Then you could've posted a direct link instead of posting the front page of some shit substack that looks like memes, you stupid fuck.

Go figure a MAGA can't DIRECTLY LINK to information.

Our newer class-D amplifiers are absolutely tiny and throwing insane amounts of power. 220W per channel and 350W for the sub on mine. Needs a 36V 30A power supply to operate.

And yet you post a link with literally two fucking memes as readable content if you don't have an account.

Get fucking real.

It's a shame IMAX isn't that advanced.

I've got 800w sound system in something the size of an NES cartridge. I run three of those for surround sound off my computer.

If only sound codecs allowed for vertical positioning of audio. I'd add a fourth amp and roll 8.1 out the corners of the room.

That's what API's are for. You can run amuk all you want on the outside, then you ask the kernel for information or to take action by calling an API. There the system's code runs, which we expect will already be carefully tested and validated before it momentarily elevates privileges to do the work. If you made a stupid request, it gets ignored and control returned to you instead of crashing the kernel space. Then do whatever stupid things you like after the API return. At that point the system doesn't really care if you blow up because life will go on without you.

API's allow for "compartmentalization" of execution, and keep the dirty little fingers of random developers out of sensitive areas.

"why was it in the kernel to begin with?"

kernel changes should be tightly controlled. Not pushed out anytime a vendor has a (poorly tested) update they want to blast to the masses.

Keep outside party code out of the kernel !

"led to no changes to the law"

I thought the DMCA was the result of that whole debacle.

Not sure how this story cleared that bar. Nothing techie for the nerds, and not a name anyone here recognizes.

TL;DR: Some rich guy you've never heard of died when his superyacht sank.

"TI already produces huge amounts of ICs in Texas"

The QC in Texas must be absolute ass. One customer of mine uses a 10-pin LED driver IC from TI on the BOM. The piece of shit blows itself out fresh off the reel one out of every roughly 20 times. You aren't even pulling a full fucking amp at 48V and this thing rockets off the board, taking traces and pads with it.

No, there isn't a short. On the boards where the pads and traces survive, replacing the IC (usually) fixes the issue.

This whole presidency has just been one big grift. Being a US senator has been widely understood to be a very profitable position, but this is really the first time we've seen the oval office get turned into a money-printing machine for the sitting president.

Other presidents have suspended control of their businesses while in office to eliminate even the appearance of conflict of interest. But this one, every decision he make seems to revolve around figuring out how to funnel more money into his family and businesses.

Unfortunately, it doesn't do any good to try to "expose" him on it, he has NO shame and doesn't care what anyone sees since his appointed buddies aren't going to hinder him. He's just going to keep doing it and throw a tantrum anytime he gets blocked. And that isn't happening nearly as much as it should, since in the past even the congress-critters maintain very relaxed laws to give themselves a wide berth to grab some money. But he's just going all-in on those weak laws (and lack of willingness to enforce them) and is going to wring every penny he can out of the country and its taxpayers.

On the bright side, he's made American History class a lot more interesting. And I'm taking bets that we get a whole rack of new laws on limiting presidential abuse as soon as he gets done robbing the bank.

"Then you do this "battery swap" and get a *used* battery pack that's been god knows where. "

This is what ISO documentation standards are for.

"How many of you made a working drone at 17?"

We were making fly by wire RC planes as pre-teens in the 80s.

If it can do the 4 basic operations of arithmetic without using much of any power, you could have a simple solar calculator that pretty much never ever needs batteries and can run in some of the lowest light conditions possible if you just gave it a few caps to charge.

so now we're going to go through that again? I know, change can be good, but sometimes Apple just seems to want to change things "just because they can".

I just don't think APFS has had enough time to "stew" in the field to get a proper large list of changes and enhancements to make for it yet. They need to sit on this a few more years before making us all reformat our drives again. I want more "bang for the buck" when it comes to inconveniencing me.

Also totally OT, slashdot scrolling my window up and down while I'm typing a reply (because it wants to load a new ad) is SUPER obnoxious behavior. We spend less than 1% of our time on the Reply Composition screen - you don't HAVE to display an ad there, nobody's going to click it.

Perhaps you idiots should make yourselves aware of the dangers of the products which you buy before you whine about them doing things THEY DO BY RAW FUCKING NATURE.

Go back to school and learn about fucking lithium chemistry.
