Many engineers and hobbyists often confuse the applications of ferrite beads, 0Ω resistors, and inductors.In our previous discussion, we compared these three basic components from four perspectives—appearance, schematic symbols, internal structure, and practical applications (Ferrite Beads vs 0Ω Resistors: Principles, Characteristics, and EMC Application Guide). However, one question remained unanswered: When implementing single-point grounding, should…

There’s a small component that can be used just like a 0Ω resistor, but it can also function like an inductor.Can you guess what it is? Yes—it’s the ferrite bead. Today, we’ll explore ferrite beads in detail. To make things easier to understand, we’ll compare ferrite beads directly with 0Ω resistors. 1. Appearance Let’s first…

MCP adoption is picking up quickly, so I have been digging into the implementations, especially around security and noticed some serious risks that could become disasters if not handled properly. The new MCP 2025-06-18 spec attempts to address some issues but the reality of most servers with boring security debt will bite you when you…

Apple announced on Thursday it’s introducing a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature for some Watch Series 8, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra. With this move, Apple is bringing back blood oxygen monitoring by tweaking the feature to get around the International Trade Commission’s (ITC) import ban. Blood oxygen data will be measured and calculated on the user’s…

Igor Babuschkin, a co-founder of Elon Musk’s xAI startup, announced his departure from the company on Wednesday in a post on X. Babuschkin led engineering teams at xAI and helped build the startup into one of Silicon Valley’s leading AI model developers just a few years after it was founded. “Today was my last day at…

India-based audio series platform maker Pocket FM aims to be the Netflix of audio. That is, the company intends to match its audio series with hundreds of episodes to its users’tastes. For that to work, it needs to release content rapidly — something it’s now turning to AI to help with. The Lightspeed-backed startup is giving its…

Anthropic has acquired the co-founders and most of the team behind Humanloop — a platform for prompt management, LLM evaluation, and observability — in a push to strengthen its enterprise strategy. The terms of the deal were not shared, but it appears to follow the acqui-hire playbook we’re increasingly seeing in the tech industry amid the war for AI talent. Humanloop’s three…

Lena Hackelöer, founder and CEO of Brite Payments, shares her vision for making Europe a magnet for tech talent There’s no doubt that Europe has ambition. Over the last decade, we’ve laid the foundation for a thriving digital economy, from regulatory leadership to tech-driven reforms and rapidly growing regional hubs. But infrastructure alone doesn’t build…

Python learners and curious developers, you’ve probably heard this famous phrase in the programming world: “Everything is an object in Python.” It sounds almost mystical, but it’s actually one of the core reasons Python is so flexible and powerful. This article will take you from the very basics of“What exactly is an object?”all the way…

Text processing is a cornerstone of Linux system administration and development. Whether you’re parsing logs, transforming data, or automating tasks, tools like grep, awk, sed, and jq are indispensable. Each of these command-line utilities has unique strengths, and together they form a powerful toolkit for manipulating text and data in Linux. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore what each tool…
