  • Yes, but also on the hardware level.

    I don’t know enough about OS programming to know if it is the architecture or the (closed source, as mentioned) CPU design itself that is more difficult to implement.

    Looking at the MCU space, even with a known architecture (like ARM), each processor has to be individually implemented in software and firmware which is a ton of work, and the only people who necessarily know how are the processor designers unless it is open source. But take that with a big block of salt, because I have never done it, just looking at industry practices.











  • Cool project! Epaper is awesome and crazy microfluidic tech.

    The M5stack M5paperS3 is 60€ (56,70€ at Tinytronics in NL) and is auch more readable size, integrated battery, 4.7inches. More like an older smartphone screen and have very fast refreshing.

    Nicco loves Linux (KDE contributor and a sort of blogger) made a whole to-do app/system that runs on it so it is temporarily out of stock at Tinytronics, but I think the problem with the small screen is having to refresh >3x as much to read the same amount killing battery life on an already smaller battery.

    I think personally I would have trouble either with font size, or only being able to read a few sentences before scrolling.






  • Because America runs off of shirking responsibility to blame someone else: using precedents as loopholes to not have to argue a case.

    1 state does it: 25 others follow suit immediately and it gets insta-passed because “there is a precedent”. See: flock cameras, Bibles in schools, book banning, abortion banning, sweeping climate protection rollbacks, etc… Once one does it, the rest of the cowards use it as a shield like children: “B-B-But theeey doooo iiiit!”
