thermostat controlling the boiler for heating here over RF: broke a week or two ago
flipper zero that i've been using to manually enable the boiler instead: also broke somehow
me: freezing to hell and beyond due to it being 5°C outside and not having anything warm
my headmate: spends four hours putting together this incredibly normal setup using her beaglebone and a radio carrier module she designed a year ago. she even got the RF modulation parameters right on the first try, wtf
Rust's "Cargo" has a feature named "Features" and a feature named "Examples" and there is a feature where an Example can use a Feature and this is incredibly, incredibly hard to google for. So far I've got as far as finding examples of Features, but not as far as finding examples of Features of Examples.
Memory errors in consumer devices such as PCs and phones are not something you hear much about, yet they are probably one of the most common ways these machines fail.
I'll use this thread to explain how this happens, how it affects you and what you can do about it. But I'll also talk about how the industry failed to address it and how we must force them to, for the sake of sustainability. 🧵 1/17
@gabrielesvelto Really depressing that we've reached the physical limits of creating "memory we're confident that actually will store it's value reliably" :(.
We've went from PARITY CHECK 1/2 to "memory works fine without detection or correction" to "oh now not even parity check is enough". In that sense, it's WORSE than 40 years ago :P.
@whitequark SMARTDRV.SYS device driver provides a file cache if you have Expanded (bank-switched, works on 8088) or Extended (not-bank switched, 286+ only) memory.
