@whitequark @azonenberg holup, wasn't TBT4 just TBT3 with all the optional goodies enabled?

@ignaloidas @whitequark @azonenberg Sure, but what's the actual difference between TBT3 and TBT4 if not just the spec requirements I mentioned?

@whitequark @azonenberg Enforced minimum transfer speed, wake from sleep required, dma protection required. All things you could do on TBT3 but now there's no ambiguity.

@whitequark @azonenberg so what changed? Everything I've seen online about it is either what I just said, or vaguely pointing out that it is different. I don't have access to any non-public data and because of ThunderScope I'd rather not cross that line and get turbo sued by Intel

@whitequark @azonenberg Something something plausible deniability, for all i know you measured it lol. You said the line rates were in a public doc, have a link? I'm mostly just curious since ThunderScope uses TBT3 adaptors rn - works identically with TBT4 ones though

Years of working on open source and I still don't know who the sign is for??

Six years ago I had the idea to make an open source oscilloscope, a scope I wish I had when I started playing around with electronics. Three years ago it was a working proof of concept that I documented online, hoping I'd find people who were interested in making it happen. I did, and I can't express how grateful I am for it! Through our shared efforts, I'm so proud to announce that ThunderScope is finally ready for your lab bench: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eevengers/thunderscope

So what are you actually guaranteed to get with a usb4 connection? Well it's a simple answer, let me pull up *the table*

Pull-up: pulls the signal up to the railPull-down: pulls the signal down to gndThis board has invented a third kind of pull resistor, one that pulls your signal into the void

PSA: Tempered glass should not be made into sheets!You think it's "pretty" and "aesthetic", but it only stays a sheet when it's in extreme distress. This is what REAL tempered glass looks like, relaxed and stress free:

I went to download KiCad 9 stable and saw the big "far field exploits" badge on their donation drive since they're matching donations.Ok, so it's some infosec thing, wireless stuff maybe?I click on the badge and get this shit. You can't really stop your open source project from being used by these types, but you don't have to accept them as a sponsor and advertise them.

@leo I think you misunderstand my position - It's *not* ok for defense to pay for open source software - at the very least it's the last place in a long list of funding sources we should be looking to.

@leo No such thing as free money. You are giving some of your credibility and goodwill over to them as soon as you accept. So if you as a project stand for things, you would reject money from a group that opposes those things. Would you take money from the Westboro Baptist Church, KKK, or other hate group? If no, then it's the same principle. If yes, then it's a waste of my time even having this conversation with you.

@leo Also, you alienate everyone who support you that do have issues with the folks you're taking money from. It's not a simple more $ = more betterer
