Last Notes npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s I think lately, the "dry ball" class of issues I've found on boards have usually been caused by, like, incomplete plugging of via-in-pad slurping the paste into the netherworld, or similar. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s oh good. I don't have a CAT scanner at home. 😉 npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s missing a paste aperture on a BGA pad is such an evil defect. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s well hey, at least you don't have to pare down your AICs npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s if you can get it booted far enough to get through dimm training and report the results without those AICs, it would be interesting. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s say, if you have any pcie aics in there, and/or integrated graphics, might be worth disabling/removing them and seeing if it affects the RAM detection... sometimes bioses misbehave if cards have weird opinions about BAR locations etc npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s yeah, that should be new enough to avoid my concern. Guess we're back to just "bios bullshit" then. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s which Intel microarchitecture is the machine that only sees 384GiB? I recall some of them using channels in sets of three, and either capping out around there due to bios bullshit, or expecting you to jump to the next multiple of 3. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…s8xx incidentally this happens in my head every time I accidentally read the comments somewhere npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…s8xx yeah I need to curl up with a warm mug of something and these PoCs, thanks for putting this together npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…s8xx that's, uh... not the hmac they're truncating by any chance, is it npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…s8xx oh thank goodness npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Chewing on Soatok's last commentary on matrix crypto. I haven't implemented DH in a while, but: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…s8xx I swear, the whole "assert becomes a no-op" thing is an evergreen source of security vulnerabilities. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle At the last minute, I submitted a talk suggestion to RustWeek this year, and... they took it! 🎉 npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…kjcu oh that's a depressing thought npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Years ago, Vercel scraped all the email addresses associated with my Github account and added them to their marketing lists. They still send me emails, with no unsubscribe option, because they insist I'm a customer. (I am not. Oxide, my employer, used Vercel.) npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Hm, potential 45-base RNA quine discovered. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s in addition to diffusion, there's also the "cloud edge effect," where diffraction around clouds produces spikes in power when the sun passes behind their edges. I found this terribly counter-intuitive. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Anduril founder Palmer Luckey says California's proposed wealth tax on his ~$3.9B would leave him "screwed for life," which serves as a useful illustration of how having $3.9B can destroy your perspective on what "screwed for life" looks like. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s another block option would be to include a longer 128 bit timestamp per block and use 64 bit relative within (or even narrower, 9200s is a long block). I did something like this for the timebase for Loon's Iridium telemetry. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…mv7s out of curiosity, what's your time precision here? npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Yup, this has happened to me, except in my case it was "echinoderms have ventral mouths and dorsal anuses, so they're literally poopyheads!" npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Collected this weekend's updates to my Smalltalk-80 VM into a new wasm build. (You may need to shift-reload it to get it to work if you've visited before.) npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle As of this morning, my toy Smalltalk-80 VM in Rust can make it through the first 68,139 bytecode instructions of the 1983 Xerox system image (before hitting a primitive operation I haven't implemented yet). Its behavior exactly matches dbanay's high quality C++ gloss of the book at an instruction trace level. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt ah, yeah, our parts are probably not integrated enough for your needs. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle There are a bunch of albums that I originally experienced in the early 2000s through piracy with bad metadata, with the side effect that my brain now _really_ expects their tracks to be in alphabetical order. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…stct nice. I'm thinking of doing this with my bucket of HP-35s. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…dpjt I admit I was hoping that would be possible when the part was announced. 😞 npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…dpjt so, the closest I've found is probably the SAMA5D2 series from Microchip, which has 128 kiB of L2 cache that can be switched to just be SRAM, and are also available with a nontrivial amount (~256 MiB) of eDRAM in package. I have some eval hardware but I haven't brought it up yet. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt in case it's useful: one of the significant advantages of the dual AHB ports on the M33 is the ability to access vector table entries while stacking/unstacking interrupt frames. (Since the hardware does that on M.) npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…dpjt ...incidentally, why end-of-RAM-minus-anything? The ARM stack is full-descending so it's fine for an empty stack pointer to point at the word just above RAM. