I hope not. Around here, you just step outside and there will be a dozen swarming around you.

I use separate WiFi access points. A single access point built into a router doesn't cover a very large area if you want high speed on 5 or 6 GHz.

I prefer a rectangular metal box. It's even better if it can be mounted in a mini rack.

So what's the actual brightness? Peak brightness is meaningless since it doesn't tell you how viewable it will be in sunlight.

Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.

One thing these adapters are usually missing is a status pin to tell you if it successfully negotiated the requested voltage and current.

Either wait a while or access it from a different IP address. If you have both IPv4 and IPv6, try forcing it to use one or the other with the -4 and -6 options.

It's probably an mSATA SSD. They look like a mini PCIe card, but they are keyed differently and use SATA.

Reading the paper tape is the easy part. Now build a punch from scratch that can run at high speed.

For multi layer PCBs like motherboards, you want a PCB preheater in addition to a good soldering iron. The ground and power planes will take a lot of heat. If they are already warm, they will need less heat from the soldering iron.

At least the streaming sites seem to be taking the media companies attention away from the other methods of acquiring content.

They are disabling it because the license cost went up 4 cents? Just pass that cost onto the customer. Even if they mark that up several times, I would rather pay that than have my battery drained because I have to software decode a video.

There is still a lot of H.265 content out there. I have many terabytes of it that I don't want to transcode.

 

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
