Video calls, or actual voice phone calls? Ironically, video calls use more bandwidth yet are cheaper (for voice calls using the standard phone dialing functionality I mean, I don't know too much about plain old voice calls over wifi an

The ASUS BIOS patch update description says: "SoC voltage for Ryzen 7000X3D series limited to a maximum of 1.30V to protect the CPU and motherboard." Does that mean it only applies the fix to the 3D, and with the non-3D 7000 serie

Very well written and informative! One random thing I wonder: in the lexicographic ordering, is there any reason why the convention is that x_2 < x_1, while x^2 > x^1? Where _ denotes subscript, ^ superscript exponents, in other words

I did the opposite and switched from duolingo to flash cards. However it was for improving a language I already know somewhat, and it seems duolingo is useful mostly when you don't know the language at all, but not once you already kno

How do you enter the matrix transpose in this tool? In an example they use X' for transpose and it works. But if I try A' * A, it either becomes just A * A, or it shows nothing and says " This 4th order tensor cannot be displ