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…dpjt this was tweaked at some point during the development of M-profile, and older M parts actually have a bit for disabling the 8-byte alignment. I assume that ldrd/strd is the motivation, but I don't know that it's documented anywhere. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…dpjt yeah, it mostly works at 4-byte until it doesn't npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt fwiw, the M33 also wants 8 byte stack alignment. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt are you doing this on the STM32MP257F, or is there a cheaper board? npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Frustrated with the size (and build quality) of my Framework 16 when traveling, I picked up this tiny (10 inch) Chuwi MinibookX for $350. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Hey Unix history nerds: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Well! I've definitely seen my share of "idiosyncratic" C styles omitting braces and exploiting corner cases in 30+ years of having to read other peoples' C code, but this is a new one. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I'm reverse-engineering the Android app for the solar charge controller in my trailer, to try and understand some corner cases of the protocol. I tossed the dex at jadx and started grepping for known hex addresses in its MODBUS register space... without luck? npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle In a sea of rapidly enshittifying e-commerce sites, McMaster-Carr remains a breath of fresh air. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…2yfz I'm not super familiar with modern Intel implementations of x86, but it's possible you'll still need to trap into SMM for small things here and there, just because so much of the system assumes its existence. (Is it still involved in scaling/power?) npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…syqt @nprofile…2yfz this is what we wound up doing -- the x86 core is physically incapable of writing to the SPI flash. It can work. In our case, firmware updates have to go through the separate service processor, but for an end-user machine a physical switch would also be fine. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…8x2j well then! And here I thought it was for (M)icro(C)hip and trying to make a joke npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…8x2j It's nice that they clearly designated both their Copyright and their...um...Mopyright npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 next most challenging task: keeping it working across Neovim updates! npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle My favorite under-appreciated trick for small solar arrays is "overpaneling." Solar panels themselves are now relatively cheap, compared to things like batteries and inverters. For highest production efficiency, you want to tie your solar panels to your battery using a Maximum Power-Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller. This will have a power limit in watts. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Home Assistant wants me to know that starting on Monday it will be ... night? npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I got a wee CO2 monitor for home, after talking to @nprofile…wkxy about his experience. Since CO2 monitors have mostly been a proxy for other air quality properties that are hard to measure -- like virus concentration -- I hadn't ever used one in spaces where I'm alone. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…jrpu that is probably not how I would have done that, but, ok npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…jrpu ...what were the circumstances around the graywater? (e.g. what kind of grey and why label it differently) npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I have to say, while the Mastodon "thundering herd" whenever I post a link is not my favorite behavior, putting the instance names in the user-agent makes it a joy to encounter in the logs. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Last week I was talking with my cousin (who is not an engineer) about how "artificial intelligence" has never really meant anything, and has been typified by "moving goalposts" as a result. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Flying back across the country from a family medical thing, wherein relatives were convinced that climate change isn't happening. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Alright Digikey, I admit I didn't think to set a filter for that npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I don't know why people get upset about calling connectors "DB9." DB9 is a perfectly valid connector in the D-Subminiature connector system. Here is a helpful infographic explaining the DB9 connector. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…vdjy when articles I've written somehow wind up on HN, there are comments complaining that my site is "too purple." npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Obstacles I hit when trying to send a patch to a C++ project, as an experienced C++ dev who's been doing mostly Rust for a few years: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Player: "I take the value out of the std::optional<int>" npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Watched some Daggerheart play videos, and I propose that we adopt one of their mechanics when discussing programming languages: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 ...alright, you may have seen this, but this is actually pretty neat. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 I feel like the "periodic detail" bit means that you'd wind up sensing in frequency domain -- which is potentially still useful, and potentially reversible. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 I'm consistently fascinated by this phenomenon -- I'm kind of amazed I haven't crashed a car while distracted by interfering chain link patterns on pedestrian overpasses. