Re:OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @05:56AM (#48815648)
Does it have WiFi 7? If so, list the details please.

Why choose this over the https://openelab.io/a/s/products/banana-pi-bpi-r4-pro-1 ?

Re:OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @05:51AM (#48815615)
Unfortunately the Flint 4 is still not available which lead me to get the https://openelab.io/a/s/products/banana-pi-bpi-r4-pro-1 instead.
Re:OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @05:50AM (#48815609)
Is this actually stock OpenWRT?

I mean is it supported by vanilla OpenWRT image?

I do like the board though.

Re:OpenWrt One – Open Hardware Router on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @05:49AM (#48815602)
Frankly I just want https://openelab.io/a/s/products/banana-pi-bpi-r4-pro-1 to work with OpenWRT.

The board linked to in the post doesn't have 10 G LAN, only 10 G WAN unlink. So what do people who have a 10 G internet connection do?

Thank you!

I've been looking for a WiFi 7 router that has SFP+ ports for a while now and it seems what you mentioned is just that.

For anyone interested please see https://www.turris.com/en/products/omnia-NG/.

Re:Run Linux containers on Android, no root required on Thursday April 09, 2026 @01:18PM (#47706405)
Yeah, it is controlled by the vendor. If you can't find the option, you will need to use `adb` to enable it that's what I did basically. You can Google it and you'll find what I'm talking about. IRC, it is `pm enable ...`.

Werner Vogels is awesome. I first discovered about his writing when I learnt about Dynamo DB.

Ask HN: Enabling Non-Protected VMS for Android Terminal for Samsung S26 Ultra

Hi All,Summary: What would it take to enable non-protected VMs on the Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip that ships on the Samsung S26 Ultra? I can't just wait for them to enable it. Please point me in the right direction of research.The error is the same as reported at https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/s/8vtrnCD1wR.1. Is this a physical hardware limitation?2. Why wouldn't Qualcomm enable it?3....

( Read More... | no comments | on HN )
Wait hold on, can you not simply just access the underlying volume/block device using an API? The VMs in OCI have a boot volume that is attached, so I reckon it's possible to "mount" this somehow and overwrite it with whatever data you want.

Re:Getting serial port output on modern Macs on Sunday December 21, 2025 @08:33AM (#46344729)
Nice write-up.

I wonder if something similar exists for the Snapdragon X Elite-based Microsoft Surface 7 laptops but is simply undocumented. There's a post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44426428 (The hidden JTAG in a Qualcomm/Snapdragon device’s USB port) obviously about a hidden JTAG, so I begin to wonder.

If someone more experienced with these sorts of things could chime in that would be great.

Interesting ... Do you still maintain the site?
I was going to say the same thing.

I really like the eBPF approach as pointed out to by the other comments. I feel like this is the ideal approach, please correct me if I'm wrong.

A callback based approach as opposed to (constantly) polling the output of some command is ideal.

I am missing something or do these fonts not support small caps and old style numerals?

Re:Ask HN: What projects do you donate to? on Saturday May 31, 2025 @03:08AM (#44142487)
Great question!

In the past I contributed to rust-analyzer - not much but something huge but at least something.

Nowadays I only contribute to https://quran.com.

Apologies if this ain't clear but I'll give it a shot.

I will donate to anyone, be it a group or one person if they can get all the different ways of reading رواية The Quran:

1. In static digital version, i.e., as PDFs or what have you in the Saudi script. 2. All the Quran's should be colour coded, i.e., tawjeed style mushaf. 3. It should be available online at first then to Android, etc. 4. Along with the Qur'an there should be readings of that style رواية in application. Shaykh Mishary is doing this but I'm quite why he doesn't just release his entire recording out all at once on YouTube.

I just what to say this isn't an easy tasks hence why I haven't attempted doing it. Or I can simply build a well and retire with life.

If something ain't clear let me know.

Regards, - Bana

Ever been to Dubai? Left your keys in the door of your car and came up and saw your keys in the car door unopened with everything still left intact? Well that's this is aiming for. Simply fuck all the complexity of everything that is going 9n on.

Oh and for the record capital punishment should still get allowed - it no longer is in the UK.

Re:Compiling C to Safe Rust, Formalized on Saturday December 21, 2024 @04:11AM (#42478433)
Can something like `C2Rust` then use this to generate formally correct code?

Also, is much of the authors did manual or was it run through something to produce the Rust code? If so, where is the code that generates Rust, I do not see any links to any source repos.

Re:Invention to Impact: The story of LASIK eye surgery on Saturday June 15, 2024 @06:41AM (#40688857)
Are you attempting to fix it?

I am tempted to get a contact lense inserted into one eye to correct it.

I think I developed it as due to Lasik, but it only occurred in my left eye. My right eye is still good.

I love the typography on the site. What fonts are you using? I'm on a mobile browser so I can't really see.
