With every new generation of cellular technology, this question comes up. This started as early as CT, then DECT, GSM, 3G, 4G and now 5G. After 30+ years of having consumer grade wireless telephony we are still debating whether the radio si

I've played around with the nginx cloudflare patches and quiche, and it all seems to work just fine in my lab setup. I don't like having to apply third party patches to any mission critical software such as nginx. So I'll wai

The dust accumulates between the fan and the heatsink/radiator, it usually has nothing to do with the fan itself. Thanks for the tip on the coil whine issue, I thought it was just a design flaw. Maybe I can get it fixed under warranty.

I bought an X1E also as a replacement for my MBP, mostly for the keyboard and due to all the praise of developers about Lenovo. Mine has the same specs as yours, including the dual SSD for Linux. Overall it is pretty good, but nowhere near

I'd argue that the noise plays a big part in firework displays. Like with racing, the noise is a big part of the experience. And this comes from someone who gets really annoyed by loud motor vehicles.

Yes, for the first couple of years 5G will be a marketing thing (5 is more than 4, so it _must_ be better). It helps manufacturers sell more devices and telcos to convince people to upgrade their plan. My opinion is that we don't reall

I'm not a native English speaker, can you explain? I mean, I can see how it would be a problem if you were to mispronounce the 'g' as a 't', but a g and t differ enough that I can't imagine that happening. Or i

Now that I'm thinking about it: you could just limit a connection to ~30mbit permanently and remove any data limit. 30mbit is enough to stream 4K video, so there is currently no actual use-case for more bandwidth on mobile devices. Tho

1000km/h is the maximum velocity of the train (Vmax), it's cruising speed will probably be lower. You also need to accelerate and decelerate, so the average speed (Vavg) will be much lower than 1000km/h.

Brakes slow a car down in terms of velocity over time. But they may make a car faster in the sense of distance over time (aka lap times). I guess the real issue here is that 'fast' is ambiguous. In terms of racing it can be used f

Would 'stricter' mean 'more' in this context? Will the fixes consist of adding more synchronization mechanisms (mutexes, semaphores, etc) to prevent potential race conditions?
