So far, the main use case for RISC-V has been providing access to CPU technology for regimes under sanctions from developed countries (or preparing for such future sanctions). I find it quite unfortunate.

In the 1990s, we had a glimpse of how the world could gradually rid itself of nuclear weapons. But the U.S. refusal to uphold the Budapest Memorandum is sending a clear message: anyone without nukes is extremely vulnerable. Now wait while arsenals quietly grow around the world, and then some "spark" sets everything on fire.

The answer to the "is it PD?" question is increasingly becoming "yes". I recently needed a Qualcomm Quick Charge USB-A charger, and finding one for sale took some effort because most chargers now use PD over USB-C, with their USB-A ports (if any) being plain 5 volts only.

Ukrainian and russian words often use the same letters but are pronounced very differently due to distinct phonetics. On the other hand, some Polish and Czech words sound the same or very similar to Ukrainian but look quite different because of their different alphabets. Therefore, phonetic transcription would be a valuable improvement.

OpenWrt One is based on Banana Pi anyway. And it comes already assembled, with the Luci GUI working out of the box, etc. In other words, it is a nice package for those who DON'T want to any screwdrivers to be involved just to get it actually running in your home.

I always wanted to try OpenWRT but was put off by the necessity of doing hardware modifications to stock routers to gain root access. So naturally, once I found out that they were releasing some official hardware for OpenWRT (the OpenWRT One router), I ordered it as soon as possible. The router is excellent! It solved my bufferbloat issues and much more.

I use it mostly for the "Google TV" part, not for the "Chromecast" part.

I guess I'll have to buy the new Google TV Streamer because my previous Chromecast with Google TV 4K is now close to useless because of the lack of flash memory space after all the updates (despite it has a properly initialized USB drive connected via a powered USB-C hub, the most essential apps still require to be installed on the miniscule internal memory).

Russia uses TOS-1 thermobaric heavy flamethrowers A LOT in this war, so either this is lawful or no one cares.

Which seems sensible until you think about all the non-English letters there can be.

April fools?

I remember how back in the day this particular feature had somewhat impressed me in this game.

In my opinion, the gamepad (assuming that it had a backup controller onboard) was one of the less questionable things on that submarine.

There's only one problem with Skype now: no one seems to be using it anymore.

I tried this code, and it cannot download the model from https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b-it-GGUF/resolve/mai... without authentication.

This is a self-destructive license: prohibition of use for "warfare" and "weapons manufacturing" basically means that the author wants the world to be conquered by whatever bad guy is stronger. At which point it will be impossible for the license to work because there will be no effective rule of law.

This tech will definitely find some good use here in Ukraine.

(2015), but great!

And be targeted by cyberwarfare from the first-world side.

Interestingly, I'm Ukrainian and my preferred language (as configured in my browser) is of course Ukrainian, but it kept me on the English version.

Some Kingston SSDs allow you to manage over-provisioning (i.e. to choose the capacity-endurance tradeoff) by using a manufacturer-provided software tool.

Military tech used to be something to frown upon, and now it's a noble thing again, almost on the same category as charity. Working harder for less to save other people's lives and freedom. At least this is how we see it from inside Ukraine now.

I remember there was time when Skype screwed up with its "log in vs sign up" UI, and many people were effectively forced to create new accounts because they couldn't find how to log in.

So, printing a counterfeit banknote is basically "proof of work" in this case!

So is this essentially DSD with a very low sampling rate?

Mainstream buyers are waiting for EVs that are not "weird cars", but simply normal cars that just happen to have EV drivetrains. We are getting there, but still slowly.

Ukraine could have been in the list if not the invasion...

There are probably (some other) risks in exposing a precise timestamp as well.
