Re:From Oscilloscope to Wireshark: A UDP Story on Thursday March 19, 2026 @05:22PM (#47446355)
Actually I take it back: For the series 6B spec page... Real-time: 50 GS/s (2 channels), 25 GS/s (4 channels), 12.5 GS/s (> 4 channels) Interpolated: 2.5 TS/s
Re:From Oscilloscope to Wireshark: A UDP Story on Thursday March 19, 2026 @05:20PM (#47446316)
Looks like max 50GS/s per their site. That also looks reasonable with the screenshot they have in the article showing 1ns / div horiz. But clarity on the data would be lovely. =)

ROFL, I wish Pike had known what he was talking about. /s ;)
Re:Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @07:19AM (#47424227)
Can't be but so obvious if the first comment I saw here was that the first two rules didn't seem so important. =)
Looking at the comparison btw M class machines and the Minisforum MS-R1 that is the same chip, I'm not sure Apple is being proved wrong here.

Toyota Sienna == Toyota Highlander

It's all the exact same chassis, drive, suspension, pretty much you name it except the doors and body style. So that's not quite true...

I eagerly await being able to play it on Steam and iOS/Play. =)

Ok fair, but in that case isn't it missing the words "I think" prepended to the factual assertion.

As in: I think it's missing the words "I think" from that statement. (Which is educated speculation on the statement that has yet to be rigorously explored)

40% is a rounding error? I hope not ;) (edit, fine 34%... but I'll say THAT might be a rounding error grin)
Yeah, that would be convenient. It feels like users do get the power to choose utility (enable) vs skeeved out (disable), which is all you can ask for =)
Huh, I just disabled it in Preferences and kept on rolling. This is the other viable option: Settings->Pointer->General and disable cmd-click opens filename/URL.

Completely unrealistic… more constructive to recommend melting them down and re-casting/machining =)

No updated release or new news at all here.

Genie is what I heard. I haven’t deep dived, as I’m going to get along with Ratgdo. But if I needed new ones that’s where I’d start. =)
I don’t, and would happily use that installer again. =) But unless you give feedback on how the choices are working out how can you expect them to know and have a better choice next time? (Genie, is what I heard for the future… I’ll have to check further when/if it becomes relevant)
You can buy little ESPHome devices that will speak it’s local serial protocol and control it. (And then link to them how you want)

It’s incredibly annoying and dumb and I now have to get some. grumble

And put it high and proud on the site!
I use Home Assistant and have this openner. My installer recommeneded it because he’s had happy customers like me who use home automation. I can tell you that I a) will never recommend or buy the brand again, and b) have already complained to my installer about his recommendation of this line (and he is moving to another brand).

I wish ratgdo a ton of success and have several on order.

So much truth in such a dense format. =)
In other news, it turns out that detecting smaller and lower contrast objects is harding with optical sensors. Almost, you know, like how it is with real people.
Re:iPhone = Privacy? on Tuesday September 27, 2022 @10:48AM (#32995977)
Huh, I use Google Maps daily too and have never had a popup since the first time I used it and picked "While using". I could have picked "Always", which worked too, but choose not to for reasons outlined in other posts here.

You can also easily turn off "Maps" tracking or limit it the same way if you choose.

I got to admit that I don't see the meat in this burger, so to speak.

Ah! thanks, and tough to disagree.
Re:Re-Entering the Vampire Castle on Saturday September 24, 2022 @08:49AM (#32962051)
I have to ask: w-word? I even searched the article and couldn't figure out what you are referring to.
Re:Booting Linux in five seconds (2008) on Friday July 29, 2022 @02:58PM (#32280551)
A common use case for this is things like car/plane instruments/nav/etc. You don't want that sucking power all the time when your vehicle is parked for 1 week or two, but you do want a quick transition from POR to usable UI up and running.
Re:Arm Introduces the Cortex-A715 on Wednesday June 29, 2022 @07:44PM (#31927124)
And memory is also a large user of power budget. This is exactly right… larger and brighter screens, better wifi, BT, and cellular systems, more memory, and higher system speeds (because you know that 20% more efficient processor is X% faster offsetting that efficiency) all eat up that power budget.
Re:Ask HN: What has melted your brain recently? on Thursday June 16, 2022 @10:11AM (#31766257)
While funny, California as a whole has (according to Wiki) 8.5% of million dollar net worth families. There are almost 10million of them in the US. That's on the order 1 in 10 people belonging to a family in that bracket in the US and thus a whole bunch of people. So that's not really just some tech bro's in the valley...
Re:How Secure Boot Works on M1 Series Macs on Wednesday December 29, 2021 @07:36PM (#29732037)
That has full access to, and modification/control ability over, the main CPU.
Re:How Secure Boot Works on M1 Series Macs on Wednesday December 29, 2021 @02:04PM (#29728589)
Yep. The signing is done with public/private (aka asymmetric) keys and some kind of hashing mechanism.
Re:How Secure Boot Works on M1 Series Macs on Wednesday December 29, 2021 @12:08PM (#29726818)
How do you secure something when other's know the secret? There has to be some "secret" (aka key) that some definition of "you" only knows, that the system then tests against (hopefully via some kind of asymmetric system or hash).
