I own things that are in the museum which makes me feel old too!

Same! They are so good.

Visiting it a few weeks ago was amazing too!

What a great defense of middle managers. I need to steal this!

I like GitLab but hate their pricing. Both as a personal user and a corporate user I'd love to give them money but their pricing is outrageous.

I did the same in the Bay Area this week, and had the same experience as you. Not that I hate human drivers, but sometimes it was nice after being around people all day to just have some personal space. And my trips were also around your length and similarly uneventful. I definitely can't wait til they are around my area.

That's always the problem with these non-Pi SBCs. They never have good software support.

Olimex does provide both open source hardware and open source software for example: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/STMP1/STMP157-OLin...

Open source hardware is such a fascinating concept, I had thought of such examples but I always assumed they would be the case of risc-v chips, I wonder how it's an arm chip

I always thought that one day we will get completely open source risc-v chips that if another company wants, they can create in their own chip-making process (I imagine it to be beyond extremely difficult but still it opens up a pathway)

what's the progress of risc-v nowadays?

Also Can you please link me other such projects like this, it would be good to have a bookmark/list of all such projects too

Even bigger brands such as Nvidia seem to expect us to recycle SBCs every couple years.

The Jetson Nano launched with Ubuntu 18.04, today, this is still the only officially supported distro for it. I have no reason to think this would be different with the Orin and Thor series, or even with the DGX Spark with its customized Ubuntu/"DGX OS".

I still don't understand why they couldn't support them properly. There are so many situations in which they could be better than alternatives, only to be hamstring by the poorest OS support.

You see, a small startup like NVIDIA just doesn't have the budget to support their older devices the same way a multi-trillion dollar company like Raspberry Pi can.

The NanoPi models from FriendlyElec tend to have better support.

Same here. My management style is far from his, but my principles match his, for the reasons you mentioned.

All of which are managed by people who don't care like Jobs did

Ah, so what you're doing here is confusing "caring" with "borderline personality disorder".

This is also why men like dating crazy girls. It's not actually a good relationship or management style.

(To balance this out, one thing I noticed reading those bios of Jobs where he shouts at everybody, is that the people being shouted at were all director/distinguished engineer level or higher, so they were all earning millions per year. It's not like he did that with everyone.)

No I am using "caring" to mean "caring." I use the words I mean to, so please don't tell me I don't mean what I say.

And while Jobs implementation of "caring" was not as good as it could've been, and he could've solved the same problems a bit nicer, he still "cared" and still solved the right problems.

The people at Apple today don't have the same level of care, especially the senior leadership. If they would, I wouldn't have all these bugs that show it.

And you can tell the difference with how long he has been gone. MacOS is terrible now. So many weird bugs and performance issues. Not that Jobs was perfect, of course. But he cared in a way others didn't, like you said. Cook clearly doesn't.

I still can't even get enough points to answer questions on some of their boards, despite me having a good answer to an unanswered question!

Screw them.
