Who took it literally? I think I was being very kind in pointing out the typo by using gentle sarcasm. Perhaps my saying that 50 mHz is "well below" human hearing instead of "practically fucking DC" confused you?

This is "news for nerds." Any self-respecting nerd that doesn't know the SI system of prefixes should just turn the computer off and go back to bed. Trying to insult the messenger for a failure to preview a posting and being NINE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE WRONG is just pathetic.

Look on the bright side. This might be what finally spurs support for your phone from an alternative operating system.

Doesn't Asus have Transformers with 10" and expandable storage? ... yep, memo pad, transformer, slate... As for your last point, MS is completely willing to drop a platform that turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. We'll see.

The F-450 is sufficiently ungainly to where most people will not drive one for vanity. I do know of one F-450 pickup truck conversion, which has a shortened frame and a custom bed, but even it is regularly used for towing.

I'd imagine that the range will be somewhat decreased, but if most Leafs which haven't been piloted into a tree (etc) aren't still operating in 12 years, I will be shocked. Hopefully not literally.

I believe the assumption here is that it's not difficult for TPTB to get their firmware onto your computer. In an enterprise it's slightly tricky to do it without risk of being caught. Where individual users are concerned there is little risk in leaning on the OS vendor to deliver to you and you alone an additional payload right in a signed patch package.

Hi.

the Nyquist limit of the audio sampling hardware of a cell phone over instruction rate of a modern CPU is a pretty small fraction.

The "audio" in question is most likely all below 24 kHz, that being the Nyquist limit for the 48 kHz sampling hardware, unless it happens that some phones can actually sample faster, and have microphones that can respond to higher frequencies.

The instruction rate of the CPUs in question is many times that frequency.

It doesn't sound likely.

Using multiple cores turns out to help the attack (by shifting down the signal frequencies).

Say what? Through what mechanism would multiple cores shift down the frequency? And what about parallel instruction streams contributing to noise?

I'd guess flooding with white noise in the right spectrum might.

Well, think of it like trying to hear an opera singer in between a lot of traffic noise. Even your ear can do that to some degree, but for software it is fairly trivial to separate the song from the other noises, especially if you know what opera is being sung. The singer might not be singing in the key you know or he might have a bit of variety in the way he interprets the song, but you know in general what it should sound like so you know what to look for, and then you work from there.

Mac Mini not iPad mini

But with plenty of different compilation and optimization options, not to mention a lot of compilers to choose from, the "sound" of the CPU should definitely change from binary to binary.

Wow. You have a radio that tunes that low? What signals did you hear? Nyquist tells us that the highest frequency you could modulate on that would be 50 mHz, well below the range of human hearing.
