You'll be waking up half the neighborhood with those unless you pack them with so much grease some of it escapes around the tracks, making the whole thing ugly.

There's lots of distortion (like digital clipping but low-passed, if that makes sense) at the louder parts of the song. It also seems that the processed sample has its dynamic range reduced by a lot.

For some reason this story dropped way too fast off the front page.

ei-spinner-3 bothers me somehow. It's like its center of rotation is not fixed... Unbalanced spinners looks really janky to my eyes.

Well, depending on the gain of the monitors, it will not matter With low enough gain you will have enough headroom, with high gain you run into hissing from the source. At a high gain the hissing from the DAC's noisefloor will be domin

A 24bit digital format doesn't mean the DAC actually has 24bit of SNR. Hell, most DACs in computers, phones and the like struggle with producing 16 bits. Not to mention that even if you had that headroom, when approaching the threshold

Do note that the vehicle in the pictures is just a Swedish CV-90 with some plastic bits on it, a (probably) mock barrel and various systems. To my knowledge no prototype hull has been completed to date so I find various claims that speak of

Here in Europe, standalone routers are not very popular, since ISPs provide CPEs (customer premises equipment) that are a combination of a modem and router with multiple Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi. The norm is for the ISP to configure them wi

One of BTSync's advantages is that it's a lot faster (since it uses "only" 128-bit keys) and (being a C++ program instead of something written in Golang, possibly also using more compact datastructures) that it consumes

I can imagine trying to keep a magnetic connector in place while using the device in the bed (with all the connector nudging and cable stretching that entails) annoying.

I don't know, I can't say I agree with the article. I grew up (and still live) in a small apartment in Greece. My family had fans (because air-conditioning was expensive back in the day) all around the house. We "managed&quot

The animation shows a turbocharger but it also shows that the engine operates on a 2 stroke cycle. Conventional wisdom would say that the turbocharger would be a waste since both intake and exhaust ports are open at the same time, preventin

To my knowledge you can use a TTL of 0 and then you have no problems.

Minor nit, not everyone has their notification area at the bottom right of the display (I use a vertical taskbar on the left). It'd be neat if the notifications showed up near the notification area.

A projectile speed sensor is relatively trivial technology and could enhance the system a lot (since barrel wear and gas system condition affect projectile speed) and would make the system compatible with different grain ammunition (though

Firefox uses the Windows-bundled decoder on Windows Vista or later. Chroma upsampling happens after decoding so it's the renderer's responsibility (Firefox, Chrome, VLC, madVR etc). Depending on the webpage you uploaded them, the

This isn't a "factory" robot. Maybe a toy for some hardware startup to waste VC funds on but not something you'd want in a proper factory.

I swapped my motherboard and CPU too a month ago (from an SB i3 on an H61 mobo to an Ivy Bridge Pentium on a B75 mobo) and everything worked fine on the same installation. I only had to install the chipset INF drivers, Ethernet and USB3 dri

The Moto E SOC has two relatively slow A7 cores and a slow graphics chip though. Something to keep in mind.

Nice, a benchmark that tries to measure something else than JS speed (because it's not really JS that is the actual bottleneck in webpages people actually use). There's also Dromaeo but for some reason it has never gained enough m

It's interesting that this came, seemingly out of the blue, a little after it was made widely known (from the mozhacks article [1]) that Opera developers were working towards integrating pdf.js into their Chromium fork. [1] https:&#x2

Well, the large majority of home/SOHO APs/routers are Linux and my experience with Marvell-based devices in this segment was not good. I buy Atheros-based WiFi devices when I can.

by ferongr 13y ago
That means the WRT1900AC is not one of your choices yet, right? Also, I'm personally very bummed by the fact it has Marvell WiFi. They tend to be really mediocre and buggy, both in Windows, Linux and embedded applications.

I was talking about soft-clipping, not clipping in general. I know that the volume control in VLC can increase the gain of the signal beyond full scale.

VLC doesn't soft-clip to my knowledge.

I don't know about other markets, but here, the majority of the absolutely cheapest Android phones (45€ inc. 23%VAT) run at least 4.1.2 and have 512MB of RAM. I don't know how lower you can realistically go. Is a 128MB RAM really
