A library function written in what? Atomics also come along with memory ordering which isn’t otherwise expressible in the language, as in, there was no standard way to do a “load acquire” before, for example.

Doesn’t Google own Waymo? I feel like they would have connected the dots.

A thunderbolt cable

This is also why a lot of car bumpers have the make/model/logo impressed into the mold itself

I would expect power consumption to be fairly consistent for something like a surveillance camera that emits a stream 24/7.

RDMA offers that. The NIC can directly access user space buffers. It does require that the buffers are “registered” first but applications usually aim to do that once up front.

Can’t speak for others, but AVRs usually have excellent documentation IMO. I’ve even seen code snippets for peripherals.

Maybe a dumb question but how do non x86 boards normally boot Linux images in a generic way? When I was in the embedded space, our boards all relied on very specific device tree blobs. Is the same strategy used for these or does it use ACPI or something?

I like to rinse the plates off to remove larger food debris prior to putting them into the dishwasher. It’s not always necessary though.

Actually no - I forgot about my Bosch dishwasher that uses capacitive touch buttons. Great idea for something that is often touched with wet fingers…

My favorite is my Bosh wall oven that uses 85C rated capacitors with practically no voltage derating for the control board that sits directly at the top of the oven. After 4 years, they gave out causing the display to dim to the point of invisibility.

We’re talking about 50 cents of part savings on a $3000+ appliance here.

Replaced them myself easily, but most people will end up having to call for service and end up replacing the entire board for hundreds of dollars minimum.

Early (2003 for sure) 350z had it as well.
