@Strandjunker It is so weird just how hard it is for anyone to just straight up say it. And let's be clear, he's now encouraging domestic terrorism and even trying to start a civil war in hopes of being installed as a dictator and yet again far too few are willing to actually state it.
@Gargron I feel like we should be able to go to profile settings and type it in a block configuration rather than going into an account or something, but at least it's easy enough to search up an account. I just typed in threads.net in my instance search box and clicked the first account, lol.
Warning to everyone, Microsoft is apparently planning to backport "CoPilot" to Windows 10, despite the fact its support ends in less than two years. Up until now they've tried to make "features" (like DirectX versions) exclusive to try to force people to upgrade whether they want to or not. In other words, they see big money in this. That almost certainly comes at the expense of users with phoning home with info, targeted ads/sales, etc.
@feditips Anything "more conventional" that includes the part explaining why they need to switch and what makes the Fediverse so different (and better) than those networks they're staying tied to? Language aside, Saunders explained those things really well.
@georgetakei Imagine being so completely over-the-top obsessed with being far right extremist that you actually honestly believe a long running cartoon series deciding not to continue to depict a child being strangled is just "being woke" or "liberal snowflake" or whatever.
At this point these people need to see a psychiatrist.
@darth@freemo Yeah, these things do sound like they're way beyond what an Arduino-like device like the RP2040 would be good for. I could see it maybe slightly adapting networking say from one type to another, but not handling the whole process.
I still think it's very strange to see that temperature for an idle on a RPi ZeroW though. Even in a case running other equipment. Unless the case itself is reaching ~60C, which would be bad... I still think either a faulty sensor or faulty hardware
@freemo@darth It really depends on what is needed, but I think they said it was acting as a networking interface or something which sounds to me complex enough it may fall under the SBC requirement of things. Regardless, I don't really think this is the answer. As I said, the RPi ZeroW should not be idling that hot even in an enclosure. One way or the other I think something is up and solving that aspect may be more important. (You don't want even old PC hardware running > 60C minimum!)
@freemo@darth Maybe, but there is a world of difference between a simplistic Arduino-style device and a single board computer. The SBC is essentially a whole (albeit weak) computer, whereas the Arduino is a device with much more simplistic capabilities. You can't even use the same code. It depends on what it's doing. Handling a keyboard is a great task for an Arduino-like device and bad for a SBC, and conversely running LAN firewall/NAT is great for a SBC and not viable for an Arduino.
@darth@freemo Something is up with that. They shouldn't run that hot at idle even as it is, but especially not refusing to go lower. One thing I'm wondering here: is it possible the temperature sensor itself is simply inaccurate? Have you touched the SoC? At 60+C it should very definitively feel hot to the touch. (Well, ideally you'd want to use an infrared thermometer, but assuming you don't have one, touch should be enough to tell if it's *THAT* hot.)
@Polychrome What is actually going on here? It looks initially to be Windows 9x?
I guess the Xbox being basically just a PC other than the lack of standard BIOS and such, I can certainly see it being able to run such things, but I never heard of anyone putting Linux or Windows 9x on one for some reason. Then again, I mostly used mine with XBMC (eg Kodi today) and hardly even played games on it, lol.
@feditips@tvler I feel like Nintendo might take exception to it being called that complete with even the same stylization and all. Though, on the other hand, it also would serve as a reminder that they didn't bother implementing a modern version if it and it makes people sad because it was a neat feature.
@luckytran Based on how the world handled COVID-19, I think if anything even worse comes out that may just be it for humanity. Of all the stupidest possible reasons to go extinct, we apparently pick stupiding away. At least an asteroid could be argued to be technologically difficult to prevent, but all we have to do with disease is test, isolate, and take basic precautions around each other. That's literally it.
@thomasfuchs Oh, I see a bunch of things wrong with this thing. You should send it to me to work on. I promise to get it back to you eventually. Probably.
😁 J/k, but, anyway, really nice stuff there. I can't afford to do a proper real retro system anymore, but just about any one of these would be amazing to have. I think I'd especially like that MU80. I always loved the sound of Yamaha XG for gaming back in the day. (Yeah, I know, it's meant for musicians, but it sounded good.)
@thomasfuchs I truly can't understand what is even going on in people's heads at this point. When SARS-CoV-2 first was discovered I thought we'd all do a proper lockdown, tracking, etc etc like any sane species with an average IQ higher than a brick would do. But lockdowns all ended early, testing was virtually non-existent, there was zero tracking, etc. It never got under control and now it's basically permanent. As a species humanity can only be called insane right now.
I keep hoping to use the social networks for something else. I'd really love to talk about games, music, etc etc. But somehow it always turns political. Don't follow me if you don't want to see potentially either or completely at random.
