Reading Time: 3 minutesTennis for Two is one of the very first video games in history. It eventually inspired Atari’s Pong, which itself spawned many derivatives. Tennis for Two outputted vector graphics to an oscilloscope and had an elevation view of the “tennis court,” complete with gravity. Pong had pixel-based raster graphics with a simpler top-view. That worked better at low resolutions and with […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesLarge solar panel installations are vital for our future of energy production without the massive carbon dioxide emissions we currently produce. However, microscopic fractures, hot spots, and other defects on the surface can expand over time, thus leading to reductions in output and even failures if left undetected. Manivannan Sivan’s solution for tackling this issue revolves around […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesGetting started with a new device management platform is a drag. You have to get familiar with the terminology and the environment. You have to create new devices, dashboards, widgets, and read a lot of documentation and that’s usually very time consuming, even if the platform is very easy to use. Furthermore, it is even […]
