Impossible as there are so many chemistries, but hopefully we don't run out of water for pumped hydro.
The big advantage of the ESP32 discovery is it's availability, while this device is a unique configuration that isn't available in most places. Sipeed teased a similar hack using some (undisclosed) USB-wifi chip, though…
Too bad the coreboard is OOS everywhere, I was interested in S31 before this just for GigE. That, and possible Linux support.
They could release new binary blobs to block this. Useless at this point but could amount to trying their best. Closed binaries aren't much of a deterrent these days, we might see more such "discoveries" for a lot of…
Shhhh. Just some AI hallucinations, nothing to see here.
Legal for end-user, sure. But Espressif might run into trouble with regulators like FCC.
So many $1 wireless ICs have a powerful "SDR", but will never be documented due to certification/compiliance/export-control reasons. The projects listed here rightly limited the scope to RX-only but Espressif might be…
It's breaking EXISTING free trade deals that's angering people. And also using them as geopolitical cudgels against allies. Every country has protectionist measures in various sectors, trade deals are decades-long work…
Political pressure works? The immediate pain from tariffs is quite different from the long-term loss.
I don't know about all that, but I use Marsaglias for generating noise samples in MCUs like Pico. It's the fastest option there is for such devices.
Being a tyrant has little to do with term limits or office duration.
Oh wow, the AD936x series was impressive for its I/Q calibration. Still is I guess, because there's been no compelling alternative even a decade later. As I mostly deal with single channel applications, I get to use…
Yeah, jitter doesn't matter too much at low frequency IF. I/Q calibration is more likely to be the bottleneck. That and close-in spurs from the fractional PLLs. I have very little experience with MIMO / phased-arrays,…
The really intriguing part is the "Custom ADC" here, seems like some kind of 1-bit ΣΔ oversampling ADC (704 MSPS?). Single differential transistor, and captured by FPGAs LVDS RX. Neat way to reduce cost and pin-count?…
Only if the difference in signal power is high (>40 dB). It’s like saying collisions aren’t a problem in situations where no collision actually occurs.
Wish the proponents of stricter immigration would push for a proper national ID first. Right now you have all the cons anyway, with none of the pros. A stitched-up database that has no laws attached to prevent its…
For the established players, it's the battery supply chain that's the main issue. Rest can be locally-sourced or manufactured. Makes them very nervous, having to import when tariffs and rules change everyday. My city in…
The explanation is that the trusted brands (in 2Ws) are just now rolling-out EVs, the market is very conservative and home charging likely isn't an option if one's renting. The cheaper variants now have enough range to…
It's the opposite IME, most petrol two-wheelers are massive money sinks past 5 years of ownership. You will likely spend close to original price in maintenance and repairs, with most models developing "unfixable" issues…
Leasing land for solar pays very little. The only reason people do it is because the land has no better use and solar doesn’t permanently damage it the way mining or farming could. Other industries aren’t being priced…
Talking more about some unrelated function taking down the whole system, not advocating for "offline" credit card transactions (is this even a thing these days?). Ex: If the transaction needs to be logged somewhere, it…
Those are examples where they shouldn't be using public cloud in the first place. Should build those services to be local-first. Using a different, smaller cloud provider doesn't improve reliability (likely makes it…
It's "legal" at first glance but it's effectively banned in most cases. No monetary compensation, only direct relatives, only traditional pregnancy, etc. It's outright banned (commercial) in most of EU. In most…
Being gay isn't the choice here, choosing not to act on your attraction/desires is. Might feel nitpicky but a very important distinction.
Having kids is half the reason (or more) for such marriages, nothing completes the nuclear family picture quite like it. And not like it's easy for gay couples in accepting environments to have kids either, surrogacy is…
