• 15:04, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Remanufacture (Created page with "Remanufacture is the practice of creating good-as-new products using some proportion of pre-used parts. Common examples are ink and toner cartridges and laptop batteries, could equally include a laptop given a new case, keyboard and battery.")
• 14:59, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Recycle (Created page with "Recycling is the practice of recovering raw materials from waste items. This is generally inefficient and often impracticable or uneconomic for valuable materials used in small quantities. Furtthermore the resultant raw materials may not be of sufficient quality for demanding applications. Hence it is regarded as the second-worst option, ahead only of landfill or incineration.")
• 14:50, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Circular economy (Created page with "A circular economy is one where a minimum of items or their parts are sent for landfill or incineration, and a high proportion are either reused, repaired or recycled, so minimising the consumption of raw materials and the pre-use carbon footprint.")
• 14:45, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Repair (Created page with "Repair is the second option (after reuse) in a circular economy. It has been shown that many devices sent for recycling could actually be repaired relatively easily and hence given a new lease of life.")
• 14:42, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Reuse (Created page with "Reuse is the preferred option in a circular economy. Many items are discarded because they have been replaced by a newer model, or simply fallen into disuse, but could be given a second life if sold or donated to a new owner.")
• 14:36, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:E-Waste (Created page with "e-Waste is all those electrical and electronic goods discarded by their owner, whether because they are faulty, no longer needed, or simply replaced by a newer model.")
• 13:57, 23 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Serialisation (Created page with "Serialisation is a name given to the practice of some manufacturers of assigning unique serial numbers to subsystems of a device such as a smart phone. A process only available to the manufacturer and authorised agents is then used to programme the serial numbers into the device and cause it to reject or limit the functionality of replacement parts such as screens or batteries.")
• 20:14, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Gallium (Created page with "Gallium is a soft metal similar to aluminium but with a low melting point. In electronics, many compounds of gallium are semiconductors with useful properties. Gallium arsenide devices are able to operate at much higher frequencies than their silicon counterparts and so are widely used in mobile phones and satellite comunications. Various other gallium compounds are used in practically all visible and infra-red LEDs.")
• 19:48, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Silicon Carbide (Created page with "Silicon carbide (as carborundum) has long been used as an abrasive, but it is also a semiconductor with useful properties for high power applications. In recent years silicon carbide devices such as MOSFETs having higher voltage and power ratings than equivalent silicon devices have been increasingly used in applications such as EVs and power conversion.")

• 17:15, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Duplex (Created page with "A duplex comunication channel is one that supports communication in both directions. A half-duplex channel only allows communication in one direction at a time whereas full duplex allows for simultaneous communication in both directions.")
• 17:12, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Simplex (Created page with "A simplex comminication channel is one that allows for commuication in one direction only, in conttrat to a duplex connection which supports 2-way communication.")
• 17:06, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:COM port (Created page with "A COM port is a serial interface port using a DB-9 connector, offered by virtally all home and personal computers before the advent of USB. Modern computers often still offer simulated COM ports over USB connections for interfacing to simple devices requiring only to be able to exchange a stream of bytes.")
• 17:00, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:D-sub (Created page with "D-subminiature connectors are a series of electrical connectors characterised by their D-shaped shell. Whilst there are numerous variants, just a few are or have been in common use. DB-9 (more correctly DE-9) and DB-25 were ubiqitus on home and personal computers as the serial (COM) and paralel ports before being displaced by USB, and DE-15 is still used for VGA video connectors.")
• 16:35, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:DTE, DCE (Created page with "DTE or Data Terminal Equipment and DCE or Data Communications Equipment are the names given to the two ends of an RS-232 data connection. These were originally assumed to be a computer or computer terminal and a modem respectively but the DCE is now more commonly a computer and the DTE a device or computer controlling it through a command line interface.")
• 16:24, 20 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:RS-232 (Created page with "RS-232 is an old standard originally conceived for communication between a modem and a computer or computer terminal, normally using DB-9 or DB-25 connectors. It was embodied in the COM ports that were once a feature of virtually all personal and home computers. Although now superseded by USB, due to its great simplicity and former ubiquity it is still used where low speed communication is r...")

Anyone can then use the public key to verify a digital signature applied to any piece of data by the identity. The certificate is normally itself digitally signed by a chain of more authoritative identities, ending in a well known root certificate which eve...")

• 09:09, 11 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Hypervisor (Created page with "A hypervisor is a program which allows you to run one or more virtual machines, each in its own padded cell and hence prevented from interfering with one another or with the hypervisor itself. A hypervisor may run as an application under a host operating system, or may run on the "bare metal" without an operating system, and hence free to utilise the totality of available computing, memory and peripheral resources.")
• 09:00, 11 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Virtual Machine (Created page with "A virtual machine or VM is a complete operating system with applications running in a kind of padded cell as an application under a host operating system. In this way, for example, you can try out different Linux distros under an existing Windows installation, or run a Windows installation under Linux if a Windows application you need is not available under Linux.")
• 08:08, 11 April 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glosary:Reverse defenestration (Created page with "Reverse defenestration is a term used to describe the process of throwing Windows out of computers. This is generally in order to install Linux or some other non-Microsoft operating system instead. In partial reverse defenestration, a Windows istallation may remain in a dual-boot configuration or as a virtual machine but this is not admitted as true reverse defenesttration by purists, who prefer radical reverse defenestration, leaving behind...")

• 20:54, 30 March 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Passkey (Created page with "Passkeys are a more secure and more convenient alternative to passwords for logging into a website. Your browser creates and stores a highly secure secret key and gives the website a corresponding public key. Using the public key and clever cryptographic magic, the website can subsequently prove that your bowser knows the secret key without your browser ever revealing what it is. A limitation is that you can only share passkeys between different platforms (Windows/Apple/...")

This is why you should always use different passwords on different sites.")
• 21:19, 29 March 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Password spraying (Created page with "A password spraying attack is when an attacker tries a small number of common passwords against many different accounts on a system in the (often justified) hope that one of them, at least, will be using a weak password.")
• 21:03, 29 March 2024 Philip talk contribs created page Glossary:Brute force attack (Created page with "A brute force attack is an attempt to hack into an account by trying all possible passwords. It's easy to defend against simply by using a reasonaly strong password.")
