  • I feel like RPI lost the plot at some point. Like the entire point of them was a small minimal headless system that runs low end programs and scripts like a dns server or home automation system. I don’t really see why something like that needs 16 gb of ram(or a nearly 400$ price point). At the new pricing, why would anyone want to go for a Pi vs just getting a low end pc which contains actual hardware meant for higher end systems.

    I guess form factor? I feel like you are just artificially restricting yourself going with the higher end pi’s vs just biting the bullet and going with a normal system.

    Also I feel I should mention that this was also the same company that decided to link the ram to the firmware meaning you no longer can buy a pi and then solder a new ram on it. They claimed it was to prevent counterfeit sellers putting bad ram in it but, it still puts a bad taste in my mouth. The only way to bypass it is to go back to the 2024-9-23 firmware.


  • One significant change in Linux 7.4 is the rework of the core ACPI device enumeration code to avoid initializing ACPI power management prematurely for devices with unmet dependencies. Security-wise, Linux 7.4 adds composable Landlock controls for namespace types and Linux capabilities, thanks to new LSM hooks.

    that will be nice. I am so sick of those messages spamming my boot screen and there’s no way to my knowledge of hiding just those without hiding other errors.


  • So there’s two modes on the Malibu for it, there’s one that says under power on the dash that one will clear itself on its own. It doesn’t actually affect the engine speed at that point.

    But usually not long after that heads up on the dash it will turn the check engine light on which at that point Is where you lose most power. So unless you were already close to your destination it was very likely you got both.


  • for me it was ice in the turbo. Chevy in their infinite wisdom for the 2015-20 malibus decided to have a sensor in them, and if ice gets in it and it blocks the air flow, it will trip the engine and throw it into a 20% power style mode that won’t clear until you plug a OBD tool into it and clear the errors.

    It’s meant as a safety system for the engine and usually resolves itself once you let the ice melt but, it won’t go back to full power or make the light go away until the error is cleared.

    When it happens I just flick the hazerds on and run it at whatever speed it lets me actually run it at which is around 20-25 mph
