A thunderbolt cable

This is also why a lot of car bumpers have the make/model/logo impressed into the mold itself

I would expect power consumption to be fairly consistent for something like a surveillance camera that emits a stream 24/7.

RDMA offers that. The NIC can directly access user space buffers. It does require that the buffers are “registered” first but applications usually aim to do that once up front.

Can’t speak for others, but AVRs usually have excellent documentation IMO. I’ve even seen code snippets for peripherals.

Maybe a dumb question but how do non x86 boards normally boot Linux images in a generic way? When I was in the embedded space, our boards all relied on very specific device tree bl…

I like to rinse the plates off to remove larger food debris prior to putting them into the dishwasher. It’s not always necessary though.

Actually no - I forgot about my Bosch dishwasher that uses capacitive touch buttons. Great idea for something that is often touched with wet fingers…

My favorite is my Bosh wall oven that uses 85C rated capacitors with practically no voltage derating for the control board that sits directly at the top of the oven. After 4 years,…

Early (2003 for sure) 350z had it as well.

Yep. That’s actually the first clue that I’m dealing with a race condition/concurrency issue.

The ECU in my 350z also used a SuperH CPU - I think SH2?

It normally works in conjunction with GCC’s “-MMD -MP” arguments which provide .d files which then get included back into the Makefile with something like “-include $(OBJS:%.o=%.d)…

The problem is that it kind of relies on a lossless layer 2 (flow control) which has its own set of problems in large scale networks. This is what things like this try to solve: ht…

A double conversion UPS might do the trick.

We’re so lucky to have realoem. I was kind of shocked to find no equivalent for my late model GM vehicle.

Another annoyance for me is when trying to move the cursor to the end of a long text box like the URL bar in Safari. You basically have to keep using the “hold space bar” method an…

PCIe busses are like a tree with “hubs” (really switches). Imagine you have a PC with a PCIe x16 interface which is attached to a PCIe switch that has four x16 downstream ports, ea…

I consider it bus mastering when the endpoints initiate the transactions

Do you have any more info on this KVM back end for Virtualbox? I love Virtualbox (I know, I know) but the one annoying thing is the dependency on out of tree kernel modules (at lea…
