Given the age range of candidates from Clinton/Bush Jr. to now, and how neither side is worried that their candidates will end eventually up like Reagan, there's a good chance that something behind the scenes is happening.

Perhaps, but the Sino-Vietnamese War is nearing 40 years old by now. A lot of combat experience and grand strategy from then is completely irrelevant by now. Arguing over how much the basic infantry experience has changed from then to now i

Doing some dead reckoning translation work from the Chinese news source, this seems more like reheating Huawei's Nearlink for the broader Chinese market than making a new technology. Also good chance Star Flash's actual name in En

Apple hasn't really been known for good mice especially since they switched to usb. Their best mouse was the Mighty Mouse and not by much. The entire magic mouse concept is half baked since it relies too much on invisible touch areas f

Problem is that we live in an environment where a company like AT&T can lobby for basically anything they want, and have basically no accountability when they don't meet their obligations. You even have people telling stories where

Honestly, this type of board is something that you aren't really going to just install in a case and forget about it. You are most likely going to have this on a test bench so you can swap out all kinds of different hardware for valida

it takes time (~2 years) for silicon designers to go from idea to taping out silicon. The P550's cores are advertised as having good area efficiency, so it could be both getting rid of the vector extensions to optimize area and they ju

Those things are cool in their own right, but most of those belong within the context of someone looking to make something or learn electronics. Not necessarily something that someone looking to use one as a fully fledged computer is going

Cost. These "new" products are doing the bare minimum needed turning extant mechanisms into a product, than make bespoke tooling for a specific performance envelope. Cassettes are definitely a hipster kind of thing, CDs aren'

Even leads for monitoring brain activity don't do that stuff. And they are monitoring literally mV. Leads and contact patches are often made of silver to capture that stuff too, and they have actual reasons to use silver.

Those are way better links. Just knowing that the wallpaper on my 2nd screen is going to be fixed solves a pretty big bugbear for me.

Google Pay still exists. It hasn't died per se, just bounced around a bunch of Google apps before the core functionality got subsumed into what is now Google Wallet. There's an entire flowchart on Wikipedia it's that bad.

Far as I know, X-Ray lithography is even harder than EUV. Mostly because optical manipulation of X Rays barely exist, and X Rays only interact with heavier elements.

What are the chances that the software is just a version of Android, maybe Linux? Google could barely put out a few devices using Fuschia doing the same thing basically.

On paper any PCIe 2.0 motherboard can receive a BIOS update adding ReBAR support with 2.1, but reality is that you pretty much have to get a PCIe 3.0 motherboard to have any chance of having it or modding it in yourself. Another issue is th

A not inconsequential possibility is that both the iGPU and dGPU are sharing the transcoding workload, rather than the dGPU replacing the iGPU. It's a fairly forgotten feature of Intel Arc, but I don't blame anyone because the hel

Seems like an effort to stick video en/decoding behind graphics drivers as a vendor neutral approach instead of relying on VDPAU or VA-API. These efforts should equally apply to Windows and Android as well as Linux.

Problem with gathering data off cars is that it's really not that effective vs your phone. A car realistically just sits around doing nothing 80% of the time, while a phone is with you 24/7, likely powered 24/7, and already h

It's genuinely terrifying how narrow the use cases are for a Mac, and how much power Apple is shamelessly stuffing into them.

Transmeta's whole elevator pitch was a power efficient CPU that through translation software, happened to run x86 instructions so there's no porting nonsense necessary. Only issue was that they made it 1/x efficient, at 1&#x2

Thing about flying cars is that you can either have a good car or a good aircraft. Having both combined is worse at both and more expensive at both. Not to mention the headache of dealing with the FAA and whoever does vehicles to get it air

You are forced to use macOS if you want to make apps for macOS. If there's some difference between an older macOS and the latest one, you can't run said older version, get to the bottom of what's happening, and patch your app

Distribution maintainers pretty much do whatever they want with the OS level ABI. That on top of whatever those user space libraries want to do anyways makes native application ABI stability basically impossible.
