Typical sci-fi movie:
"Captain, our spaceship's hyperdrive computer is fried!"
"No worries, grab those circuit boards we salvaged from that alien wreck last week."
Meanwhile, on Earth:
"I'm sorry, sir, but your car's body control module is faulty."
"Can't we just use one from another car of the same brand?"
"It needs to be from the exact same model and manufacturing year."
"What about salvaging parts?"
"Impossible, I'm afraid. The manufacturer's DRM prevents any unauthorized modifications."

As a current member of the IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors completing my first term, I'm running for a 2nd term, and would appreciate your support. I want to continue to:

(1) Develop ties between the CS and international efforts around promoting research software and efforts of those who develop and maintain it.

(2) Work towards increasing open science, including open access, in the CS and the profession.

(3) Diversify our profession.

Voting is now open at https://eballot.app/ieee

Will I survive tonight and tomorrow?

@eevblog on X: Sadly a respected EEVblog forum member is in end of life care.
He has released his high accuracy book as a multi part PDF. You can check it out here:

EDIT: I collated the full book, it's excellent, check it out here:

hello kind sir/madam/friend,

thank you for reviewing my patch.

i notice that you have asked for a specific and simple change which improves consistency and readability. however, upon perusing the codebase, i noticed that there are similar places that don't have this change.

i am feeling rather lazy today, if i call you a clown, a fucking buffoon, will you let this one slide?

please explain to me in more words why i should make this simple change to my patch, lest i take my contributions elsewhere.

warmest regards,
bob

I'll be giving an invited talk later this month at KU Leuven on how Apple's behavior is playing into a set of emerging threats to private and open computing.

Will publish slides and notes! For now, here's the abstract:

if AI companies get access to all copyrighted works for free because "it isn't possible to train an AI without it", should we not give free access to all copyrighted works to children because it is not possible to train one without it?

ST's latest and greatest idea is to sell the same part in the same BGA package in two subtly different pinout variants. The two variants are only distinguished by the last letter of the part number, which is at the end of the flash size and temperature variant section that does not affect the pinout in any other part they make. The package letter of the part number is identical for both variants.
