I’d never heard of micro OLED before. Do other headsets ship with them?

Altium is an enterprise level software that is just in a different league as kicad. Both are great products but it’s no sense comparing two very different products. I’ve never personally seen a company seriously use Kicad. I’m sure it’s possible but it’s not a tool you want your company to depend on. I find it hard to believe altiums ‘most commonly used’ claim. Maybe cadence just isn’t as worried about marketing? Haha.

I’m pretty sure much more damage is done yearly by fires started by PG&E but no one seems to constantly bash California’s power company. The focus on ERCOT is most certainly because of politics at least on Reddit and WaPo etc where we see the most noise.

Noise barriers aren’t a ‘US’ thing. It would be up to the local state or county or city to build them so your results may vary. If you catch yourself saying ‘the US does this or that’ then reconsider the question bc the US doesn’t ‘do’ anything one way or another. It’s a collection of 50 states and thousands of localities.

We often put up noise barriers around highways in the US. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Since when? It may not be a good argument but should we be deplatforming people over it? Go to Reddit front page right now and try to find something that isn’t a poorly argued political post. What’s the difference? Just because you may disagree with someone it doesn’t mean they NEED to be silenced.

I mean there was a very sizable group that saw the mistakes in real time. Not necessarily the medical mistakes but the censorship mistakes. I’m not sure how anyone can know what to do in an uncertain situation like that but being unable to question authority isn’t good for most societies.

For firmware development I’ve done automated testing with the hardware on a fixture connected to JTAG, uart, and DAQ. It worked pretty well but every once in a while I’d have to press a button or something that the fixture couldn’t.

Matter is based on thread which is full IPv6 I believe and thread has been around a while.

As others have pointed out you seem to wrong on every account lol.

Apple Card is not Apple Pay. You seem to be the only one confused about that not ‘USians’.

It's hilarious (in a way) seeing EUians comment on Americans.

The least believable part of your story is that the recruiter could somehow understand the tech and steal it

Can you explain how the halting problem applies here?

Dumb appliances still have firmware on their microcontrollers to control things like wash program, indicators, sensor feedback, you name it. Making a full functioning appliance without the micro would incur huge engineering and BOM costs that can be replaced with a $0.50 micro.

Do you honestly believe UT spends money on its sports? You realize their football team generates BILLIONS a year in sales and TV rights? Football isn’t why UT is overcrowded lol

As others have said, it’s now 7%. I’ve also gotten the bill 2 YEARS LATER! That’s two years of interest added. It still took another year to resolve it bc it’s quite literally impossible to call the IRS and the only way I could communicate was over fax with months long delays lol. So trust me you don’t want to go that route. Btw why are people paying for turbo tax???? For years I’ve been using free services such as credit karma tax (now cash app) which allow me to file complex forms like schedule C and stuff all for free. If you’re paying for anything it better be a CPA not TurboTax lol.

Yea people are going to hate Tesla because of musk or bc they’re always in the news. I’m not saying that there isn’t valid criticism it just seems that they’re held to a totally different standard than other companies. People really enjoy taking a moral stance against them like you’re doing but it really seems like an overreaction.

My home assistant runs on 5-10W power. Nothing it does requires a lot more electricity than a light bulb.

huge burden on natural resources

Can you explain? I don’t see how sending data to the cloud is a huge burden compared to say an EV or your AC unit.

The last president ran on stopping ILLEGAL immigration. There was nothing stopping the continued legal immigration process to the US.

Who says there’s no such thing as a slippery slope? I can’t tell if your serious… this is dangerous levels of ignorance.

How does this get shoehorned into every thread?

Not trying to be snarky but… those happen literally every year.

Oh that’s a funny read. Somehow 2023 is the closest we’ve ever been to global catastrophe? I’m not saying it’s out of the question this year but those jokers really think now is worse than at any point in the cold war? Really? Well you know what they say about broken clocks…

What are you trying to say here?

This isn’t a narrative I’ve seen in conservative media. Kind of ironic to bring up echo chambers after that lol.

EE here: micros are cheaper than 555s and discrete lol. Not many bother with them when we can toss a micro in for pennies. I agree with the sentiment tho that this whole argument sounds like when programmers bash others for not using REAL programming languages like C! Python is overkill why don’t you write this in assembly!?

Realistically you will need to use an RTOS for threads and scheduling on a micro.

The jackboot of hypercapitalism pressed against their own throats…

Tech workers are the most privileged class of workers in the whole world. No one will take you seriously when you say these things. Also the metaphor doesn’t make sense. I wish we could keep this Reddit style, front page politics off our tech website.

Heat pumps are very common in the US. That part isn’t really a challenge.
