We use several ports for engineering work. USB is highly used to connect to oscilloscopes, meters, JTAG emulators, etc. Many of these systems could use USBC with a hub, but sometimes visiting a customer, it is a pain to carry all these dongles, just…

Apple Pay worked today on a Chick-Fil-A store. Their salads and chicken are the best from the fast food industry. They also train their employees to be very respectful and professional. The company is highly community involved. For example, after …

The teachers I have talked to see a growing common trend in the past 10 years. Electronics these days are creating a society of kids that cannot focus, have no patience, and are easily distracted. With electronics becoming their nannies, they have…
