Yes, this has been done a few times in the past. It's unfortunate that "distrust after X date" and "distrust now" are the only penalties that currently exist but that's the reality of the current PKI world. Th

In hindsight, that almost certainly answers something kid me always wondered about. My grandparents' computer desk had the ceiling-mounted track lights on their switch box's "Aux 2" switch with nothing on "Aux 1&qu

Your chart is showing an average of 20 pings every five minutes, I'm talking about absolute results from a constant ping. Your data also shows multiple consecutive samples where at least one of those 20 pings were entirely lost. On a

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but if you're claiming you are seeing 1-2ms pings consistently over a 30 day period on a WiFi network you're either doing something wrong with your measurement or you have a very unusual network

Best case vs. worst case is important. Best case, yeah WiFi isn't substantially worse than wired, especially if all you care about is getting to the internet. Worst case, it's a fuckton worse. A wired network will never drop out

AFAIK low voltage wiring generally doesn't matter from a code perspective, but yea I would only see that as a temporary solution for renters and of course only use plenum-rated cable for it. I've only done that particular trick in

Not a bad reason, especially if you have saves on it. I'm sure there's a way to transfer them and make it work but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't perfectly straightforward so I can totally see not finding it worth

Why bother with an Everdrive on an Analogue Pocket? Mine has only seen a cartridge once, just because my partner happened to have an old GB game she wanted to see if her save had survived on, otherwise it runs entirely off SD.

I didn't say it was impossible, just that the flashlight comparison is not great because it's not only a much easier design to seal but it's also a lot more tolerant of leaks.

No, my post was literally about the fact that sealing a flashlight is not the same as sealing a modern smartphone. I didn't say it was impossible, or that people shouldn't try it, just that the flashlight comparison isn't rel

Yes, the USB Power Delivery 2.0 spec traded the 12 volt level for 9 and 15 volt levels, so not all PD 2.0 capable chargers support 12v output as there are very few devices that actually natively use PD 1.0 12v mode. Almost all devices requ
