Header and CRC
No, I just think the one cable solution with a USB-C monitor is really neat. I won't be getting one for personal use because they're too expensive right now. I'll be picking up one of the $60-100 hubs/docks that have a…
They aren't dumb cables anymore is why. I'll use Thunderbolt 3 as the example because it's the most stringent. At the 40G signalling it uses the connector loss is extremely high. The maximum passive cable you can have…
Yes, except for HDMI alt-mode. The problem is they tend to be expensive/stiff cables because of the need to support Thunderbolt 3. But HDMI alt-mode is a cluster anyway, because it takes over the conductors used for…
> What I don't understand is the "pro" in the name. Doesn't a "pro"fessional need to do things with their computer outside of a coffee shop; usable I/O, gigabit ethernet, slots for interfacing with their other…
That's kinda the point, the new USB-C monitors have built-in USB hubs and charging. So you only need one cable to plug in all of your monitors and USB devices. It's going to take a little while for everyone to get…
The AM335x PRU is exactly the Cortex-M core that they were talking about :). It just happens to be on-die with the main core. Very cool project, thanks for linking!
Eink uses a raster mode, but with (somewhat) tri-state pixels. You can send a 'no change' to any particular pixel. The disadvantage is you still need to scan the entire screen, so it isn't really useful for changing…
This does actually somewhat exist now. Most modern phones/tablets/ereaders have a low power core for monitoring and sleep modes. The problem is as soon as you want to 'do' anything you need the performance of the main…
This is pretty hugely sexist. Next time someone asks what obstacles women face in software development I'm going to point to this.
