Stopping the system fans to heat up the system to shift clock phase by a few femtoseconds is one of the less hinged ideas I’ve seen come out of CERN lol.

(AFAIU this was an experiment for a software retrofit to hardware otherwise incapable of such adjustments)

New episode is up! We talked to @mossmann about HackRF Pro, Cynthion, and more!

078 - Séance Mode - An Interview with Michael Ossmann

I made this case for my XTEInk X4 reader https://makerworld.com/en/models/2484325-book-style-case-for-the-xteink-x4 and blogged about it https://pointinthecloud.com/2026-05-06-150400-xteink-x4.html @neil and @concretedog I was inspired by your reviews to get the reader and I like it very much so thank you for blogging.
When you're small nobody tells you that you will inevitably get older and develop an interest in birds

learning all about de-emphasis has been really eye-opening

(sorry)

ah. that would explain the loud bang from my scope's PSU & the chunks of epoxy I found rattling around inside
It's getting rather depressing that lately any time someone posts about their cool new project all I can think is "neat, but is it AI slop?", and the answer is usually "yes". 😔

If you're a swiss resident ( or know one ... ) you can get a custom hardware design onto an ASIC for FREE !!!

You get back one chip with your design (and a bunch of others!) and some board to help bring up/testing.

Also, this is "resident", no need to be a student or at uni or anything, you just need a valid Swiss address ...

I know I might be repeating myself here because I mentioned it a few month back but this bear repeating IMHO.
