Because I am not very good with money and would probably be broke if I wasn't working in tech I couldn't resist buying a cheap thermal imaging camera ("Victor 328B") a friend linked me even though I have no use for it :D
it was advertised as only working on Android but it shows up as a normal UVC device. Weirdly, photo booth only captures what appears to be a post-processed grayscale image while quicktime will show that post-processed image on top of a much more coarse green-ish image which I suspect are raw sensor values.

the android app apparently has a bunch of features but it should be possible to just use the raw image and do the post-processing myself

Looks like there's finally a #USB4 controller that isn't made by Intel: ASMedia ASM2464PD and ASM2464PDX. I bought a cheap m2 enclosure with them so that I finally have a USB4 device to test my #AsahiLinux driver but figured I'd also take a closer look.

Usually, these PCBs have a Intel Thunderbolt controller, a USB PD controller, a PCIe clock generator, one or two SPI flashes and power/decoupling/passive/etc. components. Looks like these new chips combine most of the active chips since I can only see the ASMedia chip and a single SPI flash on these PCBs.

Unfortunately other USB3-to-PCIe chips from ASMedia also don't have any public datasheets available so I don't have high hopes it will be any different for this one :(

My Glasgow arrived a day early and it looks absolutely fantastic inside the case! Can’t wait to play with it on the weekend.
