Did you fly further than the headline?

> The O1 drone weighs 1 pound and can fly up to 10 kilometers, which is a little more than 6 miles, for over an hour, according to a company fact sheet.

I saw the URL and immediately thought it was about Acid Pro DAW or Vegas video editor is used to use back in the early 00’s.

I’ve heard that before but all searches come up completely blank, unsurprisingly

I can’t imagine using a dishwasher with limited power?

So… the major manufacturers, which operate across different continents with notoriously uneasy geopolitical tensions, are secretly operating a silicon cartel?

No, the foundries are just redirecting production to HBM, which is in much higher demand.

They might be confusing X, which is a subsidiary of SpaceX. The IPO was just a vehicle to pay off X’s debt.

In the same way they famously invested 10% in Intel, which has proved volatile at best?

I thought there might be some kind of hash or signature, but I’m assuming that can be forged along with the main payload?

> We recommend that you upgrade your apt packages.

Is there a German word for a broken tool that can only be fixed by using the same broken tool?

That’s like saying Apple didn’t listen to the market when it deliberately avoided going all in on a solo AI play.

It’s not all about what you think consumers think they want. There are other more pressing factors, like ability to deliver and supply chain management which have strategic impacts in the longer term.

Like most bold claims about security, it omits a whole swathe of controls that allow that to happen.

Maintenance, capacity management and spares all add up, not to mention labour. If they have a requirement to maintain geographical diversity then that moves the needle significantly if they’re primarily based on the other side of the country.

It’s entirely possible the battery controllers are running linux too

Certification do exist for engineers, and various industries and governments impose their own certification programs on platforms and software before they’re authorised for use.

Each with varying degrees of trust. The outcome is never perfect, but that’s not their purpose.

Unless you build from scratch, and white box stores suddenly start selling a 48v version of every standard household appliance (with industrial supply chain to support that market), inverters are not going anywhere.

The only place it makes sense is personal tech and computing, where USB chargers are cheap and ubiquitous, with technology replacement in 2-5 years instead of 5-10 for standard appliances.

I initiated some small talk with a guy at a security conference once. Turned out he was an ink DRM expert at one of the big companies.

Interesting convo but I didn’t invite him to drinks later that evening.

But you can do that. You can go and root it with a fork. You just won’t run banking apps on it, because it introduces undue risk that they don’t want to absorb.

This ‘all or nothing’ attitude in the comments is a bit silly to be honest.

What exactly are you referring to?

One involves illegitimate benefits to someone in a position of power or authority.

Bribery applies to people in power or authority.

It’s not a ‘sneaky way of avoiding vulnerabilities going public’, it’s a responsible disclosure agreement between two consenting parties.

He provided this response to one of several questions on instagram asking when the next video would be released:

> “trenton.edly 11w • @cianocadhla I would like to take my time to make this series as high quality as I can, however I have many incentives to release this as fast as possible. The 2nd video is getting closer to being finished but I will be waiting to release it once YouTube approves monetization shortly”

There is too much gold and copper in the ground to even consider deforestation and self determination

After all of the agonising about AI companions, we realised that we just wanted someone to play games with.

Flashing the bios takes ten minutes with a thumb drive. It’s hard to get wrong but guess some people would be nervous enough about that to pay $20 extra.

A negative example could be: ‘That scumbag Derrick poached my best employees.’

I know that, but how does that adversely affect the customer, who does not pay for browsers.

Forgive my ignorance.

How is the iOS engine requirement considered a monopoly?

Most people know what poaching means without making that association. It’s a perfectly legitimate term across all forms of employment, in both negative and positive contexts.

Do we also need to retire ‘head hunting’, because it brings to mind cartoonishly outdated notions of savagery?

My university ran its render farm across idle workstations using the screensaver back in early 2000. Same concept.
