A lot of the time, people ignore over small, simple things because they either assume someone else already took care of it or that it's such an obvious thing that how could anyone not notice. The checklist forces you to actually look u

If you want to do the work, adding in crown molding after running some cat6 can make the room look much nicer if the style fits. You can then drill a hole in the drywall at the top of the wall, drop the cable down between the studs and inst

You could make finer resolution magnetic field sensors. For example, scanning magnetic microscopes are used to image the weak magnetic fields of integrated circuits. You can gain better insight to the design of the circuit and find weird th

Those people (or their insurance) are willing to pay for treatment. If the market is there, why not fund some new research into treating lung cancer? Not every incidence of lung cancer is from smoking two packs a day, sometimes it just happ

I can understand the utility of a basic fallback font that just works but if you are already building a large web client, why not just include the fonts you actually want to use? That way you get the look you want at whatever resolution wit

I work in aerospace, FPGAs are the dominant chip. Everything from basic microprocessors to complex SDRs all run on them. Xilinx is the big one but there are smaller shops making more application-specific chips.

You could go the computer engineering route. It's a nice combination of EE and CS classes that will give you electrical theory experience that a CS major will not get and more experience with digital/software design than an EE wil

I remember when staying with relatives when I was younger and calling long distance home for a minute to tell my mom to call my back on her cell so the family could talk for cheaper. I'd wait around until it was late enough in the even

I can't imagine the antenna is anything wonderful considering the size so it would make sense that they added in the storage feature to compensate.

Take a look at the front and back of the Airpod flexible circuit board, there is pretty much no room for anything else. Even the smallest nand flash chips take up more room than the circuit board can offer. The airpod case has more room in

Noise cancelling headphones would still let you something clicking right in front of you. In fact, open-back noise cancelling headphones would be better to wear than something that just muffles the noise if you need to hear your environment

You could use a Zynq FPGA that has a built-in dual core ARM processor. It has 512K of L2 cache and 256K of memory, more than enough to basically copy the same architecture into that design. It also has ADCs built in so you can implement ana

Most schools require the organization that administers the exam to send the official scores. I can't imagine any school worth going to would allow for self-reporting of scores. It seems like the guy in charge of all of this had everyon

I bought an x41t to use for school a long time ago. It was an ebay special, $100. The slow HDD was a pain in the ass since it didn't use standard 2.5" drives so I couldn't easily swap in a SSD. I had an issue with it where th

My x200 doesn't have a trackpad but the next model came with one. The space available for a trackpad is not much so I'm guessing they ditched the trackpad so that they didn't have to sacrifice keyboard real estate. The keyboa
