    Maybe they meant encoding, the file format.

    All ADCs I have looked at document that they can't represent the positive full scale. For instance, for an 8 bit ±1 V ADC, -128 represents -1 V, +127 represents 127/128=0.99219 V. …

    As others have pointed out, the 2nd color is not something I would call either blue or green. Except for the first, it never showed anything I would call blue. So really I have tol…

    It's my understanding that is about generating the .iso file from the .deb files, not about generating the .deb files from source. Generating .deb from source in a reproducible way…

    On iNaturalist there are many people who monitor a specific area like their garden. Those contain links to such projects: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/home-projects-umbrell…

    For the major browsers, this probably makes little difference, but for anything else, this will most likely result in not verifying the revocation status of certificates anymore or…

    Is a passkey a software implementation of a FIDO key? Where the implementation could use something like the TPM to protect the key.

    Yes, the dates are correct.

    C2 is error detection, not correction. C1 is the error correction. I think what wikipedia is trying to say is that the C2 error detection just points out something is wrong, even a…

    An audio CD has 2352 audio bytes per sector. The sector also contains C1 error correction and C2 error detection. On a data CD, those 2352 bytes are split in 2048 data bytes, plus …

    As one of the other links explains, ripping the same CD on the same drive a 100 time might still not produce the correct rip. Something like AccurateRip works by having multiple co…

    This is based on submission to AccurateRip. As I understand it, it's how many tracks submitted by users owning that drive match the what AccurateRip considers the correct rip.

    If you care about accurate rips on Linux, the best tool to use is whipper: https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper . It makes use of the AccurateRip database, which is used to calc…

    For the torque, you can use a low current using more windings, which has the same effect of having a higher current with less windings. The acceleration you can reach is mostly lim…

    In 2000, Bill Clinton has banned the use of Selective Availability. Newer satellites, decided in 2007, first launched in 2018 don't even have the capability anymore.

    The article you point to does not mention anything about certificate transparency. They do not only depend on their own CT log to issue certificates, but also on CT logs run by ext…
