Thankfully most everything lily-go throws on their boards is pretty generic and generally adafruit has an equivalent feather wing or some such, and you can use their documentation to figure out how to get your lily-go stuff working with a bit of time spent cross referencing schematics and code.

The helium company charges miner manufacturing partners $40 a unit in order to generate the required private keys for their miners to be able to join the network.

As soon as I found out I couldn't stand up my own DIY helium miner and start providing coverage and making money I became entirely disinterested.

They don't need to do a traditional ICO to grift.

In order to join the network and start mining, you've got to buy $80 worth of gear from some company marked up to $600. That company then has to pay $40 to the Helium company in order for them to generate private keys that let your miner join the network and start making money.

Helium is just https://network.fon.com/ on a different frequency + a bunch of unneeded crypto bullshit that hides the grift.

Call me when I can stand up my helium miner based on open source hardware and software and make money using that.

Im still happily running an xserve raid in the basement.

If you throw in startech ide to sata adapters, theres just enough room to shove a 2.5" sata drive into the 3.5" sled along with the adapter.

All the buildings in Samsung's digital city in Suwon have their lunches organized by floor. It is verboten to go to the cafeteria before the lights on your floor dim, indicating it is now your floors turn. The cafeterias, while huge, aren't large enough to accomodate everyone going at the same time.

Basically a company that attempts to collect as many patents as possible to weaponize

You've more or less explained IBM. You cant come at IBM because their patent portfolio is so vast, they you're bound to be doing something that infringes on some patent they have.

When I working there you wouldn't get promoted from being an IC to a manager unless you had at least 10 patents to your name during your tenure there.

Windows 10 LTS is all fun and games until you've got a samsung laptop, where the only supported way to load all the drivers is through their app on the Windows store, which does not work/isnt installed on LTS.

Honestly though, not having my hardware volume keys work is a small price to pay for not having the regular windows 10 garbage.
