Is this not free market capitalism?
Domestic electricity was too expensive (and I’m assuming producers would rather pass the costs onto consumers rather than spend their own money and build solar/battery plants themselves), so individuals with capital did the cost-benefit analysis and determined that installing solar is cheaper in the long term.
This drove the price of electricity down during the day, causing the cost-benefit of home-scale batteries to become positive over a reasonable timescale. Thus, people with capital invested money for a positive ROI over a medium term!
The government subsidies level the playing field so it’s not only the upper-class that can benefit from this phenomenon - they are providing equity, not equality. And, cutting out all the middle management waste of the large utility companies, meaning Australians get more electricity for their buck.
Modern capitalism is what failed here. The Australian power providers should’ve gone down this route, but (I’m assuming) shareholders would be upset about ROI on the scale of 5-20 years. Homeowners are more reasonable.
I’ve had good experiences with MinerU and PaddleOCR-VL
Does closing the M-series laptop lid no longer throttle the CPU like it did on the Intel ones?
I will agree - async rust on an operating system isn’t all that impressive - it’s a lot easier to just have well defined tasks and manually spawn threads to do the work.
However, in embedded rust async functions are amazing! Combine it with a scheduler like rtic or embassy, and now hardware abstractions are completely taken care of. Serial port? Just two layers of abstraction and you have a DMA system that shoves bytes out UART as fast as you can create them. And your terminal thread will only occupy as much time as it needs to generate the bytes and spit them out, no spin locking or waiting for a status register to report ready.

I see 15g CO2(eq)/km in the bottom left-hand corner
Terminating HDCP is difficult, you’d have to downgrade it to HDCP 1.4 and then have a 1.4 ‘compliant’ (see: device on the end for it to be a dummy monitor. If you need anything newer than HDCP 1.4, it’s likely not possible.
Try reading a 40+ page document with track changes enabled (and 100+ changes) - it pins a full CPU core for 5 seconds when you go to the next page!
Gray text on a black background is an awful colour choice for this website
I tried Portal RTX on a 9070 XT and got 20 FPS at full resolution (no frame generation). There’s no driver limitations, but I have no idea what the expected FPS is
They already do - most of the components buck the 12V down to the 1.3ish volts that the GPU core needs
I would argue the opposite - DisplayPort has won the computing format war, especially on laptops. Most laptops will have at least two USB-C ports with DisplayPort tunneling. Most business PCs have only DisplayPort connectivity, with the assumption that you'll buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (if you have an older monitor that only supported HDMI).
True, we will never see them on the TV, but on the computer it is all DisplayPort.
Does Half Life Alyx not come with the headset anymore?
That github link gives a 404 - is the repo private?
Ah. I ran into this last weekend when installing Linux to a secondary partition. I just disabled secure boot, good to know there is a proper workaround
> "The plane had been cruising at 17,000 feet until 1:21 p.m., when it dropped approximately 250 feet in 10 seconds. It then climbed approximately 400 feet in about eight seconds."

I believe the author is implying that if the pilots attempted to maintain speed rather than altitude, the aerodynamic stall wouldn't have occurred - if they descended below 12000', the icing would be reversible.
For your first point, does ../../user/repo.git not work? I have a self hosted GitLab and that’s how I’ve specified all my submodules and it survived a top-level url change (with a new clone or changing the origin)
I think you misunderstand the whole concept of P2P payment apps - it’s meant to be digital cash and replace physical money.
Credit cards can afford to protect you from fraud because of the high level of trust between companies and the point of sales - too many fraudulent purchases and they stop accepting the transactions. Not to mention the fees they charge to both the purchasers and sellers!
If you get scammed with a debit card, cash, or a P2P app, that’s a matter for small claims courts, and if you’re lucky, maybe the police will charge them with a crime. But the risk is on the individual, and that’s a feature, not a bug.
It was rolled out through Windows update, so I'm not confident the end users authorized it.
I wrote a USB host driver for the STM32F4 a couple months ago, and the most difficult part was the lack of good documentation - the peripheral had r/w registers mapped as read-only in the SVD, there was a bit you had to set that wasn't mentioned in the documentation, and then the whole USB bulk-only-transport pointing to a non-existent SCSI spec. I ended up finding a blog post stating that you have to basically copy what Windows does in order for USB drives to work.
Luckily I had an oscilloscope that could decode USB frames to save me a whole bunch of time to understand why things weren't working.
USB seems to depend on a whole lot of tribal knowledge, which makes it impressive that it is so ubiquitous and works out of the box for the most part.
Any plans to sell just the display?
I wouldn’t consider passport, social security, or bank account numbers “public records”.
Nope, parking brakes are usually a separate (and traditionally mechanical) system on automatics. Electronic parking brakes are still rare
Not quite the same - automatic transmissions have a pawl that locks the axle in place, it’s not just the engine like in a manual transmission.
How much do you know about getting into this field? I’d be interested to know more.