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Here's a neat class of product that I didn't know existed: "travel routers." npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Here's a neat analysis of a subtle OpenZFS bug by @nprofile…6mn7. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Rolling a randomish character for a friend's D&D oneshot game, I used a dwarf name generator and got the best dwarf name. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 I wonder if peoples' experience with the first board game was similar. They're also arguably non-obvious as a concept, not gated by any specific technological development (some of the older recognizable ones are just lines scratched in a rock), etc. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 a stochastic parrot trained on people discussing math on the internet, huh... it seems like it would be hard to _prevent it_ from being kind of a condescending ass at times. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle A friend tipped me off to the existence of "heat set threaded inserts," which are brass threaded things with grippy teeth that you can press into plastic with an iron to have robust screw threads. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Took another crack at using FreeCAD today, now that it's officially 1.0. To its credit, it hasn't segfaulted on me once yet, which is improvement. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Welp, I just learned about this cursed container format. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Welp, other people have figured out that you can make a USB 1.1/2.0 device with a USBC connector that shows up as two different devices, depending on which way the cable's plugged in. I pointed this out as a _joke._ npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Gradually decorating my office, and I've been trying to get a nice poster of one of my favorite alternate periodic tables -- JF Hyde's. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle For an art installation a friend and I acquired a cheap ultrasonic parametric array from AliExpress. It turned out to be painfully (perhaps dangerously) loud. But it also turned out to have some pads with its microcontroller's debug interface. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 it's probably a question of how much work the developer has put into the new windows/tablet modes. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…59k6 "all applications are singleton, but some are more singleton than others" npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Alright, so. Recently, about once a day, my #FrameworkLaptop 16 has been doing ... this. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle After 36 years on the internet I'm starting to learn things about how to use it! npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle yessssss npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Been recording some profiles to try to explain _why_ my Rust translations of C programs tend to default to being faster. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Google, when questioned about poor service quality in Palestine: "We at Maps are above politics." npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle This is probably the best modern writeup on decoupling capacitance that I've seen. It's clear and brings the receipts! npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…kyyd @nprofile…qz4x @nprofile…5n8f we really need an emoji for describing the seething disdain with which these companies view their customers (except as money sources). npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…gyrf but seriously, undefined behavior aside, I'd really want to see perf counter results on that negate. If the compiler takes it literally that's a move back and forth between functional units at best, and a move through cache at worst. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @nprofile…gyrf I also notice the author is using "go faster spacing" around all operators. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle 7.3 quake offshore from Eureka (CA), tsunami warning down the coast. Couple hours before the swell gets here, if it gets here. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that we installed pervasive monitoring backdoors into all of our telecom systems, and then... npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I'm, uh, "pleased" to report that the vulns found in Ubuntu's needrestart program are _not_ memory safety C problems! npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Here's an interesting article on the use of tech that encourages "commodity" developers...as a deliberate tactic to deskill and disempower labor (that is, us). npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle PCBWay isn't the best for _everything,_ but for bare PCBs they have one killer feature: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @npub1f3n…e887 code belongs in the liability column of the balance sheet. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Heat pump is installed and working and oh man is it nice. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @npub1c9m…9xjd you know, that's another interesting point of variation between the two cultures: npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle @npub1c9m…9xjd what does 14 pounds have to do with paper npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle My tote bag is attracting a lot of questions that I was pretty sure were answered by my tote bag. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Plums are ripening really fast right now, and I can only eat a few a day before people start to look at me funny. So preserves it is! npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle I'm sure this is my Rapid Eval brainrot, but npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Thinking about how many C programs I've written, read, and maintained, that contained a subtly broken, buggy, partially implemented, and difficult-to-read implementation of Vec::retain. npub19znrep7u2jrsfvqs5aa3s352l4ppfnxyun8pt28yulnkd7k9x08q9spj90 cliffle Well, great. My #FrameworkLaptop 16 has stopped detecting displayport alt mode connections on any of its expansion ports.
