Surprisingly effective solution: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "ProductVersion"="Windows 10" "TargetRe…

There is research correlating autism and mothers taking certain medications (painkillers, antidepressants). Since autism is hereditary, there is a significant chance that these mot…

> Developing black-and-white film with coffee is a better option for younger analog photographers. As a bonus, it should smell better. I've made Caffenol in the past. It stinks.

The company was a bit too much in bed with the government to begin with...

That voltage spike only applies to flyback converter. Your typical buck/boost converter doesn't do that - the current waveform is a sawtooth, and voltage ripple is designed to be i…

Seconded. NLP is well worth the money - not just in results, quality, and time saved, but also in finding joy in shooting and scanning color.

They use the code without respecting the license terms. Just because the code is out in the open doesn't mean you can use it however you wish.

Hold onto it, these things are incredibly rare.

The nature of surges is not simple like that - a lightning strike can easily blow MOVs and inrush limiting resistors in multiple devices. I come from a rural area and coming to som…

It's not very different from daisy chaining normal extension cords - safe if you know what you're doing (not exceeding the current rating on any of them). Most surge protectors are…

Note that bstats only tracks Bukkit-compatible servers. It doesn't track Vanilla/Fabric/Forge/etc. installations, so take these numbers with a grain of salt.

There are several primary ways to run a Java Edition server: 1. Pure vanilla server.jar. Has horrible performance, little flexibility, but in the end, it Just Works. This is the se…

Digikey also ships DDP, they do the customs for you.

...and good flux carries you the rest of the way.

Let's not forget about unusual char sizes. The popular DSP platform TMS320 has sizeof(char) == sizeof(int), and both are 1. How? Because both are 16-bit, and by definition sizeof(c…

An organization grows to a size where decisions are made by committee, bikeshedding is rampart, and one idiot in marketing can dismiss and derail the naming suggestions of an entir…

Moo!

Funny how Germany is obsessed with privacy, yet the cookie consent prompt requires extra clicks to decline the consent.

You just described my joy of doing hardware better than I would have been able to describe it myself. Thank you.

It's such a disappointment that they chose to continue the weird custom layout of MX Keys - merged function row with two extra buttons and missing PrintSc/Pause/ScrollLk. I also ha…

Did he lose because of the added weight destroying the performance? ;)
