More modern implementations of this use a time of flight check, so unless you have the ability to violate the laws of physics, boosting the signal so that a far away key transmits its signal to a nearby car is insufficient to unlock/st

Right, so if you’re getting 480V hooked up you have a small commercial building at that point. And you probably still have 240V feed for the rest of the house. Also, these days you have many more options than just getting 480V. Running a VF

'Main processor' meaning the SoC used in a modern high performance device. Phones, tablets, or computers. Plenty of lower power or older stuff (RPI included) use older nodes just because that's available. Microcontrollers ten

People do that too. Fab ports to smaller nodes are something that absolutely happens, especially as older legacy nodes close down. It happens all the time.

GP is saying you get the same functional performance as older chips for less size, power, and cost. Nobody makes main processors in 22nm anymore, for instance. That’s basically what was used in production 10 years ago for processors.

The biggest problem for new EV drivers, in my view, is that EVs generally have extremely good traction control systems that prevent chirping due to the ability to cut back power to the motors much more quickly than you can with a gas engine

This (and the GP) are because your device supports some sort of fast charge USB-PD negotiation, but does not support what is known as “dead battery mode”. Basically, dead battery mode enables those pull down resistors by default (when no po

USB-C uses 24 pins if you use the same criteria you're using for HDMI. Making HDMI symmetrical would be simple, albeit a connector redesign. USB-C already has the same high speed pins that HDMI does in a method that allows for symmetry

Ultrasonic isn’t particularly useful for fast reactions. If it’s navigating around a parking lot slowly, sure, but if you’re going any reasonable speed it’s basically useless.

Yes, there is a lack of that tech. Power devices and any mid-complexity mixed signal devices use higher nodes like 22, 55, or even larger geometries. Not a lot of that capacity in the states and it seems to be mostly held by players that ow

Voltage control of LEDs is extremely unreliable. The amount of current consumed at a specific voltage will vary wildly depending on temperature, process, etc. Nobody does voltage control for LEDs unless you do not care about consistent brig
