+1 for Loctite GC paste, used it professionally for prototyping and it has always worked well with crude toaster reflow. Still stuck on hot air and Mechanic paste at home.

The JLCPCB assembly service has a really limited parts selection and in general all microcontrollers and interesting parts are in the extended parts list. So most of the time you are soldering in the critical parts yourself anyway.

Maybe people are now used to the level of support they get from Google & Co.

I wonder what happened to NSIS, the NullSoft InstallSystem? Used it myself as a teen to have a professional looking installer for my software releases. I still occasionally see software with NSIS installers and Nullsoft copyright. So I wond

More like precompiled binaries being distributed by malicious stuff added in. How will you know which winamp.exe is the legitimate one?

Sounds perfect for experimenting with. Worth little and no likely problems with anybody.

This looks interesting, but is hidden behind a login/paywall. I can see how wihdrawing into your monks chamber away from the world to chase that ellusive contact to St. Helens while pounding brass for hours might have some effect in yo

My understanding was that this was demoed with some small coin by just hiring the 51% on niceHash for a few hundred usd. Edit: I was lookimg for the artivle I was referring to and saw that Ethereoum Classic (ETC) has been attacked simce via

I see it more as competing with Lattice, Microchip and things like Intel MAX10.

Reliability and in general it not beimg able to scale salvaging 5 chips to salvaging 50 000 chips. Your margins well be gone if there are any significant failures in the field. Salvage is ok for R&D or high cost assemblies with big FPGA

It might be sold for $299, but how much do they cost to manufacture? Nothing else in the space with the same specs sells for anythimg near that. And that makes me suspicious about how sustainable that price is.

Some versions had no prompt and some also modified the firmware in the users cd/dvd drive. It's wild what Sony got away with.

The hard things start below 28nm. Before that you can get away with more traditional optics and optical litho. I fully expect there to be domestic chinese fab equipment companies competing head on with Japanese and American suppliers in pro

That's a very interesting document for future reference. Decent ground truth on how to transliterate stuff like the EU does.

Yep. They ware the dominant instant messenger here. They would have had a massive user base from day one.

My understandimg was that the reviewer gets an extremely compressed version of the image, not full resolution, likely due to privacy concerns due to the potentially large rate of false positives. I don't trust them not to jump to concl

People have had tons of fun finding collisions and seeing how far they can take an image until the apple neuralhash algo thinks it different. It very much is not an exact match like what you would get with MD5 for example. But a "perce

It is also very hard to get buy-in for large new hydro plants. The resevoirs behind the damms cover a lot of area and people don't like their homes being under water. There are also ecological considerations like trout and salmon mig

But that banned user cannot radicalize others on twitter, the larger platform with a wider reach. Parler is a niche platform for people already down the rabbit hole.

Damn thats one electrically noisy inverter. I wonder how it passed EMC testing in the first place.

Raspberry Pi has shown that you don't need to be open source to be well liked. But you need to be affordable. And thanks to their relationship with Broadcom and Broadcom being Broadcom there are no cheaper clone raspberry pi's ou

Hah. That last part explains it all. Stuff like ST's official docs, IDE's and many libraries ware previously released under more permissive licenses. And then clones happened. For example GigaDevice ships the old ST IDE for thei

Could also be that they figured somebody might want to make an IR to wifi bridge solution. Or maybe somebody might make some RGB light strip with both local IR control and app control via wifi or bluetooth? It does make sense and IR receiv

ESP8266 and ESP32 (outside of that one variant with a RISC-V core) all run Tensilica Diamond Standard 106Mirco and Tensilica Xtensa LX6 cores, respectively. No ESP variant so far has had an ARM core. Which is kainda neat, but not unheard
