      <title>Raspberry Pi AI Kit</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Raspberry Pi Ltd. recently announced the launch of its &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/ai-kit/&#34; title=&#34;Buy a Raspberry Pi AI Kit – Raspberry Pi&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; &gt;Raspberry Pi AI Kit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo;. It includes an M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo-8L AI accelerator module. It pairs perfectly with the Raspberry Pi 5 and aims to enable both hobbyists and researchers to develop AI applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite accelerators having existed for several years, I consider this announcement noteworthy. The use of AI chips is still relatively limited, with most tasks being handled by the GPU. I&amp;rsquo;m confident the Raspberry Pi&amp;rsquo;s creatively progressive community will identify use cases where such a chip is significantly more efficient than a dedicated graphics card.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;There were significant changes in RHEL 8.10 and 9.4. Drivers for legacy hardware are being disabled in the kernel. That&amp;rsquo;s not immediately a problem for you. But Red Hat has implemented a change that prevents them from being re-enabled later.&lt;/p&gt;

      <![CDATA[<p>There were significant changes in RHEL 8.10 and 9.4. Drivers for legacy hardware are being disabled in the kernel. That&rsquo;s not immediately a problem for you. But Red Hat has implemented a change that prevents them from being re-enabled later.</p>
<p>ELRepo writes in »<a href="https://elrepoproject.blogspot.com/2024/04/some-elrepo-kmod-packages-will-no.html" title="Some elrepo kmod packages will no longer be available for RHEL 8.10 and 9.4" target="_blank" >Some elrepo kmod packages will no longer be available for RHEL 8.10 and 9.4</a>« on elrepoproject.blogspot.com</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The way that Red Hat have implemented these changes in the 8.10 and 9.4 releases means that the ELRepo Project will no longer be able to re-enable device IDs in our kmod packages for devices that have been disabled in the RHEL kernel.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This announcement raises concerns. Thanks to the diversity of Linux distributions, we can keep working hardware in use longer instead of prematurely discarding it. This protects the environment and provides access to affordable hardware. Moreover, Red Hat may be violating one of the four open-source freedoms<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup>. The freedom to use software must not be artificially restricted.</p>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apple’s $550 flagship headphones have a problem: They can malfunction, or suddenly stop working entirely, because of users’ sweat, or because of the condensation that can build up when people exercise in them or wear them for long periods of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve now had to buy new ear cushions for the AirPods because they&amp;rsquo;ve started to smell of sweat. I still hope the AirPods Max will last a long time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>GrayKey can unlock</title>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The GrayKey itself is a small, 4×4 inches box with two lightning cables for connecting iPhones, according to photographs published by cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes. The device comes in two versions: a $15,000 one which requires online connectivity and allows 300 unlocks (or $50 per phone), and an offline, $30,000 version which can crack as many iPhones as the customer wants. Marketing material seen by Forbes says GrayKey can unlock devices running iterations of Apple’s latest mobile operating system iOS 11, including on the iPhone X, Apple’s most recent phone.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p>So it&rsquo;s advisable to replace the numeric PIN with an alphanumeric passcode.</p>
<p>You can find the setting on iOS as follows:</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>Einstellung &gt; Touch ID &amp; Code &gt; Pin eingeben &gt; Code ändern &gt; alten Pin eingeben &gt; Codeoptionen &gt; Neuen Pincode eingeben &gt; noch einmal eingeben &gt; fertig.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘Ghost Minitaur’ is a 4-legged robot that can traverse tough terrain, jump, climb stairs, open doors, and even climb fences. The company hopes it could be used as a platform for “developing commercial unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), advanced gait and locomotion research, and machine learning and training applications.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s crazy how far robotics has come, and the thing is apparently powered by a Raspberry Pi &lt;em&gt;(see 0:45)&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The iPhone 7 is the first iPhone without a headphone jack. In the first few months, there was a lot of complaining and joking in the media and on social networks. Now there is a huge selection of wireless headphones, so the lack of connectivity should no longer be a problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://strangeparts.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; &gt;Scotty Allen&lt;/a&gt;, an American engineer, has managed to bring back the jack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He documented the development in the following video. I really enjoyed watching him do it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;We already know Apple is fine with giving its smartphone the anodized color treatment, so why not the MacBook?

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;d also like a black MacBook Air. I&amp;rsquo;ve always thought the black plastic MacBooks looked nicer than the more popular white ones.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
