Glitching the power to force a CPU to misbehave at the right time is a time honored hacking technique! Great story

Yes this would all be true, if it were true. It is likely to become true at IFT-4 but they are very demonstrably not quite where you say they are. This was still a suborbital flight and they cannot do much of anything that is commercially p

I remember overclocking my calculator (TI-85, 1992, Z80 CPU) ... its LO was a 2.7K/22pF RC oscillator which gave it an approximately 2.5MHz clock. To get this type of oscillator to speed up you'd normally lower the capacitance a b

How do you come to that conclusion? It does not appear to be reasonable in the slightest. It's an OEM box, so it's not likely that you are paying for any direct engineering/lifecycle support. The additional ~70% markup doesn&

Glad to see this; not glad to see the huge price disparity on stuff that's clearly OEM though; does anyone know who builds the hardware?

There are a number of ways to probe a data bus for the presence of a signal. You don't need a scope capable of fully characterizing it to know it's there. And furthermore it wasn't difficult or expensive to get ahold of a 10

He only used the scope to look for activity on the pins; he did not really rely on any of its "modern" features. His mod was well within the capabilities of the home hobbyist at the time. Swapping DRAM chips around was a well trod

n100 is overhyped IMO; I would prefer vendors focus on the connectivity and application requirements first and let the choice of SoC follow. The most important factor for this type of application is really PCIe lanes. If someone (other than

I think there is a severe miscommunication of what is meant by "edge" To me, a technical person, the "edge" is the work-at-home office, a retail store, a 5 person branch, a jobsite, a delivery van. If "edge" wa

Sorry in advance for a fatalistic argument. I disagree. Efficiency gains lead to more economic opportunity and therefore increase demand. People are not content to "do the same with less;" they will instead "do more with the

Thanks for posting this; it helps explain the rationale behind the SMS-to-telegram pivot that is common to see in phishing scams.

By "good" I assume you mean "possible" because there is nothing really good about a connectivity solution that is both technically inferior and vastly more expensive than it ought to be. I'm not opposed to Thunderbo

I actually do run a production edge cluster with these exact boards; they are just too old. The price/performance is so far off the mark WRT modern hardware they are simply not worth using anymore. I have started hitting CPU instructio

In my experience, a second nic is important to build anything with resilience; it's not just for routing. I see it as the most important hardware to "double up" on. If you are building a small cluster, for instance, you gener

One additional NVMe slot and 10GBe nics would make the H3+ an object of absolute perfection. So close, and yet so far.

IMO one of the biggest frustration I currently have with homelab-scale gear (and edge compute in general) is how everything has massively regressed to only offering 2.5gbit connectivity at best. Try to find one of these hundreds of small fo

It's not necessary to come up with some novel whackadoodle idea to fix this. The solution is to charge enough for power that the grid can be maintained to deliver it. The public have been giving themselves a pass on this since the 1960

I agree to the extent that the Voron ecosystem has developed to the point where it's actually possible to buy and build a complete kit and have a working machine at the end. This has not always been the case for these high performance

I will give that a some of my understanding of the Voron ecosystem is a bit dated. It does seem from further discussion here that at least some of the Voron designs and some of the Voron kit sellers have gotten to the point where they are c

Maybe you missed the part where I said I scratch built a delta. I should add that I did it maybe a decade ago, and on top of all that I only printed ABS. In retrospect, although I believed to be choosing technically superior solutions, I ca
