    Intel® Xeon® Processor X7550 Hi-Res MACRO of CPU

    I have wanted chips done like this for a loooong time now. I'd love something large enough to make into a nice set of cuff links.

    iPhone Battery Replacement Times Are Up to Two Months

    Took my 6 Plus into the local store that is licensed to service Apple stuff. I had never had service done before. I setup the appointment online and confirmed over the phone with the local store what I needed to do. I took the phone in and the nice lady informed me that the batteries for the 6...

    3D Print a Reservoir

    I've been able to print 1/4-20 threads quite well with my .4mm nozzle. They are stupid easy to model in Fusion360. I do agree that a test print would be a good idea and let it sit for a month. I suspect that 2-layer wall thickness would be sufficient but I would go with 3 to be on the safe side...

    What printers do you all use?

    I have an Anet A8 (Prusa i3 clone). Lots of printed parts to make it better as well as an E3D V6 hot end. Considering I've invested less than $300 into it, I'm pretty happy. I should also note I ditched the stock controller board for a RAMPS board using Marlin firmware.

    Microsoft Finally Confirms Game Stuttering Problems in Windows 10 Creators Update

    Now if only they would fix their other issues with hardware communication as well. Installed a "windows certified" LAN driver and it caused AUDIO stuttering. WTF? Serious cluster in this iteration. Sadly, my work is deploying W10 fairly soon and I just hope those IT guys are ready.

    Ugh, Windows 10 audio stuttering... From a Bluray drive?

    Ok, so I had an old Bluray drive that I wanted to put in our bedroom PC to watch movies and such. i3 system with GTX950. Worked fine. Swap out the DVD drive for the Pioneer BDC202 Bluray drive and I get the dreaded audio stutter. Used the recommended gigabyte Realtek driver, driver from Realtek...

    GoPro To Cut About 15% Of Workforce

    Well, lets to the maths... 2500 drones sold at about $1K a pop (optional extras) 2500 8 1000 = $2.5 MILLION That is not chump change by any means. And when competing against the DJI Mavic at a higher price point they could have made some serious cash. The strong advantage would be that a lot...

    GoPro To Cut About 15% Of Workforce

    Well, the complete recall of the Karma drone has to have influenced this a bit. With Chinese knockoffs now easily availbe for less than half the cost they need to step up their game.

    Hackers Are Able To Seize Control Of Consumer Drones

    Each protocol uses different frequency hopping technology that utilizes different algorithms. Some radios can sense a congested 2.4Ghz area and will automatically narrow their frequency in which they operate to avoid interference. I was part of a world record attempt this past summer where 300...

    WTB: iPod Touch 5th gen

    Looking for an iPod Touch 5th gen for my daughter for Christmas. I'd trust one from one of you shady characters before I trust eBay or a local pawnshop. :) Looking to spend around $100. Most that I've seen have been priced around $80 for the 16GB and more for 32 but some have not been in great...

    Hackers Are Able To Seize Control Of Consumer Drones

    One protocol... DSMX (by JR/Spektrum). There are many other protocols. DJI has their own, not to mention Futaba, FRSky, HK, Sanyo, Hitec, Airtronics, Graupner and many more. "Most commercial drones" is relative and I would say that DSMX does not have that kind of market share.

    Neighbor Shoots Down Drone Near Robert Duvall’s Property

    Technically, the term "drone" has been synonymous with military UAVs until only recently. The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) was established in 1936... BEFORE WWII. Until the recent tech got to where multicopters were even possible you had drones referred to as model airplanes and model...

    Neighbor Shoots Down Drone Near Robert Duvall’s Property

    Uhm, technically they BOTH broke the law. The pilot should have acquired permission to fly over private property and yes, according to federal law, that "plastic" drone is considered an aircraft in the national airspace no matter what the altitude. This recent ruling I'm sure will be considered...

    Star Wars Chase Scene Using Drones

    Its actually much more affordable than you think. These racing quads use really high-end motors and batteries. The flight controllers are pretty much all the same but the Rotor Riot guys tweak the settings. The basic frame is about $60. With all your electronics, including a basic transmitter...

    Two Students Invent Gloves That Translate Sign Language Into Speech

    Poor attempts at proper language have existed since speech itself emerged. So many idiots now say "I's" instead of mine. Many other examples but being able to communicate is a benefit in any place.

    YouTube Subscription Model And Rise Of The Online Paywall
