To add to this, despite all efforts to educate people, many STILL don't know that antibiotics don't work against viruses and will want one when dealing with a cold or other viral infection. If we let antibiotics be over-the-counte

I remember playing 44khz 16-bit stereo MP3s encoded at 128 kbit/sec on a 133 Mhz 486. It gobbled like 90% of the CPU and I had to make sure I gave it a pretty large buffer so it didn't stutter when an app claimed CPU for more than

Questioning the lithium source is valid, but also a red herring when we're talking about environmental impact. But yes, battery minerals can involve human rights abuses. But ICE vehicles are also built from steel, aluminum, copper, rub

The carbon footprint of producing an EV is higher than an ICE. Nobody disputes that. But the lower carbon footprint of operating the an EV makes the EV have a lower footprint over the life of the vehicle. This is true even if your elect

What defines an "e-bike" varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It also changes when talking in a colloquial context. There are electric riding devices that are bicycle-shaped that go up to 45 mph (72 km/h) that are being

The funny thing is, someone paying $3,400 for a Steam Machine would be an idiot. Internally, it's equivalent to a mid-grade PC from 2018. You're not playing AAA games in 4K on this thing.
