Illustrated Engineering

Here are the latest artistic contributions from ElectronicDesign editors.

Engineering on Friday 'toon: Code, Code Will Tear Us Apart, Again

Neo Nightclub, 1980’s New Wave Music and the Matrix inspired this week’s cartoon. Plus, I talk a bit about the first JAVA program I ever made. 

All this and more after the jump, here.

Editor's Weekly Picks

We hope you enjoy the articles on ElectronicDesign, but there's a lot going on and we can't cover everything. In this section, our editors highlight articles they found this week that you might be interested in as well.

Andy's Picks from Around the Web

Coming Thursday....

Andy's Video Pick of the Week

"ECU cracking" - with right to repair laws being shunned by legislators thanks to auto industry lobbyists and automotive modules locked down to VIN, a dead module means a vehicle is effectively scrap for either those shadetree mechanics who wish to DIY vehicle repairs or where support has been completely dropped, or is non-existent, for older vehicles.

Thanks to AI, the DIY vehicle repair community is resorting to AI to "clone" a replacement module, in this case an ECU obtained from eBay.
