I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

Maybe Thriftbooks? They do offer shipping to Canada but it’s not always cheap.

I can’t change the thickness. I might try cross hatching the ground plane (suggested in the SE) and seeing how that affects the impedance as well.

It’s a USB adapter for a dock. It has a nonstandard pinout, so I made an adapter for it.

I look at the contributors on Github and check them out. I’ll check out what else they’ve worked on and maybe see if they have an account on mastodon or twitter. Maybe I’ll ask some friends if they’ve used or heard of the product, or know of the devs.

There is indeed malware disguised as OSS and you do sometimes have to vet them. I’ll skim the codebase and see if there’s anything that looks weird or funky, but that’s not perfect (like in the case of the xz) and some stuff can slip by.

What helped me understand QM was spending four years getting a degree in physics then never using it again.

Yeah in the fall, it’s the only dying-looking tree in an evergreen forest

Tbh least favorite conifer. Not even evergreen

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

This is in Canada btw

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

I use it all the time to help simplify long excerpts, giving me an introductory gist of what something says.

You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.

Learned how drivers worked and fixed a driver for an USB to I2C chip. It’s still buggy but at least it sorta works now.

Some more details: I was using a CH347 (USB to UART/SPI/I2C) and there was an open source driver that used a previous chip version. The original dev had hardcoded the bulk IO endpoints indices. The only change I had to do was just iterate over the endpoints and search for the correct ones. But at first, I didn’t understand anything about how the USB subsystem worked and how drivers were loaded. All I could tell was the USB device was correctly detected but the I2C driver wasn’t being loaded, despite proper udev rules, correct vendor/product IDs, etc.

If you have a memory-mapped peripheral where there’s a readonly register, I could see it being const volatile.
