Windows font rendering is surprisingly flexible. When you do the "calubrate cleartype" wizard, it can change many options on a per-monitor basis. You can also directly edit the registry to change the gamma, greyscale/colour,

Extra fun with organizations that use single sign on. Change your pc login and now your phone has the wrong wifi credentials. Let it attempt to connect too many times and your account is disabled.

For a while, Discord had few password restrictions so 5 characters were fine. Then they changed their app to only allow 6+ character passwords.

The M1 Max also has twice the memory channels to feed that GPU. Instead of a 256b wide "quad channel" memory controller, it has a 512b wide "octa channel" memory controller. That's an immense amount of bandwidth wit

The T450 series got rid of that, and they are just turning 6 years old. He may have one of those.

If you're clever, you can usually hotswap that drive too, since it's just a dumb SATA port. More convenient to do with the CD-bay 2.5" drive caddies.

Not in Canada. Here CTV (owned by Bell) has the license rights, and you need a bell TV subscription to watch.

Me too. Human readable error messages sure would be nice. Instead the PC just does it's own thing instead of restarting and being there when I need it.

Most modern CUVs have a similar side profile to the Aztek. One of the reasons they look less awkward is that bigger wheels are more popular. There's a few other awkward design quibbles with the Aztek, but for the most part similar cars

That's the gross vehicle weight rating, which is the max weight of the vehicle including cargo. The R1T has a curb weight of ~7,000lbs[0] with the 135kWh battery. That is still as much as a Dually F-350. The 180kWh option would be heav

Expresscard also exists as a hotswappable version of PCIe for laptops. It's only one lane, so even the modern laptops with PCIe v3 have dismal bandwidth compared to USB3 or Displayport. Surprise unplugs aren't great. On windows yo

Mechanical grip is entirely a function of tire compounds. In fact, ebikes can have even more tractive grip because you can make them AWD! This makes them much safer in snow and ice compared to other two wheeled vehicles.

Being pedantic, the suspension of the xm700+ doesn't have a shock. Its a simple coil spring that gives the wheel some room to wiggle. Shock absorbers actually dissipate that energy with oil/air/rubber. If you ride it like a b

Here in North America, most ebikers just wear bicycle helmets. Bicycle helmets are only rated for a fall from 2.0m onto the ground, or about 22km/h. [0] Ebikes tend to go much quicker than this. [0] https://www.astm.org/

The implication is that most DIY ebikers don't bother with pedalling. Hand throttle keeps you at 50km/h fine. Long seatposts that bring you up to a typical height are fine. The suspension is doing the work, no need to leave the sa

Two strokes (and any other small engined scoot) qualify as low speed motorcycles here in Ontario. They require license, registration, and insurance. As a result, there is no market for them. Ebikes on the other hand are legally bicycles. As

Assuming his motor is mounted tight enough so that the tire loses traction before his friction drive does, he's likely halving his tire life. That's fine for a project, but hub motors and mid drive motors are widely available now.

The shocks on most cheap bikes are questionable at best. Lots of stiction and you're lucky if there's any dampening at all. Downhill mountainbikes are popular conversions. They are designed with high speeds and impacts in mind. Th

It's not degree-Kelvin, it's just Kelvin. The article's been updated to clarify, but if it only said 1,800 degrees, it'd likely be referring to degree Celsius.
