Do you really need DMA if your controller is fast enough and has enough memory? Couldn't you just emulate that behavior with modern hardware?

You'll find counterfeit chips stamped with a legit part number, you get blank chips that never had markings, and sometimes they even go to the ridiculous step of using a laser to etch away all the existing markings. Most of the time it

That just deflects the question one level down without explaining anything. "Because it is" is not a helpful answer to "why?"

No matter what arbitrary value you assign to the electric charge, quarks will always be 1/3 of that. That's the problem in question, not the absolute value.

Driving is a luxury in the fantasy world you want to exist. In the very real world that we have today , it is not. I agree that cars are bad and we need public transit, but that is not the reality we are in right now. Today in the real wor

Wow, you're right, that should be a central argument in the case for better public transit or something! I can't believe you're the first person ever to raise this point. Good job!

My examples were from Cincinnati , one of the major cities in the US. Unless you live in the downtown proper, you must have a car to survive.

I've been tinkering with a custom programming language that compiles into a blueprint of Factorio logic pieces. Apparently normal Factorio doesn't cause me enough suffering. I have to invent a problem to solve in the most absurdly

You'd think that with as many hundreds of 4-4 balancers I've built, I'd remember the correct arrangement of splitters, but no, I somehow always flip the input or output splitters and end up with a subtly wrong balancer that I

Dishwashers work by spraying high pressure jets of water filled with abrasives. Water which is usually also full of organic compounds of many varieties. I'd say the conditions are not dissimilar.

The assertion is that raw untreated stainless is a bad idea for a car, so yes.

It's just bare, raw stainless steel without even a clearcoat? Who could possibly think that's a good idea?

>You can also tax cars until demand decreases Ideas like this disproportionately affects poor people and minorities. Sure, you've reduced traffic, but now only the Right Kind Of People can afford to drive. Not a great look.

Mastodon.social. These enormous monolithic servers offer the worst experience and degrade the whole network. And now joinmastodon.org points you at mastodon.social first, then a list of the largest servers. In other words, centralizing.

If you want your program to execute as fast as possible, you have to worry about the speed of light! A trace a few millimeters longer than its partner can have nanoseconds of delay which can easily corrupt your data! And don't forget t

Huh. You know what, I kinda dig it. I could do without operators being condensed into ligatures, but that's just me. The gigantic triple equals strikes fear into my C programmer heart

It's unfortunately not that simple. For most parts you can get breakout boards or dev kits that implement the chip and all its support circuitry. You can drop those into a simple PCB or just a breadboard and get going pretty quick. Thi

I really don't see centralized social networks bring competitive with the fediverse for much longer. After all, how do you convince millions of people to use your service and pay for it while you spy on them, sell every scrap of data y

No, because Windows would recognize when a WMR headset was plugged in and throw up a big screen inviting you to install WMR at every boot and at random times between.

I won't miss it. WMR was by far and away the worst experience available on the market. Putting aside the numerous bugs in the VR environment, the software itself was typical Microsoft garbage. It absolutely infests your system and clob

> Nobody does what you describe. Counterpoint: I've never heard anyone do what you describe. Therefore no one does it, even though you've just described to me who does. What exactly is the threat in using a local admin account?

Seems like a horribly convoluted way to manage permissions. Also I have never heard anyone suggest you shouldn't use a local admin account. That's the exact problem UAC was meant to solve. Having used an unprivileged Windows acc
