If you don't mind destroying the phone, you could just rip the storage chips off and grind em to dust in a coffee grinder or such.

Very fast. This is my older TB3 reader with a 1700MB/s card (not entirely sure what's up with my write speed though - it should be quite a bit faster):

Better aerodynamic performance and lower noise, more or less. by using the fan ring, what they're actually doing is moving the "wind tunnel" to fully intersect the edge of the fan blades (the holy grail would be a completely static wall that's touching the blades, and this is the next best), at...

As Leshy pointed out, increased speed always results in more aerodynamic performance. How much improvement is a different question, but still improvement. Them outlining their test setup and method means that anyone can go out and replicate their test and see if and/or by how much they are...

It manages it by raising the max rpm from 1800rpm of the regular P12 to 3300rpm, which has apparently necessitated a new blade design along the way. This is all listed on the spec pages. Arctic have also detailed the setup they used to do their comparative testing on their product page.

To be fair, @Grog6 had you beat already. I just decided to take over the crown :P

Oldest part I have still in active use is my IBM Model F 122-key keyboard, at over 35 years old (it's older than me!), but I didn't get it until 2013. The oldest part I bought new that sees use on my main machine would be my Ducky DK9008G2 that I got in 2011, but it only sees irregular use (for...

Takes time to develop. Also, MXI is Z390, and the MXI Extreme version was just released last week

And that's why we like open-source software and tools like fuzzers and so on: it lets us find and fix those vulns faster and easier. Usually, anyways... Overall the NSA, CIA and friends' intrusion teams (seem to) work independently from the defensive teams and the more conscientious parts of...

Why deliberately engineer a backdoor in when it's easier to just find one in there from careless devs? People exploit vulns perfectly well enough without needing to spend lots of time and effort crafting malicious code that need to go through code review, fuzzing and a whole host of...

Because the people clamoring for monoblocks have Asus boards, not Gigabyte boards.

It's already open-source (GPLv3-licensed too) and there's at least one guy with relatively sizeable contributions: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/ (don't mind the repo name, this is the proper uBlock Origin repo and completely unaffiliated with uBlock)

Preaching to the choir, mate. Tell that to upper management instead. Edit: this is also why I like fans, even small ones. The difference between fanned and passive is huge past about 7W

The real problem is that one device is doing too much for it's ideal thermal profile. Proper dedicated APs using the exact same guts as these consumer APs never overheat even with tiny 6mm thick heatsinks, cause they're running really low CPU loads.

Some are very quiet. For example, the 13k rpm 40x28 PSU fans in my server's PSU gets PWMd down to inaudible levels under the usual idling. So is the big 120mm San Ace in my old AX850 PSU. That's just really crappy engineering :(. Hopefully Netgear has paid attention and doesn't screw it up...
