AFAIK 3d printed guns aren't illegal as long as they're able to be detected by a metal detector, unless a state has passed a law that imposes an additional restriction.

I would need to see it fire for myself before believing that the recoil didn't have an massive effect on the stability of the drone. It also looks like it isn't gimbaled so quick follow up shots will most likely be impossible. One

Related is that Alexa seems to like to add any HP printers nearby with WiFi direct still on, and relentlessly remind you when the neighbor's printer ink is low. I have ~20 random printers in my Alexa account that I don't own and k

Are they using like a RAM disk then or are they mapping a network drive for storage while they're running? I've always been curious about setting up netbooting but beyond a failed experiment a long long time ago I haven't rea

I am aware of the write endurance problems of sd cards, but I've had numerous cards that are cooked fresh out of the box, even from 'good' manufactures like Samsung. I don't like having to do binning for the manufacturer

Did you read my comment? :) I did read that they were going to support M.2., and I have gotten around my issues with SD cards in the past using SSD-grade USB drives and NVMe adapters. My comment was about how crap SD cards are, and how this

TBH the thing I hate most about this category of SBC is the reliance on SD cards. They are both too unreliable to trust and so slow that they often bottleneck the SBC. Buying them is often a crap shoot too, I've purchased cards batches

^ yep. SSNs are also terrible to collect, as they are hard to verify if the user even gave you a valid number, as there's no self checking system like credit cards, you have to check against some 3rd party database that may know who th

Man, I know why it's a thorny topic but sometimes I really wish we had a single identity system in the states, just one card that had all your licenses on it, driving/boating/hunting/ccw, and one API to pull all that inf

I agree that it's barely used in this day and age but worth noting that Titanfall 1, 2, and Apex Legends are all heavily modified Source

In (western) NY it's unheard of now. Everything is some form of PPO.

How is the water 'consumed'? I see that in the article that they say that they only draw water in on hot days, but what happens to it after? Surely they can't hold onto all of it. Is it just discharged, but a bit warmer? Woul

I think it's mostly a numbers thing. Willing to bet that most people take owning a gun seriously, but there's a loooooooooot of guns in the US. There's enough in US circulation alone to give a gun to every citizen of the US,

Genuinely curious, but why desolder the Ethernet port? If you don't want it to connect to the network just don't plug a cable in right?

I think it's automatic highbeams mostly. They either make the driver lazy or unaware of who they're blinding. Sorta like how it's a bit jarring to go back to a car with completely manual lighting after driving one that automa

It's because it's on every device we use. Works in the browser so I don't have to install a client as well. Just was the chat tool we both used heavily at the time, and now it's got inertia.

This has been a constant bit of friction between my wife and I. To me, the norms are: - Unscheduled calls are if it's an emergency or something that you need an answer to right now - Calling twice in a row is an emergency - SMS if it&#

My point was more towards the 2-in-1s and tablet PCs, not really phone or 'true' tablets. Devices that have been pretty popular over the last decade, like Surface Pros (I had used a Pro 2 and Pro 3 during my experiment) or Lenovo

A bit ago I did a bit of an experiment with an old surface tablet, where I threw some linux distros at it to see what the experience was. I tried Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Fedora, and all were extremely janky to downright broken. On screen keybo

It's the norm for hybrids and electrics. My 2014 volt doesn't have a spot for a spare, just some expired fix-a-flat and a 12v air compressor.

Wasn't able to read too far due to the paywall, but it seems that the folks who predicted that they were discontinuing the Bolt to upgrade it to Ultium were correct. Don't know why they just didn't announce the upgrade back w

Of course we can't have anything nice anymore. Soon the only free OTA channels will be the bible thumping happy hour crap. We use OTA to watch the local news, and it feels like this will be another blow to our ability to hear about wha

I mean, some will. We have a two button cancel process and we'll have accidental clicks a couple times a year. However, two incidents a year does not justify the lengths that some companies will go to retain your sub.
