Wide display: perfect for reading A4 documents

keyboard: nicer to type. Also, the passport was as wide as, well … , a passport so it is a pretty decently sized keyboard which isn’t comparable to the tiny Q10.

The passport was never meant to be a generic for the masses device. It is a beautiful specialized tool.

This device has a tiny touchscreen, and a keyboard, rather than having the whole thing being a touchscreen.

That’s awesome. I still miss my Blackberry Passport (keyboard and large 1:1 screen).

Also, what if this is an actual viable way to “market” for an open-source project?

I am fortunate enough to not market my stuff:

If somebody finds and can make use of it. Great.

In the other case who cares? Didn’t hurt or cost me anything to publish it.

Fake GitHub stares have other implications: Typosquatting is a real issue and fake stars make it more convincing that it is the genuine project.

If you want an new SBC: Intel N100 for as low as $60 with 4GB DDR5 RAM.

The raspberry pi isn’t a hobby/consumer product anymore. 2020 has shown that the Pi Foundation sees itself as an industry-first product. Also don’t forget that they went public a few months ago so who knows what will come out of this step.

Let’s face it: Intel driver support is great maybe even better than it is on a Raspberry Pi and proprietary is both hardware.

MCUs can run Linux.

I don’t use Espriff products so no idea if it is available for the ESP32.

To keep alive the community that maintains the packages that businesses use? /s

There are a few things you won’t forget and the last years were one of those events. Thankfully the competition made leaps forward regarding software support.

Do you remember FTDI-gate 1 & 2 (approx. 1 decade ago)? I do and FTDI never made it back onto my BOM and probably never will again, at least until SiliconLabs, WCH, and Holtek screw it up.

Wood stoves are a major problem. As soon as it gets cold in Germany, air pollution rises from below 5µg/m^3 to 20-100 µg/m^3 and stays there for months (in this particular area).

Depends. If you are talking to Asia or US just referring to yourself or a place as EU is the best option. Same goes for technical documentation. There is for example “EU machine directive” which would trigger the block list.

EU? That would be like banning USA.

The initial bust happened.

They screwed up with the most critical group. To cite Steve Ballmer: “developers, developers, developers, developers”. Now tools like bot banning are gone.

Some moderators have stepped down or stayed till they were banned but in large they gave in. As nearly all posts in r/modnews have under 20% upvote ratio the mods are still not happy (e.g. 17% upvotes, 83% downvotes for the r/place announcement and comments are by large negative).

Btw. If you want to hurt Reddit: Post good content on Lemmy and cross-reference it on Reddit.

Btw. Lemmy won’t replace Reddit. This might be hard but it’s the truth and it might be the best for Lemmy as a big platform has a different flair compared to how Lemmy is right now.

Enjoy it. Lemmy, unfortunately, will change as it grows, as any community has done in the past.

It feels like 90% of Reddit is Karma farming bots (posts and comments) to resell those accounts. Throwing in chatGPT bots & astroturfing and you probably reach 95% of Reddit.

r/place is a perfect demonstration that Reddit is dominated by bots (and admins).

Tried basic embedded tasks a week ago: Complete trainwreck.

From using I2C to read out the internal temperature sensor on a Puya F030 (retested with an STM MCU and AVR: same answer but F030 replaced by STM32F103 within the code) to calling the WCH CH32V307 made by STM utilizing ARM M4.

After telling it to not use I2C it gave a different answer. Once more gibberish that looked like code.

What made this entirely embarrassing all a human would need to solve the question would be copy-pasting the question into Google and clicking the first link to the manufacturer example project/code hosted on GitHub.
