  • I've always held the belief that Jim was short for Jimothy, and Kim was short for Kimothy. You can't convince me otherwise!

  • Dumb and dumber, but real. And somehow in charge. ugh

  • It was time to stop before it even started

  • There are plenty of pre-existing holes we could use that don't involve destroying more nature.

  • I discovered we had a trash panda sneaking in through our cat door to steal our dry cat food after the food container kept mysteriously opening overnight, and how my sloppy-ass cats were had not been leaving kibble-bits all over the floor. Freakin' raccoons even took those.

    They were involuntarily relocated to the next county over. Haven't seen them since.

  • Texas can't secede fast enough, maybe we can get a twofer with florida

  • Though he did say he'd do it before he was in office, so now that he's in office, we know it's not happening

  • The completely ignored laws of thermodynamics in this story always bugged me

  • c/oxygenhomies

  • Huh, That's weird, the last time I checked, the 328P had 1024b of EEPROM.

  • When it comes to writing code, perhaps. But specifically, I disagree on principle. There's a big difference between Firmware embedded directly into ROM that requires nothing beyond the MCU to run, versus Software that requires both a host environment to compute it, host hardware to store and manipulate it, and IO peripherals to make it useful. Totally opposite ends of the OSI model.

  • Complexity and propriety make for good income when it comes to fixing your broken fancy stuff; there's a good incentive to keep it that way. I praise the companies that make long lasting, well designed, and serviceable goods.

  • Technically it's not software, it's firmware, because it's a microcontroller that runs code directly.

    To my point, you don't need all the fancy bullshit that's baked into the car, the actual control systems require very little compute power.

  • You could run basic brushless motor and BMC firmware on a 99 cent 8 bit Atmel ATMega 328. That code requires almost nothing to run. It's all the extra shit baked in that needs all sorts of processing power.

    I also want a basic barebones infotainment-delete vehicle that just has power windows,locks,AC, cruise, and 4x4/awd. I don't want some proprietary gps system or a dashboard where I have to hit 3 menu buttons on a screen I have to look at, just to change a setting (how my wife's car operates and it's a complete shit user experience).
