Because a harness would kill more people than it would save. Harnesses are only safer in vehicles with roll cages where the human is wearing a helmet AND a HANS device. Anywhere else, a standard 3-point is superior safety equipment.

I've got a GoPro (HERO9 Black) on my motorcycle. I was trying to use it as a "dash cam", and it was TERRIBLE at it. Image quality was fantastic. Stabilization was top notch. But little software issues kept it from being any good. 1) Every time you turn it on, you must set the clock. Not an...

Can't view X at work. Assuming that was 4x32GB (which "feels" like the largest capacity single stick in 1995), the equivalent kit today would be a 4x512GB kit - which runs about $20K. Still a bit pricey, but not as far off as I would have thought!

I lucked out. My gaming group flat out told me they're pissed at Discord, and that I should build a replacement. So I did. And we all use that. It's been a while since I checked, but I wanna say it was under 5,000 lines of code total in its current iteration. (WASM app using Go) I need to find...

IIRC, it's basically a wash - same dimensions vertical or horizontal.

Ended up re-using the mobo/ram in a different case: I'll get back to finishing up the O2 model one day. Those curves just tick me off in Solidworks.

This is really interesting. I remember a while back looking at using a GPU as a RAID accelerator. The numbers were very, VERY impressive.

I'd go as far as to say that not only should a monitor not have software, it shouldn't even have a driver. A signal should be sent out the appropriate interface, and the monitor can either read it or not. There should be a standard for how monitors announce their capabilities, and the OS should...

Games are cheap today. SMB3, adjusted for inflation, would be something like $125. Final Fantasy 3? $155. The NES w/SMB & Duck Hunt was $150 and later dropped to $100 ($420 & $280 adjusted). Consoles cost about $500. That's what history has ingrained into the collective consciousness. If MS...

I gave away my MK3S and enclosure to a coworker. It was a fantastic bedslinger, but the build volume was just too small for what I wanted. Got a Creality K2 Plus now. It's... okay. Doesn't feel as nice as the Prusa. Spending 20 minutes calibrating before a 10 minute print feels absurd. The...

Yeah, Apple's touchpad is seriously good. On my Mac Pro, I use a wireless touchpad instead of my G903 mouse, because it's THAT good. Going from that to my terribad Dell laptop is an exercise in annoyance. I don't know what it is, but no Windows laptop I have ever used has had what I'd call a...

Just verified that under Tahoe, the OS pulls 2.93GB of RAM sitting at the desktop (with all the default widgets on and running). On an 8GB laptop, that's gonna leave about 5GB for the applications. Safari with four tabs open takes... About 400MB. Pages (iWork version of MS Word) takes up about...

I'm having a bear of a time finding a powerful GPU that'll fit in the enclosure I'm building. I recently hit upon these software packages that seem to be like VNC/RDP, but ultra low latency. If I can move my GPU to a server sitting in my rack downstairs, I could have a much smaller case on my...

I'm in college right now. 90% of the students have Macbooks. 100% of the professors use Macbooks. I have an old 12.9" iPad Pro at home. The first gen - 2015, so over a decade old. It runs the current OS with only 4GB of RAM, and has PLENTY left over. If Apple wants to keep their RAM...
