I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

I haven’t felt good about that company since.

Including medical privacy. The forced birthers can fuck right off about knowing my wife’s menstrual cycle.

That is still unparalleled with CUDA.

I still don’t understand how an open source alternative with better hardware support hasn’t happened yet.

A whole bunch of the companies that boomed died though.

Anyone remember bigwords.com? Or pets.com?

The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.

Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.

My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.

The costs count though, and most of the population lives there.

If it was encoded as super low framerate 360deg video files and you just seek to the place in the stream that matches the coordinates, it could use kits stage and bandwidth than other solutions, but it’s still going to be a lot of bytes.

Is it that, or is it because they’re still using old pirated copies of XP everywhere, so they don’t have to worry about broken updates?

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

I’m gonna look into that, we have an old kindle collecting dust that would be a good candidate I think!

Well I do like FDAs, and roads though. But I’d rather have healthcare as well, and I’d like way less of it to go toward it cops and wars. Mainly I want a lot more of the taxes coming from the billionaires.

Low income American here, upwards of 24% of everything I make.

Me too, the Facebook files were a big deal in the first few weeks after his takeover too (once the overwhelming news about layoffs and brain drain subsided).

That’s what [sic] is for though. You fact check, and then leave the quote as the press release had it.

The problem is that most of these articles are basically reprinting of the press release without any editorial additions at all.

I’ve been recently bingeing Look Mum No Computer’s rescue/re-build/midi-fication of an organ that had been shoehorned into an organist’s home, after the church had been converted. I’m more of an engineer than musician, but it’s amazing how much goes into the layering of sounds from so many different pipes.

My 6 yo loves learning with such a cool soundtrack too.

That’s amazing sounding! Worth the watts, even if I did get church ptsd listening to it.

Oops thanks, I must have missed it when I looked.

I’ll check out the repo when I’m back in front of a computer later.

Add Haier to the list. They’re threatening Homekit devs and issued a takedown on a GitHub hosted HVAC controller for their units. Citing it hurting their income (I assume they mean data mining income when you stop letting them monitor your appliances online).

The dev is looking for a lawyer to consult, and wants to fight, so has probably not got any copyright infringing code in his repo.

Oh and for boycotting purposes, they sell appliances under the brands: Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua and Candy.

Sounds like Drunk Muppet History to me. Why not?

It’sa really small looking nail, hopefully it’s just a funny angle.
