Renting storage, and accessing it over 10gbps at home may be cheaper than building your own multi-tb storage rack.

> What is the practical consumer (or even SME) use of a 10 or 25G connection? Remote file storage, leasing servers for things like icecream, or basic HPC, self-hosting for a small business, even a small DC can run off it.

What a lot of other people don't realise: - There is no such thing as a 25gbps home router. What's currently on the market is a very serious overkill ever for 10gbps.

This is why I tell people it is very impractical to engineer tricycles, as: They are less stable than motorcycles Putting in all kinds of complex leaning system makes them either even harder to drive, or so heavy, and complex that all the w

It's very remarkable how Colombo is packed with skyscrapers now, when the war has just formally ended 13-14 years ago.

That a first grade reverse engineering work! A work of this calibre, and quality level can cost easily $100k+ in the embedded world.

220V are not large voltages. It's within capabilities of a properly taught highschooler to make sound circuits for mains. It's when you get above 400V+, then the physics of electricity gets tricky.

Even device's own ground plane some times works. Though, it's near impossible to do with isolated power supplies. Modern ULP MCUs are incredibly power efficient, and can run for a day on a power of a single LED blink. Anything wir

A neat trick: there is almost always enough AC on the neutral, even when the line is off to run some very low power MCU, or even do some LED blinks.

It's very likely he can be detained, and let go out with some minders. Just sending him to Gulag would be too much of a bombshell even today, so they perpetuate his "semi-imprisonment" just to not let out people thoughts that

I will argue that monopoly on violence is more often than not a block on the society's forward advancement. There is a certain limit of outrage past which not taking things to violence would itself destroy any functioning society. Peop
