  • The problem isn't on the PC side, though. It's on the side of the device that has to choose between host or device. The PC is always a host, so special support in UEFI isn't needed.

  • Yeah, that sounds right.

  • The USB protocol and UEFI aren't a problem, but Android/iOS might be. I've booted various PCs from a raspberry pi (USB-OTG), but the last time I tried to boot an iso from my android phone I couldn't get it to work. It's been a while so I can't remember exactly what the issue was.

  • That's not quite right. Projectors make headlights less blinding. It would be worse if we still used basic reflectors. Also, not all vehicles use expensive LED headlights.

    Back to your original argument: you aren't saying you think an IR HUD would be less complicated than a cheap halogen bulb in a projector, are you? Because that would be rediculous.

  • There's a lot more that goes into to than you think. A camera and HUD will never be as cheap as a bulb and a reflector.

  • Of course the cost would come down (slightly) if a new tech goes mainstream, but you don't think an IR HUD could become as cheap as regular headlights, do you?

  • I'm still not sure we're in agreement, but maybe we are? I'm saying the US auto market has never had enough influence to block a cost-effective safety feature from appearing on foreign markets. Another person pointed out that the IR HUD was used on a luxury car and the high cost probably prevented its widespread use.

  • Are you correcting my post or yours? I was speaking in the past tense.

  • Makes sense.

  • I think you're over estimating the amount of influence the US auto market has had.

  • A German auto company isn't going to pull a safety feature from the EU, South American, and Asian markets just because it's banned in the US.

  • Was it banned in other countries too, or is there some other reason it isn't used?

  • The same skills used to develop free software can be used to earn a lot of money making corporate software. The same is true for other professions: they can work for an employer, be self-employed, or volunteer their time. The analogy fits, and we all need to earn money to survive.

  • Exactly. No one expects free work from carpenters, artists, chefs, etc. But for some reason it's fine to demand things from free software devs?

  • Personally, I don't think they have any kind of grand plan beyond capturing as much of the market as they can. They'll keep using the strategies that have been effective, but I doubt they can predict what the market will do, or what ground-breaking discoveries are coming. "No plan survives first contact with the enemy."

  • BirdNet, from Cornell University, is pretty cool. I've got a RasPi4 that's been running birdnet-pi for about a year and a half, seems pretty accurate based on the birds I see in my backyard. It'll also run on a $20 Pi Zero 2.

  • There is an element of truth, but what you're describing still sounds like a scam. Power factor correction is legitimate, but it's not something that can be done with a generic product that you hook up to any appliance, or even your whole house.
