I've been a Netflix customer for 20 years. I have two residences in separate states and occasionally someone else will stay at one and use my Netflix. If they ever flag my account for simultaneous streaming that will be the last straw.

Many repositories on Github were put there by people that do not own the copyright and never agreed to GitHub's Terms of Service. Linux, for example, does not require copyright assignment. The original contributor of a change owns the

The Chevy Volt could operate as a series or parallel hybrid. So it didn't really save any design or build complexity.

I was a C student in high school. I never took a math class beyond basic algebra. I started from Khan Academy's first exercise when I was 33 years old. It seems silly looking back that I was solving problems on the number line as an ad

Some standards come with test suites. For example, if you design a CPU from scratch under an ARM architecture license there’s a comprehensive set of tests provided by ARM that must pass.

Efuses are more common and they change the physical structure when written, much like blowing a fuse in your car. Laser blown fuses are also common.

Part of my job involves working with engineering sample SoCs on development and characterization boards. I've seen just about every kind of socket and connector you can imagine but I've never seen a BGA socket that is reliable eno

Amiga's were used for a lot of weird video things like touch-screen video kiosks. Genlock a serial controlled laser disc player to the Amiga and put it in a cabinet with a serial port touch screen. A PC could certainly replace it by 20

That's not entirely true. There's usually some level of fault recovery built in but it doesn't extend to the level of allowing any component to fail at any time.

Your numbers are completely wrong. The claim of 2.6 Tflops for the M1 was independently verified. https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=197759&curpost...

Your point is rooted in wrong facts. On-chip fabrics are much more efficient than separate computers over ethernet. More energy efficient and lower latency. Not only that. On-chip gives you high precision synchronous time (all cores observe

Many computer designs can be made by untrusted assemblers as long as the silicon fab, fusing, and packaging are trusted. Most Intel machines are not designed for it.

This is exactly why Nvidia wants to buy ARM. It’s straight out of the Jack Tramiel (of Commodore) playbook. Commodore bought MOS to guarantee supply of the 6502 then raised the price for all of their competitors. It’s one of the reasons why

Smaller code size makes your caches more effective. L1 instruction cache is size limited because it's on a critical timing path. Increasing its size limits your operating frequency.

Suspension maintenance is not out of the question for the home mechanic. You can align the suspension to an accuracy that's safe to drive for short distances at low (not highway) speed. All you need is a level, a tap measure, and a lit

The Volt also has a hand operated brake paddle behind the steering wheel to activate regenerative braking without engaging hydraulic braking. It's a very nice feature.

It is also interesting that another field went from visual diagrams to (almost) entirely text in the 1980s. RTL logic circuit design.

No. That's a decision for the team/user. I assumed the question was about legal approval.
