That was a very fun read. Thank you.

Then these people _obviously_ are not fit to drive a multi-ton killing machine at all and should have their license permanently revoked, when they had multiple chances for introspe…

Sure. The prints fade quickly, especially in the sun. And they are susceptible to heat, rubbing your fingernail along is enough friction heating to cause a black line. So they are …

Huh. Never heard of it. But after quickly reading up on it, I'm kinda happy that my meter does not have that. Seems a bit overengineered. But that's to be expected from our DE/EU s…

Author here. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them :)

I just want to mention Oscilloscope Music [1]. You can find other artists on YouTube. It can be played on analog oscilloscopes with an XY mode. I also recently made a little player…

Awesome project! Yes, I've also thought about mounting the switches vertically. And more surface should also provide more grip on the table.

Interesting, I did not think about the possibility of moving the sensor to another position. But it makes sense. The Logitech Trackballs I've seen also have a slight offset that co…

Do you use Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) on the job or for fun? If so, we would like to invite you to participate in our survey. We are a team of young engineers and want to furth…

In Germany eating raw minced pork is a specialty called "Mett". There are high safety standards and it is only allowed to be sold on the day of production, with care taken not to i…

that's really just physics. warm air gets in through the opened door, after closing it rapidly cools down, because air does not hold that much heat energy. Because it cools it cont…

The Xbox 360 for example used these fuses in the CPU to prevent downgrades [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_eFUSE

I think you can, it has a native Mac port on Steam.

This blog post [1] has at least two anecdotal examples. Also see the corresponding HN discussion [2]. [1]: http://stop.zona-m.net/2018/01/indeed-it-seems-that-google-i... [2]: http…

They would need to MITM you somewhere, but that could probably happen in their audio driver that's already installed and running on the target machine.

Just to add to that: I'm studying in Germany and pay 140 Euros per Semester, so 280 Euros or a bit more than 300$ per year. So another order of magnitude less than your estimate :)…

I really don't understand it, to be honest I think it's unbelievable. I'd say we, as in the IT community, shouldn't touch anything coming out of the NSA with a 10 feet pole, even i…

Just a little nit-pick: checking for kernel extensions that don't have Apple in their name is definitely not the same as checking for 3rd-party extensions... :P

Cool, but a couple of days ago I used [another Android app]( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandra... ) that does the same thing, even with a cross-plattform…
