It's pretty easy to salt the firmware with malware if you are the company making counterfeit NICs. This makes them very necessarily a major security risk.

Breaking Bad is not a great example, because the show was created with a defined length that fit the narrative. It had a certain beginning and and end in mind before it became a show. The studio wanted it to run longer, but the owners of th

They were in stock but sold out instantly. The demand for these products is really strong. Inventories will be filled and instantly depleted for a month or more. It's not a paper launch at all.

I've been there a few times in the summer. Some people were complaining about 75F weather, saying it was hot. 75F is the temp that I still wear a light summer jacket, and 70F is pretty chilly to me. Either way 90F without AC is too hot

She wanted to start a clothing line. The world is overflowing with lines of clothing. Entering an over crowded market with a t shirt that's just like a billion other new t-shirts? I'm surprised she sold as many as she did.

Chick-fil-A and McDonald's are two of the better ones. They don't give them to just anyone, and are careful about locations, too. To become a franchisee with them ,you have to have a proven record of success and have plenty of mon

More room for passengers and items. General versatility. A Honda CR-V with the rear seats folded can pack around an amazing amount of gear. A Honda Accord can carry much less stuff. A CR-V also has AWD which not every sedan is available wit

It doesn't run at 5Ghz all the time. 5GHz is it's all-core turbo. It simply means that all cores will run at 5Ghz under full load.

Anand Lal Shimpi left Anandtech 5 years ago, and the quality articles he wrote have not been replaced. It's basically a tech lite blog now.

You can seal the bearings, but that cuts efficiency. That's not the only problem, though. The interface between the bearing and the bearing sprocket will make it rather unusable in very dirty conditions. Their setup seems like an answe

Cars are getting more expensive, and people are keeping them longer. The average transaction price in the USA is $36,000. Even a base model economy car with financing is $25k. A nicely configured economy car will be $30k with financing. Thi

It's a $20 retail movement in a $500 watch. It's many steps away from the quality of a similarly priced Seiko product.

All good points, but they should have selected a non novelty grade movement to start out with. Landfills and warehouses are filled with this type of corporate vanity product that failed to deliver. Beyond that, Timex is a brand name relegat

The question is why? It's a $20 movement in a poorly finished case. The most important part of the watch isn't made in the USA. It's a $50 product being sold for $500. Further, it completely misses the point of what made Time

Canon Lake is the opposite of OK. Its turbo modes are much lower than the previous gen, and it clocks itself lower by 600 MHz under the same workloads. Intel's first crack at 10nm was a jaw-dropping affair for how poorly it showed.

It is poorly written. Some writers confuse mental diarrhea with good writing. His style is overly wordy and needlessly punctuated. He takes too long to push the informative points, all the while cloaking them in too much empty dross. At fir

How exactly have they failed? They are making more money now than they ever have. They are behind on tech right now, but they are still the global CPU juggernaut. Failure isn't a label I would attach to them.

I've read articles of people getting fake HAND SOAP from Amazon. You know, the less than $1/bar soap. Fake laundry detergent is also a big one. The fake bar soap has led me to believe that people will make counterfeits of anything

EVERYBODY suffered terrible casualties during the war. Statistically speaking, tank crews had one of the lowest mortality rates of anything else in the war that also was in battle. Also, all tank crews were not happy to see any other tank.

The T34's were designed this way on purpose. They purposely skipped on making things perfect so long as they were functional. The guns worked. The engines worked. The transmissions worked. This is what they needed, nothing more. See th

It's a horrible idea. Lots of people get laid off or lose their jobs for various reasons. Taking away their transportation is a psychotic approach to debt collection. In many areas, cities are cutting bus service to poor areas. The cit

That depends on the local market and what you can charge for rent, and what your tolerance for pain is. When I first started buying houses to rent, I had a rental unit in a LCOL area, and I spent a lot of time dealing with tenants and rent

A12X has reached parity or better with Intel in terms of integer performance, but what about floating point? Even if they are way behind Intel in that regard, I could see Apple making a desktop version with a beefy fp unit that a phone SOC

There isn't a huge market for the plane. The primary customer is Emirates, who have 109 of them. The next closest, SA, have 24. If you exclude Emirates altogether, the global buy-in for the 380 is 125 units. The remainder of the produc
