Oh good, the perfect software for making DVDs of my aXXo XviD-encoded movies I got off of demonoid so I can watch them on my bedroom PS2. Wait, what year is it?

Sounds more like admins need to read over change logs better and properly test updates on dev environments before just blindly updating systems. Features get deprecated, APIs update, crypto algorithms get dropped, it's entirely on the

Wipers on the left stalk is entirely normal for cars that have column shifters since those are always on the right. There's plenty of new trucks using column shifters, mostly on those with bench front seats. I'd honestly prefer a

I was curious about why there was a solenoid in the keyboard since the only mechanical part should be the actual key switches. Apparently the purpose of it was to have an audible cue for when a key press was accepted. No solenoid click mean

They are sometimes called taps in the RF industry. It's for when you want have a monitor port for a signal without disrupting the original signal too much. You'll still lose a little bit of power on the original signal but this wi

I wouldn't say it's filled with preservatives. The ingredients list for the bun lists calcium propionate which is considered a safer preservative. The pickles have potassium sorbate which you can always ask not to include. The bat

My state only sells liquor at state-run stores. Imagine my surprise when I saw Fireball in airplane bottles at the grocery store. I probably would have bought some if I had been in the market for something awful without a second glance. Tur

I feel like automatic headlights should be mandatory. In my state, if your wipers are on, your lights should be on. Even during the day rain can make it difficult to see cars that don't have their headlights on and therefore don't

My 2017 Subaru is obnoxious. The Bluetooth audio has a 2-3 second delay, way more than any other Bluetooth device I've ever used. My head unit has the same bug that plays Sirius preview channel. It used to happen all the time but I thi

Newer iphones have some incredible thickness in their circuit boards. They will place components in wells on a board and then glue it to another so you end up with a double thick board.

I like how I can somewhat understand the MechEs at work when talking about vibration responses if I just imagine everything as a complex RC circuit.

8051 is the basis for many microcontrollers today. They aren't compatible since vendors add all kinds of custom instructions or modifications to the original design but some vendors do still make drop in replacements. You can also get

Many big government consulting companies will have a constant pool of employees that have nothing to work on for a few reasons: they have a job but are waiting on a clearance to start work, they were hired for/working on something that

Either you've never been on a plane before and are going to be nervous and likely listening to the safety briefing or you're an experienced flyer who's heard the speech many times and are going to do what you want. Air incide

I'll sometimes keep my belt loose when the seatbelt sign is off for an extended period. I know I won't leave my seat in case of really bad turbulence but worst case I might rise up a few inches. Obviously if the plane broke apart,

I really like croissants but haven't ever been to Paris. My last trip abroad was to Portugal and it was crazy how some sandwich shop at the train station had croissants that tasted better than any specialty bakeshop I've ever been

I've been to NYC once as a kid but I don't think we ever got pizza. I've had "NYC Style" elsewhere but it's always whatever. I had some business way out in Long Island and on the way back to JFK, I wanted to st

If you can't install anything, having a small MCU board that can mimic a USB keyboard could be good enough. You could load up a bunch of different keyboard macros based on number and duration of button presses. A more dedicated keypad

I've only flown in a little plane once. It was pretty windy that day and the feeling from getting pushed around was pretty strange and totally unlike the normal turbulence you feel on a regular jetliner. I'd compare it to being in

I feel like the US would just switch to more durable polymer bills than try the dollar coin thing again. I only ever get them in vending machines. They are much heavier than a bill so transport costs are higher and many people don't li

If any of his gear has CAT interfaces, a simple solution would be to use a PC with a CAT cable and the audio running to a soundcard. Flrig allows for remote control over the network and voice can be passed to the remote PC. He can do digita

The radios that this is meant to work with don't have a real CAT control interface. Some can do PTT through this interface but some don't, my Baofeng requires you to do VOX mode when using an APRS cable. CAT allows for way more co

One thing I've noticed is that people are less prone to personal discussions over a conference call compared to in person meetings. We only rarely do in person meetings now because of how quickly we can get through a meeting. One thing

There is always a new layer of abstraction available when it comes to building your own thing. You can still build a radio from a rusty razorblade but nowadays, building your own radio means buying a simple rtlsdr and setting up your own mo

Another weak point I've thought of, which probably applies to many alarm panels with zero knowledge of the correct pin, is what safeguards are there preventing someone from doing replay attacks on the pin entry? I would think a hardlin

Back in the day, kit radios were about as advanced as you could get with DIY electronics. You can still buy kit ham radios but the advancements that have been made in what is available for hackers is enormous. A full fleged computer the siz

We use a very similar system at work when placing files on removable media. Normally, any files you move from a work PC to a flashdrive are encrypted and cannot be decrypted unless the drive is put into another work PC running the same secu

My parents used to live in a cookie cutter suburb neighborhood with single family homes. The roads were all maintained by the county so they would be plowed for free but the sidewalks were all maintained by the HOA. Common areas were owned
