Let's say that you're trying to create a fancy internet radio for mass production. You want to base it on linux. Instead of producing a PCB with a CPU and tons of support circuitry (hard) you can instead include a SODIMM-connector

Of course there is a big difference, your perfectly packaged charger is more than likely a fire hazard and you might not be able to tell based on the exterior or the first few weeks of usage. http://www.righto.com/2016/

Same problem, and I've been having the same issue with other sites. It's the after effects of Global Signs major screw up a couple of days ago [1]. They managed to revoke one of their own cross-signing certificates by mistake. We&

There are people working as cleaners in Norway that earn about the same as the average software developer. (cleaning offshore on oil platforms[1]). Norway has a very tight pay distribution. Most people earn close to the average/median

Yeah, probably a significant percentage. They're cheap enough that buying one, trying it out a few times, and then leaving it in a drawer won't bother you too much. I think I've five (of different revisions), only one is in p

ESP8266 was awesome, but lacked many useful features: - ADC (Analog to Digital converter) - IPv6 (IoT-chip without IPv6, come on..) - Bluetooth BLE - Enough RAM to pull of talking many of the protocols you might want to use over the interne

Neutered / castrated cats are often prone to overeating, it's better to feed them at intervals (2-3 times per day).

I have one of these. I'm guessing Ricoh is to blame for this, they recently bought eye-fi[1]. I use my Eye-Fi x2 pro card with my trusty old Pentax DSLR. Pentax is owned by Ricoh, meaning I was actually stabbed in the back by my own ca
