The problem with certificate revocation is that a lot of software treats it as a soft-fail if revocation status can't be verified, rather than a hard fail. That is one of the main reasons for LE's short lifespan. Certificate revo

Android devices most certainly can handle USB audio devices. I've used Logitech G930 and G933 USB headsets with a variety of phones and they all worked as expected. No idea if it handles surround sound properly though, but considering

Can anyone comment on how this compares to the popular Terasic DE10-Nano used for the MiSTer project? The price point is around the same and I see they note running video game cores as a market for this device, but I have absolutely no clu

I think there's a difference between using BSD to build an appliance and running BSD as a day-to-day system. pfSense is a wonderful firewall appliance. FreeNAS is a wonderful storage appliance. If you need pf or native ZFS, a BSD i

Yup. I love Teensies for building USB input devices. It's trivial to get something basic working and not much harder to tweak it if you want to appear differently to the system or use a higher refresh rate for lower latency gaming. T
