I feel like claiming it is "working" and "3d printed" are tenuous at best. It did work... for several seconds before it melted. It was 3d printed... except for the turbine, shaft, bearings, and combustion chamber which w

The web interface of the chinese fab houses directly is way better than what these guys offer. For example JLPCB https://cart.jlcpcb.com/quote?fromDemo=yes You first order is $10 including parts and assembly for 5 boards wi

You can do this with any email provider that supports a catchall. I personally use fastmail and have been very happy with it. You don't need to 'create' the accounts, you just set it up so that *@yourdomain.com goes to your c

Awesome! I also suffer from this -- the public terminals at my university always start from a fresh install and these sort of nags are everywhere. I really wish more software companies would re-think the startup nags all together. It is eas

This reminds me of the story from R. Trebino about trying to get a correction published--in 123 easy steps! (spoiler alert -- the comment didn't end up being published after the 123 steps) [1] https://frog.gatech.edu/Pu

They actually made a flash based floppy disk for getting data off digital cameras back before usb was common https://docs.sony.com/release/MSACFD2M.pdf Sadly it required specific drivers on the PC and custom firmware o

I am not sure how it works on the amiga, but it was a common trick in the PC world to leach power off the DTR and RTS lines which idle at +12v and can provide a few ma of current per the RS-232 specs. This is also why a lot of peripherals w

I have been using pidgin since it was called GAIM, and it is quite honestly one of my favorite pieces of software. No anti-user features, minimal bloat, no nags, just a full featured stable chat client.

Bummer that they didn't catch it until years after it was published, but it is heartwarming to hear that the process went smoothly at least. I had a near miss publishing a paper in grad school, where buried in the ~10k LOC data analysi

Worth mentioning is that this is not the first demo of a cubesat with electronic propulsion, among others MIT has flown an electrospray based thrusters on several cubesat missions, for example Aerocube 8 [1]. There are also larger missions

It is somewhat anecdotal, but I had one of those and it blew out 2 usb-c docks. The first one went kaput about a month after I started using the magnetic adapter and I chocked it up to bad luck. The replacement fried about a week later and

Very nice writeup, I love the combination of fun writing style and hand drawn schematics with things quickly escalating to decapping chips. Also nice to see that the led is a real one, even if the micro does have the ability to override the

I love the emphasis on breaking out all of the GPIO pins, it is incredible today how many dev boards either leave pins as not connected or hard wire them (no jumper to disable) to some onboad peripheral. Looking at you stm32 discovery board

Exciting! I can't believe the incredible rate at which progress is being made on this front. And by a sophomore(?!) undergraduate student no less!

Thanks for the clarification! This makes sense, the reason your images look 'off' is that the normal thermal pallets (such as the one in your colorbar) are typically a roughly constant (or at least smoothly varying) luminance with

The device we had was 1.3MP--rough the same resolution as the composite image discussed in this article. The camera core was expensive, but the lens actually cost more than the sensor. Yes it was ITAR regulated. As an example of what I woul

I have done a lot of work with high resolution thermal imagers and never seen any images that look like these so I was curious what was going on. >I also simultaneously shot a black-and-white photo with a regular camera and a wide-angle

I am not a big fan of SaaA products, and $500/mo seems like a lot for the utility you are getting, but I just wanted to say I love your site design. I was going to ask how you built it--but there was a post 2 days ago with the details

To be honest, I feel like it is a completely fair request for these guys to ask for anonymous demographics (presumably to feed into their research) in exchange for providing this service ad free. I just wish that their certs hadn't exp
