So like LiveContainer[1] which works around ios's signing requirements [1] https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer

It's not an e-ink display, but rather a monochrome transreflective lcd. [1] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1bk294i/comment/kvx17...

I'd say they are bad because they aren't very power efficient. There are boards with nrf52 chips that already have qmk support iirc.

Yes, custom cores in the sense of what apple does.

The cores don't serve the same purpose as the M1 cores. M1 is optimized for single thread at the cost of die size (and a bit of power). I don't have exact numbers, but say the appl…

Fairing recovery is not abandoned, they decided to fish them out of the water after a soft landing instead of catching them with a net.

Digikey pricing is not indicative of actual volume pricing, especially for FPGAs where they are often many times overpriced when buying from distributors. I doubt the board is sold…

The circulator[1] is an analogous component in rf, it send the incident power from any port down to the next port, so you can take one port to be the bidirectional connection, and …

The trick to doing smd soldering is reflow. On all budget all you need is a hot air gun, if you put solder and flux on the pads manually before placing the components. With a stenc…

It takes a combination of software and hardware to get good power consumption. In this case, assuming the author has implemented sleep modes on the microcontroller, it's probably t…

This is only a cpu core. It lacks the memory controller and peripherals that make a SoC work. It will probably never make its way into a chip tapeout.

In recent years the node names don't correspond to any physical dimensions of the transistors anymore. But since density improvements are still being made, they just continued the …

It's in a QFN not QFP package

mitigations=off is all you need on a recent kernel

I'd love to know what makes this theorem so useful, but I doubt I will understand much considering this is in an area of math I know almost nothing about. I imagine it must be very…

In a previous post he said it's 8 years old

> Bitcoin appears to have greater staying power than most nations and currencies in history. I would not make that statement so soon. Bitcoin has only existed for 10 years. Most na…

The booster's trajectory targets offshore or away from droneship in case landing burn fails. The landing burn brings the booster onto the landing pad. See CRS-16 where the booster …

There's a typo in launch.sh that breaks when you try launch in debug mode > "{$DEBUG_PORT}"

For rendering yes. For video decoding no. Chromium needs a patch to use VA-API[1]. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chromium#Hardware_video...

The title is misleading, they have most likely only been dead for a few months since their bodies were found still decomposing.

You can take screenshots by plugging a usb stick into the scope

Most computers have an Embedded Controller (with integrated flash) that does a lot of motherboard/system specific stuff like power management, flashing leds and even scanning the k…

Smallest feature size no longer correlates with transistor density in recent years. So manufacturers just use the number to convey increases in transistor density. See https://en.w…
