Discomfort with new modem technology shapes frustration as no modern terminal application has ZModem support.

In theory yes. In practice no one wants to try it.

Almost every organic molecule has a mirrored counterpart, like a normal screw and a left-handed screw.

Almost none of them occur in the nature.

So we have the technology to synthesize them now, and synthesize a bacteria out of them.

But if you do that, and the bacteria escapes, all your existing medicine will be useless, so you need to re-synthesize all your antibiotics in left-hand configuration.

That typically does not happen with regular bacteria experiments, because most of what you can synthesize in the lab will be a descendant of some other well-known bacteria, which already have an appropriate medicine to treat it, and in most cases it will be effective against your new strain.

Well yes, but you still do not pay each year, this means MICROS~1 is losing profits (in their eyes, and compared to Adobe).

OEM licenses are also bad, because MICROS~1 is selling each copy of Windows for a significant discount, not for $199.99 retail price. And users can even transfer non-OEM licenses to another PC (oh horror!)

And yet, here we are. Until 2010, Microsoft would say - “What are you gonna do about it, install Linux and edit .doc files in vim lolol?”, but now users would just buy Chromebook instead.

Coincidentally, Windows did not get any new features since Windows 95 up to Windows 8, because why change the atrocious Control Panel if users are gonna buy it anyway?

So they either decided that running a device driver certification program is too expensive, or they are panicking and adding dumb shit to Windows to maintain an appearance of doing something to shareholders.

Windows has stopped being Microsoft’t core business since Windows 8 (2015), and turned into an expensive liability. The core of Microsoft business now lies in selling cloud services, compute, and Office 365 subscriptions.

The problem is - users pay for Windows only once, and not each year like all other fancy rich companies like Adobe make their users do. And the market is saturated, because Microsoft became monopoly around 1995. Every PC sold has Windows installed, and since everyone on the planet already owns one PC per person (citation needed), the sales directly depend on the birth rate.

Trying to change to subscription model was met with violent pushback from users, so they started adding advertisements to taskbar starting in Windows 10, and created a shittiest app store ever to copy Apple.

They have been trying to kill Windows ever since, but they cannot due to numerous contract obligations.

It’s hospitals not doctors. Doctors get all that money only when they run their own private practice, and life support rooms are all in big hospitals, so the money is distributed between insurance and hospital management, and doctors get paid like all other skilled workers, and probably less than scuba diving welders.

Military tech companies will be perfectly fine. They typically have 10+ year contracts, and military equipment has a huge price margin in exchange for being reliable and field-serviceable, and the main disadvantage of DIY radar is reliability (unless you also recruit the guy who built it into the army).

It will probably impact civilian market more, where the same companies will try to sell you an unnecessarily hardened machined aluminium box full of cheap Chinese electronics, camo painted for an additional ten thousand bucks.

Their next commercial offering might just be cheaper.

Ok, so, someone used an LLM do create changes. This new code is no longer under the project license it is, as you say, public domain.

Except it is, depending on code similarity. The court uses the same rules as with book plagiarism. If LLM uses exactly same code structure and only renames some variables or adds pieces of code that do nothing useful, high chances the court will declare it a derived work and enforce the license.

Radars are very much in use in Ukraine. There is a whole range of air targets besides FPV drones, there are ballistic missiles, fighter planes, bomber planes, helicopters, gliding bombs, and ships, all of which require a radar to detect.

Acoustic sensors have limited range. By the time it detects a missile, it’s already flew one kilometer away, and it’s too late to grab your AA gun. Gliding bombs are silent.

Radars have 50+ km range, and allow to shoot bombers and ships from beyond the border with expensive US-provided missiles.

Android uses mainline Linux kernel for several years already. Whatever drivers OEMs are using are provided as separate binaries.

Does D1 have only one leg attached? I don’t see any via hole that connects to the back side of the board.

It’s an installer for Termux packages. You can do the same thing manually in Termux shell, if you know the names of packages you are installing.

And yes, Termux uses Debian apt package manager.

Apollo 11 voice goes ‘4, 3, 2, 1, 0, liftoff’.

I’ll wait for Debian package to be made for this.

I can tell it’s some 32-bit millisecond counter without even opening the article. 49 days period is too specific.

And since I did not hear anything about MacOS network stack catastrophically breaking on any servers, the impact should be small.

1GB model is $45. And if you need a Linux microcontroller, Raspberry Pi Zero with 0.5 GB RAM is $15.

Honestly, 16 GB RAM in a Raspberry Pi is stupid. What are you using it for? If you want AI, you buy NVidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi won’t cut it with 4-core CPU. If you want a regular PC for office, you buy a regular PC with low-end Intel or AMD CPU for the same price. If you want a video server to plug into your TV, 1 GB RAM will be enough, and there are cheaper moddable media boxes out there. If you want a controller for your industrial equipment, you’ll be barely using half-gigabyte of RAM for your industrial spaghetti code, so you probably bought the most expensive model for your corporate writeoff money just because you could. No, it will not be more reliable and won’t work any faster. But you can run Quake 3 on your CNC lathe, which makes it totally worth the price (Quake 3 runs fine on 512 MB RAM, you could have bought Pi Zero ).
