Both Aristotle and Sokrates would grant the song one point: The demand to be productive every waking hour is not a moral truth. The boss and the father do not own the day. The problem is what the song puts in the space gained. It clears out the obligations, then it stops short of asking what the free day is for.

The marine industry would love a (non water soluble) glue that achieves structural strength on PTFE and POM.

What is the power consumption, the specs do not mention it. Does the 60Hz mean it now draws power even when the image on screen is static?

Cheating. Not involving the kernel at all.

This is sooo true. I have multiple computing ideas that I want to do just for fun but I am not doing because each requires buying a mini-pc, sometimes with a screen too, and put Linux + my app on it.

At the same time I have multiple old phones laying around, Pixels, iPhones, Galaxy that are out of date, have cracked screens or worn out batteries.

Each one of these old phones have same or more computing power than a $300 mini-pc, but I can't use them because I can't just ssh into them and install an app...

Sad, really.

Another +1 from me at 62 years. My problem is this has led to me feeling like I am tech lead for a team of a dozen excellent developers, but I have no task for them!

Yeah we had a good laugh when Downdetector was down during the Cloudflare outage yesterday. So this is appropriate. +1

I can imageine that. Although not using Channel Sounding, as it has a accuracy of +/- 200mm according to TFA. Which is still very good, though.

I wonder why when swipeing between the two sides of the disc it always appears convex from the currently viewed side, but flat when viewed edge on.

Anyone knows what could cause this?

I would question whether a PWM "technically" counts as digital... It is on and off, sure, but so is a mechanical power switch, which few would describe as digital. "Digital" is more when we get higher level values represented by multiple signals that are on or off (aka bits).

Totally agree. Dashboard felt like a thorn in the eye.

Sounds like a PERFECT chip for my next HomeAssistant box :-D

- Low power when only idling through events from the radio networks

- Low power and reasonable performance when classifying objects in a few video feeds.

- Higher power and performance when occasionally doing STT/TTS and inference on a small local LLM
