modos has a 6" kit and a 13" monitor, but not aware of any 10" screens

I dunno, saying they don't have a use for a computer seems incorrect to me, even in the poorest parts of the world today, a substantial minority have acquired their own computer that's cheap, small, efficient, has a built in long distance radio, can run arbitrary software, doesn't require reliable electricity (I mean cell phones)

obviously it's a different technological and economic today compared to 2005, but still, "the global poor don't need computers" is questionable just based on the fact that they are spending their own money to get them

it's very easy to verge into OLPC type thinking with this, you probably should just give them normal bikes instead of trying to come up with some bespoke DIY-able system

if we had a standardized way to deliver packages like we do mail (the heavily regulated mailbox!) this would not be a problem, it's a phenomenal waste of human effort to navigate this uniquely for every location

it's not like a doorman where there's useful social interaction

I'm not very familiar with nix, how well does it do with cross compiling? is anyone actually using it for yocto sorts of domains?

I think licensing anything from wacom or samsung is a big ask for a two person(?) project that's making a very small run of open source/open hardware devices

what a wild comparison, millions (billions?) of humans have died from food-borne disease, and yet we do in fact still let people very casually sell food to the public (even unpasteurized milk in the US)

funny that this summary is paywalled but the actual article is open access

considering this is a review aggregating a bunch of small n studies from before we acknowledged the replication crisis in psychology, I'm going with "no"

yes, you can still run current debian on a 68k machine

most of the same obligations exist in the US, OP is probably just completely noncompliant

neat product, but where's the FCC ID for an intentional radiator on it? your million dollar product can afford the legally required testing, right?

the only possible lesson from blender I see is "receive millions of dollars a year from corporations"

other than maybe some RAM related blobs I believe the mnt stuff is completely open in both ways

framework stuff is generally neither open hardware nor open software, intel and AMD don't permit it

I really feel like that should be table stakes if your entire business is making chips to run Linux, though

after working professionally with their stuff I'm really not a fan of Rockchip

I meant something in-vehicle for ground vehicles, like an extremely simple extrapolation of current velocity and the extremely predictable trajectory of a plane, instead of depending on going back and forth over radio asking a very busy fallible human, but sure

even my cheap car has geofencing and automatic braking

I've worked on avionics professionally and I haven't crashed any of my planes yet...

an automated system that could check if a plane is about to land on a runway and show some kind of alert or red light is hardly a stretch of the imagination
