Description

When was the last time you visited a forum?A simple question about adding a front panel USB C hub to a motherboard without a Type E connector got me thinking about how differently we answer questions now. Discord replies are fast. Forum replies used to sit in your brain for a day or two while you worked out the best answer. Turns out that might be something we lost along the way.Also in this episodeFive months of Interfacing Linux projects including the Orange Pi 6, Dragon Q6A, a Ryzen AI mini PC, a goth hedgehog, and a FireWire ZIP drive.Behind the scenes reality of TechTube which mostly involves answering emails from marketing and PR departments.Upcoming hardware nonsense including the BPI R4 Pro router and a possibly terrible idea involving an AMD Xilinx Alveo MA35D media encoder and OBS.Plus an upcoming Linux LTO tape backup project and where I actually buy audio gear without paying new gear prices.If you would like to support my work on Interfacing Linux:Patreon ▶ https://www.patreon.com/interfacinglinuxPayPal ▶ https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=ZMNJFJULR8WJYWishlist ▶ https://throne.com/interfacinglinuxSOCIALXitter ▶ https://twitter.com/intlinuxMastodon ▶ https://mast.interfacinglinux.com/@interfacinglinuxYouTube ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@InterfacingLinuxTwitch ▶ https://www.twitch.tv/intlinuxCONTACTDiscord ▶ https://discord.gg/rW3hAV923YForums ▶ https://interfacinglinux.com/community/Email ▶ https://interfacinglinux.com/contact/TIMESTAMPS 00:00 A thought about thinking 02:55 It's only been what?
