The image at the top says it's a Supermicro B1DRi. I wonder if this is an actual infected board or if it's just for illustration purposes.

You can just buy counterfeit anti-tamper stickers but if there is a switch inside the unit that flips a bit in some sort of write-once memory, then that would require removal of an entire chip and replacing it with another that may not be 1

Why design and fly such a huge yacht of a lander when you could use a dinghy to bring in supplies to build a shelter that can withstand more than two weeks of use? Inflatable structures could be landed and assembled autonomously before astr

NSA can't hire the hackers they want because they all smoke weed. China sends all their drug users to the execution van so all the new CS and security grads can go right to work for the govt.

Russia isn't a member of OPEC but they still work with them. The oil cartels don't exactly have the same egregious violence that the drug cartels are known for, it's a bit different but the Saudis do have their own way of inf

And if you cheat on your wife, it's not like she's going to divorce you that day and be married the next. Not everyone can just pickup and go to the other fulfillment warehouse next door. Amazon has their warehouses in a lot of sm

I'm guessing for many people an Amazon warehouse job is stable employment near their small town that might not have many opportunities otherwise. Lots of small towns on this list and I can't imagine all of them had a booming econo

Except we don't have bodies hanging off bridges and school buses full of dead children because the oil companies want to show who's boss.

That case is a little out there, I've never met an non-pe engineer that has ever gotten in trouble for doing engineering. I think PE certifications are fine in cases where there is one guy having the final say on a massive project that

Going through a company like MOSIS is the best bet for university research. You get access to modern processes and reduced cost by sharing a wafer. Running your own out of date fab is dumb and expensive. One of the cheapest processes they h

I would rather spend some time setting up a solution with minimal maintenance than constantly be adjusting and tweaking my solution to get things to work just to browse the web. I use uBo because I rarely have to go in an tweak something an

Host file blocking on mobile devices produces some weird web browsing. I like using browser plugins because it gets rid of the whole chunk of html so it's like the ad was never there in the first place. On android, there are these huge

In no way would cruise control force an attentive driver to blow through an intersection. You hit the brake and cruise control stops. If you didn't hit the brake, you weren't paying attention and you would have go through it anywa

Oh, it's not better than normal wifi. It's just better than 1200 baud over VHF or even 300 baud over HF. It's just typical wifi hardware hooked up to high power amps and high gain antennas to get greater distance. People are

I wonder how much of the dashboard could really be relocated. Bosch had just began developing the CAN protocol that year and chips wouldn't be available until four years later. There's an illustration I found [0] that shows how th

AX.25 has no FEC but there is FX.25 which is an encapsulation of the AX.25 packet with a preamble at the front and reed soloman at the end. But the issue is the speed of AX.25, 1200baud is dreadfully slow to be adding much onto the packet.

by moftz 8y ago
You can run just about anything over AX.25 since it's just the data link layer in the OSI model. You could run HTTP on top of IP on top of AX.25 with TLS/SSL message encryption turned off so you don't run afoul of FCC rules.

“It’s unfortunate, but each camera will need to be updated manually by users,” So most people aren't going to bother unless they get an alarming email from the manufacturer (assuming they even have a list of customer email addresses).

Yep, write all of your lower level components in C to run on PICs (or HDL on FPGAs, either way you get high reliability) and have those interface with larger systems that run higher level software to display sensor data and offer a control

There are SPI, I2C, ethernet, and UART blocks that you can usually just drop right into your design for communicating with external chips.

It will never change but another latency to think of with regards to hardware is that electrical signals go at the speed of 6in/ns in circuit boards.

You aren't going to be able to build a super-fast CPU on an FPGA but there are plenty of other tasks you could give it. You can build a processor for analyze multiple sensors, looking for specific events that you could then feed to the

You can synthesize a 6502 on an FPGA just fine and can probably do it on this specific chip. There is a project I've seen ( https://danstrother.com/fpga-nes/ ) where someone did synthesize the 6502 along with the re
