That seems a bit harsh. I have two rescue parrots that live in large cages (indoors). I let them out every night when I get home from work, and they're given plenty of toys and material (including native blooms) to interact with every

I did. There's long term patent cross-licensing agreements between the two companies. Motorola mobility may be a separate company now, but they didn't start from scratch.

Not sure how I feel about this. Motorola seems to be the exclusive provider of encrypted cellular networks and associated devices to the Israeli military [1][2]. I'm under the impression that basebands still require a proprietary/

Hi, sorry I missed your reply - Unfortunately it's a proprietary design, the vendor provides the firmware, I do all the schematic capture / PCB layout. Good luck though!

~$320USD each at ALLPCB with a MOQ of 5 for their standard 32-layer stackup, but that doesn't include the blind vias. Probably close to $400?

Critical information for those that aren't aware: MLCC capacitance decreases with applied DC voltage, like, a whole fucking lot. [1] Those 10uF/100V/X7R/1210 capacitors you love for your space constrained designs might o

It's not uncommon in Tartus, but far less common in Homs and Dimashq. Oddly enough it's usually Sunni husband and 'x' wife. For example we have Sunni/Shia, Sunni/Druz, Sunni/Christian and most recently Sun

Honestly, my Sunni relatives from Tartus, Homs and Dimashq are elated. My alawite and druz relatives from Tartus and Latakia are almost distraught. There is a massive disparity between the treatment of Alawites/Shiites/Druz and Su

Doesn't seem limited to GE Microwaves! My wife uses a cheap Kmart house-brand microwave for waxwork that does the exact same thing. I have another in the kitchen (Panasonic NNCD997) that has an interlock system which blows the primary

I often wonder the same about the technology used in a mysterious video that appeared on youtube about 15 years ago titled "Laser Induced Plasma Channel". It appears to be an area denial weapon that uses femtosecond lasers to guid
