Check out the Field Expedient SDR series. They offer a decent introduction for beginners.

My work is only tangential to the software engineering industry. Therefore, my view may not be as applicable as others. I think it’s inappropriate for this senior manager to have given any feedback about the status or requirements of this p

I don’t use any Alexa devices so this might just be an unknown to me, but this seems oddly staged. Is it common for children to “ask Alexa for a challenge” like that? What other “challenges” could Alexa offer? Obviously the suggestion to pl

I’m genuinely interested in advocating for the elderly in tech. Do you have any insights on the challenges Honor faces or has overcome? Especially in regards to respecting the real-world/digital privacy (let alone HIPAA!) while enginee

This correlates with some of the other reports I’ve read and I appreciate your skepticism. A “ban” is certainly not outside the realm of possibilities in China, especially given some of the new social policies, but we cannot afford to react

Also please let me know if you find or know of a better USB switcher! I want one that supports 4 inputs but can handle more than 4 outputs to switch between. 6 or 8 would be great. It’s very handy because I frequently have client laptops or

I bought the 8x8 matrix from Monoprice - they have a category for audio/video splitters. They brand it as the “Blackbird” line, but note that they rotate and update the OEM/manufacturer fairly regularly. They’re clearly rebranded

The 16x16 one I bought does. It supports (some form of) HDMI 2.1. The EDID management for all matrices I’ve tested is a bit odd. Pass through doesn’t always work with most monitors, and you can specify a generic EDID from a preconfigured li

I have addressed this problem by using a 4x4 USB switcher from Rosewill and an HDMI matrix, such as those used by broadcasting or A/V signage industries. I started with an 8x8 matrix and now have a 16x16. It’s dead simple to give each

You’re right - I misread the article by missing the part mentioning the adjustment needed in BIOS before enabling scroll lock. I’m glad the title was updated to keep the discussion going without editorializing. My mistake!

This is an interesting announcement. Are they aiming to cut into some of the Spotify market share? Anecdotally: I have a hard time getting Siri to play what I want. I like the personal station under “Listen Now” in Apple Music but Siri has

I agree, it’s disappointing. Personally, I justify my use case by considering that they have little incentive to “be evil” given their business model, and I have to make some sacrifices to get the outcome I want; not being able to inspect

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year after suspecting it for some time. I used Notion for this exact reason, but ended up switching to Obsidian with much more success. Notion is a great app and I even had a pro subscription for a while, but
