  • Not quite? Ok so according to the article it is supposed to challenge the status of AUTOSAR. This is something used exclusively in automotive ECUs which most of the time use the operating system shipped with AUTOSAR compliant vendor. This OS is much much simpler than Linux is with totally different design goals and requirements. Think bare-bones no MMU operating system. It would be closer to FreeRTOS than Linux.

    However the story does not end here. Together with an operating system the vendor delivers all tooling for development, which includes such gimmicks like visualization of task scheduling in comparison to resource usage. You can inspect worst case scenarios without even running the compiled software and make sure that hard real-time requirements are always met.

    Now, this space is dominated by one company from Germany named Vector… You see where this goes.

    Source: worked with AUTOSAR many years ago. I hated it because the tooling is so advanced it is mostly point and click programming




  • If you want wireless gaming, forget about Bluetooth, period. You need low latency connection which will not be Bluetooth based and requires separate USB dongle. My Logitech g535s are even recognizable by Android phones.

    Don’t buy them for music, they are correct but… I do not recommend them for music as they don’t match my taste, but they are still usable. You will be disappointed.

    Perfect for meetings, Ok for gaming. Reasonable price (often available well under MSRP). Ok for mixed usage, not good for music :)


  • Based on Fedora Kinoite and immutable OS images. OpenSUSE has something similar called MicroOS, but server focused.

    This is a frontline of next gen Linux desktops that will revolutionize the way we maintain them. I am a Debian veteran of over 12 years and now I use Aurora at home. This is the way.


  • One of President Donald Trump’s top officials has warned European allies hesitant about working with Elon Musk’s satellite Internet company that they needed to choose between US and Chinese technology.

    Oh they can go fuck themselves and choose between Chinese Huawei and Korean Samsung for their terrestrial cellular networks, thank you very much. Ericsson and Nokia are European and we have technology required for low orbit direct to mobile cell networks.

    Want to piss them off even more? Remind them that they have sold Alcatel Lucent and Bell Labs to Nokia.


  • 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.
