In the past, I had a small whiteboard on my door I could write my away messages on (lunch, meeting, vacation, etc) and people could leave short replies on it when they didn't want to send an email (call me, borrowed your charger. It wo

Finishes like stain or paint as well as adhesives in the manufacturing industry are often called out in mils or thousandths of an inch. We use something called a thin film test to ensure paint is the correct thickness so that really tight t

When doing woodworking, you typically want to let the wood get comfortable to the controlled temperature and humidity in the workshop for a couple days. This lets the wood warp and expand/contract to settle in a consistent shape and si

I built the Zeta V2 from Sergey although immediately after booting it up the first time, I had no clue what I was going to do with it. I thought about dropping in a ESP8266 into the ParPortProp board but still haven't gotten around to

I used to dread conference calls whenever most people were on their cellphones, me included. Quality was dog shit. If everyone was using a deskphone, quality was better but you could easily tell you were still on a phone call. Whatever syst

I learned about Latex in physics 2 in college and started taking my notes that way in class. I could quickly make quick notes for anything that would take me too long to input and then I'd go back and actually review my notes to fill i

A rolling average will always slightly lag if there is a significant change in the rate of infections. If you are experiencing exponential growth, the rolling average is significantly lagging behind. 1 case on day 0 2 on 1 4 on 2 8 on 3 16

Macau also had its own TLD (.mo) prior to the handover just like Hong Kong so I don't see why China would all of a sudden decide to prohibit the use of either (maybe when the 50 years are up!) There's no TLD for the other SARs but

I sometimes have the opportunity to work from home but wasn't doing very often since we had just moved and I hadn't bothered to setup my desk. I'd either sit on the couch or in bed typing on my laptop. Eventually we got our o

Spend no less than $20 on a USB to serial converter and you'd probably be fine. Anything with an FTDI chip in it are the best. Anything with a Prolific chip has a good possibility of being counterfeit will either not work well or the l

Unlike fiber and cable, starlink does not benefit having a bunch of customers located in one spot. Bandwidth is limited and adding more requires either newer satellites with higher bandwidth backbone or more overlap on satellite coverage. T

There are a bunch of video DJ suites out there that can do way more than what you need but they all cost about $300. There is an open source software called Snowmix that might do what you want. Interestingly, the project is run by an amateu

Even in ebay, I can offer something for a firm price, someone can offer to buy it at that firm price, and I can still cancel the sale for a variety of reasons. If someone offers a OBO price, I can counteroffer, and still cancel the sale aft

One thing I've really appreciated on flights is the addition of streaming videos to your own device. If it saves fuel and maintenance costs, I'm perfectly fine with them ripping all the personal TVs out of the plane as long as the

When I was in highschool, I was really into this and spent a lot of time building custom rainmeter skins. Total waste of time. I never look at my desktop since I'm usually more interested in some window that's open. I turn off my

Al Qaeda was hiding documents inside porn videos they were passing around. I'm guessing if you can find a video host that doesn't transcode the original file, you could publicly post these videos with special keywords for your com

Dying from CO2 inhalation is painful although CO inhalation is less so. Nitrogen inhalation is entirely pain free. Although I'm sure it's more expensive since CO and CO2 can easily be produced with common materials.

I feel like most of the reasonable outrage is on how the chickens were culled and the treatment of the workers. If pumping the barn full of CO2 is an option, why not use nitrogen instead? Painless death whereas CO2 causes pain. Giving thous

An interposer doesn't have to have any breakout pads or pins. It just needs to sit between a board and component. It can serve as a breakout for components that may or may not be compatible with the footprint on the board or may not br

I really like Roku. I've got as much tracking stuff turned off in the options as possible and I know there's a way to pi-hole telemetry and ads if you want. Although the ads I see are just single poster-style ads for various shows

Since the only way to watch most streaming services is through their dedicated player that can already overlay text and graphics, why not just take advantage of that? It would need to be something that can survive video transcoding. Somethi

I used to annoy my friends by sending emails to their sms email address (1234567890@vtext.com or whatever) using open email relays. You could spoof the sender name as whatever you wanted and most sms clients would just show that.

But that would track any kind of theft. Most cars do not have that kind of tracking built-in and I would guess that most new cars don't have it either. If you could get the car into a shipping container asap, it might be enough shieldi

Probably because they had some other expensive software that only worked with old IE versions. The cost of fixing the other software was probably more than what it cost to pay you to support yours.

You can mitigate tin whiskers with a conformal coat application. It's not going to be as good as lead solder but it is an acceptable method when you have no other option. Another possibility is that these are modified CM4 boards where
