I don't know what is going on at Microsoft. I'm starting to think that they are trying to pivot to a completely different business model. In addition to this Windows 11 crap and XBox seemingly being given up on, they appear to be losing their embedded market as well. In the past, if you saw any screen in an industrial setting, there's a good chance that there was the embedded Windows version behind that screen. Lately, all the new products are moving over to Linux.

My guess is that's it's easier to neatly package your data up for when they go to sell it.

If the magic smoke comes out, that's entirely the electrician/electrical designer's fault. Their circuits shouldn't have let me do that.

Nope. Talking about all the other people being detained for no reason. Like the tourists, students, and people on legit work visas.

I do industrial programming. Everything is so far behind that yelling at the "computers" does nothing. Physical violence is just about the only thing they respect.

I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.

Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn't already exist, and won't even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

This take would be more relevant if they weren't also detaining people who do have lawful status.

Alright, hear me out: nuclear desalination plant. Feed it salt water, feed steam to generators, drink the water after it condenses. For an added bonus, extract everything useful out of the leftover brine instead of just dumping it back into the ocean.

Also, jets are just plain old cool. Everyone likes a mini-airshow.

You guys need to think bigger. Don't think folk heroes, think French Revolution.

Yes, that would definitely have been the sequence of events.
