Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Technically i am an "unskilled worker" because i did not finish university. Didn't stop me from being the guy who develops the network chips in the company.

Regarding 1.: in my country, sadly it does. No fancy paper telling that you can do X means "can't do X" even if you can show what you have done. In way too many places.

the fuck is a network chip? why not just use a low power sock running an embedded Linux router? one statement raises so many questions!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

they do exist but are typically made by vendors like Broadcom

You're not getting the necessary thoughtput with a low power socket at the critical infrastructure.

Sometimes, data must be transmitted and received in a more precise way that a normal Ethernet could ever do. You see, those robotics people think "realtime" means to have a message delivered within a millisecond.

In my system I know where the bits are down to five picoseconds. This requires technology that is a tad more complex than just throwing a dumb PC at the problem (even if it runs Linux).
