Fascinating read, I had no idea they had digitized radar systems in the 1960's. Even though we look back on older systems as "outdated", "obsolete", "primitive", etc. the engineeri…

I've been travelling a lot the last 6 months and have really wanted to try out my SDR on the plane, but it looks so sketchy.

How does the computer restrict power? Is it just a lower rev limiter?

OpenWRT doesn't use sysv init, it has something called procd (~120KB compressed). Its very reliable, and they have a large install base on mission critical devices. > And OpenWRT a…

> So you couldn't spare around 1Mb of compressed flash or 2Mb of uncompressed flash for systemd? Absolutely not. > That hasn't been the case in quite some while These routers and A…

OpenWRT is VERY sensitive to firmware size. I developed for a device with 16 MB flash that had both a normal (~11 MB) and recovery firmware (~3MB) on flash. The rest of flash was u…

I wonder if there's anyone here that would know what would happen if this same ad were played on broadcast television? The public backlash would of course be bad, but I'm curious a…

How does Netflix make money? HBO Max? Apple TV? Amazon Prime Video? Google wants to have their cake and eat it too by having a "free" platform but also controlling exactly how peop…

I could see the writing on the wall. Offerup I think does this. If you click through an item in a search the URL has a UID in it. Then if you click on the seller and find the item …

vimtutor. It comes with the full vim install, at least in ubuntu. It will give you the basics, then afterward you can run :h to see what the less used commands do.

That's part of the world in the dystopian movie "Anon" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5397194/ You can replay any moment in your life that your eyes saw or your ears heard... but s…

At least with motorcyclists its their own lives, not others like when car drivers speed excessively.

You laugh, but AMD did that in the mid-2000's with the Athlon XP series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_processo... The numbers used to match their clock speed…

Most people seem to mention using them as an adjustable wrench, but they've been most useful to me as parallel jaw pliers. Unlike with traditional pliers, you can positively hold t…

As a buyer, Ebay is still the place to find specialty used items. I've also bought some uncommon tools that were brand new (at full retail price) because I would rather not buy fro…

That's funny because when buying things from Craigslist I try to round the price to an even number since the transaction will always be cash and few people have enough small bills …

The github change also messed up my workflow, which involves pulling/cloning my company's git repo from lots of machines, many of them being short lived or disposable. Now I have t…

They do that for all individuals, not just "at-risk" individuals.

Yeah, I barely remember my dad buying a Saturn in the 90's and he bought a Tesla for similar reasons just before all this craziness started. I'm looking forward to buying a car in …

Its interesting you mention Destin from Smarter Every Day, because he always came off as a very earnest learner in his videos. Yeah, he's still putting on a show, but it does seem …

There's big demand for loud cars. You really only need a couple assholes per 100,000 population to buy them and hoon around late at night for it to be a public nuisance. This isn't…
