I was about to recommend a cheap OKI LED color printer (I think C322dn); alas they withdrew from consumer market :/ The colors are super nice and uniform, even if the maximum resolution is only 600 dpi - and the toner won't dry out, which was my brother's crucial purchase criterion; we had HP inkjet clogged more than once.

For those who are confused, A0 and B0 refer to silicon steppings i.e. new tapeouts to fix silicon bugs.

You can do that in a debate and get elected as the president of Poland, sadly.

Moved from Gdynia to Warsaw in pursuit of a job. Left the family and friends, made me lonely. I suppose this is down to particular company culture. I used to work at an American corporation and we often socialized after work. In the new job, while people are as fiendly as there, there's no will to meet up outside the office. Bummer.

And Colorlight i5/9 boards are made for that very application; it just so happens they're a reasonable minimal devboards for ECP5 FPGAs. I don't think right now you can get anything more capable for the price (Yeah, there are super cheap decommissioned miners with Zynq, but there's almost no I/O fanned out.)

What's the deal with mdk-sdk? It is closed source, so there must be a very good reason to use it.

For context, the webpage: https://www.qtav.org/blog/new-sdk.html

One thing eludes me... We have thousands of hair follicles, how is that supposed to work in a finite amount of time?

Probably for tasks that are laborious to do, but easy to verify; not sure what percentage of such work is at hand here.

The question is why would they produce them in Italy. Most of the food on Polish shelves that can be produced in Poland, is.

This... actually makes a lot of sense. Case in point, Synektik. The name is very catchy and makes it damn sure it stands out from competition (they're medical solutions integrator listed on GPW)

You have to take a correction for the fact that some FOSS enjoyers are on the spectrum and - like an African grey parrot - can freak out to however inconsequential changes in their environment.

> Some young hobbyists are not looking to escape their phones through their activity of choice, but are interested in how modern technology can enhance their experience.

That's definitely me; I dabble in ceramics and made myself a clay stamp with initials - drawn in Affinity Designer, turned into an STL in OpenSCAD and printed by my friend on his resin printer.

The pro tip is pasting such long ToS into NotebookLM and asking it to list e.g. top 5 surprising clauses (if you ask just about surprising clauses it treats you like an idiot and lists everything)

I think the lack of stability is more of a problem. In the old days you could realistically have a job for life, now - forget about it.

FYI for basic stuff you can always use duck.ai which also aggregates other models.
