No, I'm referring to each Wikifunction page on the Wikifunctions site itself.

Aerospace headsets... yeah, helicopter headsets might be the one case where you actually can find cable-powered active noise cancelling. But you're a long way out of the consumer sector at that point...

Those are battery powered, though. (And judging by the reviews not very good, and suspiciously cheap, so not really the same quality of product.) I spent a LONG time looking for wired noise-cancelling headphones a year or two ago without su

This post touches on a fairly common experience for me, which is assuming a kind of product must exist and then being surprised to find a complete gap in the market. It seems quite common for a particular market to have come to "concep

Here are my complaints about a Brother LED printer (HL-3170CDW): Rasterisation: - It supports PostScript, but the rasteriser is so slow it's a problem. If you print a PDF without any transparency in it it's fine. If you print a PD

Now we just need to expand this to include the right to fix software bugs - thereby banning restrictive code signing practices and locked bootloaders.

It seems to me this could also be an advantage for websites which want to make themself inaccessible in these circumstances. An enterprise which firewalls things so only port 443 is allowed out is also more likely to do corporate MitM of al

These are called "open-channel SSDs", which seem to currently mainly be consigned to research purposes AFAICT. But some do exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-Channel_SSD

I was just thinking about something like this. I'm not sure you'd actually need to have physical coupling from the train to the platform. Train lavatories used to just dump their contents out of the track. Given that tube trains a

There seems to be a fair bit of overlap with "base-building games" (a genre I'm fond of), including base-building games which I wouldn't necessarily describe as engineering games but just more generally management/s

I have an almost, but not quite, completely unrelated anecdote about this. I got on the internet in the early 2000s as a teenager, and would often be in various online chatrooms. Tricking people into visiting "shock sites" (most f

The correct move here is not to try and plead with the EU or do other things which implicitly recognise their authority to make such regulation. The correct move here is to hold such regulations in contempt and expressly refute any claim th

I'm sure this will be dependent on lots of signed closed-source firmware like Intel and AMD platforms, but there's always room for NVIDIA to surprise me, break character and do the opposite. It would attract a lot of people to the

My understanding is that COVID happened and schedules slipped, and as a result they decided to licence some IP blocks from Synopsys (like a DDR4/5 PHY and a PCIe 5.0 PHY). Synopsys likes including control MCUs in their IP (yes, their D

You can try to see if your provider supports "opaque" types in which you can submit the binary encoding of the record without them knowing what it is. Barring that you'll need to request support for it. It's an increasin

Both you and the grandparent are correct in that both propose viable attacks; it is a known fact (and not news to any expert in the space) that "domain validation" certificates are vulnerable to "global" MitM in which

Right, they could do this and this seems like a good idea to me. The problem this require-CT behaviour isn't switched on by default for basically any TLS library, so an XMPP client developer would have to go out of their way to switch
