Security products of this nature need to be tight with the kernel in order to actually be effective (and prevent actual rootkits).

That said, the old mantra of "with great power" comes to mind...

Yeah, we've gotten over 30°c and mine has never overheated

Mine was, as is my P7, especially compared to a lot of competing devices from Samsung etc

Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.

We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident

Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".

Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.

I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn't get used very often

Honestly I think it's generally more of a bus driver issue, because it seems more tied to the motherboard than a given device

Yeah, I've had more than a few chipsets or periphs that worked on Windows, and worked on Linux but were.... quirky, especially when dealing with stuff like suspend states etc.

For USB3 in particular, I've found many storage devices or adaptors like to drop out partway through an longer copy process on Linux (like they'll be fine for copying a smaller amount of data, but the controller or device would reset during longer ones). This didn't seem to occur in Windows, but I'm pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it's some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn't account for in the more generic driver

Yeah. I'll admit I got a bit excited at the idea that Blackberry might consider entering the mini-computer market and make a pi-type device.

Yeah, was gonna say: it's not just the competition, spams, scams, and trolls are a real issue.

I assume you meant raspberry pi-zero and not blackberry?

I'm kinda ok with a combination, like hey during the day run with mostly humans but at night supplement lack of staff when automation (so long as it's safe)

I'm the big picture, maybe. On the other hand, there are plenty of cases where efficiency-per-size may be more important than price-per-efficiency given the available surface area to place a panel.
