This is really annoying if the connector collides with components on an incompatible motherboard. You basically need a riser and a 90 degree "cheater" cable to get one of these cards working on a normal motherboard. That said, con

It's a bit harsh to say that I'm completely incorrect, since all the facts are there. I didn't intend to imply that Tesla needed to make it work this way, nor did I imply that the decision is justified, just that this is how

No mention of current, energy, what the cathode is made of, what happens to the electrodes after they have reacted for a long time. I don't see any indication that they actually had a test load and they appear to be using an AVR Arduin

"when using the normal door button, a Tesla's windows lower slightly to equalize the air pressure" Not correct - the real reason is because the Tesla windows are frameless and it is not possible to open or close the door with

What would the use case be, when in many situations solar coupled with very thin batteries can achieve tens of watts in the same size?

The refractive index of transparent polystyrene is actually pretty high so that's a neat idea.

Are there any situations where popups are blocked but no indicator appears in the browser?

Yes, all the cards that I tried were Mastercard.

I find the timing interesting because coincidentally I'm having an issue with Stripe. I'm finding recently on multiple PCs that all Stripe checkouts are giving me a generic-sounding error ("We are unable to authenticate your

Interesting. I've actually seen some increased delays from them as well, though I don't think I've encountered a situation that would require talking to them. I have had situations where I needed to reach out to Digikey to re

>SRAM is affected, which is why SRAM arrays should always use SECDED ECC. How many SRAM arrays exist in electronics we use every day that don't have, at minimum an error detection and reset mechanism? What about hardware registers t

I might put together a script for that because of the danger of making a mistake on a live system.

I've observed that error rates are not the same for every machine - there are very bad machines, which usually have some way of triggering enough errors systematically that they end up getting someone's attention, then there are b

I wish that it was easier to trim unused unpartitioned space. I find myself fumbling on BSD and Linux trying to remember how to get the exact offsets for that. You could write zeroes but there isn't a guarantee that the FTL will interp

If the videos that Louis Rossmann makes discussing New York's government mirror others' experiences, you are probably right.

Is there a possibility that very old buildings are grandfathered in with existing ducts? Maybe they should be required to upgrade that.

If buildings were required by code to have a more "fume hood"-like setup for capturing exhaust (with supply and return paths maintaining flow) then it would lead to better indoor air quality. As a bonus this is even a good idea an

Had a similar thing happen with "fake" (passive) PoE working fine but some types of network activity would cause the CPUs in the network devices to work harder, leading to voltage sag which would sometimes cause the remote side of

I gave up trying to fix sleep for now. The problem I was getting was a complete loss of the running session (including unsaved work) when coming back from sleep. I applied some configuration changes that seem to correctly put Windows into h

This seems like a great use for having a differential RTK GPS receiver at a known good location at the edge of a property. Once it's set up, the moving receiver can use the stationary receiver as a source of correction instead of relyi

If nothing else is on the same run, the amount of noise from external sources should be very low, which in many noisy RF environments is fine when you are only going 10-20 meters through a building. The transmit power of a wifi card is goin

From a certain perspective, isn't it more important that pause times be known ahead of time rather than how long they might be?

Makes me wonder how "enclosed and sealed" this compartment is. On various types of motors there is actually an access hole that allows you to change out the brushes. If I was evil I would just seal up that huge motor, weld it shut

You're assuming that people are going to use the smartest "best practice" way to do things from your perspective. This is not often what actually happens. It takes forever for people to realize that they should re-architect t

Reverse proxies usually require configuration changes to work. Plus they are single points of failure. Server Name Indication (SNI) is a fairly recent development as well - any apps written before that was widespread, or designed in that wa

The outside coil and fan also has to be sized for the worst case load that will be demanded based on seasonal climate. In some places this may influence the decision a bit.
