[10:05] schestowitz[TR3][10:05] schestowitz[TR3]Eighteen years after the Defective by Design campaign's inception, we're still continuing the fight against Digital Restrictions Management (DRM), the practice of imposing technological restrictions that control what users can do with digital media -- and won't back down until we've won. For our eighteenth International Day Against DRM (IDAD), we're targeting an issue that thousands of computer us [10:05] schestowitz[TR3] ers around the world will face, whether they know it yet or not. As Microsoft has decided to end the life of Windows 10, one of everyone's least favorite nonfree software developers has mandated the use of a hardware TPM for those who want to downgrade to Windows 11, an unnecessary module that will send thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of perfectly functioning machines to your local landfill, potentially setting back e-wast [10:05] schestowitz[TR3] e reduction efforts for years. This doesn't need to happen.

[11:18] schestowitz[TR3][11:18] schestowitz[TR3]RHEL AI provides a foundation model for building and running LLMs and includes image mode, which allows users to build, deploy and manage RHEL as a bootable container image. Version 1.3 supports the latest release of the Granite LLMs that IBM announced and released to open source in October. It also has improved data preparation features, expanded choices for hybrid cloud deployment and su [11:18] schestowitz[TR3] pport for Intel Corp.s Gaudi 3 AI accelerator.

[11:54] schestowitz[TR3][11:54] schestowitz[TR3]Lately, my Executive has been misbehaving somewhat. Wait. That's not a correct statement. Let me rephrase it. The laptop had worked amazingly well until a random kernel (plus firmware) update ruined it. The story of modern operating systems, designed and released without any testing, because words like DevOps, canary and unit testing have replaced hard, grueling work as the words de jour. [11:54] schestowitz[TR3] No one wants to do boring QA. Everyone wants to be a leet coder.

[13:48] schestowitz[TR3][13:48] schestowitz[TR3]Normally, people use that functionality to build their own custom N64 controllers. But Lovelyroyalette chose to do something a little different and connected the Arduino Due to their laptop, which runs a server hosting a web interface where visitors can input controller commands. Push A on that interface and the laptop will tell the Due to send the A command to the N64, causing [13:48] schestowitz[TR3] Mario to jump.

The open-source libraries include Matter examples and leverage the Arduino SDK, together with extensive [13:48] schestowitz[TR3] documentation.
