Introducing Raspberry Pi Pico 2
  • Been playing with the one on my desk at work for the last few months. Cool device, wish it have a few more (and more accurate) ADCs. At the moment still having to use external ADCs in our solutions as the RP2040 (or RP2350 for that matter) don't have enough ADCs. The onboard STM ADCs I have found to be pretty accurate and there's usually 2 or 3 with 16 channels each.

  • Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
  • Interesting argument. I have used both typescript and JavaScript, but I spend 99% of my time writing firmware in C, because of this I LOVE strongly typed languages, and I get kinda annoyed/paranoid when my variable COULD change type quietly so end up doing (perhaps too much) type checks etc.

    I can say with surety I hate programming in both Typescript and JavaScript, but I definitely hate Typescript less because of the typing.

    Having said that, I don't really like the compiled javascript that comes out of the typescript compiler, because it puts some distance between the user and the code and I am all for clarity, especially when people have to go out of their way to not run this code.

  • What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?
  • Always thought garlic bread is such a steal. Often you can get 2 (small) baguettes for less than £1 and G Bread is so good. When my plans of world domination come in, free garlic bread for everyone is first on the agenda.

  • Wild mammals make up only a few percent of the world’s mammals (2022)
  • While I don’t think these numbers are particularly doctored, I have learned caution from using ourworldindata.

    I believe it is largely funded by Bill Gates and so has biases to retain the status quo, as this keeps the billionaires at the top.

    Of course there are no unbiased sources, but something to keep in mind.

  • Remote wake PC from Steam Deck?
  • I think you’re talking about Wake on LAN (WOL)?

    Not done this from my deck, but do this from Linux machines all the time. You can easily do this from a command line, in the pacman sources there is a package called “wol”. So could just make a bash script to run it for the MAC address you want to wake. And this talks about adding a bash script to game mode.

  • Finally, my name is realized.
  • Very small and niche change to an i2c driver, so that composite devices will work with this driver.

    It’s a rarely used driver, but I found an issue with my stuff using it, so thought could spare some people the pain of figuring it out again.

  • Combining two different internet debates
  • But even in the image example, how would that work? The people have no momentum, they wouldn’t flop out, just fall back through, and then stay half in half not. According to you, air resistance wouldn’t even push them out because as soon as it goes through the portal the air is not moving relative to the people. I think your blatant lack of respect for relativity is unnerving and gets super confusing very quickly.

  • Better than new!
  • Interested in this, how does it fair so far? Is it comparable or better to the original? I was hoping there would be OLED screen mods at some point. Also maybe larger screen space as there’s a fairly large band around the original. I guess you don’t have any information what drivers it uses? I see it says “no driver required” so either the same as the original or another mainline Linux driver.
