Doesn't WTL do almost the same thing? It's existed for a while but was never very popular.

This is extremely common? After all, what does __ signal if not "suble difference"?

It gets negative review from people who don't like dongles, and those people don't care about the quality of chips inside the dongle.

HDMI over USB sound like hardware abuse to me. All systems I've only ever owned had write_mostly interfaces for video display. Really, USB speed limits are mostly bound by flash memory limits so manufacturers struggle to justify a repl

Every lander/rover keeps track of local solar time independently so they're effectively each in a separate timezone. I don't know what the orbiters use, presumably some variant of Julian day.

Are there practical attacks for write-after-free? Controlling where the OS allocates an important structure seems very difficult and mistakes would likely result in corrupting unrelated data and a crash later on.

Why is the top answer to "how can I work more" always "work less"? If you don't agree with that the poster is trying to do just don't answer instead of undermining their motivation.

Somewhat offtopic but it is strange that special-purpose languages for scientific computing even exist. It seems far saner to just have these tools available as a set of libraries for a general purpose programming language and indeed the wo

This is crazy scary and also cheap. How do you defend against something like this? In theory the OS could warn whenever an unrecognized hardware device is attached but nobody does it and AFAIK there is no "authentication" support
