite surprised if they paid royalties for that.

  Thanks! You stopped me clinking the linked slop so i downvoted OP, but your comment made me look up the previous project and some of that made me feel slightly less bad about my own shitty ignorant failures with guitar effect circuits. https://github.com/torvalds/GuitarPedal If you actually know what you are doing, and you looked at the schematic and went "Linus is clearly way over his head, and that is just stupid", whether it comes to parts choices or to just the circuit in g...

  I don't know about supplies in rest of the world, but typically the rpi "kits" that include the book seem to be very limited and rarely in stock. I think the book, at least older versions, can be found on ebay though. I think its just a basic into to python and GPIO so the earlier editions are probably fine.

• Post #118748

  Compare it to the likely alternative for the task/person, probably R or even MS excel in many cases i'd guess. The alternatives should ideally be based on empirical observation of the population. The marginal saving of choosing a higher efficiency than python might look a lot lower.

• Post #97528

  I guess you might want to link the psu to a bunch of relays that controlled by the gpio, and use it to deliver medium amounts of power to various peripherals. i guess lots of motors or maybe fairly powerful led lighting arrays, or weak heaters , comes to mind. So what seemed most daft to me is exposing the 3v and 5v lines on that breadboard like thing, but not using the psu's +/-12v lines - that could let you run 12 and 24V stuff. plenty of space to allow for a bunch of relays and some...

  UK is generally shite - and probably getting worse. intercity trains and local bus services are probably better than average USA - if there even is such an "average" for USA. I don't think much in the UK is as good as say NYC though - and if there is - say maybe central London, it's fucking expensive. I recall from years ago buses and metro in NYC being quite cheap - but not like continental Europe levels of cheap. Good job UK is not in Europe anymore - bringing the e...

  It'll depend on the futures contracts. They'll have price clauses and, get-out clauses , resale clauses and stuff, so it'll come down to lawyering. It's unlikely that journos know the contract details. Buy clearly any OEM without a futures contract already in place does not have access to low prices. And any OEM with cheap stock and contractual freedom to resell would seriously consider parting out and selling off stock at the windfall price.

  Nah, its in shitpost. Mickey7 must think this is ludicrous crap.
