I've had my instance on the internet for years without issue. (Tailscale is great for me, but not feasible for family)

SBC is good for usbip endpoints for those vms. I use them to push devices around my home network.

It's not really hard at all, calculate the max power the leds will draw and get a psu that'll never exceed 90% of that. Your average usage will be waaay lower anyways since you don't usually show all white.

5v power supplies are easily available, Meanwell is a popular & reputable brand. The same psu can run your lights and microcontroller.

I'm also struggling with a macbook for work, but hold your mouse over the green circle in the top left for a few seconds and it'll pop up. (You don't get the nice snapping that windows does though)

Workstations/servers have forced air cooling that drives a significant amount of airflow over the ram sticks. Gaming PCs don't. I don't think you can make the assumption that heat spreaders / sinks on ram don't help in them.

Doubtful, if so they would have warned ATC.

That was beautiful. Pilot managed to drag the tail and slow down enough that it looks like the engines barely took a hit at all.

This is the only way I could come up with that would allow an end user to do a full factory reset, and end up back in a known good secure state afterwards.

Storing it in the firmware would mean every user has the same key. Storing it in eeprom means a factory reset will clear it. This allows me to ship hardware with the default key on a sticker on the side, and let's a non technical user reset it back to that if they need to.

It gives you a 256bit block to work with - https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/...

I use them in an esp32 to write a random password to each of my products, so when I sell them they can each have their own secure default wifi password while all using the same firmware.

Providing API specs is not open-sourcing them. Where's the source code?

I owned a couple XPS 13 laptops in a row and liked them a lot, until I got one with a touch bar. I returned it after a couple weeks and swapped over the to X1 Carbon.

The return back to physical buttons makes the XPS look pretty appealing again.

Hard to correlate this to any real world events when the X axis is in days since epoch, rather than a human intelligible format.

Probably more about how it handles data corruption and makes it not drop the nose for a few seconds when it sees it.

Just because you don't, doesn't mean nobody else does. Lots of people have a design itch to scratch.

Not sure where you got that he crossed the border. If they had a case he'd have been arrested, you're making some pretty shady assumptions here.
