Windows Defender is flagging this as containing Sabsik.EN.A!ml

While cool, ultimately not usable due to the very limited hardware.

Limited hardware is exactly why it is usable. Many e-ink devices exist now so limiting factors such as refresh rates etc, need to be considered when developing apps for android etc nowadays.

They might be maining that it requires a specific ereader model rather than being generic, but I'm not sure that really applies either. Kindles, even any specific single model of kindle, are generally readily available.

Usable enough to run a Linux DE on it! I did so on my blog: https://nns.ee/kindle

https://sim.mycnc.app/ A CNC simulator that runs in the browser or as a PwA. I wrote this mostly for myself to compliment a g-code sender I am also working on https://mycnc.app/ . The simulator has some basic g-code and cut verification and analysis built in with more to come.

I am learning hobby CNC having come from the 3D printer world and I found that the CNC software is considerably more complex than today's 3D printer software.

CNC seems to be the next hobbyist maker boom with the likes of Makera and Nestworks having very successful Kickstarters.

There are millions if not billions of older devices. What we need is an OS that support those.

That would become a meaningless effort security wise as time goes on. The drivers and firmware will become outdated. OS updates are necessary but not sufficient. I get the e-waste / enviromental argument, and I think its very warranted to criticize OEMs for not providing long support times in the past. Apple and Google do this well in recent years, luckily.

For many of the people I see stuck on spreadsheets, Excel is at the limit of what they can comprehend.

And now there are even more outdated tutorials. Not great for a 'beginner' platform

I don't think the addition of cloud-init deprecates anything or creates any issues with existing tutorials.

What does concern me, is that the image I tried to customise and flash with RPi Imager yesterday to a Pi Zero 2 W, failed to perform all of the customisations and left me having to manually correct it all by finding the hardware and hookin g it up to a monitor and keyboard.

I use my old phone to proxy serial data to tcp. Also gives me macros and a video/audio feed. But most relevant to this is it has a built in webserver.

Listen up VR companies. We DO NOT WANT SMELL-O-VISION!

Who’s “we”? Like most tech, I can see this spreading quickly to the porn space.

Someone want to ELIF the USB support.

Immediately reminded me of Borat's Mankini.
