That would explain why my MP - not quite climate change denier David TC Davis - has been pulling a lot of duty this election.

Isn’t the GPU documented now?

There are reverse engineered docs as well: https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv

I suspect publishing pictures of under age kids is the issue. It does sound like a slightly more clubby school disco and I assume these were alcohol and drug free events with only children and vetted adults on site?

SystemReady is already a thing. When it becomes mandatory for design wins hopefully it will become more common place.

I wouldn’t say that, it’s just there is a lot in vendor kernels and little incentive to upstream stuff for older SoCs that have already shipped. It’s true Google has come around to the importance of not drifting too far from upstream and hopefully we are starting to see the results of that change in attitude.

As I understand it my colleges in the QC landing team @ Linaro spend a lot of time getting stuff into the various upstreams.

It really depends how you see the firmware boundary. You can either treat it as a set of magic numbers you load onto the hardware so it works or see it as an intrinsically programmable part of your system that you should be able to see the source code for or live without support for the device.

I run Circe in Emacs because it’s lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.

It’s certainly a bad idea to rely on conscripts to make up the bulk of your fighting force. It’s not a totally bad idea to have a population of fighting age citizens have had some basic military training and know which way to hold a gun. Countries like Finland or Switzerland have a more realistic view of what they may need to do if things ever got bad on their eastern front.

For the UK we’d have probably resorted to our nuclear deterrent before we consider putting conscripts on the front line.

Usually it’s one of those things you do when your move house. Every now and again they will send a form to confirm the entries are correct and if nothing has changed you just tick there box and send it back (or reply online). People who move a lot or bounce between two addresses (e.g. students) are usually the ones that drop through the cracks.

I didn’t know you could use mods on the steam deck. Are there any that make sorting through your inventory easier?

If the system is SystemReady then the EFI boot chain is fairly straightforward now. My current workstation just booted off the Debian usb installer like any other pc.

It’s a web of trust. If the package maintainer is doing due diligence they should at least be aware how the upstream community runs. If it’s a one person passion project then it’s probably possible to give the changelog and diffstata once over because things don’t change that fast. Otherwise they are relying on the upstream not shipping broken stuff.

This isn’t still complaining about the fact they hired an ex-policeman?

There are lots of SBCs out there but the difference really comes down to documentation and how upstreamable everything is. The Pi might not be perfect but it’s a much more reliable design to build something with than many of the other options.

They are both. There is a non profit foundation which funds the educational side and the main company which operates for a profit. I suspect the bulk of their revenue comes from the industrial side of things where the Pi makes a much better base than a lot of the half assed hacked together SBC’s out in the market.

There have certainly been mis-steps asking the way but all in all I consider the Pi to be a British success story. I guess it remains to be seen how much of the valuation goes to the founders and employees and how much is invested into their next phase of growth.

Usually when MPs defect the receiving party tries to find them a safe seat to defend come the election. Otherwise what would the point be?

I’m just getting to the end of the Dragonborn DLC before returning to continue my first run through Skyrim.

I don’t think Kamikaze’s came about until much later in the war. I’m sure a few heavily damaged planes went down taking targets with them though.

I just installed Ubuntu for my 11 year old and they could use it fine. Didn’t bother with any parental controls on the device itself (although I can ssh in if needed) because the network deals with filtering at a DNS level.

I wonder which of the many fetch tools support 24bit terminal colours.
