I’ve just read the wiki page on Magnetorquer but I couldn’t find what I was looking for: ballpark numbers. What kind of current are you driving those coils with (amps or dozens of …

ok you have reduced my cringe.

This is the reason I cringe every time I hear or read statements like “we went to the moon”, “we’ve split the atom”, “we developed antibiotics”, … No, we didn’t. A few who are not …

dementia, weight loss, unsteadiness, jerking movements and facial twitches This actually describes my benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms. The only thing missing is the suicide-indu…

I’ve occasionally found them, but only when their color contrasts with the background during walks. Can they be found year round? Do they have a preference for logs?

I’m going to go against the standard advice of this book or that course. Pick up (broken) equipment and start disassembling it to figure out how they turn A into B [1]. Go down the…

Thanks for submitting this. I’m currently working on the schematic of a VNA and having a ref design is a big help.

a process that can be used *on site* to render environmental toxins such as DDT and lindane harmless and convert them into valuable chemicals – a breakthrough for the *remediation …

How does this work on a practical level? Do you scrape the soil to a depth of a foot and submit it to electrolysis or is the soil washed and the sludge then processed? How many gra…

This plant gave up photosynthesis, shrank its genome, and learned to clone itself—and somehow survived for 100 million years.

Same experience here. The more commonly known the stuff it regurgitates is, the fewer errors. But if you venture into RF electronics or embedded land, beware of it turning into a m…

I opened the article expecting to read about its use in plant breeding: colchicine is renowned there for inducing polyploidy. Never knew it has a history in medicine. https://en.wi…

I wonder what the influence of wind is on survival of flying insects. Over here - W. Eu. - we’ve seen storms on a monthly base now. I don’t think the energy balance of foraging add…

Where can I find the picoIDE schematics & code? All I find is picoGus.

4) the whole system is rigged and the playbook is entering a new chapter

Did anyone ever make a simulator for pennies hitting the floor like in the top video?

I’m in the process of cleaning out my “varia” parts bin. It’s a box of neat-looking chips with an id that looks easy to google for datasheets … but most are locked away as you stat…

Very true. I’d like to add that it appears to be common on chinese sites to use micro-payment systems. You want the modified code / device driver / pinout / datasheet or rom dump? …

Last year was my first participation and did everything in javascript in the browser. It’s high level enough to not lose your time in details, you have a graphical output if needed…

The iot devices are hacked on the application layer. You have a controller running some linux distro and you work your way in over tty/telnet/eth. That’s an entirely different ball…

Looking at that list, collapse OS seems to cater to 8-bit only. It’s also aimes at “ built from scavenged parts” boards. I’ve often come across Hitachi h8, Blackfin, PIC, avr, the …

but as usual, the Internet Archive saved the day. So many times, when working on hardware of only 10 years ago do you hit this wall of “resource no longer available”. And often arc…

From our 1 datapoint set I’m leaning towards the “earth is an aberration” theory. This was a dinosaur planet. There was a reset some time ago that cleared the path for mammals. It’…

With terrahertz rectifiers you can use antennas and diodes to convert light to DC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rectenna
