This iron has more power than the Pinecil so it gets hotter faster and will heat up big chunks of metal faster (like ground planes or connector shells). Honestly, I've never been that interested in the Pinecil. It's nice that it&#

Looks like it only takes their proprietary tip design (never seen one using a 3.5mm jack) but they don't have any others for sale yet. There are at least a few different tip designs out there already that don't require tools to re

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) is a lucrative business and it's not hard or that expensive to setup equipment that can monitor the spectrum 24/7.

None of the above, it's not really like the Chinese or Russians are any smarter than Americans. No one is going to invent some magical eavesdrop machine that operates on some principle that hasn't at least been thought about by th

The US government likes funding encrypted communication channels because it helps destabilize the kinds of dictators that eavesdrop on dissidents.

Even the most basic Symmetricom (microchip now?) and ptf units have all the options you need to survive an outage and configure the thing anyway you want. I've got a busted Symmetricom that won't see anything in the sky but still

A nice Symmetricom or ptf unit is going to offer much better time accuracy and holdover accuracy than those cheap units from China. The really cheap ones have no OCXO so time will drift fast during GPS outage. You get even better holdover a

Here's some good news: your license for Windows 11 is probably good for Windows 10 as well. Grab a Windows 10 install media from Microsoft and do a clean install on the drive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softwa

The cost of buying an off the shelf GPS module to replace the original is so high that any price difference in microcontrollers or even an SoC is negligible. You could drop an entire raspberry pi in there and still be saving money.

We had a professor require us to use git as a timestamped log of our progress. Of course you could fake it but stealing work and basically redoing it piece by piece with fake timestamps is a lot of work for cheaters.

There's a lot of practical reasons why someone wouldn't want one. There are foreign travel and contact reporting requirements and use of weed is forbidden. Some people may be uncomfortable with the level of scrutiny that investiga

Shooting 5.56 is very easy and placing the rifle at the front allows the back legs to withstand any recoil. A fast processor would allow the gun to fire even before the gun gimbal has come to a stop which would make follow up shots happen v

And then we end up in the same situation where there's some new thing that should probably be regulated at the federal level but can't be since it's not explicitly listed in the constitution. Imagine one day we invent portabl

No one is going to bother with your side project if the first chance they attempt to use it, they simply can't. They'll say to themselves "oh well, I guess it's still a work in progress" and move on and forget about

I used a Chromecast for years until we slowly replaced all of the TVs with ones that have Roku built in. Having a remote is definitely better than needing to pickup your phone, switch over to the streaming app, wait for it to link up with t

It's like a fruit juice saying "no added sugar". They don't add any sugar to the juice but it's definitely not sugar-free. Same with old coke, they never added cocaine but it wasn't cocaine-free.

The GPIO port is accessible under the back cover so I could easily see add-on modules that could piggyback on. Design a small backpack to use the existing latch, add some tiny pogo pins and the module could be easily swapped out. A lorawan
