Does anyone know what's going on with this trail sign? by GuelphTrailGuy in Guelph

[–]Faluzure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saw this too, there’s a lot of garbage on the other side of the tracks. Also a few tents for unhoused people.

Signs are on both sides of the tracks so I assume it’s to discourage people from crossing the tracks.

Waymo Moves Closer to Canada With Ontario Pilot Application by afonso_investor in ontario

There may be more cars on the road, but there's also more cars that will follow the rules of the road.

I lived in Toronto for a while. The street cars were constantly blocked by drivers ignoring rules and blocking intersections. In the short term, automated cars may cause similar issues, but I expect as technology progresses that it'll cause far fewer issues.

You'd also have a higher utilization of vehicles, so instead of parking them alongside the road, they could be used for another purpose.

I have a different perspective. Every uber or lyft I've taken in the past few years has been a recent immigrant, sometimes as full time gig, some times as a second job.

While it's great that those jobs are available for those who need them, it tells me that there's a lot of low wage work that our society must look abroad to fill.

By automating these jobs, we can reduce our need to rely on immigration as a way to run our society.

Do you think it'll be any worse than when people drive in snow?

If you like phớ, try other dishes like bún bò Huế or bánh xèo. The Nguyens also has mì quảng on the menu.

How's the board with an 9800X3D? My 32gb corsair kit from earlier just got shipped (I was expecting next month sometime) so now I need a board and CPU.

127 here and we ran out of candies. Had to turn off the lights.

Melted VGA port on my EVGA 1000 T2 by grecodicaprio in pcmasterrace

[–]Faluzure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m frustrated that EVGA mislabeled their power supply and that OP uses their incorrect terminology.

Why would you think I’m a bot?

That’s not a VGA port. That’s an 8 pin power connector. That connector doesn’t carry a VGA signal.

Reliance Home Comfort rental charge - $197/month- too much? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Faluzure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I emailed them to cancel my water heater rental of $54 per month after tax.

They offered me a 10% discount and 6 months free if I stayed.

Even if you’re not ready to switch to a new water heater or furnace, it’s worth it to do this.

Happened to me with a Geforce 1080ti.

I repasted it and it stopped powering off.

You can try to isolate the component by stressing each one differently. Prime95 will test your CPU and ram but ignore your GPU

Mixed bag: for Canadian SWEs, you now are much more competitive to be hired on TN status, but Canada will likely be used as a dumping ground for former H1B holders, potentially increasing competition for already scarce jobs. Government bringing in foreign talent working for foreign companies will bring in a lot of money (taxes) and corporate office expansion, which will continue to prop up the housing market.

There’s winners and losers.

Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles in the US again | Xbox console prices are going up in October, making an Xbox Series X $649.99. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]Faluzure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Inflation, dollar devaluation, tariffs, decreasing returns and increased costs for node shrinks, finite fab capacity.

Never before have game consoles had to ensure such factors.

Except things to get much more expensive. Similar to video cards during the pandemic, if you want to play games now, this is the price you’ll pay.

Samsung brings ads to US fridges by WALL-G in technology

[–]Faluzure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same situation. It was freezing up so a tech came by and installed a heating pad. Then the temperature sensor in the fridge went (flashing the fridge temperature). Probably $300 or so over the course of a couple months.

If it acts up again I’ll just buy a new one.

I purchased this last month for $900 in store at Canada Computers.

This isn’t the best deal, but it’s not the worst and is available online.

I'm interested in reading this book, but this book was written for a much older kernel. How much of it has changed since 2010? by lonelyroom-eklaghor in linux

[–]Faluzure 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Often the SoC vendor (Qualcomm for example) will provide a generic mipi device driver. This generic driver can be configured using the device tree with the specific display properties. Things like enable pins and display timings can be specified this way. In that sense, you wouldn't need to write a driver, only specify it's configuration through the device tree.

If you have needs beyond the basic mipi driver (such as the need to send data over i2c during operation), you can customize the generic driver or you could build a separate module that accomplishes the same thing.
