The graphs on this look really close to how the ones in iStat Menus 6 look. I love the aesthetics of this app and how it shows all the graphs, but wonder if it has the ability to show things like temperatures and powers

At least a few years ago the UltraFine 5K monitor on display in the Apple Store connected to the 2018 Mac Mini exhibited some odd behaviour. Not sure if it was Thunderbolt but it was definitely USB-C, but I believe it was changing the displ

Not much buzz about the sound quality yet, but it looks like a solid attempt. Force cancelling passive radiators with what looks like back suspension too, but I wonder if it will have vertical axis vibration issues if they arent doing somet

I guess this is one of the reasons running the command manually actually requires the --no-preserve-root flag on some systems, anyway

When it comes to anything Bluetooth and speakers I tend to look at Oluv's Gadgets on YouTube first, since that guy actually posts frequency response measurements of a wide variety of speakers. Seems like there is a wide variety of prod

Might be unrelated, but when I visit this page in a private browsing session on iOS 14 and play the video I get a modal saying Facebook would like to use cookies and website data, and if you allow they can track me. If I don't allow, t

This works well for me if the price is known in the beginning, but it probably necessarily varies. Perhaps itdoesn't matter in fine dining contects tho.

Any chance of macOS support?

I would think that it would have to be a syntactically simple language. The human brain isn't super efficient at processing instructions in the traditional CPU sense, so it would perform better if it "compiled" into reusable

Now if only they would rewrite the web application too, or release that desktop app they were talking about last year. The web app is much, much slower than the phone app.

People DO do this. This is how things like iPhone Cake/AppCake work (and all the other "alternate" app stores). They register up a bunch of enterprise certs under some weird innocent sounding names, like "Global English

Modern Intel notebook processors like these are likely running close to 80W and 65 steady state - They've got up to 8 cores to do this. Measurements by Notebookcheck seem to suggest that the MacBook Pro is already doing fairly well com

This type of scenario shouldn't require "smart" home hardware - Traditionally situations like this were addressed by wired/wireless SCADA networks or BACnet or similar protocols. The only issue is that these things are t

Wouldn't it be trivial for the company to track where the SIM is being used to find out who's done this?

Slightly OT, but have you managed to actually find an acceptable quality USB power bank (PD/Type C or otherwise) that actually supports this "UPS mode" of operation? Most of the one I have tried cannot simultaneously output a

I wonder what the server/rack version of this will look like inside. I'm guessing fairly similar. It's interesting to see desktop machines move back to the BTX model of thermal design, with the CPU fan attached to the case at

Based on my past experiences I find that "x" amps of rated charging current often is more of a cap on the total input current. Samsung devices (this is a Note 5 btw) limit charge current when the screen is on, probably to reduce t

USB isolators (single port) can be bought cheaply on eBay but may be bandwidth limited. They use a small isolated DC-DC brick and a USB isolation chip, probably with internal isolation capacitors to get the signals across

I was under the impression the Nokia that did this failed because it ran Windows Phone and not Android.

Most Linuxes attempt to detect a HiDPI screen (hi resolution basically) nowadays but you cannot do fractional scaling as easily as you could on a Mac, especially on Wayland. You can only do 2x or 1x.

You may be able to go into the Picture settings and see if there are colour temperature settings, or calibration settings that you could reduce the Blue and Green channels on to taste. However, this will Night Shift the TV screen all the ti

I find that on products that are mostly digital removing LEDs and speakers shouldn't cause an issue. However, some analog electronics may be designed with the LED as a current path. If this is the case perhaps you can replace it with a

IIRC the Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro [4K] is exactly what you describe here. I remember seeing a picture of one somewhere with a Xilinx FPGA under the heatsink fan.

It looks like the processor is doing some form of DSP, so some smarts are required. It can also play from Spotify etc. and the binaries for that are probably bloated like most cloud services. With this said, had this been a lower end produc

I usually shoot in full manual with Live Exposure Preview and Live View (I use mirrorless so the viewfinder supports this as well). My camera (Sony A7) supports something called zebra, which hatches in areas that are overexposed. Generally

Blackmagic has 4K and 6K cameras now, which in my opinion is close enough to megapixel counts sufficient for stills. One of the main reasons I love the design of them (disclaimer I do not have one, opinion from web only) is 1) Touch screen

I personally feel that repair manuals and documentation are not the worst problems facing repair at this point. What I've noticed in consumer electronics over the past few years is increased part integration - pretty much every device
