I agree the number of attack vectors is significantly reduced in comparison to the same version of Android on a smartphone (particularly if the user is making little or no use of the music player's already limited app store). But there

I would like something like this but one thing that makes Android-based music players like this unappealing is the versions of Android they start with. When this is releases in February, Android 13 will have been out for six months. Android

I recently watched the following series of videos by Russell Barkley who I believe is one of the world's leading ADHD researchers. I think it's a good place to start because it describes the scientific understanding of what ADHD i

On a related note, I've been getting increasingly worried that we're imminently and blindly walking into a human catastrophe due to our current energy policies. I'd be interested to hear about holes that anyone here might be

For anyone thinking of using this with Linux, there are a couple of issues I've encountered with Logi Bolt with my MX Keys Mini. Getting the keyboard and a Logi Bolt USB receiver to pair on Linux was a huge PITA. (Why do I have to trus

That site links to the 2005 edition of the book The Elements of Computing Systems, but an updated edition was published in 2021. (I found the original edition excellent years ago. I'm not aware how the new edition differs, only that it

I'm not sure it's "desperately" chasing; its trajectory looks positive. For example, in the 2019 Stack Overflow developer survey[1] only 3% of professional developers reported using Rust. A year later[2] it was 4.8% and
