BladeRF is pretty cool. It doesn't have quite the frequency range of HackRF, but it's full duplex, and uses 12-bit ADC/DAC (vs. HackRF's 8-bit ones). Also it uses USB 3 so the bandwidth is not limited to 20MHz. (I thi

Anyone know the story behind why baudline hasn't been updated in seven years? The site has promised a beta version with some highly desirable features for a LONG time, but nothing. Also, since it's closed source, there's no

The estimate for my house dropped by 25% in one month when the market was still rising. I'm assuming that the cause was the house next door which was in poor condition and was sold for about 20% below market value. The buyer put $100

Is it just a coincidence that Musk's main competitor in the space business is called "The Boeing Company"? I don't think so.

The article makes no mention of single event upsets (SEUs). These occur randomly when cosmic rays can cause a bit flip anywhere in the chip. ECC is a good way to mitigate SEU effects.

I think the author never read Frank Herbert's book, but only saw the movie. Most people who hate the movie have never read the book.

I always hate to see "losses" claimed on money not collected. The copyright lobby plays the same game. There were no "losses", there was money owed that was not collected.

This seems like the sort of crime that the CFAA was intended for. He was a trusted insider for 14 years, and then this. Also, he obviously wasn't very competent if he didn't consider that the MAC address of the laptop would be l

This is not a new thing. Decades ago when Verizon contracted with Microsoft to "upgrade" their web portal, it was no longer usable from any browser other than IE. I had been using it from Netscape on various SPARC machines and f

I still don't understand this. If a blob of C code passes a large structure by value, doesn't it go on the stack? Why would the compiler be required to pass such an object only via the registers?

Generally the RTC in a computer is not as accurate as a typical wall clock or wristwatch. Although the RTC usually uses the same type of crystal as a watch, the circuit is not usually calibrated (tuned) as part of the production and test p

I suppose that you have now learned to not trust the United States Postal Service with your $10,000 package. FedEx or UPS do cost a little more, but in this case I think you would agree that it would have been worth it.

I did a similar comparison last year, but mine was for an embedded system with no FPP (MSP430). I was able to shave more than half of the average execution time compared to the (highly optimized TI) math library function. The only drawbac

Most people who are uncertain are probably uninformed. Anyone who spends the time to do historical research on the candidates will have more than enough information to make a decision.
