Nothing wrong with the E-Axle concept, but why would I buy any EV based on the E-Axle, when I can get the exact same thing buying the BYD vehicle for less.

It makes sense for brands that are not big enough to develop their own power train. For example, whoever buys the Jeep brand next might put a Wrangler body on a BYD powertrain.

(This would be an improvement over the present Stellantis product. Stellantis, the parent of Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Peugeot, etc. got a Boeing-type financial CEO, who ran the business into the ground while being paid a record salary.[1])

I wouldn't even consider it until it's got mainline support.

I'm interested in using it for exercise, what apps do you use?

SynthRiders. Like Beatsaber but better IMO. Hard to put down once I start. I always leave sweaty. It has a decent community and decent custom tracks.

You can't really build a PC with parts other than x86. The only other platform you can really build from parts is Arm, with the high end Ampere server chips. Most other platforms are usually pretty highly integrated, you can't just swap parts or work on it.


What about the POWER9-based Talos II systems? Extraordinary niche, I know, but aren't they PC-ish?


Why not? Ram is ram, storage is storage.


You can't just buy an ARM or POWER motherboard from one place, a CPU from another place, some RAM sticks from another place, a power supply, a heatsink/fan, some kind of hard drive (probably NVMe these days), a bunch of cables, and put them all together in your basement/living room and have a working system. With x86, this is pretty normal still. With other architectures, you're going to get a complete, all-in-one system that either 1) has no expandability whatsoever, at least by normal users, or 2) costs more than a house in NYC and requires having technicians from the vendor to fly to your location and stay in a hotel for a day or two to do service work on your system for you because you're not allowed to touch it.


But what prevents it from working? I've been building PCs from parts since I was a child.

I haven’t looked at the code, but can you just patch out the 30 minute limit?


Looks to me like the app code is compiled into pyd files. One could try and decompile. Interestingly, it's licensed as MIT.


I wonder how the USB 3 works, considering it is drop in compatible with the CM4 which only had USB 2.


I guess "mostly" refers to the "drop-in upgrade", not to the 2-3x faster. The pinout has been modified slightly, so it's not 100% compatible.


Yeah I wasn't too sure about the compatibility, but JG mentioned he was able to just pop it in his NEC Display and it was shown in a blade carrier.


What sort of applications is a FPGA in this smaller class useful for?


Apparently, if you enter x-apple-health://HearingAppPlugin.healthplugin/HearingTest into Safari, it allows the hearing test in non supported regions.


To save a click, the release date of the updated driver (566.03) is 22/10/2024.


You could have added that the fixes for Linux are in versions 565.57.01, 550.127.05, and 535.216.01. Not everyone runs Windows.


One of the reasons Asahi doesn't support M3, is that Apple never released a Mac Mini, so they can't do continuous integration. [1] That being said, it seems Apple does re use a lot of the parts on the SoC in each generation, so it's not too different.
