It is possible they delayed this rise as they didn't want bad news in the run-up to going public; but the is absolutely no way this can touch their fundamental numbers.

Yes a very fun FPGA project; but you will end up more expensive and more power hungry then a Pi Zero W which is more or less perfect for this use-case.

Driving HDMI is way harder then you would guess; extremely fast timing to hit. A naive framebuffer alone won't fit in RAM, whilst not strictly needed it would make it a hard challenge.

Resetting Xbox 16 days ago

The writing was on the wall for Windows two decades ago; I am more impressed they dragged it out this long. It was probably decisions around 2010 in the lead up to the Xbox One that have now eventually killed them.

Generic inkjet cartridges (including the nozzles) and ink are readily available. The head movement and is easier then a 3d printer, the will be some learning's for the paper handling but seems very achievable to me.

The color change of the button shows you succeeded in pushing it. If you don't do this instantly most people are conditioned to try again. This is especially valuable for people with reduced motor control. It is completely independent of whether that push is a useful input given the current state of the software. Obviously when well written software knows it can't accept the input it should have disabled the button, and even moderately well written software needs to provide a near instant feedback that the action is processing or has been cancelled.

As with everything it depends what you class. If you went on raw number of games you only really count Mobile/Steam slop. If you correct for most played games then Roblox, Candy Crush, Minecraft, PUBG, LoL, Fortnite these are all games that owning the disc doesn't guarantee anything. If you count AA/AAA releases on PS5 it seems unlikely that most discs will ever be unplayable (though I think that is always at Sony's and the publisher's whim)

Are you asking for the president to make a snap decision undermining the authority of the Academic Code Committee? How to teach and test students who have to start work under the current AI frenzy let alone who will still be working alongside whatever it becomes in forty years is an extreammly under-researched and unanswerable question. Even an interim answer will require the full consideration of the faculty and beyond; a good leader facilitates that not replaces it. Yes the should probably _some_ discipline for students who broke the rules written in a past and very different world; but I certainly would not want to hire any who didn't challenge them.

However clever/stupid you believe LLMs are they are extremely capable of working around these sorts of restrictions. The ask is for .env files for whatever code you are writing so if the code it writes dosn't have access (i.e. filesystem/container) what is the point, if the code under development reads the env how dose codex debug it without accedentally reading the values from memory? Adding a security setting that dosn't work is much worse then not having one.

OAuth for all 28 days ago

AWS do exactly this. An example use-case is IAM can grant permission to update a Lambda to a Github action running in a given repository.

Yes, I wasn't criticising just saying a large company who will also be taking a 30% rake on most software run on it is not passing on any bulk purchasing discounts. For some it will be well work the convenience, for me it is not (but the Deck was).
