Introducing RaspberryPi Imager, their new imaging utility
We’ve made a simpler way to image your microSD card with Raspbian, the official Raspberry Pi operating system, and other operating systems. Introducing our new imaging utility, Raspberry Pi Imager.
PWM – Pulse width modulation
PWM is widely used in electrotechnics for lights, chargers, motors, generating different signals, etc. which are all present in robots as well. In short, PWM is a way of expressing analog values in the digital world.
Fundamentals
You have probably wondered how, in the digital world, we can use some other value than supply voltage – which is output value from our microcontrollers like Arduino. The solution for this is PWM, which is essentially a microcontroller turning the output pin on and off very fast so that, for example, rather than seeing LED blinking, our eyes see an average brightness of LED being on and off.
Plex Slammed By Huge Copyright Coalition For Not Policing Pirates
Plex has become the latest neutral technology to get slammed for not doing enough to prevent movie and TV show piracy. According to pro-copyright lobby group CreativeFuture, which represents more than 560 companies and organizations, Plex – like Kodi – is a “dangerous digital media player” that has joined the ranks of “internet heavyweights who refuse to take responsibility for the criminal behavior on their platforms.”
In days gone by, living rooms around the world could be found stacked with video cassette tapes full of films and TV shows. Some bought, others recorded at home, these copies would need to be waded through, to find whatever content the owner fancied watching that day.

FreeNAS and TrueNAS are Unifying
FreeNAS and TrueNAS have been separate-but-related members of the #1 Open Source storage software family since 2012. FreeNAS is the free Open Source version with an expert community and has led the pursuit of innovations like Plugins and VMs. TrueNAS is the enterprise version for organizations of all sizes that need additional uptime and performance, as well as the enterprise-grade support necessary for critical data and applications.
From the beginning at iXsystems, we’ve developed, tested, documented, and released both as separate products, even though the vast majority of code is shared. This was a deliberate technical decision in the beginning but over time became less of a necessity and more of “just how we’ve always done it”. Furthermore, to change it was going to require a serious overhaul to how we build and package both products, among other things, so we continued to kick the can down the road. As we made systematic improvements to development and QA efficiency over the past few years, the redundant release process became almost impossible to ignore as our next major efficiency roadblock to overcome. So, we’ve finally rolled up our sleeves.
Building an eBay power filter kit (with schematic).
This is a very common kit on eBay intended for use with audio amplifiers to filter out mains borne noise. It looks as though it’s been copied from another design, but with the usual flaws introduced during the interpretation. Particularly with regard to separation, current carrying path, pad sizing for mechanical strength and a possible swap of MOVs for class Y filter caps.
