The IRS?

Presumably they had a brain scan machine (scanner?) nearby, ready to go. Everyone likes a joke with a prop.

Another old chestnut - learning some assembly allows you to read it, even if you don't ever need to write any. There is real value in understanding which instructions your compiler…

Semiconductor manufacturing is very planar - it's made up of many layers on top of each other, with some interconnecting features or vias between layers. It's a best-case scenario …

The very popular 858D temperature controlled hot air stations only run about 50usd. Performance is much better than a hardware store heat gun.

Posting to another site first is very common, many are just using Patreon instead of Vimeo.

Big entities buying in bulk are part of the demand for the backdoors.
