Is this just the FS driver, or are there backwards-incompatible changes to the on-disk format when you upgrade? (ie, if I format a disk as APFS on current macOS then try and read it on Catalina, is it still designed to work?)

Mains hum is by far the most powerful source of electromagnetic radiation in most indoor places. And the device doesn't have to be connected to the mains to pick up EMI from it - turn up the gain on any battery-powered preamp and you&#

This is really cool! For anyone looking to do a similar project, it's worth noting that HackRFs are pretty low-spec SDRs by current standards: a number of more recent models, such as the XRTX-CS, based on the Lime LMS7002M front-end, a

This article is high on audiophile waffle and low on substance! Atmos-for-the-home is a fad that's being heavily pushed by music studios. It makes total sense for movies (the concept of an object-based audio standard which gets rendere

R32 (difluoromethane) or R290 (propane) both have ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and are in common use with new refrigeration units. This technology looks interesting due to its simplicity and could potentially be cheaper than existin

It's worth figuring out what your colo provider's power usage policy is. Mine were pretty lax (nominally 0.5A at 240V, but I had a PowerEdge 1950 there which would definitely draw m ore at startup!) I think they were mostly concer

I wonder whether (spinning disk) hard drives will still have a market in 10 years' time? I'd always assumed they were a bit of a dying breed and when the per-GB cost of SSDs reaches parity they'd become a museum relic...

This is a typical 1U server fan. https://youtu.be/YrU1D4bgn78 There's not a lot of space left in a 1U server, and to get the right airflow, the airspeed has to be much much higher as what you'd get in a normal ATX

Despite this being uncommon in consumer video cameras, it's pretty standard to see this in long-exposure astrophotography setups - not to prevent overheating, but to reduce sensor noise. Some setups use Peltier or even cryocoolers to g
