Crowdstrike marketing slogan on their website: "A radical new approach proven to stop breaches". I'll give them that: Putting all Windows computers within a company into an endless…

As a sidenote, there is even an open-source recreation of the TOS operating system for the Atari 16/32 bit computers called EmuTOS that is in active development to this day. It jus…

I don't get the purpose, at least of his minimal example. The author says he wants to make his code position-independent, i.e., so that it can be executed from everywhere in memory…

As other commenters have pointed out, this is a C64 controlling an MP3 player. People old enough to remember the late 1990s / early 2000s might recall that back then it was popular…

10BASE-T1S is more of alternative/replacement/upgrade to CAN and CAN FD, which use a single wire pair as bus, too. And automotive 100 MBit/s and 1 GBit/s Ethernet are also single-p…

Exactly. A few dollars is an enormous price saving the automotive industry.

You'd be surprised how much the reduced cable cost matters to an OEM.

Not really. There is no ring, neither physically, nor logically. It's based on CSMA/CD, like the "good old" coaxial cable Ethernet. (Optionally it can use additional methods to avo…

There isn't the connector for 10BASE-T1S or other Automotive Ethernet standards such as 100BASE-T1. OEMs (= car manufacturers) will often define their custom connector. E.g., the E…

... and nowadays, retro-hobbyists can add USB(!) ports to the 1040ST: https://wiki.newtosworld.de/images/f/fd/Lightning_ST_IDE_USB...

As for "there seem to be quite a few different Atari 1040ST board designs" noted in the article. There is actually a huge number of different board layouts. Look at the entries for…

When I had my "I want to build my own SDR" phase ;) ca. 15 years ago, I also used analog switches as a switching mixer - with a PLL running at 4x the desired frequency so I could u…

The quoted description is correct. The boot ROM loads code from flash: the "second stage" loader. That loader then (usually) configures the RP2040 to execute the actual application…

What are you trying to say here? Please have a look into the RP2040 data sheet to understand what "boot ROM" means. It is not programmable! https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp204…
