The major difference is the NPU in this EIC7700X chip is much more powerful than the Coral TPU. It's NPU has the same TOPS as the latest AI hat for Raspberry Pi 5, but unlike the Raspberry Pi 5, it also has H.264 and H.265 video transcoding. The larger form factor might be a downside, but maybe not if expanded storage or reusing old hardware is a priority. #milkv #riscv #FrigateNVR

The Milk-V Megrez might be a great board to run Frigate NVR on. #riscv #FrigateNVR #milkv

I recently purchased an Intel N100 mini PC with a Coral TPU. Its performance with Frigate has been fantastic, but this might be better.

This is an example of what the App Store app shares with #Apple when you search for an app. Everything you type in the search field is recorded as an event and associated with your Apple ID before it is sent to Apple. When I search for "Google Authenticator," events are recorded as I type character by character. The leap between rows 78 and 79 is when I picked a suggestion. The timestamp of every event is recorded, i.e. Apple can calculate my typing speed 🙃.

The Good: I got my finnicky #Reolink IP cameras working with #Frigate on a #RaspberryPi 5!
The Bad: I found out that #Broadcom kneecapped the Raspberry Pi 5 by removing hardware H264/H265 transcoding.

The UX for connecting an external display to a MacBook Air M3 is consistently bad, to a shocking degree. #Apple

cool, unblobbing of RK3588 boot is in progress: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2024/02/21/almost-a-fully-open-source-boot-chain-for-rockchips-rk3588/
Almost a fully open-source boot chain for Rockchip's RK3588!

You can now build a complete working BL31 (Boot Loader stage 3.1) and replace the closed binary blob with an open-source binary.

New, by me: U.S.. Treasury has sanctioned two Russian nationals accused of launching LockBit ransomware attacks.

The sanctions state one of the Russians is also involved with REvil, RansomEXX and Avaddon.

By sanctioning the two Russians linked to ransomware, it effectively means paying a ransom to these people (or associated groups) is illegal.

The new sanctions will make it far more difficult for the hackers to profit from ransomware by making it illegal for U.S. victims to pay.
