Question Is it possible to build a passive many hosts to a single disk SATA splitter?
I don't find any of such cables, and the discussions on the web revolve around SATA being point-to-point and not designed for networked or shared storage. However, if one'd build a cable that is just a passive Y cable where only one computer accesses a disk at a time, then is there a technical rea...

Comment Post #292309 Okay so you conclude that since it's a modified design, then it very likely has to be checked for compliance?

Question What are closest free or low-cost alternatives to software like Ansys PCB modelling?
What are closest free or low-cost alternatives to software like Ansys PCB modelling? https://www.ansys.com/blog/optimize-your-pcb It's too costly for study purposes. To clarify: I am looking for a program or a software framework (e.g. C/C++) that is free (e.g. GPL/MIT) and can do PCB anal...

Comment Post #292235 Slabtop modifications are usually one-off modifications. But the question is maybe about how serious such modification really is. It could be that the antennas would be so low-power that moving them around does not change anything substantially.

Comment Post #292235 Yes, I thought so, but does it apply to the housing of the antennas too? So the 3D printed example for the Macbook Pro would be out-of-spec? What about figuring out what replacement external antennas to fit to the Wi-Fi card's Ipex connectors, while staying within the certification? The certification...

Question Do hobbyist slabtop Wi-Fi modifications need to consult FCC regulations?
Do I need to consult FCC regulations in order to modify a laptop's internal WI-FI antennas to a new housing? This is quite common when modifying laptops to "slabtops". For example, one could 3D print this sort of housing, and the place the IPEX-connected antennas in there: https://www.printable...
