Glad to own a car that will only update via USB and even then only when I want it to.

Which is never, unless something is broken.

Having rolling releases for a CAR is absolutely stupid.

No. As enshittification encroaches onto Linux the user base is moving the other way. To their benefit, I might add. With ZFS on root in FreeBSD it's a no-brainer.

Linux is feeling more and more like a bunch of random tools thrown together as opposed to a complete OS designed to work as a whole.

Do you think tech bros who voluntarily choose to live in the woods should pay the same subsidized price as a rural African schoolhouse? Equity and all that.

Boo hoo.... these same people were previously faced with $40,000 connection fees for Comcast and Verizon to trench a cable 1/2 mile to their property so $1500 seems like a pittance.

Look, friends of mine did this, they bought a country place so they can live the dream and write software in the sticks.

Next thing you know they're drilling new wells and installing a generator to support the fantasy while the bills pile up. When you bring modern conveniences to rural life it costs money.

If you need a specialized amphibious vehicle to get to your shack in the woods, it's not anti-consumer if it costs you more than a Mitsubishi Mirage.

If you're privileged enough to work a six-figure tech job while engaging in a homesteader larp in a "cabin in the woods", you can probably afford the fee. So can "off-grid" YouTuber grifters.

It's like everyone feels entitled to something they didn't know existed a few years ago.

Sounds like a lot but compare it to Edge also being patched for 428 Chromium CVEs this month.

If 20 years ago you told me a single piece of software had 428 vulnerabilities I wouldn't have believed it.

If Chromium has that many security bugs, perhaps the move fast and break things approach of spraying diarrhea masquerading as code into a keyboard — in a rush to add new features no one asked for — needs to be reexamined.

Interesting choice of name for a website which contains no actual engineering.

Didn't the crustacean site temporarily lose its domain a minute ago because someone had to make an in-person payment to whatever Serbian mafia controls .rs?

Vanity domains are beyond stupid and not worth the trouble.

Well your interpretation is both rude and wrong but I've learned to expect this level of hubris here.

How can we use a bucket of mostly useless data to enrich ourselves by building more VC-funded apps? I'm asking the important questions.

Cool.

Still doesn't change the fact that this is an untested board design that relies on a difficult-to-source obsolete chip.

If some pins are swapped by mistake e.g. power and ground you are screwed.

Caveat emptor — unfortunately this was buried in the description.

> If you want to build this board, first make sure you have an AMD InterWave chip, the AM78C201. The design of the card is quite simple since essentially all sound card functionality is built into the AMD chip.

...it's a breakout board for an OOP chip that's impossible to find?
