This is kind of an unfortunate name. Broadcom has a utility for getting diagnostic data from their latest gen SAS expanders called scrutiny. I expect once that becomes more popular you're going to see some confusion around which "

If the Phy on one terminal isn't capable of receiving anything the Phy on the other terminal can transmit then all the software in the world won't help there. If the frequency bands for Tx and Rx don't overlap then you'r

There's not an HVAC vendor on the planet selling a CO2 scrubber for a building. All commercial HVAC manages CO2 levels via ventilation with outside air. They'll often use economizers and such to avoid losing all the energy put int

No clue what electrical in the Netherlands is supposed to look like but it sounds like it's a floating ground if you're sure you're feeling the same effect. Grab a voltmeter and check and if you're seeing 60-70V AC then

This has killed a few plumbers before. Not due to using it as a ground which is honestly completely safe but due to a faulty water heater that was inadvertently using the copper pipe as the neutral. The plumber turns off the water and cuts

That's due to a class-Y capacitor in the PSU used for EMI filtering. Honestly it's harmless and you'll even see this issue on a MBP if you don't use the three prong cord that has a ground. Normally it's so slight th

Compare the Stripe layoff to the Meta one. The severance terms are very similar and I think the Meta offer is objectively better, if only slightly depending on tenure. Both the Stripe founders and Zuckerberg are both "taking responsibi

I wonder if you could just simulate a skeleton and realistic maximum torque values for the joints and factor in mass and center of mass for each segment. Obviously that doesn't get you "how" to move each limb, but it at least

You can sideload apps for free on the Quest and Apple requires a dev account for $99 a year to sideload anything more than a trivial app or two. The Quest definitely feels objectively less locked down than iOS IMHO.

The big problem with the oft repeated "Let the house breath!" is that if you don't bother to control air leakage you're letting that unfiltered, unconditioned air percolate through the insulation which can be a good medi

MSG is ionically bonded between the sodium and the glutamate ion. As soon as it's dissolved in water you no longer have MSG, you have a solution of sodium and glutamate ions. Chicken broth is also a solution high in sodium and glutamat

Yeah I hate this trend of naming vulnerabilities and pandering to the tech press. The CTS Labs FUD was just beyond the pale. Most tech journalism just ate up those claims that were clearly B.S. and not even self consistent. They were claimi
