> FPGA based application will always need to justify the additional cost for slightly worse performance Do mean FPGA has slightly worse performance? Care to elaborate?

> kernel's performance is pretty low Can you elaborate on this? How is it "low"

If we're giving anecdotes, I'll dish out some too. Maybe you're getting at something - communities looking out for their kind. It might be seen as good or bad depending on the situ…

What I'm curious to understand is how Iran and Iraq came to be pronounced differently in this guide (or otherwise), when they are both spelt almost the same way. The social phenome…

Do you mind expanding on that a bit, such as what are the poorly sourced claims used as building blocks? When you talk about recreating the justice part, do you mean the discussion…

Okay, is just me or does anybody else reduce the screen magnification by 10-20% when companies "refresh" their UIs?

Not in the context of enabling trusted binaries being used for updates, but to your original point about reverse engineering unencrypted firmware

Partially because they call their firmware upgrade process "secure Device Firmware Update (DFU) functionality" (lifted from their documentation). Obviously, an engineer needs to go…

Nordic's off-the-shelf firmware upgrade process has signed image verification only. The image itself sent over BLE is not encrypted. So anyone using that right off the bat is in fo…

That is so interesting! It has also found its way into the vocabulary of regional Indian languages, via the Portuguese[0]. Pronounced "baak", it's a common word to denote school be…
