My comment wasn't about the tool, it was how people are treating the new tool. Much as they would when they learn other new tools. They tend to have a preference and apply it where…

Woodworkers often will have a preference for their favorite tool. Once they become comfortable with that tool they will sometimes prefer to use it for things it wasn't designed. Fo…

Not if my firewall blocks it from accessing the outside world. (But allows HomeAssistant to control it)

Brominated flame retardant?

You need some filler for the space at the bottom. Something like ads from the 1800's for quack medical devices or Radium Therapy. Maybe something wildly misogynistic advertising la…

They use the same image on their mini pc's page. https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/byte

The phrase "sufficient test suite" is doing a LOT of work here. You would need to know what the data from every sensor is supposed to be along with how every piece of the machine i…

This is way over simplifying here but I always understood it as: our eyes can see red with very little power needed. But our eyes can differentiate more detail with green.

Speaking mostly from personal experience here, if a kid gets a suped-up liver from their dad's smoking habits, cool. But how many kids fathers stopped smoking when the kid was born…

Better yet, instead of positioning it as an institutional-style research. You should frame it as an information hub for bovine castration techniques.

"The core-and most-critical component-was left-out." Jesus-h-cluster-fucking-catastra-christ. If one of these data centers ever catches fire I will show up and make smores.

How deep down the rabbit hole did you go with hardware optimization? In an ideal world, would it be better to compile this on a processor more RISC-y?

Viewing the page with Safari 26.1 the questions stopped showing up after the second challenge. I was left with only Learn and View Solutions, which was not very fun since both show…

Jeff, it's very cool to hear from you as I have enjoyed your videos for some time. I would like to make one request though. Next time you do a project like "How I almost broke MrBe…

I worked at a television station years back that was designed in such a way that the lights going up the tower were powered by the separate phases of three phase AC with the one at…

There is an error on that page. src=" https://www.media.snipettemag.com/wp-uploads/2019/09/cheese-... " should be src=" https://media.snipettemag.com/wp-uploads/2019/09/cheese-stre…

Can someone explain to me how this is different than a simple noise generator based on a PN junction? As in, isn't this just amplifying noise and aren't there less sensational ways…

Around here we have Epic. If you want a good scare, look up their corporate Willy Wonka-esq jail/campus and their policy of zero remote work.

I did one of those once and quickly found out that any display of personality was interpreted as an incorrect answer. It was made clear by the totally unrelated follow ups. I'd lik…

This will do more harm than good. I guarantee it.

The way Frontpage would vomit in the source code was the OG AI hallucination.

The internal diagram appears to be incorrect, https://www.555-timer-circuits.com/inside-the-555.html The internal resistors should be connected to the upper comparator. Also, that …

State-of-the-art for what could survive space. It used 486's for quite a while. You are still very correct, I just think it's funny that the "best" is not always what people think.…

My father, back in the 80's, told me about satellites in the 70's that could read your license plate. Using imaging tubes before CCD technology no less. The technology limitation i…

A company called Erim back in the 70's pioneered SAR systems. They had an interesting approach to processing and storage of the data which was all analog back then. They used holog…
