You are assuming that some garbage off-brand bluetooth speaker allows such things. I mean, these are people so stupid as to make the default device name "Bomb" and not think through it for even half a second as to why they probably shouldn't do that.
Some, you can. It all depends on what the device manufacturer allows changing in the firmware.
Or, why would a potential terrorist put a bomb on a plane with an active Bluetooth beacon advertising a bomb, if they don't want it found pre-explosion?
The whole thing is stupendously idiotic. Even if someone built a bomb to put on a plane, they wouldn't use Bluetooth. They'd use WiFi and have it automatically connect to the in-flight WiFi SSID once it's in the air, and then use the pathetic security that allows you to download an app from the app stores to breach the router to get to the Internet.
Nobody intent on doing actual damage would have left a Bluetooth device beaconing "Bomb" because that would be pathetically stupid. Like, even more stupid than the shoe bomb guy.
Oh don't worry. We have connected aircraft now, and ESP32s are cheap!
Next time he'll name his bluetooth device "SUPER NOT A BOMB" and I'm sure he'll be just fine.
This is the first stage of the Mole People coming up to take over and declare their edict of only eating sub-surface agricultural products.
Better get to enjoy beets!
How does a surface sinkhole get caused by a change of direction in magma flow, in your mind?
That's surface erosion. Even in the case of some crazy change in Coriolis effect, it isn't going to cause a local sink hole or mud slides.
Their laptops have always been divided into high-end / low-end since the return of Jobs. Remember the eMate? the iBook? The MacBook (non-air, non-pro)?
This is nothing new. Product segmentation is how you capture more market.
Yeah, I really don't understand people that want the cheapest DAC in the universe hooked up to a 3.5mm port when USB-C is right there and allows you to plug in your own DAC that may very well be superior in every way, powered off the USB-C.
It's really not that hard.
I'm sure it was all on Hunter Biden's Laptop too. If only the FBI would have gotten it and been able to go through all the dirt, then we would have had a corruption-free administration!
September: a Dell Precision 5860 with 256GB of DDR5 and a 16-core Sapphire Rapids Xeon cost around $8000.
Today: that same config will cost over $20000. Exactly the same.
When RAM and SSD prices are inflated to the point of hilarity, nobody should be shocked that OEMs are pulling in record revenues.
Because they have had an ARM license for a long time, and want to use it?
Because ARM already has a thriving ecosystem with mature tools, due to it's ubiquitous use in mobile computing?
Few people can handle multiple computers of that wattage in their environment
Did you even read the summary, or know how ARM works?
This thing can get down to single-digit watts if the performance is not required at that moment. And it says right there in the summary that it will go up to 80W, which is basically where any desktop gaming / performance chip sits (65 - 120W).
This will consume LESS watts while delivering more performance per watt, just like their Jetson Nano and Jetson AGX platforms do against x86-64 embedded and low-wattage alternatives (i.e. AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 / V3C18 or Intel Atom)
For what it's worth, Nvidia's drivers have always sucked pretty bad, going back to the RIVA TNT2.
Their hardware has always what has carried them. There is a reason why they do so many driver releases, and the ones released a year after the initial hardware launch usually have much better performance and stability on that hardware because their drivers suck.
Nvidia has basically already solved that. We're currently creating an ODM design that uses the Jetson Nano as the SoC complex, and we attach a shitload of IO on a carrier board, including a Marvell 10Gbe switch. We are creating our own EFI and loading essentially a slimmed Debian onto it - there's a few modules we need from Nvidia for their hardware drivers / board support and that's it. Granted, we aren't loading any GPU anything because it's meant to be a low-wattage chassis controller that has *some* compute grunt if needed for self-repair and management.
It's far better than it used to be, and it's not the weird shit that Raspberry Pi and the like use. There's a real EFI interface with TPM so you can target whatever bootloader you like, and sign whatever keys you like for secure boot.
