But they can't use that specific one again, it doesn't matter if they take the bill to a bank and get new ones, because the serial numbers won't be the same.

My experience with my Google home before I unplugged it is that it would randomly kick on - even in relative silence, unless the clack of a keyboard and maybe a fan whir could be misheard as "okay Google" I would notice because it

wpa_supplicant just does the heavy lifting of connecting to the WiFi network. The WiFi device itself is handled by the kernel's brcmfmac driver, and there is the usual firmware (also requires a .txt file) or you can use something like

Are you sure? I've worked with a myriad of ARM devices, and I would say that despite their small size, Hardkernel are one of the most responsive companies when I have had issues. I say that as both a Gentoo and Kali ARM dev

I thought SoftBank is Japanese, not Chinese? SoftBank bought ARM, not a Chinese company, otherwise it would be a bit weird for ARM (assuming they're Chinese now) to cut ties with Huewai.

Just about every other board out there is just as plug and play as the RPI. I'm not saying that to downplay the RPI - the community it has around it is great, but long gone are the days of trying to get Linux running on a random arm bo

Core contributors. Not overall contributors. I should have specified but figured people could read the context based on the comment I was replying to.

The lack of contributors has a lot to do with Lennart's (apologies if I misspelled his name) attitude early on in systemd's development. I have no idea if it has changed, as I gave up trying to get things fixed. The one issue I st

Maybe they added it after you read it, but when I read the post they specifically mention it's bad and provide a link to read more on why it's bad. Sure an alternative would be great but the point of the article is to get up and r

OpenGL ES is not OpenGL though. It's a subset mostly for mobile.

While I'm not saying the guy in college wasn't a liar, there have been many MGB conversions to a V8. http://www.advanceautowire.com/mgbgtv8/ is just one that I know of. Though I only know because when I was

Anything iPhone 5 or lower will not - 10.3.3 fixed one of the issues, but 2 more exist. I do wish they would at least put out a 10.3.4 to fix the security issues, but I understand not putting the resources into a phone from 2012; I'm h

It takes only one slip up to screw your security. One targeted attack that you don't notice because you're in a rush. I love my MotoX 2013, but it never got updates (Sprint model, Sprint blamed Motorola, Motorola blamed Sprint);

How are you still getting security updates for the Nexus 5? The last security update they released was from October 2016.

I got my first computer job this way - I offered to work for free for the first two weeks, if it didn't work out, they got free labor for two weeks. They hired me by the third day. This was back in 2002 or so though, and I was still at home

There is an ebuild for it already, although it is in an overlay on github. Probably needs cleaned up but as I don't want to install QT on the laptop I'm using, I haven't looked too much at the ebuild, just noticed a few minor issues with it

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try to find some time to look into this. I know Chromium links to libudev for input device support so that it can do things like gestures, but I don't know that LightTable supports (will support?) them. I

I'm not near any machines of mine that aren't Chromebooks. Does anyone know if the libudev.so.0 stuff is fixed? I don't see any mention of it in the change log, but I was really hoping they would have a fix for those of us not on Ubuntu so

I have two Chromebooks. One with 3G, that runs the stable ChromeOS, and the other wifi only, runs ChromiumOS, latest ToT, mostly because I'm working on getting ChromiumOS to run on our hardware, so it's a bit easy to compare and contrast wh

Well typically the driver is written by the manufacturer or, more commonly, someone who DID want access to those features. What may be useless to you, or I, may be immensely useful to someone else.

I'd be interested in it, developer mode gives access to vim and ssh, which is all I need to do my job (embedded kernel development). ChromeOS is quite decent on its own, and since it's ChromeOS it would have flash and their PDF reader on it
