For years, the dream of owning a true home theater felt reserved for those willing to spend thousands on complex setups. But 2025 has changed that entirely. With compact 4K projectors now rivaling premium TVs in brightness, color accuracy, and smart features, cinematic experiences have finally become attainable for every kind of viewer—from casual streamers […] The post 12 best home theater projectors for an amazing cinematic experience appeared first on RoboticsBiz.| RoboticsBiz
For anyone diving into electronics, Arduino is often the gateway to understanding how software and hardware come together to create interactive systems. But what if you could build, test, and debug your circuits without ever touching a real board or a breadboard? That’s where Arduino simulators come in. These tools allow you to experiment freely—whether […] The post Top 7 arduino simulators: The best tools to design, debug, and experiment without hardware appeared first on RoboticsBiz.| RoboticsBiz
Apple hat sein neues iPad Pro vorgestellt – und diesmal passt endlich alles zusammen. Während die Hardware schon lange bereit war, hat das Betriebssystem bisher oft gebremst.

If you read my recent posts, I’m replacing an existing zpool with new devices. At first, I went to copy the old zpool to a new zpool. I then decided instead of copying, to replace. I’m also going to see about compression. I’m sure it won’t take effect, because replace is a block-by-block copy, or so I think. We’ll confirm. Before Here is the zpool, really, just the top-level filesystem. Notice how compression […]| Dan Langille's Other Diary
This morning, as I was typing the subject of this blog post, I realized I don’t have to do this copying. The new devices are staying in this host. It is better for me to add the new devices to the zpool and remove the old devices. That is so much easier. The existing zpool can stay in use and there is no interruption in service.
