  • The STM32WB55 in the flipper has a versatile wireless peripheral built in which can be used to implement various protocols including Bluetooth, zigbee, etc.. Support for I2C, I2S and CAN is pretty standard stuff - the ESP32 is nothing special in these respects.

    Maybe they chose the STM32WB55 because its wireless support is more flexible than the ESP32 and allows them to implement a wider variety of protocols? Or possibly just better documented, giving them the chance to do things they can't on the ESP32? I haven't compared the inner workings of the two chips' wireless support so I can't say for sure.

  • The ESP32s are nice chips, but the STM32s are also really nice to work with and will work fine for this task. Changing to an ESP32 wouldn't make any real difference to the user so the choice is moot really.

    I've designed products around both CPUs and they're both pretty nice. The STM32 has somewhat better documentation, has cleaner low power modes and is a bit simpler when delving into the nitty gritty details. The ESP is more powerful and has some nice if complex features but I don't like its low power handling as much.

    Overall I think I'd choose the STM32 for this task since it's a little easier to make small, battery powered devices with it.

  • It was actually a small town which was known for its lesbian community. ie. Just a place with a larger than normal number of lesbian living there. The town was known for being lesbian aware and lesbian friendly in general - which isn't something you can say of everywhere.

  • My sister had a friend who lived in a lesbian community. Oh my God the drama. I heard about it third hand and it was wild the number of crazy public screaming matches that happened and people who couldn't ever be in the same room as other people etc.

    "Men is too headache"?

    Try putting a bunch of women together and see what happens.

  • Also, humiliating someone in front of the whole LKML list by calling their code garbage isn't constructive. It's the reason why a lot of people take one look at that toxic cesspit and walk the other way.

  • I think this is a common misconception about anarchies - that there's no social control of any kind. If you look at actual real world anarchies like Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen they don't believe in a complete absence of organisation. Far from it - they develop community-based committees which have no actual power in themselves but are used to develop concensus on issues that affect the whole community. So rather than abolishing all rules they're all about human collaboration and concensus.

    For instance when hard drugs became a problem in Christiana the residents got together and banned hard drugs. It's not a law as such but everyone's in agreement that if you try to sell hard drugs you'll be ejected.

    It's not a perfect place and it's hard to say that their brand of anarchy works well as a system of government. It seems to have been a mixed experience for many people who've lived there. But it's definitely been an interesting social experiment.

    There are plenty of documentaries on youtube if you're interested.

  • Most likely it's got poor security and has been compromised to use as part of a DDOS network. ie. Someone has taken it over to use your bandwidth (and tens of thousands of other people's) to sell on the dark web as a service to attack others on the internet.
