The future is now: Modern houses around here often feature a "Ventilation system with heat recovery": You get fresh air that's heated using the air it replaces. And just let the system run 24/7. You can also recover&#x2F

> Comparing Bambu to Voron is an absurd comparison I politely disagree. I was in the market for a more modern printer, and it boiled down to either a BL or a Voron - in the end I decided against ease of use and in favor of an open ecosys

For some it's just a beloved ritual and shared experience :-) I've certainly seen it at least as many times sober as I have seen it drunk. First as a kid of course, but also now that I'm older (even though we have no kids and

How do you manage heat? I'm looking at a hashcat build with a few 5090, and water cooling seems to be the sensible solution if we scale beyond two cards.

This reads as if you did multiple API calls per "ping", and opened a new http connection for each API call? Did you try reusing the http connection (one per ping)? How about putting all data in a single API call and let the server

Uh, even the 3080ti had 12GB RAM; in that generation only the 3090 had more (24GB). The 2080 had 8GB. Just a nitpick; the guess is sound (though I would expect 4GB to stay for the office PC market), and obviously only time will tell what th

That's security theater. Some decision makers want to "see" it's secure, so that's what some "security" people sell. If I was doing consultation for your employer, I'd tell them that's insane and

Inertia is stored energy. To emulate an energy storage, you need to be able to get energy from "somewhere". That's just physics. Plus, it works both ways: If there is excess power, you also need to dissipate power from the gr

There are normal people out there who have been hacked, or knew someone who was. Also, some normal people are computer-smart enough to understand problems like credential-stuffing, if someone explains it to them.

What are the equivalent VR games? Just curious. I don't play too much VR these days, but enjoyed Beat Saber for "stationary movement", Gorn for beating up stuff and the VR ports of the original Serious Sam games for "run

For those not familiar with how this works/worked: At most universities, a similar fee was collected from all students. That was then used to finance a regional "public transport flatrate". N.b.: mk89 is technically not quite

A router you can flash with a modern OpenWRT is likely a good option. Check the project website and/or forums and/or reddit for recent recommendations. That's what I did in the past. Personally I've moved to OpnSense: So

I would love that, but I can see some issues: Embedded stuff (e.g. in your car) might use a proprietary RTOS, like "VxWorks" [1]. Then the developers might had to use a commercial toolchain from e.g. Hightec [2]. They could also h

Depends on your definition of beginner. It's trivial to put a nrf52 module (like [1]) in a PCB design and wire a USB socket to it; just make sure to route the data lines as a differential pair in kicad (add protection diodes if feeling

Thanks for agreeing :) safety also protects against preventable human errors. Maybe my examples are bording on sabotage, eg "sabotage by accident".

Safety is not really about reliability. Maybe as a means to an end. It's about not killing people and maybe not destroying too much of your facility in case things go south. Safety systems take over if your chemical reaction overheats

They're related, but they're not the same thing: E.g. when analysing a JS-like language and you see "x = a + b" with raw memory content a = {0x1,0x2}, b = {0x3} you get x = {0x4,0x5,0x13,0x23} - because you can't te

I disagree. DLP resin printers use what can be described essentially as a UV beamer. The DLP IC is called DMD - digital micromirror device. It is what it says, and contains lots of micromirror that can direct the light. The resulting image

Regarding firmware patching, look at InternalBlue [1]. I guess they did it for one IC, but obviously can't do it at will for just any IC and instead hand wave "it can be done". Overall I don't think it's impossible
