Are you really asking this? For real?

You're shooting the messenger.

Low cost ARM M series microcontrollers are ubiquitous, and they're all immensely more powerful than the lunar lander computer.

Wireless embedded smartcards from 30 years ago were more powerful than the Apollo guidance computer. It's not a useful benchmark.

Considering Starship's console has big touch screens, a comparison with today's computers would be fairer, but less interesting.

Tribes 3: Rivals is a load of fun. Flying around on jetpacks helps raise the skill ceiling.

I distinctly remember how it was the bare minimum. You'd mount a disk or open a plain text file, and there'd be a lot of strange characters that weren't decoded properly.

And that's why we all had to buy a copy of MacLinkPlus!

Professional embedded developer and Arduino afficionado here: the amount of misinformation and hot takes here is astounding. First, Arduino is aimed at making technology usable for non-engineers. The ease of use makea them a breeze for engineers though. There's nothing wrong with making something serious with Arduino as long as the project fits within the confines of Arduino.

Arduino refers to a company as well as a hardware and software platform. It doesn't only mean an ATMega based board. You can have an ESP32 based Arduino board.

Arduino boards aren't designed for high performance or very high speed signal integrity.They are designed to be easy to use by non technical people.

I see people saying stuff like the ESP IDF and FreeRTOS are easy enough to use for most people. First, Arduino on ESP32 is built on the FreeRTOS based IDF, so people who would rather use FreeRTOS don't exactly know what they are talking about. Second, anyone who thinks FreeRTOS is easy enough to use for Arduino's core audience is delulu.

Use the proper tool for the job. Arduino is for beginners, non-technical people, and for projects with undemanding requirements. Stop pretending that it's a half baked solution for engineers; that completely misses the point of Arduino.

You also now who misses the point? Qualcomm. Why? Well just read the headline qualcomm itself provides.

How is asking for user consent insufficient? I smell Apple propaganda.

Sweet, WebBLE and WebUSB on iOS let's go.

I've taken a few graduate courses at Stanford MS&E through their non degree program, and I give the experience three thumbs up.

Yes some people actually go NDO->part-time-> full-time. It's rare but possible.

Hasan's story is totally fabricated, so that's a bad example.

why would it be fabricated? Given some of the opinions he espouses on Twitch and the hardline posture of ICE today it makes sense they'd interview him based on his opinions on Hamas.

There was a deconstruction of his tweets timeline somewhere. He said he was questioned for two hours but the timeline shows the time his plane arrived and then an hour later his tweet that he was out. It leaves more like 20-30 minutes for questioning. There is speculation he actually was pulled aside for a routine Global Entry application on arrival interview since he had said he had applied for it in some prior episode.

> why would it be fabricated?

for views and attention, he thrives on it

That seems like a big claim, do you have any evidence to back it up?

This YouTube video is making deconstruction and timeline does not corroborate what Hasan is saying and it also looks like it was standard Global Entry interview
