For fun parts you can get an NXP LX2160A board from SolidRun (or the earlier Marvell Armada8k one). The performance wouldn't be competitive (Cortex-A72 is really old by now) but it's nice to have a proper arm64 desktop.

The P650 core is compared to Cortex-A77 (while Neoverse-N1 is an offshoot of A76), but N1 is from 2019. P650 is still in the "dev kit somewhere in 2022" stage, while the new Neoverse-N2 is in the "AWS is letting EC2 customer

dtb is for embedded devices. Server/workstation class hardware uses ACPI.

The big shortage seems to be in microcontrollers and power ICs, not the kind of stuff you'd want to fab on TSMC. Putting an STM32 onto N7 would be nuts.

Highly doubt that this will reduce the amount of mining in the world. Eth miners will mostly just switch to a different shitcoin. As long as BTC is dominant, mining will keep wasting gigatons of power. And how exactly would anyone dethrone

The demand from gaming & workstation & datacenter is absolutely huge , revenue would not fall without buttcoiners because the GPUs would still fly off the shelves. In fact buttminers create a new risk for the vendors: whenever butt

After git itself – patch-based systems like pijul. But it won't be easy to overcome the inertia. Git is just that popular.

Windows handles not holding onto the inode is a major, MAJOR pain in the ass. I hate the fucking "file is busy, try again?" dialog so fucking much.

Major versions of Gtk are, for all intents and purposes, different toolkits entirely. They are always parallel-installable, they don't conflict with each other.

The de-facto standard for dependency discovery is pkg-config. CMake being its own little world with its own finding system is annoying and part of the reason why the ecosystem has not migrated from autocrap to CMake en masse. Thankfully Mes

But that CPU shouldn't really do anything other than shoveling raw sensor data to flash as fast as possible. All the processing can happen on your workstation (or an iPad or whatever).

Is on-chip flash really that much more vulnerable to glitching than on-chip RAM, the CPU registers, etc.?

GPUs are often the easiest to recover actually – boot with another GPU, keeping the screwed-up one plugged in – it will still be flashable, just run atiflash or whatever. Also, high end "gamer" hardware often includes "dual B

The screw hasn't been a thing for years, you prove ownership by sitting there for like 15 minutes pressing the power button when told :D But it's a lot more than just "go ahead". For stock users: enabling dev mode wipes

Come on, that's not a real problem ;) As someone who had a Clojure phase about 9 years ago: the actual problem with modern Lisps is that they don't really offer a big set of unique good features. The basic functional map-filter-re
