I have seen this play out with host devices with robust current limiting outputs. Sometimes it works for the connected device and sometimes the device sabotages itself when its own…

You need a soft-start circuit between the USB connector and your big cap. When you first connect the USB device, the cap has no charge (0V) so it appears as a short to ground to th…

The surface tension of the solder will pull them into alignment if the pad shape and solder volume are correct.

If you read the article, you will see that the technology is specifically semiconductor design tools required for developing high performance computing that the PRC would use for n…

Weren’t the Intel CPUs made in the US?

It would be for indefensible decapitation strikes. A world leader who would launch a surprise first strike is almost certainly narcissistic enough to be susceptible to blackmail by…

The isotopic content of the water matters too. Boiling point are not used to calibrate thermometers though. Freeze points and triple points are used for temperature calibration. An…

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your original comment - we’re having the same thought with MITM. Definitely more technically challenging but much harder to detect.

My point is that no matter what you tell the OS, there will still be one more device connected than expected. If you plug in a keyboard and two are suddenly connected, it’s still v…

Yeah, this is more of a UI problem that could be solved with a little effort. I would be concerned about a device that replaced the hub itself rather than simply adding a function.…

Maybe I’m missing something but these USB attacks require interaction with kernel drivers so if you plug in a dock that then presents mysterious storage or HID functions, you’re go…

They all leverage the masses. That’s the whole point. Otherwise it’s just a coup.

No, you are exactly backwards. Did the People’s Revolution win or did the students win? I seem to remember that the students were run over by tanks. Probably not being driven by hi…

With ST, specifically, I'm not seeing a lack of Silicon but a lack of lead frames. The recent shutdowns in China caused several batches of lead frames to expire unused, creating a …

What really kills me is that none of the complainers have any experience designing consumer hardware let alone running a business that sells those designs. Owning lots of hardware …

It’s genuinely terrifying. There seems to be no recognition that you cannot have labor unions and environmental protections with out tariffs to even the playing field with less scr…

This is pure fantasy. Minimum wage in the US is 2-10x what it is in low cost regions. Not even touching regulations. US experts travel to those regions to hand-hold every step nece…

Not flame proof though. You don’t want to put flammable things in something like a computer case that will be running unattended. I get that people do this stuff all the time with …

UL94-V0 polycarbonate sheet or fish paper. Heatsink could easily get over the glass temp of common 3D printing materials like PLA or PETG.

Previous comment means materialism as defined in philosophy. Not materialistic.

If it’s an IC engine, the convection heating is waste heat from the engine. So the electric heaters in the wheel and seats are massively less efficient.

If Apple doesn’t know, how does the user know? I thought Apple was just anonymizing but still centralizing the data. Genuine question.

This is racial discrimination for the Right Reasons, apparently. As long as everyone agrees on when we can and cannot discriminate by race, it should go very well.

Why are you so rude? I am a hardware engineer and I’m explaining how you establish trust with hardware devices. This information isn’t contained in a single data sheet, it spans an…

What if I buy one real device and clone the serial number? This has been solved more than a decade ago but it requires hardware with secure storage to maintain a private key. Some …
