You can do that on Earth if your thermal vacuum chamber is big enough. They will run accelerated hot/cold cycles while under vacuum to simulate something like 30 transitions but if the glue in the hole held out through the entire test,

Right, no one is doing mouse autopsies to determine the murder weapon but we don't wholesale kill humans in the quest for scientific research either. Don't discount a medical examiner's job as not being science. They aren&#x2

Microsemi can use a 111MHz clock for their RISC-V implementation but they recommend a 70MHz limit on the milspec FPGAs. If you scroll down in the readme, they list some other max clock rates for other chips. Also, you can usually mess aroun

The decoy has its own radar signature, its really small. It can mimic a larger object by receiving, amplifying, and then transmitting the signal the enemy radar signal. Smaller objects can get closer to radar before they are detected so the

No you don't, you are not the creator of it therefore have no claim to copyright. It is not an original work of authorship. You can have a patent on DNA but not on naturally occurring DNA according to the supreme court.

Supposedly Apple will match up to 100% after several years of employment. Tim Cook is above the catch-up age so he can throw in $24k/year and I would imagine he is doing that, he can definitely afford it. So maybe Apple really doesn&#x

It's cheaper for contractors to slap together a bunch of COTS stuff and get good functionality for a "low price" versus building the perfect system from all-in-one designs. The manufacturers aren't going to make military

I can wire my entire bank account away without any 2FA with online banking. My bank just started doing SMS verification for new devices but that's still not really enough. Like just get on the TOPT train and leave it alone.

What was really fun in 7 was the weird state Windows Update would be in if it had not received updates in a long time. It would hog CPU and do nothing. You would manually have to download a couple key patches and apply them before Update wo

Exactly, they can put much more into a 401k and then move somewhere cheap to retire and have a much higher standard of living than the $50k guy would.

Even though it is a lie, it is a lie that is for the greater good. Maybe the company will realize how much time their call center employees are wasting filling out cancellation forms for the deaf and instead just make the form available onl

I never realized optical wave guides were a thing but I guess fiber optics are a medium that sort of mimics how RF wave guides work.

An obvious CCTV camera on the ceiling is different than a hidden camera or a hidden voice recorder, they even make fake black domes to make people think they are being watched. Also, some states differentiate between audio recording and vid

I don't write much VHDL or Verilog for my work. Most of it is combining cores together that are either from the vendor or are generated using Simulink. Occasionally there needs to be some glue logic to link some blocks together and all

Add government red tape on top of this and it can take a week or more to get a COTS part ordered from a vendor that sells all of their stuff online. Heaven help you if the vendor isn't in the approved vendor list, that's another w

I'm not really sure what the benefit of having a remote operator landing the plane vs having a computer do it. I guess the remote pilot can be the third tier in who can land the plane (in-seat pilot, computer, ship remote pilot) and fo

There is more involved with landing on a carrier vs a land runway. The carrier deck is much shorter so the plane needs to grab the arresting cable and there is only a small window for this. If you miss it, you need to quickly speed up and t

There are systems used by first responders that allow for radio basestations to be connected to landlines to run to other basestations. This allows you to create more coverage area for your network. The radios run a trunked system that is m

It would be even easier and less vague to just pop out the SD card, open up /etc/network/interfaces, and edit that to add your network. Pop it back in and go. This is what I've done when setting up a new raspberry pi ima
