Wide display: perfect for reading A4 documents

keyboard: nicer to type. Also, the passport was as wide as, well … , a passport so it is a pretty decently sized keyboard which isn’t comparable to the tiny Q10.

The passport was never meant to be a generic for the masses device. It is a beautiful specialized tool.

This device has a tiny touchscreen, and a keyboard, rather than having the whole thing being a touchscreen.

That’s awesome. I still miss my Blackberry Passport (keyboard and large 1:1 screen).

Also, what if this is an actual viable way to “market” for an open-source project?

I am fortunate enough to not market my stuff:

If somebody finds and can make use of it. Great.

In the other case who cares? Didn’t hurt or cost me anything to publish it.

Fake GitHub stares have other implications: Typosquatting is a real issue and fake stars make it more convincing that it is the genuine project.

If you want an new SBC: Intel N100 for as low as $60 with 4GB DDR5 RAM.

The raspberry pi isn’t a hobby/consumer product anymore. 2020 has shown that the Pi Foundation sees itself as an industry-first product. Also don’t forget that they went public a few months ago so who knows what will come out of this step.

Let’s face it: Intel driver support is great maybe even better than it is on a Raspberry Pi and proprietary is both hardware.

We want a true black-dark mode for OLED. This missing feature is holding me back from going 100% Firefox on mobile (I am only using it for horrible websites that are asking fo the ublock origin treatment.

MCUs can run Linux.

I don’t use Espriff products so no idea if it is available for the ESP32.

For Germean voters there is the WahloMat to help with the voting choice (a dozen of questions and in the end shows how much overlap there is with all the parties): https://www.wahl-o-mat.de/europawahl2024/app/main_app.html

The major issue is that if you care about CopyRight: Party A. Easier to comply with regulation: Party B. Migration: Party C. Environment: Party D.

And all of the choices (A-D) have some very removed, prominent positions that you strongly oppose and in the end, have no clue what to elect and choose the least worst option and hope for the best.

They used 1 resistor for CC1 and CC2. The fix and correct implementation was to use one resistor per CC-line (two in total).

The issue was they didn’t direct the stock to the industry. They directed the stock to large customers and the small companies had no inventory at all for years or were squeezed (by the market) to the limit with a Pi4 going for $200 and more instead of $50.

The Pi CEO already went out in an interview and was like we did the right thing and would do it again. As such it was pathetic (to me) when they launched the Pi5 and were like community first. To be honest, they probably know that they need initial community support/software packages to sell it to their primary customer: Big companies.

I agree that the 3B+ was the best Pi but for other reasons:

• The Pi 3B+ had the perfect balance between performance and price with the performance being good enough at the time.
• Design flaws at launch. Remember the Pi4 CC1 & CC2? POE getting pulled from the market?
• Pi5: 5V 5A USB-C??? There is now 45W USB-PD (@15V) that would be compatible with generic PSUs but they went proprietary with 5A@5V.
• They put big customers first and let everybody else starve during the shortage. This forced me to alternatives and I have to say they work just as good and cost less.
• Jacking up retail prices: Even Intel x86 is now cheaper than a Raspberry Pi.

To keep alive the community that maintains the packages that businesses use? /s

There are a few things you won’t forget and the last years were one of those events. Thankfully the competition made leaps forward regarding software support.

Do you remember FTDI-gate 1 & 2 (approx. 1 decade ago)? I do and FTDI never made it back onto my BOM and probably never will again, at least until SiliconLabs, WCH, and Holtek screw it up.

DRM kept me away from streaming services.

Since my devices didn’t had the required DRM level, I could only get 360p with my paid abo. Paying for potato quality if there are alternatives in fullHD or 4k? Pretty bad sales pitch.

Wood stoves are a major problem. As soon as it gets cold in Germany, air pollution rises from below 5µg/m^3 to 20-100 µg/m^3 and stays there for months (in this particular area).

Well … I think the Middle East wants to enter the chat. Multiple wars, multiple revolutions, and multiple plagues.

Depends. If you are talking to Asia or US just referring to yourself or a place as EU is the best option. Same goes for technical documentation. There is for example “EU machine directive” which would trigger the block list.

EU? That would be like banning USA.

Probably not. The brand reputation could be best summed up as sect.

While the car might be reliable but they are objectively anti-right to repair causing issues for the consumer and they need to build dozens before being reliable:

With VW you can get (most) software, order VW parts overnight or OEM and third-party parts within 2-3 days. At the same time, I hear that some Tesla repairs take months and workshops are 1-2 hours drive away …

Build quality is clearly not a strong point of Tesla. If you wouldn’t know one might suspect the car had an accident before (gap dimensions all over the place). I think Tesla is also the only car where it is strongly recommended to perform wheel alignment on a new car.

IOT? Don’t worry. Edge AI is now AIOT (AI IOT)
