Looks like a dealer installed 'alarm system'. I bought a mazda in 2011 which had a similar system, as best as I can tell the dealer installs them as asset trackers for cars on the lot and then tried to upsell it to me as an '

It is not just "old" or 3G-only phones, it is any phone that is not explicitly on their whitelist. I have been using a f(x)tec pro1 for years on 4G+VoLTE on their network, and got the same text message saying they would terminate

A lightning bolt carries a current upwards of 100,000 amps, and has upwards of 10 billion joules of energy. A high end consumer grade surge suppressor might be rated for 1000 joules, and a few thousand amps of peak current. If lightning dir

Just took a quick look through the spam folder and found spam (real spam, like fake fedex invoices or whatever) from: pretty much anything vaguely related to crypto edaboard.com lastfm.com pcbway.com asus.com

Thanks so much for this. I confirmed that this works on a virgin firefox install, and was able to get it working on my config after messing with the search settings to enable search suggestions. The key here is that if firefox sees an exact

This is intriguing -- can you explain your preference setup a bit more to get this behavior? I was not able to get this to work on my setup. I added a keyword 'uniquekeyword' to the hackaday bookmark, but if I start typing uni...

This is actually the root of the problem, the address bar behavior in my firefox config always gives me the first hit as one of 2 options: 1. Base url of a website (in my case, it only searches bookmarks, but if you enable search history it

Tangential -- but my biggest pet peeve with firefox is its autocomplete behavior in the address bar. It seems to be impossible to prevent it from putting website.com before website.com/page_I_actally_want The specific case I have: I us

There is a button to import to fastmail, which worked very well--basically a seamless transition. The only manual part I had to do was copy over my filter rules.

Fastmail. Been using them for ever and they have been nothing but great. Really nice to have actual support if you do need it (I did once for a misconfig on my end of my domain records, they got it sorted in a few hours). I used the auto-im

There are about 100 comments saying the same thing already, but I would highly suggest publishing the code: 1. It gives your work more visibility. If there is a easy git clone route to reproducing your work, it offers a low effort starting

It really is amazing how much the state of the art in hub motors has come since 2012. Building silly electric vehicles is almost too easy now that you no longer need to wind your own motor and write your own bldc commutation firmware...

Grew up listening to these guys (in fact, even in the womb I was at their concerts) and I would certainly say that their music has shaped who I am for the better. It is absolutely bonkers that they (or, Fripp at least) are still playing mus

There is an youtube video[1] by the excellent channel Huygens Optics which goes through trying to make a microscopic tesla valve. The valve does not work as a checkvalve (it is sufficiently small that surface tension and all that work diffe

This is a wonderful story, I love the writing style. Learned a ton about CRCs and enjoyed the journey too. I also love the site as a whole -- it looks to be hand written html (proofs too!) without even so much as a css stylesheet.

You can already get a single rackmount server with over a trillion transistors. For example, the CS-2 [1] has 2.6T transistors (on a single die no less!) in 15u. If you are willing to count the transistors in your dram (dram has one transis

This is blatantly false, unless you are confusing battery for an assembled battery pack. In EVs each battery management IC can run somewhere in the range of 4-14 cells in series per chip, and they almost universally run banks of up to 100 c

The only change between this phone and the pro1 (non-X) is the downgraded processor -- so I encourage you to check out the original pro1 reviews. For the most part they are 'if you want a keyboard it is a good phone--it is otherwise me

The keyboard is actually a little bit too big for most hands, but I have been using this device for about 2 years now and generally it is a dream to type on. It took about a month to get comfortable with the layout but I can thumb type with

No, a modern GPU literally draws about 1000 amps of current. For example, a non-overclocked 3090 draws about 500w under load (some of this goes to memory, but that is powered by the motherboard not by the external power connector), at a Vco

by osamagirl69 6y ago
The reason why the VRM is tightly integrated with the asic is that there are extremely stringent constraints on the power integrity connecting these two parts. To first order, a decent GPU draws about 1000 amps of current, so even a single

I am genuinely surprised that the UC was able to get Elsevier to agree to this much, even if it does come up well short of their original list of demands [1]. I do wonder what this means for researchers, in particular there was no mention o
