The number of PCIe lanes available is typically defined by the CPU in an SoC context or the lowest common between the CPU and chipset in a traditional motherboard architecture. M.2 defines a physical connector that may connect to different things depended on its intended use. An example is the difference between those intended for SATA or NVMe. Additionally it is common for lower bandwidth peripherals like wifi cards to use an M.2 connector although only be wired into a subset of the board's possible PCIe lanes.
That I hadn't seen but it is unsurprising. My interest has been in adding eGPU to relatively low-end boards with the current crop of M.2 to OCuLink boards, which is an inexpensive way to get better performance than Thunderbolt if you can find an unoccupied M.2 with sufficient connected lanes (and can work within tradeoffs like no hot-swap).
> My favorite interview question, because we've interviewed quite a few of these folks, is something to the effect of 'How fat is Kim Jong Un?' They terminate the call instantly
I'm sure there were a lot of false positives with that question.
If I was not reading HN and a few other sources I would likely hang up the phone too.
Thinking that it couldn't be a real job,... some phishing scam or hoax, asking ridiculous questions like that.
Depending on the job, it is quite likely the real talent would not be able to take the interview seriously after hearing suck a question.
Maemo really was impressive, and to think how far it could be with more than a decade development and refinements had Nokia managed keep that team on it.
Sailfish OS still seems to be going, and latest and installable on Sony Xperia 10 V. Though that is based on Meego which was what replaced Maemo and ended up on the Nokia N9 and was no longer Debian based IIRC.
Tizen OS was the other offshoot of Meego and Samsung was working with it, but they appear be abandoning it.
I never had the chance to pick up a compatible device try them out.
It seems to me, it would REQUIRE Megacorps datasets to store the information you don't want them to store in order for them to confirm to such a request.
What if I should be legally within my rights to be able to ask for my company/AI-held-dossier.
And I should be able to ask for such from ALL companies that have an AI dossier about me - and I should be able to confirm/deny/delete/update/[litigate-where-appropriate] for/against my data. But to do so as seamlessly as logging into whatever my profile is that already has my MFA/token/key/whatever - and given that me being the account holder - should be able to see my whole file.
but yeah its not simple - but necessary.
Remember - we aren't even a decade deep into AI Life-Long-Entanglements... so we better get on something asap... instead of clippy and war and politics.
(The strange thing is - that you no longer have an SSN, as it were, you have an LLM (LifeLog has arrived)

@kklisura:
I want GDPRGPT+
Seriously - I I want it on steroids and I want DarkPatterns to be illegal when it comes to such GDPR and the recent law for certain unsub rules in the US are not strong enough. And that third party data brokers masking as removal companies profit massively (look at YC's own Opterly - still shady.)
Take off, climb and circles before landng time use considerably more fuel than that of cruising time, so that needs to be considered. Also, as short haul fights generally don't climb as high, they lose the benefits of high altitude cruising.
I went back to printing photos on a regular basis.
It is relatively easy to select the best and edit photos every other day on vacations or at home for printing. It is however a major PITA to do that for hundreds or thousands of photos at a time. Thus I am still too lazy to have a look at those 20 years gap where the only pictures I took were digitized and are stored on a hard drive and remote backup.
I told my [family member] this for years she should edit her digital photos. She said, no, my 40k pictures are a retirement project. Then I said <<you'll be overwhelmed by that many photos>> and actually I was wrong.
AI photo stuff massively improved, and all her bad photos were very easy to sort in Picasa and bring down to a reasonable 5k or so photos to put into albums over few years of retirement.
I'm still sore about Picasa. while it was great to use, it lost a few years of photos that I hadn't backed up outside the service. Figured it was online and safe.
Always been frustrated that this abstraction became so commonplace. It's not even like there's ever been a time in history where 'online' meant 'safe and reliable'. Marketing always wins out, I guess.
My ex and I had a wonderful tradition of collating all the photos we'd taken in a single year, and making a printed album of it. It's a fantastic ritual to let you appreciate the good moments.
I would print more photos if I could find a printer that didn't actively hate me. Even the ink tank one I got turned out to have non-replaceable waste ink sponge with an internal counter that will brick the unit long before it wears out.
Color Laser. Rumor is that HP-M254DW is great b/c it's before a lot of E15N has taken place (enshittification... we should numberize it!). I got mine used off Craiglist nearing 10 years ago and it's been a pretty serious workhorse, along with pretty decent "trash" picture output.
I say trash b/c home printed photos on regular paper are never going to compete with your local CVS/Walgreens prints (which I do batches about 2-3 times per year, putting them in letters / christmas cards).
...but if I'm willing to wait for really good prints, I've had a great experience with "PersnickityPrints" who I tried after a local pharmacy print shop gave me an envelope of my wedding prints where some of the fancy B&W ones showed ~2mm chromatic aberration (hence: all the photos were misaligned / mis-calibrated).
Persnickity basically says: "you take the photo, we print the photo!" ...no auto-redeye reduction, no trying to make the colors pop, and they calibrate their machines at least once per day as opposed to once a month or whatever the generic pharmacy places do.
1) Color Laser for "tossable" printouts. 2) Walgreens + Mobile App for "5 copies to send in letters" (pick up in ~1hr, ~$0.20 per print, often less). 3) Persnickity for 8x10's, custom paper, cards, or if I'm planning ahead. (~$0.40/print, modulo shipping, etc).
I have a canon Selphy for 10x15 format as well as a Kodak Mini Shot Saqure "instant camera" that I really use as a printer for square polaroidlike photos from the smartphone. I also own a Fujifilm Instax Wide and an old Polaroid 600 that I converted to rechargeable batteries so that I can buy the slightly less expensive I-Type films. Between the Polaroid and the Instax, I take an average of maybe 2 instant pictures per week, maybe more during Christmas period or if I have family visiting me. Sometimes pictures that I don't keep but just gift to friends I am meeting with. All in all 2 pictures per week is just around 100 pictures. 2 packs of 10 Instax Wide cost me around 20€, a pack of 8 polaroid I-Type is much more expensive, around 17€ but I don't think spend more than 150€ a year on those anyway. Both printing with the Selphy/Kodak and taking instant pictures is expensive compared to bulk printing at a shop or online but in my opinion it is worth it and is still better than forgetting about those photos or even not taking them in the first place. I tend to think it is still less money wasted than if I was smoking.
One of the last Polaroid picture I took was of a little girl playing with her mom. Her husband told me several week later that it had become a bookmark that he has pleasure rediscovering everytime he grab his current book. Sometimes the smallest but meaningful gifts are the nicest.
For holidays, special events, whenever I have more than a handful of pictures to print or if I want bigger format I am doing it through the local photo print shop or online.
Though, it looks like on the lite version mentioned here, there is but one PCIe lave available on the slot.
Edit: Adding the size is likely the reason and full regular PCIe is not there. The PCIe card would likely be as big as the board it self. :)
