So far, the main use case for RISC-V has been providing access to CPU technology for regimes under sanctions from developed countries (or preparing for such future sanctions). I fi…

In the 1990s, we had a glimpse of how the world could gradually rid itself of nuclear weapons. But the U.S. refusal to uphold the Budapest Memorandum is sending a clear message: an…

The answer to the "is it PD?" question is increasingly becoming "yes". I recently needed a Qualcomm Quick Charge USB-A charger, and finding one for sale took some effort because mo…

Ukrainian and russian words often use the same letters but are pronounced very differently due to distinct phonetics. On the other hand, some Polish and Czech words sound the same …

OpenWrt One is based on Banana Pi anyway. And it comes already assembled, with the Luci GUI working out of the box, etc. In other words, it is a nice package for those who DON'T wa…

I always wanted to try OpenWRT but was put off by the necessity of doing hardware modifications to stock routers to gain root access. So naturally, once I found out that they were …

I use it mostly for the "Google TV" part, not for the "Chromecast" part.

I guess I'll have to buy the new Google TV Streamer because my previous Chromecast with Google TV 4K is now close to useless because of the lack of flash memory space after all the…

This tech will definitely find some good use here in Ukraine.

(2015), but great!

And be targeted by cyberwarfare from the first-world side.

Interestingly, I'm Ukrainian and my preferred language (as configured in my browser) is of course Ukrainian, but it kept me on the English version.

Some Kingston SSDs allow you to manage over-provisioning (i.e. to choose the capacity-endurance tradeoff) by using a manufacturer-provided software tool.

Military tech used to be something to frown upon, and now it's a noble thing again, almost on the same category as charity. Working harder for less to save other people's lives and…

I remember there was time when Skype screwed up with its "log in vs sign up" UI, and many people were effectively forced to create new accounts because they couldn't find how to lo…
