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.

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.

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?

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.

It keeps someone from booting code that hasn’t been signed with my key. That’s the whole point of secure boot. If someone else has the key, then it’s not secure anymore.

Secureboot is worthless if the Microsoft keys are still enabled. It should only allow code that you sign yourself to boot.

AMD should remove the HDMI port from all of their GPUs as a nice F.U. to the HDMI forum. They shouldn’t be paying the licensing fees if they are not allowed to make full use of the hardware.

If you don’t want to wait for it to rip, you can play it in VLC. It will let you skip anything you want to.
