With this board the SoC is the main problem. CIX is working on mainlining that stuff for over a year and we still dont have gpu and npu support in mainline


i dont want a device to tell me when i need to restart it, thats my decission.


Same on boot. Usually when I boot a computer I am not ready to wait for it to install several updates, unasked.


Was it Alpha-ESS? they make it so stupidly hard to get your information outside of their smartphone app.


Phocos


its also hard to read for a german. coding in english is the only viable thing after learning everything in english


are they Flatpaks?


yeah, in Europe


But no „A.I“ for us - not even local :/


iirc they used a open-source emu on their snes/nes mini


Nintendo's NES/SNES emulators have always been their own in-house tools. The NES/SNES Classic consoles did run on Linux, and Nintendo published the operating system source code as required by the software licenses, appropriately. The emulators are not part of the source release, and very likely derived from the same ones used on Wii virtual console (possibly older, Animal Crossing had a NES emulator on the GameCube too).

There's a popular myth floating around that Nintendo downloaded Super Mario Bros. off the internet only to sell it back to players via the Wii virtual console, but I'm only comfortable with calling it a myth because it's based on the fact that the embedded iNES file in the VC release is identical to iNES files you can find online. There's only one standalone version of Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and you can trivially recreate an exact file on your very own if you have the cartridge and a ROM dumping utility. It's a pretty good possibility that Nintendo created their virtual ROM in exactly the same fashion. The iNES format itself is very simple, and Nintendo hired the iNES developer to work on their in-house software; he could have easily just brought that same format into their official projects. (EDIT: This last sentence appears to have been another myth I bought into, see the reply to this comment.)


My understanding is that The "Nintendo hired the iNES Developer" story is actually it's own myth!

The person referenced who Nintendo hired is Kawase Tomohiro.

The basis for calling him "The iNES Developer" is that, in a changelog for 0.7 of iNES, Marat Fayzullin - the developer of iNES - wrote: "Sound support completely rewritten, thanks to Kawase Tomohiro"

That is the entirety of the association. That single line in a changelog. Based on similar "thanks" lines it was probably because they reported some emulation issues and not because they personally rewrote the sound support for the emulator, but resulted in Marat doing so. It's actually interesting how these stories seem to change over time. The last time I heard this, the story was that Nintendo had hired somebody who contributed to iNES, which was at least technically true if a bit misleading, but it seems that now the story is that they hired *the* iNES Developer. Which seems particularly silly when we consider the basis is that 8 word changelog line.


Interesting, I always assumed Marat himself was hired. Thanks for the correction!


Could be buying into the myth, but I read somewhere that there was header or metadata in one of the ROMs that basically betrayed that it had been downloaded from a popular ROM site. Is that not right?


Maybe you're thinking of the 'Playstation Classic' ? That uses PCSX directly and got some flack for it.

source? sounds fishy to me, can't believe insulin pumps are so vulnerable.



And the fix would be to remove yourself ~30ft from the source (though BLE might have even less range). The pump itself wasn't "disabled", the dude's Android phone (or dedicated Android device for this) was temporarily glitched while in range.


Specifically they say there's an Android device for monitoring/controlling the pump that was taken out by this. That seems more plausible given that it likely isn't exactly running the newest version of everything.


I don't have a source for OP's Flipper Zero story, but insulin pumps are surprisingly vulnerable: https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-medical-advisories/icsm...


Medical devices with shit firmware are hardly uncommon. I can totally believe someone crashed one with a device like this.


oh boy, you should look at german wikipedia...


I do, occasionally and seem to notice the same pattern, yes. If ever there were to be created a truly politically neutral LLM it could be used as the back end for a browser extension or wikipedia proxy which would add bias markings to all wikipedia-hosted content. Creating a truly neutral LLM would be truly hard though given the biased nature of the training set.


look at a local distributor, thats just the productpage.


Bought it on Amazon
