  Parents unite.

  It already started happening before LLM AI. Have you heard the joke that we were teaching our parents how to use printers and PCs with mouse and keyboard and now we have to do the same with our children? It’s really not a joke. We are the last generation that have seen it all evolving before our eyes, we know the fundamentals of each layer of abstraction the current technology is built upon. It was natural process for us to learn all of this and now suddenly we expect “fresh people” to grasp 50 years or so of progress in 5 or so years?

  Interesting times ahead of us.

  Yes I agree. I just wanted to point out that articles like linked should not be immediately interpreted as “oh noo recession”. They move labor wherever it is cheaper, Eastern Europe, Ukraine, India, or China in case of manufacturing, that’s all.

  While at the same time opening new positions for Pixel teams in Poland, for example.

  I wonder how hard and if feasible at all it would be to have something like an email over NNCP over meshtastic network. Total independence and resilience.

  I was a Debian guy for years now. Running on all my servers and virtual machines, but never got to be satisfied with it enough to “format Windows” out of my main computer. Until one day I discovered Aurora and relatives. That’s it, that’s the endgame for me. Literally everything works out of the box including support for legacy Nvidia cards, g-sync, scaling etc. and I can fully understand and like their design decisions (hell, with brew it will be just like having a Mac). I’m done with Windows before this year ends.

  Thanks for sharing this.

  It looks like the cutoff voltage for LiFePO4, the minimum voltage after which there should be a total power cutoff is around 2.8V. Discharging further is equal to more or less serious, but always, damage to the cell. It also looks like the effects of such over discharge might be less serious for LiFePO4 than it is for Li-Ion cells. However… doesn’t this 1500$ device have a Battery Management System, BMS, a small circuit to implement the cutoff voltage? What the hell?

  0.9V on a lithium cell? And it still charged? …

  I wouldn’t be able to sleep under the same roof with these recovered cells charged again, being scared they could catch fire.

  Next time just replace them, maybe upgrading total capacity if you happen to open the device anyway.
