Right. We're far removed from the 1930's "have lots of men hold on to lots of ropes" level of technology. I assume airships aren't allowed to touch the ground because it needs to rotate with the wind. For an LZ, the

For the humanitarian use case, how quickly could an airship landing zone be established? I assume it's more than a helipad (empty dirt field) but far less than a runway (FOD-free, long, flat, straight, paved). I wonder if the airship c

I have to imagine that sounds like that from movies are entirely fabricated from a sound designer's mind. The best you could hope for would be a live sound recording from a Goodyear blimp. In fact, from a quick Youtube check, the Goody

If Apple was primarily a hardware company, I could run Android on an iPhone. Apple is about image and status. A walled ecosystem to maintain that image.

The Pro controller has a Nintendo style button layout, compared to the Deck itself and Xbox controllers. Not a super big problem with Steams fantastic remapping but the labels will always be "wrong".

Okay, I was pretty sure I had it right the first time but my confidence is rather low since it's been a while since I read up on it.

Oops, yeah and it's not quite my domain of expertise. In fact, that's the big draw for me: Amateur radio has been amazing for filling in knowledge gaps of low level electrical engineering details. it takes things way past the simp

When the limit was put in place, we didn't know that symbol rate and baud rate could be different. A lot of these discoveries really came into their own during the 90's and enabled far more data transmission than previously imagin

Can someone summarize the video? That was my first thought as well: crash data for humans is clearly underreported. For example, police don't always write reports or human drivers agree to keep it off the books.

I wish people would realize that their vacation photos should include, well, them. When I travel, I'm taking pictures of my family doing things, not the things they're doing. No one needs another generic copy of just the Eiffel To

The popularity of that tree predates Instagram. Insta might exacerbate the phenomenon but it's not new. E.g. Rick Steves and Cinque Terre.

That particular example seems to be entirely the fault of a CEO who was terrible at his job.

At this point, Texas is just Florida with impractical boots and hats. I'm not sure what you were expecting. Go walk around NY or DC or something.

I see a lot of local (blue state) reactionary stuff spurred by other (red) states absolutely horrifying behavior. We don't have their self-inflicted problems but suddenly we need to implement extreme solutions to our non-problems becau

Speaking as an American, for God's sake don't lump me in with Florida! Also, stop pointing out Florida's problems, it only encourages them to double down like an angry teenager (not actual advice, shame the idiots). Honestly

The 10% "richest" people in the world actually includes a lot of pretty poor folks who, in their respective countries, are barely making rent and probably drive a beater car to their crappy job. Even the 1% global "richest&qu

Comments in here are not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting to hear the zeitgeist of Gen-Z climate doomerism that it doesn't matter what everyday people do (recycle, drive less) and pollution is entirely the fault of billiona

I went through a phase like this a long time ago. Mobile kills the entire idea. Sure, you can get Termux or an ssh client going but then what? It's not like Mutt has a hidden touch friendly interface implemented through vt100 codes. Th

Then can you share a device or cable that uses a Lightning connector and supports the USB 3.0 and USB-PD protocols? Who in their right minds would standardize on something that doesn't exist?

by Steltek 3y ago
This is unquestionably the best physical port. The port you want does not exist. Find me a connector that does everything USB-C can do. High speeds. High power charging. Alt modes. Mobile friendly size. Lightning is good for the meager feat

Yeah, I never viewed this as a "flagship device". Everything you could stuff into those voids is a choice with poor tradeoffs. - Bigger battery: More cost, more weight. And who has battery issues with a tablet anyway? Mine lasts f

I went to a lot of trouble to set up my kid's Chromebook in unlocked mode with Linux+Steam installed. It all got obliterated by one naive keypress after it ran out of battery and rebooted. That self-destruct button is ridiculously easy

Thus is solving a different problem entirely and has nothing to do with practicing skeptical/critical reading skills. You're giving advice on ADHD or screen addiction which has little to do with the other.

You need to be more specific with Red Hat :). I'm guessing you meant like "GNOME 1.2" era Red Hat that came on a CheapBytes CD.
