ARM makes their money by licensing the design to other huge companies, who then integrate the processor with other peripherals and manufacture it. They have no interest in extracting money from the end user, instead the documentation is rea

Are you annoyed that he's being negative, or because he didn't back it up with a reason? Because I've done development both for embedded arm microcontrollers and CUDA. ARM feels like a benevolent overlord that wants to help y

Thought I saw a Jalopnik article about Bentley or Rolls Royce inventing that exact thing, but I can't find it now. The idea being, if you're a billionaire, you don't want to do something low class like plugging in your car.

I'm sitting in an office chair, not an armchair, but I'm thinking the steel frame it was glued to flexed. The inside pressure theory doesn't make sense. Modern cars are well sealed, but you still have flaps at the back of the

It's a perfect example of the general shittiness of life. Just little things that, in of themselves, aren't bad, but they add up to make everything more difficult. Once an IC is designed, the datasheet doesn't substantially c

I've been loading the Youtube homepage every 15 minutes for the past week (I've been sick). It's the same videos over and over again. If I scrolled past it the first time, I'm still going to scroll past it the 100th time

Swap disk trick for the PlayStation 2: Find a game disk that was a demo (like from a magazine). It must have a main ELF, that would then launch another ELF from the disk. (For example, the main menu would be one ELF, and then each demo game

Flux, practice, flux, good tools, flux, good lighting, flux. Really, learning how to braze and weld steel helped me a lot. Heat control is extremely important. Heat flows, and you learn how to position your iron to get the heat where you ne

So what, you have oiling or cooling passages immediately behind the seal?

A picture is worth a thousand words. (Well, video in this case) I still don't understand how it seals better than a Wankel. I understand how it's turned inside out, and it's very clever, but it seems like it would have the

I guess I’m not articulating myself well, because I’m basically agreeing with you.

Hundreds of hours, perhaps. But not for the entire life of the engine. If a modern passenger car engine could put out 200 hp nonstop for years on end, every semi-truck manufacturer would be putting a BMW engine in it, instead of a huge cast

There's a difference between peak horsepower output and continuous horsepower output. A normal passenger car might be able to put out 300 hp, but only for a short period of time before blowing the headgasket (or destroying the drive tr

I'd say it's didn't necessarily fail, it was just a bad design. It consisted of steel posts in the ground, with stamped steel sections running horizontally. Grosjean's car got wedged in between two of the horizontal rail

Don't bother with technician class. It's pretty easy to get your general license. There are multiple websites that have flashcards for the exam questions. Amateur extra is actually a lot of work, but general class allows you to d

Have a mosfet between the 5 volt regulator and the device. At 20 milliohm, drawing .1 amp, that's only 2 millivolt drop. Or, since it's a low volume design, just throw a relay in there.

Create short deepfakes that can go viral and be so ridiculous that they're both entertaining and obviously fake. Obama advocating for a border wall. Al Gore lobbying for the oil industry. Steve Jobs advising against staring at a screen

The same. I can hear faint noises just fine, and hear background noise when listening to headphones. I think it's related to my poor verbal skills.
