I never bought the network adapter for my PS2, so they won’t be adding any age verification to it.

The AI RAM is HBM. It’s useless for a PC unless someone releases a desktop graphics card that uses it.

For a NAS, you can use Backblaze B2, but they certainly aren’t the cheapest. B2 doesn’t have the limitations that the personal and business plans have, but you pay by the TB.

There are lots of cloud backup providers. Just make sure it supports the OS on your NAS. Any of them that claim to be unlimited will not truly be unlimited.

The software only allows local drives to be backed up, but some people use workarounds to make it backup a large NAS or server.

That’s not surprising with all of the data hoarders abusing the unlimited backups to store hundreds of terabytes.

I would be happy to have any fiber at all. The only options here are satellite and DSL. The DSL is basically unusable and only available to existing customers. I’m pretty sure the ISP wants to make everyone cancel so they don’t have to maintain the copper lines anymore.

There’s definitely a way to play offline. 🏴‍☠️

I use a mini PC with a wireless keyboard and mouse. There are also remote controls for media PCs if you don’t want to use a keyboard and mouse.

Hurricane Electric provides free IPv6 tunnels. They will give you a /48 if you request it. I used them for several years before I got native IPv6. It does require a public IPv4 address, so it won’t work with CGNAT.

Now you can just buy a CH341 dongle and clip it onto the BIOS flash chip if you need to unbrick the motherboard. It’s easy as long as the motherboard uses an SOIC or DIP flash chip.

265°C is reasonable for a fast CoreXY printer.

A 56k modem is way faster than Meshtastic. It’s more like a 1200 baud modem and everyone in the neighborhood shares the bandwidth.

Does it remove every trace of shorts like the browser addons do?

Not for what I need. Some of them have an electron program, but that’s just chrome bundled with a web app.

It’s about time. I hate having to use another browser so I can use a few web apps that need to connect to serial devices.

Making a gun is already illegal in California and Washington. This stupid law won’t make any difference. If someone is willing to break the law to make a gun, they probably are not going to follow this law either. 3D printed guns are rarely used to commit crimes anyways. It takes a lot of time and effort to get one to work well.

This is probably about companies like Bamboo Labs wanting an excuse to lock down printers even more. It will also make it difficult or impossible for smaller companies to sell 3D printers in California to get rid of competition.

You can always just remove microslop from your computer instead.

With a 24MHz sample rate, there will be 30 samples per bit. The narrowest a pulse for the WS2812 can be is 220 ns, which will be about 5 samples. That’s more than enough to decode it.

The WS2812 only runs at 800kbps. That’s well within the capabilities of one of those 24 MHz FX2 based USB logic analyzers that you can get for less than $10. Sigrok has a protocol decoder for the WS2812 LEDs.

They will be very expensive and they don’t even supply enough power to run a digital watch.
