This is an extremely common and widely used standard for analog and digital connections for pro audio. I just wired in a bunch of DB25 gear last week. For low end / mid range digital stuff it is more common to see ADAT optical digita

The Leaf solar charger is for the 12 volt system, which is separate from the main battery. I can't really conclude if it is a gimmick or not but my 12 volt battery has not yet died. To be fair, the car also charges the 12 volt batter

If you are paying for the session its completely reasonable to ask for a copy of the session files IMHO. If you are going to tape and they want to erase it and re-use it or something I would at least negotiate dumping it to digital.

50 years from now the problem will be that we have preserved digital masters in the form of session files for various DAWs and it will no longer be possible to patch together the correct hardware, OS, plugins, and virtual instruments to rec

Orbital Sciences Antares rocket uses previously mothballed Russian NK-33 engines. These were originally manufactured for the Russian version of the Apollo program but never flown. These are 70's vintage engines that get refurbished a

Vinyl releases are mastered to be less loud than digital releases because vinyl cannot reproduce mixes that digital systems can. The side effect is that lots of times they sound better. I think in a perfect world an artist would offer you

It is interesting to me when these X for Y comparisons land for various folks. I have to conclude it worked for Elph or at least didn't substantially hinder them since they picked up investors. I find it very surprising that Coinbase

I realize over time Netscape did quite a few things, but to me it is a company that made a web browser. They weren't a portal or an app store. Maybe if you accept that ethereum is somehow equivalent to the web...

After reading this, I feel the founders of Elph and myself have radically different ideas about what "Netscape" means.

The term 'useful arts' does not refer to creative works and is in fact an antonym for endeavors like performing or fine art. I believe any protections of this sort actually flow from the interpretation of 'authors' and

Does anyone know of a good tool for building custom PI distributions based on the Raspbian / Raspbian Lite or other distributions that does not involve forking the official image builder and hacking it up? My ideal tool would allow me

Anyone that wants an EV ultimately benefits from the credits. Take a look at the prices of used EV's (other than a Tesla).

In my area when the first wave of EV spots went in they tended to be very 'premium' spaces. I think this was a result of novelty. Recently they have been making them the 'worst' spots or at least not 'premium&#x27

I came here to make this comment as well. They had to know they were making an all electric vehicle when they named the Volt... I drive a Leaf and this makes me an un-elected ambassador for EV's in general. When I'm at a charger

I did policy debate for 4 years in high school and also judged for quite a few years after I graduated. At the time I would say there were a mix of what we would have just called 'speed debate' at the time and 'traditional&#

Just get the RFID card and keep it in the car. Way less hassle than the app for unlocking the charger.

Sorry for being pedantic here, but despite lack of video hardware I would argue it has a lot more in common with the PI than an Arduino. It runs Yocto Linux and you can pretty much use the full suite of Linux tools to program it.

One of my 'favorites' is the patent for (1986) Atari Gauntlet: "Multi-player, multi-character cooperative play video game with independent player entry and departure" It seems they could have caused quite a bit of carna

Instead of completely banning actual lines from other material, it might be interesting to allow D-Prime to quote or slightly modify a phrase if it met some high threshold of notability.

It is MUCH more stable to shoot looking in the viewfinder with the camera pressed against your face than holding it out in front of you at arms length. There are smaller SLR cameras now that are mirrorless and use a variety of means to pro

I would argue that aftermarket prices are artificially low for EV's because of the tax credits. There are quite a few dealers in my area that sell used Nissan Leafs as fast as they can get them in, they are really nice cars for the pri
