Right, if they think your "corporation" is just a shell to shield you from justice, they will just prosecute you instead of going with the charade of trying to punish your shell company. The feds rarely have trouble prosecuting so

Use leaded solder and either inspect the joint for complete coverage or solder dip the part beforehand. Then, conformal coat the circuit card with sufficient thickness for tin whisker mitigation. Conformal coat really is the saving grace fo

I stayed at a quirky hotel in Amsterdam where all of the rooms had different themes. The theme for this room was camera obscura. One wall had these large windows that had metal doors to totally seal out the light but the door in the middle

It's just a dock for a Pi compute module that has a built-in screen, keyboard, thermal printer, wifi nic, and some other interfaces for additional peripherals. You end up with a modern version of something like an Epson HX-20 or a Tan

Except there is money to be made in the green energy industry. There's no money to be made building a giant radio telescope. Sometimes corporations have a need for scientific institutions and their patronage helps keep the lights on bu

Except most of these guys either paid the bribe or had it ready to go until they heard sirens. These guys could have easily reported the solicitation but instead they participated in it. This isn't the case where a cop is threatening t

The "fuel filters" mentioned are firearm suppressors that are generally illegally used. Some times the filter is something that actually resembles a filter, sometimes it doesn't look at all like it would do much as a filter.

They would just have a single state-run CA and ban all E2E messaging apps from app stores. Only state employees would have access to an E2E messaging app that would only use govt certs from the CA. Any apps that continue to operate outside

These sort of documents are usually necessary when bringing in devices with memory in them into secure areas. Security likes to know what is in a device and if there is any special procedure that needs to happen to wipe any non-volatile mem

Original mission for Voyager 2 was Jupiter and Saturn fly-bys which was mostly a success. The idea is to engineer parts to survive the mission and maybe go a bit further if you aren't at a point of diminishing returns in regards to cos

Rain does a pretty good job at degrading digital satcoms. There's potentially a stronger signal from the Starlink satellite because it's in LEO vs GEO so it could work but it also could just not work well at all. If you want high

Easily changing the design and being the cheaper option to ASICs for small productions are the two main uses for FPGAs. You may be designing a box that can be configured to do different things so you may want to support multiple FPGA images

Cost of manufacturing something like this can only go down and there are plenty of applications where mass or power output/battery life of a device is much more important than cost.

The panels can help reduce total grid usage during the day to help supply power to businesses where people are during the day. A home AC shouldn't be running much during the day if no one is home so that helps with reducing the load. O

With the use of efficient lighting, running the AC or electric heat is probably the biggest energy usage for a house. Having solar panels supplying power during the day can help reduce the load on the grid from everyone running their AC. It

FOIA reports usually have a small textbox over the redacted information with a reference to the reason for redaction, likely made in Adobe PDF. Then the docs are either printed and scanned or just converted to an image only PDF.

Why not just copy sections of the Bible if it's just a sample of work? Why go through the extra effort of creating a new script and possibly a new language just to show how well you can write? Latin would have been the predominate lang

The new test equipment all runs Windows 10. It's weird to hop between pieces of equipment where some run still run MSDOS and others run Windows 7 or 10. They are all calibrated and still chug along doing what they need to do, just a li

When you drop off a package at the post office, you can either wait in line for an agent at the counter to scan your package (only during business hours) and give you a receipt or you can place them in a drop box (open 24/7). The drop

Theft almost doesn't seem like the right word for it. I'd compare it more like when someone sneaks into a movie theater without paying. You could argue about whether or not the people stealing these films ever intended to pay mone

Government pays for the work but does it through a cutout company so Apple isn't tied to work. They get the money to pay the Bechtel engineers and the government gets their iPod fairly.

At the time, an iPod might have been as innocent enough to not warrant any concern at a security checkpoint. Cellphones, cameras, and any other obvious recording equipment would be more scrutinized whereas a music player would not. Someone

Masks aren't 100% effective so being in close contact with someone for such a long time (a haircut for women can take much longer than a typical trim for men) carries a high risk of transmission from an asymptomatic carrier.

Regular people shop at supermarkets so they don't starve. Armies carry food supplies so they don't have to shop at local supermarkets. They bring barbers because tight haircuts are essential to military dress and clean shaved face
