If you missed physical objects, they did not do ftir with fiducal markers, I guess? There were some nice demos back when that was novel, like over a decade ago. Some of the tables I saw at trade shows (e.g. E-World in Essen) this year also

Building diy multitouch tables has been possible for a long time now, given time, space and budget for that project. I fully agree that it ultimately boils down to software: Can I implement my favorite board game for my multitouch interface

This isn't exactly novel. I was recently visiting a gas peaker plant in the EU, built 10-15 years ago. It uses two jet turbines as found on a 747 (didn't ask for the exact type).

The trick is to get an inverter with a 48V battery interface, that's not locked down to a specific manufacturer. But you're right, most installers do high voltage batteries.

Residential batteries are not that expensive anymore, at least not all of them. That's a misconception I also held until a few years ago ;-) My first 14.3 kWh pack cost about 2800$ DDP from China, delivered 03/2023. For that one I

This is what Cory writes about: We need laws and regulations if we want to prevent enshittifiaction. In the US these laws have been dismantled since the 70s (if I get the text correctly, I'm not expert on US labor law). And in Germany

Depending on what you're building, memory is still scarce. Of course in the past that was much more common, but even today just doubling memory doesn't always fly: Embedded is still not a land of plenty; and not every computationa

That's pure anecdata. We don't even know your workload or configuration. Contrary anecdata: I just replaced my old SSDs: 2013 64GB 20nm MLC at 19% wear level and a 2018 500GB TLC at 34% wear level. Not because they failed, but bec

I'm not deep into the details of the AMD DRAM controller, but this detail could cause some of your anomalies. If this was an academic paper, the findings would be borderline invalid. You might want to remove the extra module and run th

What surprises me is the 24 GB of DDR4 DRAM on a dual channel memory controller? AFAIK there are only 8 GB or 16 GB modules, no 12 GB modules. At least I can only find 12 GB DDR5 modules listed, but not DDR4. This means: The system likely u

That's true, at least around here [Germany]. Plus the nasty stuff might leak into the environment over the decades, and it's a pain to dispose of. IIUC, they replace them with plastics since the plastic is seemingly more ecologica

The BT blob (or WiFi blob, or general radio blob) often controls low level aspects of the actual RF device. So you can often alter frequencies, power levels and other parameters. This results in the device acting out of spec. Now one might

The margin on this stuff can easily be 1000% when sold to hobbyists. Or rather costs of cutting the wire to length, packaging it, warehousing, etc. For a small number of orders, I wouldn't be surprised if this was done mostly by hand.
