    Welcome Raspberry Pi to the world of microcontrollers

    Since we have been experimenting quite a bit with multi-core processors with our Pro product, the Portenta, we decided to build an Arduino board based on this new silicon.

    [07:09] schestowitz__

    We started from the Nano format with its own tiny footprint, leveraging on some of the existing key features of other Nanos like the versatile u-blox NINA WiFi and Bluetooth module. The goal being to enable people to develop connected products leveraging our hardware powered by Raspberry silicon, a solid radio module with exceptional performance, and the Arduino Create IoT Cloud.

    [07:09] schestowitz__

    The new board will come packed with some high-quality MEMS sensors from STM (namely a 9-axis IMU and a microphone), a very efficient power section, and a bunch of other innovations that you can already spot from the design.

    [07:09] schestowitz__

    Whereas the majority of microcontrollers use embedded flash, the new RP2040 chip uses external flash. To provide plenty of space for all your code and storage weve included 16MB flash memory this is also particularly useful to allow OTA (over-the-air) updates.

    Unlike the mostly open source, Broadcom based Raspberry Pi boards, the Raspberry Pi Pico is fully open source, with schematics and design files already posted. The exhaustively documented RP2040 chip is also far more open than any Broadcom processor. For the first time, RPi Trading is encouraging a third-party ecosystem of spinoffs and potential competitors to the Pico, starting with eight boards from Adafruit, [07:09] schestowitz__ Arduino, Pimoroni, and SparkFun.

Is that due to connection issues to the raspi or something else? [11:09] schestowitz__ I've only just noticed that about half of the latest ones are http section only (in http://techrights.org/category/irc-logs/ ) [11:09] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techrights.org | IRC Logs | Techrights [11:11] schestowitz__ 81.154.168.60 [11:12] Techrights-sec2 IPv4 number changed again, and I did not spot it and the script does not [11:12] Techrights-sec2 notice just that particular type of failure. [11:12] Techrights-sec2 I'll tweak the script. [11:12] schestowitz__ Should I add the missing bits from the homedir to the respective IRC posts? [11:13] schestowitz__ Now that Brave and other s/w adds IPFS support we can stay ahead of the curce [11:13] schestowitz__ *curve [11:13] Techrights-sec2 Sure, or if you have a lot, I can add them. [11:13] Techrights-sec2 Yes, IPFS support in Brave is quite a good thing. [11:14] schestowitz__ It's on your homedir and you might be logged in already, I didn't count how many miss that section for IPFS, but maybe 3 or 4 only. Just a copy-paste job. [11:15] schestowitz__ The images in the bulletins have become a bit clearer with Braille and I've quit experimenting with further improvements as the features I see advertised for the new release (1.6), e.g. dithering, would not improve clarify [11:16] schestowitz__ The DNS bypass would help further, but the setup process is harder, I'll cp the manual to your homedir for a glimpse (I read it several times already) [11:21] Techrights-sec2 Just two were missing. They're added now. The IRC log posts have [11:21] Techrights-sec2 been updated. [11:22] schestowitz__ excellent, thanks. I noticed cause I wanted to test access to the CIDs when IPFS is down (Rianne is on VOIP, won't work with IPFS up). It worked OK, the p2p-like nature of it means I can peridically take it offline [11:23] schestowitz__ I've copies ipns.txt to your homedir [11:24] schestowitz__ Case of point, the pi generated https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZLpEkMvn45imTBGmeekevAHJ15hpQ7toQtEeM83P818B/ last night and is down down, but that CID is still accessible, and fast [11:25] schestowitz__ "down down" -> down right now [11:25] Techrights-sec2 Ok. I'll look at the file this afternoon. [11:25] Techrights-sec2 back in a bit [11:25] schestowitz__ OK. Based on IRC and geeks that come in, there's a lookout for alternatives to browsers and www/http/html [11:39] Techrights-sec2 Yes, its not so much a problem with XHTML+CSS but all the Javascript [11:39] Techrights-sec2 that Google and Facebook are forcing on everyopne and the gen Z developers [11:39] Techrights-sec2 who go for that shit. [11:39] Techrights-sec2 It used to be that a web page or even a web site was a commodity. [11:39] Techrights-sec2 Due to custom Javascript, only the original team can maintain or expand [11:39] Techrights-sec2 the sites now. [11:40] schestowitz__ Should we maybe address those points in an article. tbh, once I'm done with the Intel series I'm sort of in need for more exclusive or interesting topics. [11:41] Techrights-sec2 Well, the decomoditizatin of the WWW is a big problem getting [11:41] Techrights-sec2 some coverage in isolated blogs but not anywhere else. TR [11:41] Techrights-sec2 did cover it a bit during the last 2 years but not in depth from [11:41] Techrights-sec2 a policy matter. [11:43] Techrights-sec2 (BTW Gannett owns a whole shitload of 'local' news sites) [11:43] schestowitz__ one can tell by mass violations of GDPR in almost all those... no matter the domain, and almost always the same message appearing ● Jan 22 [19:00] *asusbox2 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

[22:36] schestowitz__ You will find here a link to the "Coronavirus - European Public Service Survey" on the working conditions in times of Coronavirus. This survey originates from USF, Union Syndicale Fdrale, the largest unions federation of the European institutions. The aim of the survey is to have a large overview of the working conditions under the present circumstances across the different European institutions and organisations and to identify [22:36] schestowitz__ general recurrent patterns, areas of concern and possible improvements for the future. [22:36] schestowitz__ The survey, is completely anonymous. It takes less than 10 minutes to be completed. It will be open till mid-February 2021. The final results will be available end of February, beginning of March 2021. [22:36] schestowitz__ Please fill in the survey in order we can have as many answers as possible.
