As someone who has read the PD spec and agrees with your assessment- I’m curious what that chip is?

> “feeds” People keep using this word when talking about what’s been happening with the internet recently- but they don’t realise how close it is to the actual answer. RSS has been around forever and it’s exactly what is needed. A feed r

Yep. I complained about that on HN recently- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35692884 though since then it has, at least started working again. I didn’t mention it in that post but that is _exactly_ the attack vector I

While we’re complaining about Google’s 2FA offering… The issue described here started happening to me recently: https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Apps-Account/Why-is-G... Summary- Google has added a “match th

I think this is one of the few things Prusa actually gets right- it takes serious gall to carbon copy something (there are plenty of cheap, mostly Chinese printers out there, but the vast majority are fairly different to the Mk3, not outrig

My _favourite_ part of searching on AliExpress is that, when you’re logged in, 90% of any search results have nothing to do with, you know, the search query, and are just (related to) products you’ve previously looked at. Why?!?

Brit here- I usually send money to friends and family using bank transfers with internet banking- it’s instant, there’s no fee (AFAIK) and all you need are someone’s account number, and sort code, which everyone has. Is this just not an op

Woof. Adafruit + Raspberry Pi in a shipped product screams to me that they did not have a real electronics guy on their team. https://ukdepartureboards.co.uk/ is the British equivalent of this, and it seems to do everythi

True, though I imagine the agreement you’re thinking of isn’t the one they’re talking about here. https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-30-adopters-agreeme... is the agreement- it’s royalty free, basically “sign her

Encrypted iCloud! Never thought I’d see the day- figured intelligence agencies wouldn’t be a big fan- I guess it’s only optional though. Still won’t be using iCloud on my iPhone, but I could at least consider it.

I do wish someone would put up the paid for magic documents that allegedly contain the actual reasoning behind the choice of the E-series. I think this SE answer coould be true, but it feels a little contrived- and, at least to me, this is

Seems like a huge design failure that the sense pins (which need to be connected for the card to turn on) mate before the power connections are fully mated. Opinion- these Mini-Fit / Micro-Fit style connectors have no place in PCs. I’v

I don’t understand why anyone would pay that much for YouTube premium- isn’t it just no ads, and background play? In what universe is that worth £16/$12 a month?? You could get two “real” streaming services for that if you pushed it a

I swear there’s something going on with those fake shipping emails- I only ever get them when I’m waiting for a parcel- and no, I haven’t been entering my tracking number into any websites. Very suspicious.

Man, I can’t understand what they’re thinking over at Autodesk. Right now I have the student license for Fusion 360- I was (still am to be frank) thinking about becoming a paying customer at some point- occasionally they do a $100 a year sa

The standard way to do it is just a square matrix, so yeah a lot of pins are required. There are cleverer ways though- I like this writeup https://kbd.news/Improved-square-matrix-1415.html

They should be illegal- the waste of RECHARGEABLE lithium cells in DISPOSABLE vapes is insane. At least in the UK, anywhere there are teenagers these things follow. I'll admit as an electronics hobbyist these can be a good source of fr

22 is far too young. I've been watching his videos since 2017- the picture in today's video of him in a hospital bed with his 10 million subscriber play button absolutely destroyed me. He used to joke all the time about hitting 10

This one has to be my favourite- I thought maybe whoever transcribed the source code listing for the AGC to GitHub took some artistic license- but no, it's there in the original scans! https://archive.org/details/C
