Any idea what tolerances this thing is supposed to hold? As someone who started reading Hack A Day, then later became a machinist in a well equipped production shop, it kind of blows my mind how far off the hobbyist equipment is from produ

I'd argue that the race to the bottom which has happened in the mobile app marketplace has caused many people like myself to lose faith entirely. I've been conditioned to treat mobile developers with the same distain and mistrust

Hell, I'd take a solid foundation with no apps (aside from a media player, browser, SMS, and dialer) in a heartbeat. What makes the alternatives so problematic is the complete lack of support from OEMs. These OSes exist today, and I&#

Perhaps I've been ignoring much of it because I've always ruled out iOS due to the walled garden. On the other hand, most of these features are available on the Nexus (and other Android phones) as well. The only catch is it conv

Beyond their occasional public stands such as the San Bernardino case, I don't think Apple does enough to market how this is useful to the average end user. In fact, as a free software enthusiast who has never even considered getting

The new permissions model on Android is a big improvement over the former "take it or leave it" approach, but applications can still deny service if you don't give them what they want. I can't comment on iOS because I&#

Yes, that's what I was implying. Industry has been repeating the mantra of developer time being worth more than machine time for so long. Indeed, it's true, but far too many people forget that it's a trade off, and that mac

I completely agree with you dude. I don't mean to imply that these issues are irrelevant. What I'm getting at is these issues are so aggrivatingly clear cut from a personal liberties perspective that they should have been resolv

I've already seen OpenMCT integrated with Kerbal Space Program. It looks like a great platform for real-time sensor data visualization. I'd love to hook it into a drone and violate some FAA regulations :)

Call me crazy, but I feel like there has to be a full blown conspiracy between the two parties (not necessarily the individual candidates), to keep us fighting over petty social issues which have no bearing on the social order. We fight ove

This might not be a popular opinion on this site, but I'd actually rather see things go the opposite way entirely. The reason I install such few apps isn't because Google Play is inconvenient, it's because the vast majority

As a machinist who occasionally write programs in G-Code from scratch and adjusts them almost daily I can say even if it doesn't kill anyone, it might send 25 pounds of brass spinning at 750 RPM flying across the shop. People take wri

The OnePlus looks like an option, though I haven't ever used one myself. It's got an unlockable bootloader, so an AOSP variant or CyanogenMod should be reasonable simple to install.

This article did a good job of staying relatively neutral for such a controversial subject. It seems as though an oligopoly of multinational conglomerates will be the only choice for essential consumer products in a short 10/20 years.

It works, but you need to cherry-pick the hardware. I've seen GTA V running smoothly IN A VM with this configuration. The CPU must support VT-d, which my i7-4770k sadly doesn't. You also need a second GPU to use with the host op

I had this problem with my Optimum router. I actually got better performance by throwing it in the closet and using a $30 dollar piece of crap instead (which has since been replaced). Sadly, it seems that everything in the consumer networ

I've toyed with the idea of an open source P2P social network for a while now. You're idea isn't horrible, it's essential. We can keep trying to support start-ups which will compete with Facebook, but they will all eith
