    Wow, these FPGAs are not cheap. Don't they also have a couple of ARM cores attached on the SOC?

    Highway speeds are worst case scenario so maybe you're right but I doubt it. Your charge rate acceptance number is surprising to me, I've never seen anything like this in my years …

    EV battery engineer here. It's not hard. Battery management systems are often over engineered but the state of the art is fairly straightforward and will allow battery packs of suf…

    You're correct, I don't use SIMD instructions much, but I can, and with a C compiler. So still, not sure the advantage of ASM.

    Not true, all my boards have been subject to the tariffs going back to the first Trump administration.

    I highly doubt it's true. I can usually approach the same speed in C if I'm working with a familiar compiler. Sometimes I can do significantly better in assembly but it's rare. I w…

    Which they exert through promotion or demotion of speech. In the end it's still a free speech issue in my mind.

    To mimic the effect of gravity on the surface of the earth you could stand on a platform that is accelerating. As long as that platform is accelerating you will experience somethin…

    300k on my Toyota right now. Most modern ICE engines should last 200k with no problems. EVs (other than the battery) should last a million miles. Even the batteries are turning out…

    All of this is easily done on a filesystem too. I would assume this is a performance tradeoff rather than features?

    It works, and well, considering the constraints in iOS, but doesn't compare well with Androids version. Regular sync thing on Mac is awesome.

    This one is way more battery conscious as well. Works great, I prefer it.

    Maybe I'm being ignorant about something here but isn't paying less attention the whole point?

    No, probably not there are no phase issues if you just don't transmit the signal. The hard part would be to determine who's in the room, and then who's talking and then mixing appr…

    I think this is much simpler than what you're suggesting. Careful microphone level management can handle this. No need for audio sync. I know they use the word "sync" but that's a …

    I have the 10 pro and although the camera is definitely an improvement over the 5 I used to own, the overall performance is about the same. I still have my 5, and use it a lot for …

    Confirmed. Zbiotics works great. It's a very noticeable difference.

    I feel like it's a worse UI and worse experience. By leaps and bounds. Less reliable, harder to operate, over reliant on terrible software and underpowered hardware. Some of the an…

    I only have experience with citrus, but as far as I know you can graft forever. Some variants don't have seeds, this is the only way to propagate them.

    Kicad stores as XML as you probably know and is fairly human readable, so I use git on the project folder directly. Works great, although manual merges are a little involved, but I…
