Hardware is a dangerous topic
David asked about something this morning, and over the next hour, I explained:
- why VGA can cram so much information into 5 pins
- that dual-link DVI isn’t two cables
- how 15-foot USB cable-repeaters work
- why PC laptops don’t usually have DVI ports
- VESA’s DisplayPort
- why Firewire bottlenecks hard drives
- how flash memory works
It’s like following Wikipedia links.
