One of my codes has been ported to GCC and whilst it is well behaved and fully optimised in tests on other people's Linux systems I have a minor problem when compiling it x64 on my own Windows 11 box under MinGW. It all compiles fine and code generation for my own code is properly optimised AVX2 or SSE, but the calls to numerical system library functions are all using legacy x87 instr...

Hello, I am looking for an electric schematic of a telephonic Tone and Probe. Professional instrumet are like this: https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/network-cable-testers/copper/pro3000f60-kit I don't have the pretension nor the ambition to make a similar project.

A roughly 16 minute video on the added load of using EVs instead of fossil fueled vehicles in the U.S. One comment is the load at home would be about like running a vacuum cleaner 24 hours per day. The guy is talking about a 30% higher load if all cars are EVs. He didn't mention trucks.

I recently changed the overhead fluorescent lamps for LED replacements. Very soon, I noticed they were flickering a lot more the the old fluorescents. They flicker on the slightest line disturbance, from someone turning on a microwave to who knows what outside the building. It turns out the bandwidth of LEDs is much higher than gas lamps. Good to know if you're in the spying busine...
