I aplaude the initiative, but I am skeptical about this. To convert and ICE car to electric you'll need a battery pack, BCM, inverter, motor, charger, heater core and mounting hardware at minimum. Even if they source all parts from the

So none of the tech news websites contacted VideoLAN and published their articles without checking their source. I believe this sums up the problem with online news: being first matters most to news sites. It drives traffic. Accurate report

It's your job to advice them to use the proper solution. But the customer ultimately pays you, so if they really want an email monitoring solution, you should built it for them. Also, the cost savings by automating the task should outw

Thanks for the clarification. Learned something new today =) What I've always wondered though: can loud sounds outside the frequency range that is audible to us cause hearing damage? So, say we have a 120dB 60kHz audio source, would th

That is correct. A pi 4 can doe h265 acceleration, but for anything other than a pi 4, use h264 content.

So does the pi 3 if you stick it in a case, even with a heatsink. I was using a pi 3 with a heatsink in the official case to play a h265 movie (which will be software decoded on a pi3). After about 10 minutes I noticed it started dropping f

Since the car produces 10.000Nm, I estimate the peak output power is around 1500kW. So at full power it could drain the 200kWh battery in about 8 minutes. In 8 minutes you will have covered ~33 miles @ 250mph. Of course there are many other

There seems to be some work-in-progress with supporting AArch64 for the rPi. This looks like a fun FOSS subject to contribute to once I get my hands on a Pi4. I like the low-level stuff. Does anyone here have recommendations where to contri

I think they got the crash sound from the onboard camera equipment, and the engine sounds from outside cameras. Then mixed it together with tense music for dramatic effect.

This is not an Apple situation. I own a Lenovo laptop and I also had to invest in ~450 euro in peripherals (TB dock, extra chargers, cables). That's just the reality if you want multiple places (work, home, on the road) to work comfort

Utrecht officially became a city in the year 1122, the oldest known records about Utrecht is that it was a roman outpost since 50ad. So I don't think it was designed for cars ;-)

People should really stop complaining about the dongle situation. Just about any portable device can be bought with USB-C or wireless. For fixed desk hardware (keyboard, mouse, monitor, ethernet) you should use a TB dock anyway. Yes, if you

I don't expect Alaska residents will immediately start buying AC units just because 1 day in a year reaches 32°C. 32C is not that bad, a simple fan is more than enough to keep you cool.

Don't do that. Your ESTA application can be 'randomly' selected for further inspection, which will cause a delay up to a couple of weeks before you get it. This happened to me, I was happy I applied well in advance of my trip

Yes, that is correct. But it does make it possible for a browser to retry a different IP if a 500 range error, or timeout occurs. But like I said in my other post: I don't know if browsers actually do this.

Not necessarily backup records, but you can add multiple A/AAAA records. There is no guaranteed order though. It is possible to have multiple A/AAAA records pointing to different loadbalancers, but I don't know how browsers w

by LeonM 7y ago
This is a good question. I'm not sure if the browser receives all A/AAAA records from the syscall, or just one. I guess that if the browser has the whole list, and the error is in the 500 range, it could retry a different IP but I

I just tried it on a modern machine (6-core i7, 32GB ram, GTX1050) on latest Chrome for windows, and the fly-by animations were still not smooth. I'm disappointed by that, but I guess the desktop app also never was smooth to begin with

Yep, the same goes for any BT, WiFi or storage controller chip. You can download the specs for most protocols, you might even be able to the get datasheet for the controllers, but writing a new (FOSS) firmware for the chip would be a huge u

The same would go for finding a practical hash preimage attack. Say you can quickly determine an input that would hash into a given output, you would have a very, very valuable technology in your possession. For both factoring or preimaging
