It isn’t open source hardware. It is license-free IC architecture.
The hardware will still be closed source in 99% of cases, but the architecture is “open” and can be used without licensing, lowering the barrier to entry for making CPUs (it is still very high as volume is the name of the game at fans. Tapeouts for testing a design can be €1k on the very cheap end, often more like 10K+)
A step in the right direction for sure, but open source IC designs are still quite limited.
Like the other person said, it can still be very nice and useful!
However, modern (even cheap) DMMs have some quality of life or useful features like auto ranging, diode measurement, capacitor measurement, max/avg/min functions, duty cycle, etc… Like the standard low budget ANENG AN8008. And this one is certainly better quality than the cheap stuff.
Though the continuity sensor for that meter being able to select sensitivity levels is quite nice. Most multimeter’s simply use “banana plugs” so you can’t go wrong and can always use standard lab wires (that are readily available)…
Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.
If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.
CrowdSec could probably catch a moderate amount of them, but that is really geared towards bad actors and malicious probing bots.
Fial2ban also wouldn’t work at all here since they aren’t trying brute force attacks, they are just using high bandwidth stealing as much public data from everything possible.
I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.
Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.
I got suspenders (because the store was literally out of belts) for my work pants that use the worst claw clamp mechanism I have ever seen.
There is like a 5mm gap between the teeth so I have to fold my work pants belt line double and still if it experiences more than 0.1N of force, it will just fly off. I finally got a cheap 2nd hand belt.
Isn’t this the guy who has posted a bunch of purely vibe-“coded” spam and then deletes it if the backlash becomes too big? Like the “temple-runner game” posted last week?
We did exactly the opposite of what you say, we monitized the scams and turned to entire internet into an scam-ad infested wasteland of the greed of 10 people at the cost of driving the rest of humanity to mindless addictions, grooming, and manipulating human psyche to eek out more money and mass-propagandize.
The majority of the internet is 10x worse than it was 20 or 30 years ago and there are literally more bots than people, according to research.
They should be the default for solar installations and grid-level storage, but are too new.
They can also replace lead-acid batteries for many applications.
Lithium will still rule microelectronics and wearables, but all lower density stuff should switch to sodium.
That being said, for cold environments like Scandinavia and the US Midwest & canada, sodium ion works better in both cold and heat swings than Lithium variants that it might be worth the tradeoff in capacity because in the long cold months, the reduced capacity and performance of lithium chemistries would completely close the gap anyways.
