After learning Apple killed off FireWire (IEEE 1394) support in macOS 26 Tahoe, I started looking at alternatives for old FireWire equipment like hard drives, DV cameras, and A/V gear. I own an old Canon GL1 camera, with a 'DV' port. I could plug that into an old Mac (like the dual G4 MDD above) with FireWire—or even…
Teardown and analysis of electronics. Integrated circuit design analysis.
On this site you can read about thousands of processors models. And every year it is more and more difficult to write about some new (old) processors, since everything has been known for a long time. But there are also exceptions to the rule which we love to find. In 2021, I learned about one unusual processor, the…

Project Description Rowhammer haunted us for the better part of the past decade. Most DDR3 modules were found to be susceptible to this vulnerability which can compromise data directly inside the memory cells. What made it so scary was the fact that it could be exploited from software on PCs, clouds, smartphones, over…

With Google Kubernetes Engine’s (GKE) support for the new Tau VM T2A, you can run your containerized workloads on the Arm architecture.
Given how important chips are to modern society EVERYONE should understand and appreciate how they are made. Every field has its own set of terms, jargon, and acronyms (engineers love acronyms!). As you would expect, chip design is no different. If you are new to chip design, it might take you a few days to read…

The above shows my home-built digital clock. It uses Nixie-tubes for readout. In contrast to most other nixie-clocks being built these days, my clock does not use any transistor or IC for driving the tubes. Instead, the driving logic is built from neon lamps , together with resistors, capacitors and silicon diodes.

Rochester researchers have created a metallic structure so water repellent, it refuses to sink—no matter how often it is forced into water.
A common myth about USB keyboards is that they can only support 6-key rollover, and not report more than 6 keys being pressed at a time. In fact, this is wholly untrue; the USB HID device class can support full N-key rollover (NKRO). While keyboards which purport to support USB NKRO are now common, some of them have…
