I will agree - async rust on an operating system isn’t all that impressive - it’s a lot easier to just have well defined tasks and manually spawn threads to do the work.
However, in embedded rust async functions are amazing! Combine it with a scheduler like rtic or embassy, and now hardware abstractions are completely taken care of. Serial port? Just two layers of abstraction and you have a DMA system that shoves bytes out UART as fast as you can create them. And your terminal thread will only occupy as much time as it needs to generate the bytes and spit them out, no spin locking or waiting for a status register to report ready.
Terminating HDCP is difficult, you’d have to downgrade it to HDCP 1.4 and then have a 1.4 ‘compliant’ (see: device on the end for it to be a dummy monitor. If you need anything newer than HDCP 1.4, it’s likely not possible.
I tried Portal RTX on a 9070 XT and got 20 FPS at full resolution (no frame generation). There’s no driver limitations, but I have no idea what the expected FPS is
I would argue the opposite - DisplayPort has won the computing format war, especially on laptops. Most laptops will have at least two USB-C ports with DisplayPort tunneling. Most business PCs have only DisplayPort connectivity, with the assumption that you'll buy a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (if you have an older monitor that only supported HDMI).
True, we will never see them on the TV, but on the computer it is all DisplayPort.
Ah. I ran into this last weekend when installing Linux to a secondary partition. I just disabled secure boot, good to know there is a proper workaround

I believe the author is implying that if the pilots attempted to maintain speed rather than altitude, the aerodynamic stall wouldn't have occurred - if they descended below 12000', the icing would be reversible.
For your first point, does ../../user/repo.git not work? I have a self hosted GitLab and that’s how I’ve specified all my submodules and it survived a top-level url change (with a new clone or changing the origin)
I think you misunderstand the whole concept of P2P payment apps - it’s meant to be digital cash and replace physical money.
Credit cards can afford to protect you from fraud because of the high level of trust between companies and the point of sales - too many fraudulent purchases and they stop accepting the transactions. Not to mention the fees they charge to both the purchasers and sellers!
If you get scammed with a debit card, cash, or a P2P app, that’s a matter for small claims courts, and if you’re lucky, maybe the police will charge them with a crime. But the risk is on the individual, and that’s a feature, not a bug.
