With QML you can implement native fractional scaling but I don't know how it interacts with Windows's scaling mostly because I don't have a high DPI screen on my Windows computer. My application has a setting where you can ch

In my experience QML is buttery smooth on Linux, even on older hardware, but it just isn't as smooth on Windows.

Personally I carry my GR on a (tiny) shoulder strap in the summer or in a jacket pocket in the winter. It would fit nicely into a purse too. I carry my Pixel everywhere, but I simply detest using it for artistic photos because the touchscre

For those itching for better-than-phone image quality in a portable form factor, look no further than the Ricoh GR, which packs a huge APS-C sensor and an incredible lens into a tiny inconspicuous package.

They're out of style, but keyboard trays that extend out from the desk let you get the keyboard lower and closer to you for better shoulder and arm positioning. You don't need a split unless you're zombie-arm reaching for a k

The angle of attack of the propeller blades and the gearing relative to the wheels cause the blades to be seen by the wind as moving upwind relative to the ground. Alternatively, think of it as merely harvesting energy from the velocity dif

I did not say that. I wrote "Wind pushes the propeller." The vehicle is basically extracting energy from the difference in velocity between the ground and the air. The wind pushes the propeller forward, the ground pushes the whe

The wind pushes the propeller, the gearing of the wheels to the propeller cause the overall vehicle to advance faster than the blades on the propeller (as seen by the wind). It's an overdrive—the wind pushes the vehicle faster than the

Yes you could make 14 million hybrids from the batteries in 300k pure EVs. But the sad truth is that Q1 2021 they only sold 140,000 hybrids in the US (23% of 600k), less even than the number of Teslas (180k). At least in the US, they are

They do offer them, but not on every vehicle (particularly the pickups and more trucklike SUVs), and only 23% of NA Toyotas and Lexuses were hybrids in Q1 2021. If they believe that fuel cell vehicles are the future, they ought to hybridize

If Toyota were serious about this, then every vehicle they make should be a hybrid, instead of a mere 20-something percent.

It's good. Due to the stiffness of real strings, the overtones do not occur at even multiples of the fundamental frequency. This means that when tuning a piano, you need to compromise between tuning so that the fundamentals are in tune
