    what about this new cooling solution..

    People reading about raw thermal conductivity values easily forget that these values are often temperature-dependent and the interfacing of different materials matters a LOT - there is little reason to combine two well conducting materials if they interface so badly that the transition acts as a...

    Box86 - Linux Userspace x86 Emulator

    Thumb is a 32-bit instruction set, having mostly 16-bit large instructions does not make it a 16-bit instruction set - it still uses 32-bit general purpose registers and a 32-bit address space. It literally only exists to make the code need less space that regular ARM code.

    Pyra Status? Pyra lite? Upgraded SOC?

    Don't forget about the regular density, lithium batteries are very lightweight. In this context the volumetric energy density is more important.

    What are you doing with your Pandora?

    To build up trust so they won't get instantly kicked out at the first signs of suspicious behavior. This was already a very common practice back when the Internet Water Army did not have any AI tools available, yet.

    Maintained list of all remaining issues. Call to help.

    It's a fairly young configuration option that needs to be enabled first, my device only got it with an update and apparently it's not available for every hardware - I guess the charge controller needs to support this feature. My father's phone does not have this option despite having an...

    Maintained list of all remaining issues. Call to help.

    85% is what's commonly used by Android. On my device the last Android update even decreased it to 80% It has absolutely nothing to do with fast charging. Charging the last 15-20% of a Li-Ion battery always degrade it significantly, no matter how slow or fast you charge it. There's a reason why...

    Pyra without decent web browser?

    FYI: Linux dropped 32bit ARM virtualization support with kernel 5.7. Container frameworks tend to have a hard requirement on that.

    Check the kernel log for the source of the SIGBUS signal, if this is really a misaligned access it should've caused a data abort exception. If origin was allocated misaligned, shouldn't the exception already happen earlier, like when writing origin.x? I'm pretty sure this shouldn't get...

    How to Develop/Port for the Pyra as Noob

    Don't forget about E, it's such an improvement over D, the Chinese even made it a spoken language!

    Finally, a bit more news!

    Have fun discussing the terms of service with the payment processing service handling the bitcoin payment, if they didn't already went bankrupt like most crypto bro companies. Sellers don't care because their 3rd party middle-man takes care about the conversion, they still get their payment in...

    Finally, a bit more news!

    S3 shuts off the entire CPU, it is completely cut off from power, the ATX power supply itself remains in standby mode and only feeds the RAM through the dedicated 5V standby power cable. The RAM contains a copy of the CPU state that is being restored when powering up the CPU again, which is...

    Finally, a bit more news!

    Spoiler: That ain't suspend, the CPU is still running and reacting on peripheral interrupts. The ARM architecture does not implement an actual suspend mode. You can't just turn the CPU off, instead you tell it to wait for the next interrupt or other event to happen, which means that the power...

    The curse of small batch series production. It makes almost every little detail just that more expensive.

    SD card format woes

    With 4K sectors you can go up to 16 TiB with FAT32. Windows will just refuse to create it, so you need a different formatting tool that doesn't enforce such an artificial limit. The file size limit of 4 GiB is more of an issue. Some cheaper SD cards may have some dirty FAT-specific...

    Other odd bugs that could use a bounty.

    Plot twist: Neither are any good for decoding, you want a dedicated video decoding hardware module for that. All modern desktop GPUs have one, within an SoC they are often not even considered to be part of the GPU. The UVD module found on Radeon cards has an own microcontroller core dedicated...

    Other odd bugs that could use a bounty.

    You can use environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH to just override loading the original SDL 1.2 lib with this one when starting a game.

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Plot twist: Date formatting is actually standardized in a very distinct way. Using the US date representation is absolutely fine - if you're using the correct delimiter. Using '/' for ANY OTHER kind of date formatting is just asking for trouble, yet plenty of people just keep doing it wrong. In...

    Looking for help: U-Boot RAM Timings

    Except that lower clocks are commonly also used with lower latency settings, which can actually result in overall more aggressive timings that can still cause issues. Actually calculating the absolute time period from both the latency cycles and the frequency makes it more obvious...

    Hardware Battery temperature readings are odd.

    We're talking about temperature, not capacity. It's most likely a simple thermistor within the battery pack that is directly connected to the 3rd pin of the battery, connection issues with that pin can easily cause pretty wild readings. As the temperature contact is between plus and minus it's...

    Legend of Pandora - Windows portable edition

    It's actually just a simple userspace convention, the entire concept of a "hidden" file attribute does not exist on Linux. Programs have to decide themselves if they want to treat dot files/folders any different. With regards to the basic CLI tools there are actually fairly large differences in...
