Used cars are going to get much more valuable with all the enshitified crap they keep putting in new cars.

The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴‍☠️

It's impossible to get gigabit speeds on ULF. The datasheet says it uses 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz.

That sounds like a good way to get rid of most of the users too.

I'm surprised they didn't put a time limit on the storage since they are not a file hosting platform.

They are probably failing to get enough users, so they will attempt to squeeze as much money from their existing users as they can before they go under.

I occasionally find 3.5" floppy disks at the local thrift stores. There are usually new old stock disks on ebay too.

The USB floppy drives usually only support IBM formatted disks and are useless for data recovery. For any other formats, a Greaseweazle will come in very handy.

There is potting compound with high thermal conductivity for things that produce a lot of heat. A YubiKey hardly uses any power, so heat should not be an issue.

The main downsides of potting are that it makes repair practically impossible and it can add a lot of weight if there is a large volume to be filled.

Encasing the circuit board in epoxy. It makes it very difficult to access components without destroying it. It's also great for water proofing and increasing the mechanical robustness.

For the price they charge, they should be made so that opening the case will destroy the contents. They could have at least potted them.

Recent versions of Android make it much more difficult for a background app to access the microphone. There will be a notification if any background app is using the mic or camera.

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
