That's the biggest thing. apt install xyz works on my N100 based box every time I expect it will, but it was always a crapshoot on a Pi. If you don't need GPIO you don't need a Pi.

They didn't give you shit. You paid them for a service. Corps are not your friends.

My cat is a sweet baby, until you pet her 1/4 inch too close to the line near her belly that's invisible and keeps moving. When you do that she turns into a furry squirming angry thing that's sharp on 5 of its 6 points.

Shit, I'm a dog person and you've got me rethinking things.

Drives do this on their own.

Is it mangosteen? I'm guessing it's mangosteen.

If a bunch of enthusiasts are simply forgetting their basic post-OC troubleshooting and causing tons of RMAs... well that's just funny.

Because it is south of Australian California, like Oregon is north of American California.

Asking a computer to create an image is fundamentally different from constructing a scene and photographing it. One is using a machine, skill, talent and creativity to create art. The other is having a machine generate art for you.

I've got a BeeLink N100 system that's just a bit bigger than a NUC, has two 2.5Gb LAN ports and came with a 512gb nvme drive. Works a treat as a Jellyfin server with TONS of processor and ram headroom. N100 is a great little chip, so long as you're not expecting i5+ power.

Given the lack of an inverter in GPT's transcript there's no AC to invert.

Power factor isn't a thing in DC and GPT appears to have assumed a DC powered fridge.

I agree. This should be called a honey sauce at best.

sploosh , 3 months ago to Technology in European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

Ford? If so I feel your pain. The controls for the ventilation in their infotainment system are godawful. The time between input and output is so long that you have to look down to hit the "button" to bring up the ventilation menu, look back to the road while it takes 2 literal seconds for the menu to pop up, then look back down to the diagram of the vents to decide what you want blowing or not blowing, hit the right "buttons" and then wait for the thing to respond and do what you asked. Meanwhile you've gone 1/4 mile at highway speeds with your eyes barely on the road.

What was wrong with a dial with all the possible vent combinations? I want the defroster on and I want hot air on my feet? That's at 7 o'clock. Just blast my face? 12 noon. It was simple, it worked. It did not require looking away from the road once you were familiar with it.

No, I drive a Volt when I drive my Volt that I own. It is not quite the rocket-powered go-kart that tue Bolt is, but it's still quicker off the line than your average can and a lot of fun to drive. Chevy's hybrids and EVs are totally decent cars that cost very little to operate.
