MicroVision is taking technology developed for lidar and aiming it at one of AI infrastructure’s fastest-growing bottlenecks: moving data between accelerators without burning excessive power. Its Scantinel subsidiary has introduced an external laser small form-factor pluggable module, or ELSFP, designed to provide a centralized and serviceable light source for co-packaged optics. A lidar photonics platform…

Packet capture is a network analysis technique used to collect and inspect individual packets of data traveling across a computer network. Instead of only seeing whether a connection is working, packet capture allows engineers, administrators, and cybersecurity professionals to examine what is actually moving between devices. A capture can reveal source and destination IP addresses,…

A digital multimeter is a tool used to measure electrical values. For a beginner, the three measurements to recognize first are voltage, current, and resistance. Think of It as Three Tools in One Voltage (V): electrical potential difference between two points. Current (A): electrical current flowing through a circuit. Resistance (Ω): opposition to current flow.…

The Windows tracert command shows the path your computer takes toward another computer or website. Think of it like seeing the stops along a road trip instead of seeing only the final destination. Try the Basic Command Open Command Prompt, type the command, and press Enter. Windows will begin listing the stops, called hops, between…

The Linux df command answers a simple question: how much storage space is available? If you have ever checked whether your phone, laptop, or game console has enough room for another game, movie, or download, you already understand the basic idea. Start With df -h The -h option means human-readable. Instead of showing large storage…

Open-Source Networking Technician Certification (OSNTC) · Technician pathway · Lesson 001 An IP address is an address used to identify a device on a network. Your phone, laptop, game console, smart TV, and other connected devices can use IP addresses so network traffic can reach the right place. Think of It Like a Home Address…

Open-Source Python Lesson #6 teaches errors and exception handling with try, except, else, and finally. Robust programs should anticipate recoverable failures instead of crashing whenever input, files, telemetry, or other runtime conditions are imperfect. Bitcoin Mining Example: Validate Telemetry Converting a non-numeric string with float() raises ValueError. Catching that specific exception lets a monitoring program…

Python #5 builds on Python #4 by introducing while loops and condition-controlled repetition. A while loop keeps running while its condition remains true, making it useful when the number of repetitions is not known in advance. Bitcoin Mining Example: Cooldown Monitor The loop continues until the simulated ASIC temperature falls to 80°C or below. Real…
