That advertisement is nauseating.

It's not a bug, it's a feature

Fun fact, you can't fire people that aren't employees. Judges are sometimes elected (so that they can be recalled or unseated), but other times those seats are assigned for life. Another fun fact: authoritarians ("I'm in the position of power, you have to do what I say") can come from either...

Much of the criticism is accurate. Their hardware is always behind the times! I am seeing a huge benefit from that though: I still get regular updates for my 2009 MBP. I pretty much only do software development work on it these days, but I still sometimes need to do audio/video work. It isn't as...

You know, I'm not so sure. Hasn't the bottom been falling out of their market from the currency miners? Maybe they bet big and made a lot of 1030s, then none of them were moving. Now, to sell them all (instead of dump them in a landfill), they need to build cards - but there isn't enough GDDR5...

Generalization-like typing detected. That's not at all what I have found, working with homeless and folks living paycheck to paycheck. I've found our system is built to maximize profit, and the only times that's not happened is when the workers have a balance of control against the...

As you note, we do already have laws that can apply. The problem is in evidence - how does one prove an ex is screwing with their lives? It helps to have laws that specify IoT devices can be weaponized in this fashion.

FTA: The NTSB and Tesla later realized that the battery should have been fully de-energized. Gee, d'ya think?

You know it can take time to do a full investigation and build a solid case, right? Especially when it comes to issues of newer technology, where judges and juries need to be walked through completely new concepts? It's pretty similar to the whole Mueller thing - in fact, they may even be...

This looks like a killer app for me. Really digging the music. Might be time to invest in a Vive Pro.

End of line.

I'm going to be that jerk who notes that "better" is subjective, so of course the net result will be along the lines of, "Well, that's like, your opinion, man."

RUM CABLE! I'M SORRY, RUM CABLE!

Some other things to keep in mind: - Magnetic presence along the cable can cause dropped packets - When running cable, unless it's shielded, don't run it alongside of power cables; crossing is fine. That whole magnetism thing - Conduits are your friend - mostly applicable to new buildings...

The reviewer in the video mentioned the display being a potential issue. How does it work for you? Too bright at night/dim in the day? Does it have sufficient auto-dimming functionality?
