It depends on the confinement, the overcrowding of industrial production may be unadaptable. There are still enough instincts programmed that unfamiliar males would rather avoid ea…

> while open source keeps adapting and changing In these places, this is a great thing to avoid. Old software is well known. You do not want to be the one to be affected by a bug t…

Writing off all the big computer shop stuff as irrelevant means you throw away all the experience and best practices and will be repeating the mistakes people made 50 years ago. An…

In the US, yea, inspections aren't universal, but the only inspection program I know of that has been scrapped was Florida's. I think there are more operating inspection regimes th…

Maybe they won't try to sue you for distributing the documentation and software, then :)

I feel like I am the only person around me who maintains (changes oil, rebuilt carb etc.) equipment and people seem to treat lawnmowers the worst. I swear I think people throw them…

Ford has been doing this for decades (I think I saw it mentioned in the docs for EEC IV.) It turns off fuel for a cylinder here and there intending to pump heat out of the engine (…

It's ridiculous that android devices ignore the dns server my dhcp gives, too.

I know personally both kinds of cases but unfortunately the career criminals are not as rare really as they seem to be for this author

When I lived in Russia (2000s) it was quite abundant and seemed to be cheap, it was part of nearly every breakfast that I didn't prepare for myself whether or not there was anythin…

Think back to the state of the art in the 70s when these were thought up. You can cite SIGSALY[1] but it took a really long time for these concepts to be flyable. AT&T was doing di…

> Studies have found that people almost always age out of crime This is in the local news today, DNA matched on a rape from 1990, the suspect was in jail already on another case. h…

You got it. When these birds were thought up, that was state of the art. Two years ago a dude I'm elmering told me he heard brazilians when he was tuning around with his sdr toy, s…

Last quarter I quit my job at one of the world's largest automakers and for twelve years I've had a small business on the side that serves specialist mechanics of all kinds, so I t…

Why not? I haven't seen anyone portraying the country as a state that respects the rule of law lately.

Does anyone remember if HP was punished for allowing a reseller to send millions of dollars of computers to Iran? I also saw HP logos on the monitors during footage of a North Kore…

Most likely the common parts will cost less at the BMW counter. Or, original parts on the aftermarket, because Toyota isn't bullying these suppliers and forbidding them from sellin…

Okay, I am in the habit of using pulls, and even some micros have pulls that can be switched in. That may be pointless when there is only one slave on the SPI, as it probably is in…

I don't think there is any deception with that, but if he said he did not have a power supply arranged for it then I missed it.

The demo shown in the talk was in an emulator, I have no doubt that he actually added his script into the filesystem in the emulation.

I think I found some flaws with this, now I think I am rather experienced but I haven't seen everything. 1) He didn't demonstrate it in real hardware without outside power and grou…

Not the c++, the functions they give for simple things, so you don't have to read the manual to find out for instance the name of the GPIO port register (a very small step) or lear…

Thank you for replying, despite my shitty abrasive attitude. No the normies don't know anything, that's why they are buying garbage like cars without keys, "connected" door locks, …

What were you thinking would happen? That you'd simply become the envy of magazine-reading normies and nerd conference attendees? Anyone who's pirated software knows that electroni…
