So true. The ability to make a job application is not necessarily the same thing as the ability to do a job.
I’ve been asked to jump through hoops when considering a role. Stupid presentations and such. Nothing to do with the jobs. I politely declined to do any of their shit. Got offered to me anyway.
No, it isn't.
If I was a maths student and needed to demonstrate that I understood the material I was supposed to learn, then damn right I'd get failed for using a calculator
If you are solving maths problems then you would still need to understand the material in order to use your calculator. It’s a Labour saving device that, if anything, allows a student to go deeper and demonstrate even more understanding than if they had to waste time doing arithmetic longhand.
It’s not 9 year olds doing basic numeracy we are
talking about.
Nothing to do with plastic trim, the old cars had plastic trim.
SIPS was introduced by Volvo in 1991 and now every manufacturer has to have a version of it. In addition we now have side airbag integration.
The point was that the exterior dimensions have increased a lot and the interior dimensions not by much. I am 6'2 (188cm) and can sit quite comfortably in a Fiesta drivers seat.
When it comes to profit it does not matter who they prioritised supply to they would still have sold all they could produce
In the short term during the pandemic. But when supply is back to normal, the continued support of the industrial users boosts volumes. RPi didn't want those companies going to the wall.
Profit allows them to reinvest and create more toys for the tinkerers when the situation improves.
I still can’t believe people want to prioritise their play toys over people’s livelihoods.
I’m fucking sick of self entitlement and “all about me” whingers and whiners.
Thank fuck Rapsberry Pi ignored the brats and did the right thing.
The problem about supplying industrial customers during the supply chain problems was explained and the explanation was totally reasonable.
The whingers generally put their own need to have a tinker toy above the need of companies to stay in business and employ people to pay their bills and eat.
The end of 2023 since Pi 5 launch, the vast majority of production of Pi 5 was reserved for one per person personal purchases and still got instantly sucked into the demand vacuum.
Seventy thousand Pi 5 per week.
Anyway, with all the best intentions, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the end of Raspberry Pi long term if it becomes a traded company. But in the short term the money raised from investment might allow some exciting new versions for a final flurry.
Duncan Sandys, the UK Defence Minister in 1957 presented a white paper suggesting that manned aircraft were obsolete.
67 Years later BAe System Tempest is being developed with a nice seat for the driver and brain signal interface in the helmet.

Neuralink are not the first to try this, there has been a few previous experiments. A bit more fuss being made because Musk is involved in backing the work.
I couldn’t sit here in selfish rude health and deny opportunities for people who are not because of where the technology could potentially be abused.
I had a working kettle in the Orlando holiday house that I had for two weeks. It was British owned and used mostly for British tourists so it was a given.
I noticed it performed very badly compared to my Blighty kettles but I had just assumed it was a cheapo one.
I should know but but I can’t be bothered to think it through but power is power. Less voltage more amps and vice versa.
As a life long obsessive learner and chronic procrastinator I have worked out what works for me, and I don't believe there is a one size fits all for everyone.
Notes, handwritten or otherwise, are virtually useless to me, in fact trying to take notes as am being instructed makes thing far worse. I have to exercise and practice many times to get things to stick.
Yeah, who needs one when all the neighbours have them anyway.
Like the householder who complained about neighbours ring doorbells point at their house, then suffered a break in and went round the same neighbours asking if their doorbells recorded anything.
It doesn't really matter. The average user doesn't read Register. They buy a new laptop or whatever, start the thing up, log on to their broadband and their social media apps, read their emails, pay their bill, buy coffee pods from Amazon and watch their cat videos. They don't care about ideologies.
