The pilot in command can refuse an aircraft because of unresolved mechanical or technical issues, and sometimes issues that for example are fine on a clear calm day can just not be in weather. Remember that the pilots themselves are responsible for the safety of the aircraft and all passengers for the duration of the flight, so it's up to their judgement to make sure that a flight is safe.

But a fire on a plane is pretty much the most dangerous event you can have on a flight. Especially lithium battery fires since aircraft don't have the right extinguisher for them, and staff are generally trained to quarantine the fire just long enough so it can be taken care of on the ground.

Given the GFW and walls placed against foreign companies operating in China, there's a good chance that a lot of developers in China are more or less duplicating the work of what western firms do but highly localized for the Chinese domestic market. Pretty much impossible to know either.

China is heavily overseeing any OTA self driving updates

Braille typewriters are also very much like Stenography, except Braille is actually designed to replace reading & writing rather than transcribing speech.

Though Braille does use two dots for E and one for A, with mostly the same letter frequency in both it's native French and English.

Also very much surprised his keyboard didn't fit into either ASCII nor EBCDIC encoding. Granted, both of those barely existed at the time but still.

Honestly, Windows Vista was a victim of the computing landscape of the time. Virtually none of what made Vista hated was changed at all to Windows 7, except by then everyone's PC had caught up to what the OS expected or they were going to stick with XP until the bitter end.

There has been. It's mostly someone ripping out parts of Siri to make it even worse. They share desks with the one developer working on desktop macOS.

As long as there's Bash and Python support, Gentoo Prefix could as well. That's kind of the only things that are hard needed for Gentoo as Portage is written in Python and Ebuilds are Bash scripts. Bigger issue would be that the Fuchsia kernel likely isn't POSIX complete.

Afaik the Gentoo based ChromeOS is being replaced by Android.

Art of Electronics is a 1000+ page textbook and the X chapters add 500 on top of that of circuit theory. This is a 310 page guide on project management and practical application as it relates to electronics.

They are complimentary literature, not competing. Also AoE is not cheap.

GPUs do scale because they are parallel processors. Software tools like CUDA and ROCm are very specifically designed for parallel compute on GPU.

VW has always had the chance to bring more than the ID.4 and Buzz to US/CAN for a more affordable EV but they've never really done it. With BYD taking on a huge customer base, it kind of begs the question who is this for?

I could see this being an option for a car. Imagine embedding this in a headrest so passengers could listen to something different from one another.

Most people just care about their own stability and safety. For the time being, the government does just that. Getting rid of that might mean another period of local warlords vying for control.

That sounds like a pretty rural area. Your postal office is likely running personal vehicles for mail service.

Honestly depends on how tight of a ship a hospital is run. I've seen plenty of Hospital systems that have their own asset tags so they can manage preventative maintenance routines and separate tags for finding the damn things. Mostly because doing that allows them to build a paper trail. I've also seen a couple hospital systems trade some very common equipment like infusion pumps though I'm not privy to the finer details of that.

Clinics get a little dicey, since they often do not have the same resources at their disposal that hospitals do, but you are unlikely to find anything much more advanced than an ECG in there.

The problems are pretty much getting the device to cooperate with the EHR (which is hard enough already) and attaching that information consistently to every patient (even John Does that paramedics drag in). And between those two, I can't really see equipment realistically being attached to every patient in a way that's consistent enough for a court to use as evidence. There's way too much room for nurses to just screw up between all of their different responsibilities.

I don't doubt you are incorrect, but that's a response for a different conversation altogether.

Only the Android version has uBlock just fyi. Also, I've never been able to watch movies on a plane with Firefox mobile.

Gentoo user here: all the time. Worst part is that Firefox depends on NodeJS which takes a good day to compile on my 2c/4t 3250U.

crates.io does not allow a dependency of another crate to be arbitrarily deleted as per their usage policy section 'package ownership' paragraph 4.

There are still ARM offices in the US in which their work, IP, etc would be subject to export restrictions.

RISC-V is probably no different than ARM at it's core. Also, both of them are RISC ISAs.

Right now, you are far more likely to use RISC-V and not know it than to knowingly interact with RISC-V directly. For example, since about 2015, Nvidia has used RISC-V as an onboard controller for their GPUs.

Choosing RISC-V here is more about how much soverienty a country has over the IP than anything else here. The US can probably consider most-all ARM IP to be dual use technology and immediately deny use of it.

RISC-V being based out of Switzerland, the ISA being under a permissive Creative Commons license, and most software tools being FOSS is definitely why it's being adopted here. It's completely isolated from all geopolitics.

Doesn't matter that countries doesn't want F16s, pretty much any US component inside these systems means that they require US approval for the whole thing. Saab Gripens use a Swedish built version of a US powerplant, which allowed the US to deny sales of the Gripen to Colombia.

Laserdiscs/DiscoVision are analog, they can technically still work but their image quality could be heavily degraded.

Also, storage conditions can deeply affect how well a medium lasts but that's no excuse for defective discs.

A lot of NAND SSDs have controllers that pretty much take away a lot of control the rest of the system has over the actual flash cells. Pretty much any flash specific file systems are designed for embedded applications where there is no controller to perform wear leveling or TRIM operations.

Pretty much most of the benefits that could be gained by now are at the application level maybe the CPU, not the OS nor filesystem.

More like road safety. Ads are meant to be payed attention to, which is an anti feature when you are supposed to be focused on driving.

Same thing really with infotainment and requiring them for basic car functionality. Most of them suck anyways and you cannot operate a touch screen without looking at it. Stop putting climate control behind that screen.

I'd probably never buy a Ram/Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep brand car if I can avoid it. There's a reason why Chrysler joined with Fiat, then Fiat-Chrysler turned into Stellantis. And none of them are a ringing endorsement.

Euro American most likely would be the correct terminology, sort of whatever rolls off the tongue better. A lot of non-Hispanic white Americans are actually not British, but are instead a broad mix of European countries that varies depending on geography (e.g. Louisiana is very French).

Even nailing it down to XYZ country in Europe is a bit of a stretch, as the European genepool isn't the most diverse thing in the world.

Ortholinear is a standard but non-orthodox layout for keyboards. And when you see 60%, it means you are getting only the main alphanumeric section with esc often smushed into what would otherwise be the ~/` key.

With 60% keyboards, you are often using modifier layers baked into the keyboards' firmware to get back your function keys and your control block like page up
