It may seem overly simplistic, but 2-port models for capacitors can be configured in series (as shown here) or in shunt (much more common for power distribution network applications). So, as basic as you might think this diagram is, it is e

Oh come to think of it, I had some attempted logins to some home-hosted infrastructure from Iran last week...

I came in here to recommend Lattice as well, at least for small glue-logic type applications. I've used their various MaxhXO lines extensively and really enjoy working with them.

Like many in this thread, I have a similar setup. I used to use I separate KVM, which did work but had a lot of cabling. Eventually, I decided on just a simple USB SPDT switch that I designed [0], a USB hub, and manual input switching on th

Even though I never cheated, I never wanted my programs to get erased... I just created an image of the "memory erased" screen and showed that to the teachers.

The subheading to this article seems a little extreme: "To fill the talent gap, CS majors could be taught to design hardware, and the EE curriculum could be adapted or even shortened." The article is more in the area of chip desig

I put together some of my thoughts on the latest generation of AI tools. Whether you love to use these tools, or actively avoid them, nearly everyone is most certainly intrigued by them. Personally, I'm super conflicted. I've seen

Cool idea! Here's mine https://shielddigitaldesign.com/ Mostly just stuff I try to share about hardware design.

It does sound a lot like the antagonist organization in The Space Trilogy novels...

Same here. I spent a good chunk of the evening just today messing around with Steam to see what I could get running on Linux. It's been a while since I tried in earnest, but I got all the games I wanted running (minus VR, but that felt

Wow, the web version is neat in its simplicity! Thank you for the work on Solvespace. It's far and away my favorite MCAD program and always my first go-to when I need to crank out a quick fixture to test PCBs. It's really so pleas

No, you're not. The fact that people think the TSA is a joke (as noted within the body of the article) is what stuck out to me. The headline is lame.

by stn8188 10mo ago
You make a great point, but (as noted in the article) some of us feel that the TSA is a joke for various reasons; one of which may be that the TSA did not actually accept forms of ID which their website states are acceptable :)

The argument in the headline is sorta silly - I agree - but the quote I put in my other comment is the real reason I submitted this article.

I was surprised too, but since I have one I figured I'd use it (before I got the Real ID). It's listed as "Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)" on https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening&

I think this was already discussed recently, but I find this quote in the article very interesting: "Passengers don't listen, a lot of them think the TSA is a joke. The fines are a way to enforce the rules for the REAL ID," t

As I looked at the chart my first thought was regarding how many women were working a few decades ago compared to now. It's nice to see that the comments below the chart pointed out the same thing. One of the saddest things about today

Thank you so much for sharing this! My kids all play instruments and I'm a bit jealous of their skill (I never played anything growing up). Over the last few weeks I've taken to borrowing my son's guitar at night and working

I had a similar pleasant experience with Skype. Back in 2009, I was deployed to the Persian Gulf. This was before ubiquitous cell phones (at least, I left my cell phone back in the US). Phone cards worked to call home, but my cheap solution

Skimming the map, I see many listed are in parking lots for Home Depot and Lowe's. I assume that's because of high dollar items and common theft issues? I'm wondering if those cameras are specifically operated by this Flock c

That was a neat video, I wasn't aware of the FX architecture in that detail. I loved my FX series... I had a 6300 that got me through engineering school, and now the same basic desktop serves as my kids' gaming computer (though I

In electrical engineering I'm still using a few alt codes daily, like 248 (degree sign), 234 (Omega), 230 (mu), and 241 (plus or minus). I'd love to add 0151 to the repertoire, but I don't want people to think I used AI to wr
