In the simplest analogy, it's just the TV rabbit ears with two wires in opposite directions, except much longer wires, because the frequencies are lower and therefore the wavelengt…

Kernel drivers, too. Especially the DMA buffers for devices that don’t support scatter gather: if you don’t allocate them at driver startup, you might not be able to find enough fr…

For small amounts of text, another simple way is to paste it into the Run dialog (Winkey-R) and then copy it back out again. Works well for turning URLs into plain text and removin…

Just FYI that the link to the page about the case against ultrasonic humidifiers is broken; it's missing the / after the domain. I tried leaving a comment on the page, but even aft…

Not just the first day, but the very first run. They cheaped out and didn't build a bypass for a 30 MPH curve on an otherwise 80 MPH run. Which, while embarrassing enough, shouldn'…

If you want to live vicariously through others, various people publish live images of captures over their locations on https://wxtoimgrestored.xyz/gallery/ In particular, being on …

1. You found your call sign already, but if you're interested in upgrading, the https://www.kb6nu.com/study-guides/ were very helpful for me becoming a general which lets you play …

I wonder what signals they actually route out the FMC card. The website doesn't give a lot of information, but it seems like probably just ChipLink which they claim is their serial…
