Personally, I just finished up a project with one to poll outdoor and indoor weather sensors and notify the household over discord when it's warm enough outside to probably need air conditioning, when it's cooled off enough to probably not need AC, when the AC goes on, and when the AC goes off. It also parses and displays and notifies information from the National Weather Service when there are relevant alerts in my area.

Or Meta could not break the law. It's just that easy.

Commissioning art like this is at most a few hundred dollars. As was posted elsewhere, there are lots of young artists that need to pad out their portfolios, as well as artists in places where the cost of living is significantly cheaper. This isn't a multi-thousand-dollar thing that only the 1% could afford.

A DDoS like this, probably ransom. A group asking for x thousand or million dollars or they take you offline for a while. Another possibility is someone upset over Ubuntu's direction and is trying to "convince" them to do certain actions. Sadly, people are petty and greedy.

The US, we ration too. We just do it in the most cruel way possible where the working poor doesn't get access to health care, because they can't afford it, and just lives with preventable and easily treated conditions until they die sooner and more miserably.

About the only one I can think of is connectivity in electronically noisy situations. It's a lot easier to find gigabit sfp modules for linking with fiber than it is to find 100 mbit modules.

Better connectivity. The Nucleo 144 only has 100mbit ethernet, as far as I can tell, but the new ESP chip has gigabit, along with wireless.

Theoretically, yeah. Though at 320Mhz, with only 2.4ghz wireless, even with two cores, I doubt it's going to get anywhere near the throughput to fill the gigabit connection.

Redis started off as Free Software, but was switched to a source available license in version 7.4. The community promptly forked to Valkey, which is still under the BSD license. Since then, Redis shifted to AGPL 3, with contributor agreements, to try to ensure that they're the only ones who can attempt to commercialize Redis.

The BSD license made forking Valkey easier because it ensures that everyone has equal footing. The GPL, especially with contributor license agreements and the like, makes it much more easy for a single party to control the direction of the product. For another example of this happening, look at MongoDB. It started out under the AGPL, but was rugpulled to a non-free license.

The BSD license is why we have Valkey and not a purely closed-source Redis. It would have been much easier to perform the rugpull if Redis had initially been GPLed.

The valve's jammed, so they can't really pump things in or out.

I was one of the dozen or so who photographed this event. The breakdown was about a third there for the march, a third there for counterprotesting, and a third there documenting the event.
