Nukes prevented global super powers from going to war against each other for the past 80 years. Maybe the vast democratization and spread of cheap drones will prevent all these stupid little wars that have been fought since WWII. One can h

The rules need to be updated to better ensure accurate calls. If we can agree that Balogun's red card was overkill because his trip wasn't intentional then there should be a way to reverse the call. And Maradona's "hand

There are startups trying to reduce the time/cost of chip-fab. Atomic Semi is one. Most of the big players have shuttle services which one can use to put a small chip on for fabrication for not a lot of money ~ $10k for a few chips. T

Mr. Rush clearly did not watch Breaking Bad... But how did the CIA not check on whether or not he had graduated from one of the three different colleges he listed as graduating from the three different times he applied for a job at the CIA?

They voted for a proven con-man because they hated the idea of a black woman being president. US Racism - still going strong after 250 years...

I've had a Framework 13 for 20 months now. AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ 32GB DDR4. Running Ubuntu. I love it. My only complaint/request: USB-C for power should be build into the chassis and not require a modular port. You get 4 port

Seems like a shrewd move. Historically Qualcomm products were only available to the top 5 phone vendors. You couldn't even steal a datasheet... If they're serious about opening up their products to more potential customers this m

This sounds fascinating! I'd like to learn more about using AI for CAD file generation - since freecad is miserable to use! Can you share more on this?

Most people (and I'm talking 85%+) do NOT need 4wd or ground clearance. I get so tired of these excuses being trotted out by truck owners. Don't get your panties in a wad when people say you don't need a truck. I get it - YOU

I would respectfully disagree with your assertion regarding Framework laptops. Their entire business model is predicated on building computers that DO last more than a few years.... There are plenty of streaming audio amp solutions current

I'm building modular home audio speakers. Wireless, self-powered, upgradeable, repairable. Think Sonos meets the Framework laptop. Check out my prelaunch page here: https://prelaunch.com/projects/audioblocs-audi

For years I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I could upgrade my current home audio speakers without having to buy new ones?" Well after noodling on this idea for a few years I've finally cracked a solution to this prob

Finding good embedded developers is tough. I think this is a stable career path. There's a lot of "python jockeys" out there, but ask them to port something from their laptop to an MCU/MPU (think ESP32 or Raspberry Pi)

The capex build-out for the gpu's reminds me of the telecom build-out in the late 90's. So many of those companies went bust but they laid a lot of high-speed fiber before they did which we all are enjoying now. I suspect most o

I agree with your sentiments on an open platform ultimately prevailing. The hardware is still not there yet for good AR glasses (IMO). The processing power, connectivity, power, displays, etc.... just can't be crammed into an almost i

It's a classic chicken and egg economic problem. BMW doesn't make the chips/electronics that support the 48V architecture - Bosch & Continental (with NXP/TI/Infineon/Renesas as their silicon suppliers) do a

Yocto is overkill for a hobbyist. It's designed to help big companies build linux distributions for multiple platforms. It works great for companies like NXP that have the resources to devote to it, but it's a f&$cking bear

If you're looking to build a product using an embedded linux system you're better off just using an off the shelf SOM from an embedded board vendor like Toradex or Phytec (to name 2 - there are dozens out there). There are some q

The Toradex's, Phytec's, Boundary Devices, etc... of the world all do a decent job with their BSP's but just know that they pull from NXP's mainline BSP release so there is a lag in time from when NXP makes a new release
