    Definitely something to look into, but I checked on eBay and they seem to have captive screw connectors I'd have to assemble a cable from. Not impossible but another thing for me t…

    There are photos at https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806185045998.html (I didn't insert one into the article), and a cross-section near the end. I could take a photo of the dongl…

    I didn't realize the filter leaked this much AC until I had been using the "working" board for weeks, without audible distortion (but it's still theoretically there). And I'd have …

    IIRC HDMI/VGA is I2C and can drive an I2C display, but it's normally only used for EDID display identification and DDC brightness control.

    3.5mm, I now know why conventional consumer audio devices don't use mixers, they're a ground loop party It's also that I don't know how to build a differential input not limited to…

    The CS5213 appears pinout-compatible with the MX929x, interesting. The AG620x is a chip I've had the misfortune of encountering; it was common in Amazon DACs, dropped signal output…

    It doesn't smell like a state actor to me, just gross negligence. Brushing up on the Reddit comment we wrote, the MITM isn't exploitable by default, since the client will error out…

    I think that trans people, being the ones with firsthand experience of dysphoria and misgendering, and being a disadvantaged minority ( https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/s…

    On top of that, legislatures, courts, and right-wing agitators are pushing to repeatedly worsen living conditions for trans people.

    I'm pretty sure they're still allowing puberty blockers for premature puberty, inducing puberty in cis teens, and surgically and medically forcing intersex people into a binary sex…

    It's chilling watching the latest political powers openly declare that trans people are not who they are inside and must never be allowed to become what they are inside, while elim…

    Why do half of your comments (most of the ones in uppercase) sound like they're written by AI?

    Reminded of the Super Pichu story where someone modded his ISO of Melee to increase Pichu's stats during a Melee tournament.

    My working model is that WebP images are generally a lossy copy of a PNG or a generation-loss transcoding of a JPG image. I know that lossless WebP technically exists but nobody us…

    A friend had to reflash a monitor (Acer K222HQL) with a corrupted EDID over the HDMI port. I confirmed that it has three input ports (VGA, DVI, and HDMI) each with their own EEPROM…

    You can override EDID in the kernel options ( https://foosel.net/til/how-to-override-the-edid-data-of-a-mo... ), but I don't know if you want to add a virtual monitor (unsure if ht…

    Do any monitors use the I2C multi-peripheral feature to allow both DDC communication and an I2C EEPROM to exist at different addresses on the same bus? Or is it cheaper to integrat…

    Attaching the write-protect pin to +V is literally free in the PCB design process; IMO not doing so is a design error or decision (though IDK how much thought was placed into allow…

    I have (too much) experience in EDID editing. My suggestions: - AW EDID Editor as you mentioned. - CRU is a Windows-only tool, and will modify the EDID files it dumps from monitors…

    I wonder if textbooks and papers could be easier to understand if they had a "go to definition" functionality for technical jargon, notation, or reasoning.
