I’ll wait and see when someone finally produces a RISC-V chip that can keep up with the big boys. But they can’t even compete with ARM at the moment, so I am not holding my breath.

I remember my physics teacher - a most rational man - telling us that complaining about burning plastic waste was stupid. Of all the oil extracted from the ground, only a small fraction is turned into plastic. All the rest, the vast majority, is burned as fuel. Burning the rest, too, does not really make a difference. Heck, it could even be better for the environment, as trash incinerator facilities (at least here) have so strong legal requirements for filtering their output that the 90%+ of normal burners like cars, ships, trains, and central heatings just can’t compete.

While the message has always been loud and clear, it still is hard to reach those idiots with their fingers in their ears and shouting LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR at the top of their lungs.

Ex Bild, jetzt Spiegel. Nimmt den jemand ernst, wenn er im Suff posted?

There were reasons to vote the Tories out. In case you forgot, inhuman behavior like that is one of them.

They are more than rich enough from milking their students. Most of them could be admission free if they wanted.

Wow. If he loses even more connection to reality, he’ll start getting transparent and floating away.

Traitor.

Wow. They started to get “creative”.

Does anyone know if this image is AI generated or is it just stolen?

Just wait until Trump sends bombers against Ukraine to help his commander Putin.

No they don’t. At least not in the broad populace. Blame the lack of education and critical thinking for it - it is done on purpose to keep the people docile.

They neither teach nor require smart at management schools.

I do care and feel sorry for the kids, but I cannot change their parents.

Wrong. Read the analysis. It is a BT vulnerability. One can probably design a cheap attack system that just sends a erase flash command to any BT device in reach, instantly bricking every BT enabled ESP32 device.

It is not easy to determine how fixable this is. IIRC, the ESP32 has the wireless stack hidden from user space, and I am not sure if it is a blob included during link time, or if it is stored in a ROM of the chip. I do have the chips and the development enviroment in my studio, but (luckily) I decided to use a different chip for my project.

But I know there is a load of systems using either the ESP32 as their main processor, or as an auxiliary processor to add WiFi or BT capabilities, so this really is a big oh shit moment.

Just wait until a jester creates a software that sends an erase flash backdoor command to any BT device it sees.

While I have a few ESP32 in my collection, I am now happy that I chose a different platform for my project.

I wonder what people will say in Nürnberg next week at Embedded World.

Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

Number seven. And then piss off every “pea under shell” trickster, because you can see which shells are empty.
