Memstop: Use LD_PRELOAD to delay process execution when low on memory

Memstop A lightweight LD_PRELOAD shared object that delays process execution when system memory is critically low. Memstop monitors available memory and waits until a configurable percentage of memory becomes available before allowing the application to start. Purpose Memstop is designed to prevent crashes caused by memory exhaustion in parallel processing systems. It can be particularly useful in: Parallel build systems (like make -j ) where you want to prevent the build from failing due to

ADXL345 (2024)

The ADXL345 is a MEMS accelerometer made by Analog Devices. It’s a popular device among hobbyists because of its low cost, easy availability and rich feature set. But apparently you should be careful about where you buy them: one of my readers ended up with a bunch of ADXL345s that had significant offsets, measurement axes that didn’t work at all, and an inoperative freefall detection mode. After spending lots of time trying to get them to work, he decided to send them to me instead and hopefull

The xMEMS 'fan on a chip' is ready for smart glasses

As AI reignites Big Tech's push for smart glasses, here's a tech that could play a central role. xMEMS, which debuted a solid-state "fan on a chip" last year, has a new one for wearables. This could help future smart glasses melt your face figuratively — and not literally. Founded in 2018, xMEMS specializes in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The California-based company started with solid-state speakers. Last year, it introduced its µCooling "fan on a chip" for phones and oth
