Early stage here - self funded. After many years in land mobile radio industry, I decided to start my own thing. Hand held radios are still around, and will be, for many years. We'…

Keep it up. Slava Ukraini!

Very nice post. I also miss the early days of the internet. I'm currently trying to come up with the cheapest, but still safe, design for a Li-Ion battery charger. This is for my w…

In my world of embedded single core processors, we use "multi-threaded" code all the time. There is a single core so nothing truly ever executes in parallel and that makes it easie…

"Karaka explained that the book glorified a sexual relationship..." This is the issue. And a misunderstanding. That's not at all how I took the book when I read it. It does not glo…

What I find sad about this is that the effort and skill required to debunk this nonsense is an order of magnitude higher than the effort and skill required to create it in the firs…

"They should have a rigid spec and a publicly available test kit, and a certification process for spec compliance." They do. One can only put the Bluetooth logo if the product pass…

Nope. Native Czech speaker here. The style is akin to a nursery rhyme or an old folk song. It doesn't carry any hidden meanings. A better English translation might be "..spray the …

Isn't the Wi-Fi patent quite controversial?

This would be okay for experimentation. It will not be able to run as a UMTS or LTE base station or anything like that. Mostly because the software required to do that is not avail…

Electronics is pretty broad. There are books for each area, depending on what you want to do: - Building kits? - Building circuits someone else designed? - Designing printed circui…

You guys in the US & friends probably don't see it as clearly. The US focus on self esteem - justified or not - and the vague post-modern concern with various shallow attributes, l…

Emacs + customisations.. nearly like Textpad but easier to use. Emacs is not really a text editor. It is some sort of OS for making text editors. You can have any text editor you l…
