But then again, I have so far only tested it in my kitchen against a delicious AeroPress cup and not in the wild after carrying its 5 ounces for 15 miles up and down hills. I do not want to reveal too many of

Reverse Engineering the Microchip CLB

Microchip added a very cool peripheral called the Configurable Logic Block (CLB) to there new PIC16F13145 microcontroller family.

Ars reflects on Apollo 13 turning 30

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Oscar-winning film, Apollo 13, director Ron Howard's masterful love letter to NASA's Apollo program in general and the eponymous space mission in particular. So we're taking the opportunity to revisit this riveting homage to American science, ingenuity, and daring. (Spoilers below.)

13-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop review: A slightly worse version of a year-old PC

Microsoft's new 13-inch Surface Laptop is an odd one. It's inarguably a step down in every respect from last year's 13.8-inch Surface Laptop. But it's also too good (and too expensive) to be considered a replacement for the Surface Laptop Go, the company's perennially overpriced and underspecced entry-level laptop. It's cheaper than last year's Surfaces, but mostly because Microsoft gave those devices a de facto price hike by killing the entry-level configurations of those PCs. We're left with
