Try the SponsorBlock addon. Nobody's added anything for this video, but there are a lot of other videos that have their ads in its database.

Sure is. See this stackexchange link: https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/12115/is-using-15-am... So what I think what the contract was specifying was several 15-amp receptacles, spaced 20 feet apart, from whi

I've done this. It doesn't hurt. In fact I didn't feel anything besides the battery terminals.

Car 12v systems can be really noisy. The inverter and power bricks are pretty much guaranteed to filter all that out. Besides that, this way doesn't need any soldering, which is nice.

They look like anchor points for small vertical cables running to the dish. I would guess to keep the dish from moving around when it's windy?

Are you actually the owner of steve.com? Because I've been ordering Dominos pizza with the email steve@steve.com for years. Edit: nevermind. I see you own the .net tld. I've definitely used that to order pizza too. Sorry about tha

If I were you (and I was) I'd seriously consider going to rehab. They'll have experience easing your withdrawal symptoms and getting you on a road to breaking the cycle.

I'll concede that yes, technically, the disconnected wires become an antenna. The audio signal will radiate away from the section of wire between the amplifier and the switch. But the reality is that the signal is unmodulated, and the

The original post had the phrase "hard to not call" rather than "hard not to call". The meaning is inverted by swapping the "to" and "not".

Probably referring to FTDI-Gate, which is where FTDI shipped a driver that bricked counterfeit usb-serial converters.

Yes, but if garbage never caught fire nobody would bother inventing better fire suppression techniques. Also, nobody ever saw a fireman by hiding inside with their window blinds shut. Take a peek outside, what you see might bring you hope.

Personally, I doubt I would get along well with an assistant that was keeping score of all the times I was wrong, and always questioning my abilities based on that. "Dave, you have lost your wallet exactly 19 times in the previous 29 y

Can't you delay the signal sent to the center-parts of the polarizer relative to the edge? I think the panel would appear to switch all at once to somebody far away. Seems like this would increase the bandwidth.

You can also use the Debian package i2c-tools to communicate with things connected to the busses on your computer. I once used it to play with a set of Melexis IR sensors I'd soldered to the VGA port on a crap video card. It made writi

I'm sorry for you. I bought the same laptop and you're right. The touchpad is gar-bage. I purchased it with a 2.4-only wifi card. Did you know the bios enforces a whitelist restricting which wifi cards you can install? I didn'

I mean, a flag that moves in front of an ir sensor might not work if the light can leak between the flag and the sensor housing. Also, not all sensor housings are sealed from behind. Some of them are just a tiny folded-metal can that have g

Not to detract from your overall point, but electrical tape isn't transparent to IR. Quite the opposite, in fact. It doesn't matter though, because the scanners don't use IR. They use a red laser which is in the visible spect

That recall is actually far larger than a few airbags made over a couple days (it's more like 65-70 million airbags) but this is exactly my point. The operating principle of an SRS system is pretty straightforward. Computer detects a c
