I'd definitely be interested in a project like that, but I think customizing a PCB layout and sending it off for manufacturing would be too much for many people that would otherwise be interested in it. I think a project like that woul

My friend has the opposite problem. The ISP's map claims to offer fiber service on his whole block, and if you type in your address they'll even offer service at that specific address. The problem is his block is at least 80% mult

I've actually bought/planned to buy a few things that I was introduced to via YouTube sponsorships, but it's never been any of the generic YouTube sponsor merchandise. It's always something highly relevant to the topic o

It's no longer functional, but in the past if you appended the parameter t=wadsworth to a YouTube URL it would skip the first 30% of a video.

There's a torrent going around the usual places that has every [as] bump from the launch of the network to whenever they last updated the archive (a few months ago in my case.)

Yeah, I hear people repeat that a lot, but it doesn't entirely align with my experience. A lot of the grocery stores I shop at (mostly Kroger and other national chains,) have a cooler right up front with the most popular dairy/ref

A bunch of stuff you will absolutely not care about. Unreleased music, rough cuts, behind the scenes footage, promo materials, etc. . . Nothing about the content itself that would be interesting to the average HN reader, but I think this is

Don't forget about birth defects. I went to school with a kid that was born without pinkies, but otherwise completely normal looking hands. You could still tell something was off when you looked at his hands, but it usually took a few

Look under the heatsink. You're probably going to find 6x 2GB chips in parallel. The individual chips have a power of 2 capacity.

Now that you bring it up, I can't recall ever (knowingly) using a piece of Korean software that wasn't a game or baked into a phone's firmware. Does seem kind of odd considering how much Korean hardware there is in my life.

My family had one about the same size as well, and it was setup in the basement. When my parents sold the house the contract stated that the TV in the basement would not be removed and it was the buyers problem now.

Same way as vanity onion domains: brute force. Anything else would be a security flaw. If you're asking how to actually get one yourself, just search for "bitcoin vanity address" on github. There are plenty of projects to cho

A modded iPod classic is hard to beat. Replace the HDD with a CF card (many of the SD and SATA adapter boards don't have support the drive's power saving features) and stick the biggest battery you can get in there. I've seen

A single 18650 can do much more than 30W. My Emisar D4v2 can pull ~17A from a single 18650 on turbo mode, and it's not much bigger than the battery itself. I carry it on my belt everyday. It starts to get a little uncomfortable to hold

My MK2 was off by about 3% when the pitch adjust was in the detent. To be fair, it had a rough life before it ended up in my hands. If you have a frequency counter they're pretty easy to calibrate the correct way though.

IIRC they used a variation of this a second time on a newer model of iPod. They found a way to trigger the click speaker, wrote a program to dump the ROM via the clicker Morse code style, and left it sitting next to a microphone in a foam l

It should be fine. They most likely pack it with dry ice and ship it overnight or two day depending on the weather.

At that point I think it'd be easier to emulate a DS on the iPad and stream the top screen to an external display.

You had an older model PSX with the parallel port and a Gameshark Pro or similar device. All these disc swap techniques work the same. The PSX only authenticated discs on boot or after the cover was closed, the latter being easily defeated

The best way to do this trick was with a Gameshark/Action Replay disc. After the Gameshark booted it would let the drive spin down until you told it to launch the game. You still had to jam the switch since the PSX reauthenticated the
