My little project for today is sort of hardware hacking of Chinese Aubess WiFi switch with power monitor so I can reflash it without desoldering anything. :)

Is there a way to run it on Vulkan?

Well, I feel you very much about Python! Also was coding in plenty of languages for past 30 years (assembly, pascal, C, D, java, visual basic, typescript, C++, and so on and so for) and every now and then I wonder if that aversion of mine towards indentation based languages (python, nim) comes from lack of enough flexibility of my mind/aversion towards training my brain to use and recognize different coding way or it is simply because it not ergonomic enough once you reach certain skill level.

You saying it like there are no other easy ways to launder money. Every time I walk by a cleaning service or hairdresser in a less dense populated area I wonder if they are involved in money launderinng.

Why would you allow your phone to be a computer if you can sell a computer AND a phone? Allowing "random" OS to be installed on your phone would mean loosing control over your phone (including spying, gathering statistical data to influence major decisions, ability to paralyze communication of your country etc etc)

Android phones are nothing but linux phones and video output (DP over USB-C, earlier MHL) is for many years already included in many phones. I would love to carry one device with everything on it. I would be very happy if that device was like a laptop with detachable core, that acts as phone.

> problems because Dell sourced the absolute cheapest stuff for their computers;

Price itself has nothing to cause problems, it is either bad design or false or incomplete data on datasheets or all of it. Please STOP spreading this narrative, the right thing is to make ads, datasheets, marketing materials etc, etc to tell you the truth that is necessary for you to make proper decision as client/consumer.

It is finally a time to replace laptops with phones and laptop like docking stations. With hardware prices you'll save on buying twice, keep all your stuff in one device etc. That is what any disrupting company should head for.

Well, I also think that there is a lot that we process 'in background' and learn on beforehand in order to learn how to drive and then drive. I think the most 'fair' would be to figure out absolute lowest age of kids that would allow them to perform well on streets behind steering wheel.

Actually social media is relatively easy to replace and as such not as big threat to European economy as other types of service. The biggest threat from social media is manipulation and collection of data that can be used to manipulate.

Benefits are bigger than anyone realizes. Even if it would cost same it would still be money that are to circulate further in local economy.

Looks like advertisement of codeberg - worked, got my account there

The message itself could be a bit nicer however. I agree with what it says but not with how it is written.

@pron If all you mean is there is more syntax to D than to zig to achieve same/similar thing then you may be a bit aggresive on how you communicate it.

Inconvenient, most of the times freaking expensive or vendor locked, no privacy - these are major reasons why it doesn't work out.

A good VR headset will be most probably a form of wireless screen (not a beafy computer) that is simple, lightweight (at most 200g in front of your face), cheap enough so you'll be able to wear it with you and not worry that something happens to it or be able to afford it for each member of your family without major effort and most of all - it should be replacing computer/laptop screen for daily tasks.

We could do it today, big tech is just holding us back with their vision of products

Ryzen AI max+ 395 128GB can do 256GBps so lets put all these "ifs" to bed once for all. That is absolutely no brainer to drop more RAM as long as there is enough bits in address space of physical hardware. And there usually is, as same silicons are branded and packaged differently for commercial market and for consumer market. Check up how chinese are doubling 4090s RAM from 24 to 48GB.

That is not a framework choice, that is an AMD architecture that doesn't use regular RAM modules as it requires wider data bus
