> Yes, make the battery 2x bigger and include the compute in that. You can't move the compute away in a headset. I have worked for an XR OEM, and when you are designing a headset, you want the compute to be as close as possible from

Yes, I stopped reading here: > $12 on the front. Whole-network compromise on the back. Too bad since the topic on its own seems very interesting.

Mine is from 2013. There is no longer map updates for the built in nav system. So I bought an Android auto / Car play module that integrates with the car touch screen. Now I have up to date maps and navigation for ever. :)

Like the author, we self-host our git repos at work with Gitea, and it's working very well and brings a rather large set of features you'd expect from a GH alternative. A great thing is that it's almost fully compatible with

A few years ago, I started again to attend regularly to concerts, and often in small / mid size local rooms, with an audience from perhaps 50 to a few hundred people. Those are much more meaningful to me than those giant stadiums where

When I studied compiler theory, a large part of the compilation involved a lexical analyser (e.g. `flex`) and a syntax analyser (e.g. `bison`), that would produce an internal representation of the input code (the AST), used to generate the

That is also my feeling, at least from a part of the GrapheneOS community. I have seen them despising and bullying /e/OS, Debian, F-Droid, the Linux kernel... Too bad for this project, that is amazing, to have such toxic folks. Op

If only UX/UI people spent their time optimizing their code rather than polishing their animations. Sorry for this rant, but hell, the web, the apps, everything is so sloooow and bloated. Make it instant! I just want to do my things, n

Not really, despite the repo being named MentraOS, this repo seems to include only some mobile apps (that either run on a phone or on the glasses), some server code, and some SDKs. Mentra glasses are likely running on a fork of AOSP, which

I found this Raspberry Pi Zero based bike computer project: https://github.com/hishizuka/pizero_bikecomputer This seems pretty nice in terms of features, but would probably need a bit of polish.

I can also recommend git flight rules: https://github.com/k88hudson/git-flight-rules It saved my work a couple of times.

Right, most probably closed-source just like Android wear. Even manufacturers may not have access to the source code, they would just put their stuff in the vendor partition. A good friend of mine works for a manufacturer that make watches

What about several thousand engineers for Twitter then? =) Regarding WhatsApp, I would say that 35 engineers is OK. Not so much, but not so few also.

I would argue that EVs are just the tip of the iceberg. >The race is on to decarbonize road transport and get drivers to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). Actually the race is on to decarbonize all the things (at least here in France).

In the 00s, my dad had an issue with the infotainment system of its Peugeot 407 that would no longer boot. An official Peugeot mechanic told him that it would cost something like 4200€ to replace the unit, so he asked me if I could have a l

Or maybe it is to disambiguate "vert chaud" (hot green) and "verre chaud" (hot glass) that are pronounced the same way. =)

My kids have the Cars movie version of the Mille bornes. In my mind, the Cars design ruins the whole game, it's no longer special to me. Plus it's really hard to tell the card types without looking carefully at the small logos in

It's just that Android might be too much "heavy" for the actual hardware. I don't have any details, sorry. That's what I heard when I was working there.

I was not an employee so this could not be really accurate but, I would say: - There was way too much bureaucracy. - Software, security, design choices were decided by some kind of committee that didn't have sufficient expertise. - Com

I worked as a contractor at Parkeon/Flowbird, on the next version. IIRC, this one is called N² and runs a headless Android on a limited hardware, which explains the slowness of this thing. The next version (called streetsmart) on which

I worked for a while as a contractor for Parkeon/Flowbird, and asked about the keyboard layout to a hardware manager there. His explanation was that they did not use AZERTY or QWERTY because it wouldn't work for foreigners.

The good news is that most of the maintenance can be DIYed with a few inexpensive tools. Replacing tires, inner tubes, or brake pads is not really complex. Cleaning and greasing the chain is also easy, but must be done regularly to preserve
