I think smaller ones might be useful for network quality testing and mapping. I think carriers drive around with boxes in vehicles to test their own networks reliability and map their competitors.

Octoprint is still a great piece of software that works with most printers, but it's running into a dead end where streaming G Code over the USB Serial emulation isn't fast enough on the newest generation of printers to keep them

Weirdly I had the exact opposite experience. Elgato always felt laggy. I bought a no-name USB Stick format card and it looked great (once I got my camera settings dialed in) but would disconnect when I bumped my desk. I cracked the case

I can say that in San Antonio where I live and also operate a ADSB receiver the dedicated air force flight trainers (T38 Talons and T6 Texans) routinely fly with ADSB on. The C5 cargo plans also fly with ADSB on when doing training but I&#x

Sadly Bluetooth support on Node is a mess and has been so forever. Noble is the only BLE library, and the original creator abandoned it years ago. The community forked it and has been maintaining it since then, but it's still got a l

That's all well and good for software developed in house by a full time development team that gets deployed to a single known environment, but that's only one way that the JDK gets used. If you provide software to customers to de

This has been my hell trying to navigate for the past year. As a general rule, anyone who can't commit to updating and testing their software to run on the latest JDK ever 6 months should avoid the Oracle OpenJDK binaries like the pla

For all intents and purposes that hash becomes the users password at that point. Also you can't really salt that hash in a meaningful way.

I probably should try it. I've been writing my own partly as an excuse to learn React. I've already got a Pi with a touchscreen and a 3d printed enclosure setup to run whatever solution I actually end up using.

Another pain point with making is that it's really hard to get it integrated with stuff you have bought. I built my own garage door automation with a Particle Photon board. It works great and can do things like text me if I leave the

Well, I'm glad it's not just me. I had my top case replaced a month ago after my 'w' key started sticking down off and on. I could swear I felt one of the keys on my new case stick once, but it hasn't happend agai

I did an independent study back in college to make maps like these. At the time there was a CD-ROM floating around with a database containing all of this data. It must have been an amazing amount of work to compile that database from the

The US moved to electronic voting in part due to the Florida vote counting fiascos in 2000. Electronic voting machines prevent users from making undervotes and overvotes (picking no candidates, picking more than one candidate). The machin

I agree. I think that the pricing is fair for when you have paying customers on the system (at least for my business model), but the 7 day trial isn't really enough time to do a proof of concept to see if Keygen would work for me. I

Telnet is a great way to realize that HTTP is just some simple text commands and not some mysterious binary protocol. WireShark also provides a good visualization of the HTTPS negotiation process and the various layers of HTTPS requests and

Can you really protect the device software if the hardware encryption element is separate from the microcontroller? Wouldn't it be trivial to sniff the decrypted cypher text of the software with a logic analyzer on the pin between the

From a practical standpoint, isn't this likely to trip Facebook and Twitter's protections against account theft? If you suddenly log in on a new machine in another country, and that same machine has just logged into a bunch of ot

I have no clue if anyone really uses it, and it has a terribly un-googleable name, but the Java Spark Framework is the most beautifully simplistic REST API I have ever played with. It's the only time Java has ever felt like Node to me

I took a bunch of urban studies and GIS classes in college for the hell of it, and might have done it as a major had they not just started offering it my Jr year. I think I would enjoy urban planning or map making. On the more creative sid

Can't speak for the OP, but in my case, I had it happen twice between beta 1 and beta 3 when I tried to skip beta 2 because I didn't care that much. It was also an iPad that left upstairs and was too lazy to carry it downstairs t

Once an iOS build expires, you can't take a backup, so you can do that to get the phone working again, but you lose any un-backed up data on the device like photos and app data. In the days before iCloud it was a huge pain.
