Macbook charger teardown: The surprising complexity inside Apple's power adapter
Have you ever wondered what's inside your Macbook's charger? There's a lot more circuitry crammed into the compact power adapter than you...www.righto.com
Did this #teardown to see what the screen in it was and if it could be re-used with a decent amount of effort.
The shiny WLCSP chip seems to be a STM32L476JE and that's the one running the show in it.
The chip next to it is a 25LQ64CW 64Mbit SPI flash.
Nice to see the published version of this:

Fedora considering adding in 'privacy-preserving' telemetry
Quite a controversial topic currently floating around is that a change proposal has been made for Fedora Workstation 40 to have some "privacy-preserving" telemetry to "enable limited data collection of anonymous Fedora Workstation usage metrics".Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Meta announced 'IGL', a high-performance cross-platform graphics library
Available under the MIT license, Meta (as in Facebook) have released IGL (Intermediate Graphics Library) for developers.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Even if Meta releases this under a permissive license I'm still going to be a bit skeptical of it. Meta has a history of making open projects that end up getting tied to their proprietary systems.
I'd be concerned that a few years down the line this library will end up tied to Facebook Gaming or Quest VR stuff.
We are so lucky that Lord Zuck has blessed us with the privilege of igl.
This will probably end up tied to a proprietary platform. Meta stuff always backfires..

Oh wow, I thought that was a loss cause since Phasmaphobia relies on Windows speech recognition, didn't think Proton would bother with it, much less implement it. That's awesome.

Thanks to our friends at @owncast we are having a little public test of a community extension of radio free fedi.
Initially a real-time, fedi authenticated (if you wish) handles, moderated chat hangout with RFF simulcast. Or you can just chat while listening using your usual or preferred method.
Chat is open now until ?.
Let's test hanging out and talk about tunes, RFF and where this might go as an extended content space for live and scheduled things.
radio free fedi - sounds from the fediverse to the universe
radio free fedi is small web, consent driven, artist populated, non-commercial mechanism, attribution promoting, community radio for the fediverse. This stream is for the main channel simulcast, hangouts and chat, and special events.radio free fedi - sounds from the fediverse to the universe
