> Is this right? Wouldn't it be base-3 encoding? Three bits of binary can count to 8. Three trits of base three can count to 27. Color has all sorts of disadvantages but maybe a much greater payoff (unless I m…
I had the same thing happen to my Pros, with one being much louder than the other and the noise cancelling barely working, and it turns out they just needed cleaning. A couple years of gunk and dust getting in the vents…
I'm not sure why Notes needs to be bundled with the OS update, but Safari isn't. You can download Safari 17 for macOS Ventura as well! Only the features that require integration with other apps (such as auto-filling 2FA…
4 deaths per 50 million miles means it’s just under 1 death per 10 million miles. That would put riding a one wheel for 1 mile at the same risk as biking 1 mile, walking 2 miles, or driving 25 miles[1]. That is of…
I noticed this too, but it seems to have dropped off. In the month or so after I migrated from Google to Zoho I had a ton of spam, and was considering other options. But since then I haven't really gotten any more than…
Most likely. I know mine blocks all new domains for the first day or two after registration.
UltraTrac on my Fenix 5 is pretty useless though, you may as well not be recording at all at that point. I'm not sure if it's gotten better on the more recent watches, but the reported mileage would be off by 30%+ and…
> because you're not taking money for the service there is no real liability Just because you're not taking money doesn't mean you can break the law without liability! Even outside of GDPR/CCPA, most states require all…
In an all-party consent state you would need everyone in the call to consent for recording to be legal, but even in one-party consent states you would still at least need OP's consent to be recording! If the user says…
I don't think they were trying to say Arizona is the alternative California people would move to. I think they were saying it's the state that's going to feel the effects of prolonged drought first, because they have…
I've always turned off Turbo Boost on my Intel laptops anyway, because of the heat/battery hit. If I was doing something that I really wanted the extra speed and I was plugged in, I would turn it back on for that task,…
Can you not reply from a user+foo@example.com alias? I use the catchall approach (so just foo@example.com when signing up for foo), but if I need to email customer support I'll just send the email from foo@example.com.…
The biggest advantage of smart lights I've noticed (I have the Hue Color Ambiance) is the simulated sunrise. No matter what time you want to wake up, it'll gradually get light just before your alarm goes off. This makes…
There are lots of small vendors (especially at farmers markets) still using the swipe only Square reader. This will presumably allow them to start accepting contactless as well. The main advantage of this is most banks…
I've got a 6" Celestron, and I think it would be capable of following a plane that's sufficiently high up. It can slew a max of 5°/sec, so that would be ~500mph at 10000' or well over 1500mph at 30000'. Because it's a…
Colorado has 32 ski resorts and Vermont 26. I don't think you need to go to the backcountry to avoid the crowds, just to a smaller lift serviced mountain.
I think this specific memory leak is only in Monterey. I definitely have to manually kill Control Center every few days otherwise it'll be using 20GB+ of RAM. Supposedly it's fixed in the 12.1 beta though, so hopefully…
From talking to a ranger here the issue in Boulder's parks (I don't know about elsewhere) is that they disturb nesting raptors. And that seems consistent with the fact that you are allowed to fly drones in the more…
It supports an ACK, but unless you have a two-way i-gate nearby you should probably consider it to be a one-way protocol. All of the ones near me just go RF -> internet so there's no way to get a response back to RF…
If you don't need all of the speed, I'd recommend disabling power boost. My i9 laptop averages ~10-15W with it disabled, compared to the ~20W my fridge uses. Even when maxed out CPU it's only ~40W, compared to ~100W…
The iPhone 5s still receives security updates and is now 8 years old. And it's not on Apple's "vintage and obsolete" list, which means they still have repairs available. So it's not quite a "10 Year Smartphone" yet, but…
I'm no longer a new grad, and was onboarded long before COVID. I think those same problems, lack of productivity, understanding unable to tell expectations all applied even in-person. It seems to be more of a supervisor…
Works on iOS Safari, you just gotta enable WebGL 2.0 (Safari -> Advanced -> Experimental Features) in settings. Of course it requires a mouse/keyboard to be attached for the controls, so it only really works on an iPad.
Apple just announced this as a feature for FaceTime at WWDC (though not out until the fall, which seems poorly timed). I’ve wondered for the past year why no major conferencing software has implemented that.
I've got some good free resource recommendations if you want: https://wiki.analog.com/university/courses/electronics/text/... - An excellent free "Intro to Electronics" course from Analog. In fact, all of the courses on…
