Not sure about Microsoft solutions, but modern file systems like zfs and btrfs can do this on the filesystem level, no support from the mail server needed.

Am I the only one a bit worried about them using a fixed string as a salt? A salt is intended to make it hard to create a rainbow table. I don't know how much entropy is in their 'folderID' variable, but given that it's

No, it doesn't. I know with 100% certainty ESP WiFi hardware is developed in-house and not shared. I think BL602 uses CEVA IP, not sure about that, but it certainly is not shared with ESP chips.

Espressif dev here. I usually advise people to break out GPIO0 (or GPIO9 for the ESP32Cx series) because 1. if you somehow write firmware that reconfigures the USB pins, there's no way to get the USB connection going via which you can

Am I the only one who thinks the 'true fan' definition is a bit... icky? If I have a person who buys everything I offer, regardless of if it's a duplicate of something I already offered earlier, regardless of quality, that pe

Not Freak_NL, but in my experience the only people actually good at recognizing the Dutch accent are Dutch people themselves (unless the accent is really bad). So in practice, it's more of a quirk than something practically bad.

Was wondering how these people make money... looks like you can buy 'enterprise plans' where you can have them solve captchas en-masse... Not sure if I agree with whatever people want to make use of that.

Years and years of cat-and-mouse between people wanting to jump the Great Firewall and people maintaining the Great Firewall.

Espressif guy here. Please share proof we make stuff for the CCP specifically? Because I'm not sure I want to work for them if they influence any technical decisions.

Yes and yes, the SDK has esp_random() and esp_fill_random() which hook into the hardware RNG.

I helped design an USB-to-serial converter thing to directly go into the silicon of one of these chips you can program. It acts like an USB-to-serial converter on the USB side, but on the device side, it 'forgets' the to-serial an

Espressif employee, and I'm not sure what your point is... the absolute amount of Western people working for us in Shanghai has only gone up on average, and globally it has skyrocketed (relatively speaking) since we opened thriving off

Can you elaborate that? For each BGA ball, I need one trace width of trace, plus one spacing width to the next trace, right? There's a space on the other side as well, but that's already 'provided' by the trace above. Or

You're probably right if you do professional runs. This is the few-bucks mass-production who-cares-its-cheap-as-borscht-anyway process we're talking about; it usually comes with 50% e-testing and I actually have a panelized PCB wi

Note that for mass production, you can't put a 'standard' via directly under a BGA/WCSP ball, as the via will 'suck away' the BGA ball via capillary action. You'd need to ask the board house to plug the vi

FWIW, I'm more concerned with the fact that it's a Windows program (the closed-source-ness and seeming unavailability of the programming protocol makes it shady, imo) rather than it being Chinese. I'll modify the text a bit t

Lots of memcpy() implementations are still more efficient than a dumb byte-by-byte copy. They'll copy the (unaligned) head and the tail in bytes, but the bulk of the data using whatever data type and method is fastest.

Likely take it apart, recycle the metals and where possible plastics, dump the rest.

I agree that the 'o noez, raspberry pi!' is high here, but one of the things you can do on other devices is something like secure boot, where the OS image on disk is signed and the device will boot to a 'rescue' firmware

Espressif guy here: Actually, unless the crash is so bad that it triggers a RTC watchdog or manages to mess up with clocks somehow, the C3 USB thing will also stay active if your program crashes. Unlike the USB in e.g. the ESP32S2, this is

Hehe, comments like these make me finish and document my projects when half of me actually would rather throw it into a box and start something new instead. Thanks!

OpenSCAD. Textfile in, 3d model out, just like I like it. As an indication: this is what I had to type in to get the VT102 model: https://github.com/Spritetm/esppdp/blob/master/case/vt100.sc...

You have a good point... I always tended to write my stuff down chronologically, with the reveal at the end, but I'm not sure if in the age of 10-minute Youtube videos that still works well. I'll see if I can at least link the las
