When it comes to something you're buying, if it's a novel thing, the vendor wants to "chat" because there is no real market price so they are going to try to rob you. But if it's a commodity, the vendor wants to was

Buying from McMaster is like ordering mil spec part numbers. You don't really care who makes it or what vendor-specific p/n they give it, you just want the part built to spec for the cheapest price and soonest delivery date.

You obviously apply to the latter of my first paragraph. There are certainly applications where a device absolutely cannot be modified because then it defeats the purpose (i.e. security systems). What I'm talking about is something lik

Oh, now I see that it's just based on an accelerometer. Marketing it as "wireless" seems to suggest that it is monitoring the brake lights rather than "automatically" flashing based on motion.

I saw one of these last week and just assumed it was tied into the brake lights but it was always on.

They make laundry sanitizer you can add to the fabric softener cup, it's just unscented Lysol. There's a big difference between clean, sanitized, disinfected, and sterilized. If you're working with plain soap and detergents,

This is explicitly for IoT manufacturers that want to lock out people easily modifying a device (or bringing it back to life after it receives an "update of death") or the kinds of industrial customers that need to check a box for

The school has phones in every classroom as well as the admin offices. Before I had a cellphone and needed to let my parents know I was staying after school or going home with a friend, I just used a landline. Breaking down on the side of t

More like a rotoscoped bitmap animation than what we consider 3D motion capture now.

It's even harder to get away with pirating fonts now with web fonts. Either the service can detect you pulling a font for a domain that isn't paying for it or webcrawlers will find unpaid fonts.

The dynamo wouldn't necessarily need to provide full power. Say your commute is 1 hour. The dynamo can provide 3W and the light draws 5W. Your morning commute would provide 3Wh to the battery. You don't use the light so all power

You want your FEC at the lowest level possible in the OSI model so errors are detected early in the stack and you resend as few packets as possible.

It is somewhat possible but there's rumors that Intel intentionally nerfs the speed so as not to compete with their datacenter products. It could also just be some other resource limit in the hardware, you usually aren't saturatin

Any anyone actually requiring more than just a single GPU and maybe a sound card probably has some pretty specific compute needs that would require something other than a cheap pre built.

Right, I do understand that with some setup involved, there are ways to search against encrypted messages but simply being given a brand new chunk of encrypted data with no prior knowledge of the contents would be impossible for anyone to i

Very true, I do dislike the way that US plugs stick out. I've been buying these 1ft extension cables that have a flat plug that only sticks out maybe 0.5in at most, perfect for outlets that are right behind furniture or appliances.

I really don't recall anyone standing at the spot labeled customs on that first map. Although I do recall lots of k9 handlers walking around, presumably to catch anyone that didn't declare their food/drugs/cash.

I've got a rack of equipment that sometimes requires a special calibration where I need to lug over a signal generator. Of course the only ones we have available that go to the necessary frequency weigh like 50lbs. I've recently b

At Dulles, you pickup your bags after customs. If they want to search your bags, they will regardless.

Average IQ is probably the most bullshit metric to compare two countries. Literally anything else would be better.

We have slim plugs here in the US that fit nicely when you have furniture up right against the wall but still need to reach the plug. They have a flat back that definitely allows you to step on it.

Yes, the schuko seems to be a nice in-between of the compactness of the US plug and the mechanical robustness of the British plug and the bonus is that it can still take the Europlug. They definitely could have made it a bit smaller but it&

Why not just have notifications only for that filter? I get not checking emails, I get so many that anything important is just ignored along with all of the other crap but if you already have a good filter, just use that.

My big project at work uses pytk only because it was already included with the anaconda distribution. It works fine, it's not pretty but it's just an internal engineering tool.

For FPGA IDEs, a lot of the background is just tcl scripts so you can easily write your own build scripts. You could theoretically put them into your CI pipeline but I don't know if anyone actually does this.
