All desktop and server power supplies use active PFC at this point, because the cost of the much bulkier passive components is now higher than the cost of the active ones. EDIT: apparently not quite, I went on Newegg and the non-80plus powe

Double-insulated appliances don't need to be earthed.

Indeed, I had FUKKIRETA X 9 on my Watch it Again. I did.

At least they didn't watch anything embarassing. My Youtube recommendations page is a dumpster fire.

When I had Sprint, they did in fact scale down and recompress all images in lower quality JPEG. Some carriers even attempt to realtime transcode video into a lower bitrate. The implementations of this are universally poor and produce rather

This only applies to executables I think, as I've never seen the warning on Firefox Nightly.

And long before that, Xilinx made FPGAs with embedded POWER processors.

Instead, it looks like the IETF will be the one solving it. https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/capport/documents/

Lenovo actually has a moderately good track record here - they have shipped firmware updates that fixed Linux-only issues.

Or the Novena, also on CrowdSupply [1]. It's the closest to a "real" ARM computer as I've found. It has 4GB of RAM, SATA, and all the peripherals you'd expect for a laptop or low profile desktop. I've used it t

The big limitation is that you only get 96MB of RAM. But still, it's a pretty reasonable choice if you want a big-endian test system on the cheap.

It is slower than Vorbis, but faster than AAC. On my 900MHz rpi2, decoding at 48khz uses about 10% of one core, so you should be alright.

In fact, the $2000 Lulzbot printer used in the article is made of lots of 3D printed parts, manufactured on a farm of Lulzbot printers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_jUObUGLTA

The RepRap project and the derived printers tend to share the opposite philosophy - the original idea was to print parts for more printers, so naturally parts were designed to be 3D printed. The RepRap logo is a compromise design for part h

The point of CSS animations isn't HW accel - you get that just from layerization. What it does get you is animations executing off the JS thread, so if you have piles of third party JS it won't cause frame drops.

Neat. Maybe they can even put license compliance on their roadmap (they statically linked in OpenSSL).

Yes there is - in the kernel tree. Works great for my desktop and laptop.

You can also use pruning, that's how I run a full node on my laptop SSD. Initial setup still requires a full download though.

No, the 1.7MB figure was an average, the max for base+witness is about 4MB. https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/01/26/segwit-benefits/ It's true that to reach the maximum capacity, all Bitcoin soft

jooster's comment says that if you broadcast a transaction to the network and it doesn't confirm, it might confirm any time in the future - which is true. You need to assume that any of the transactions you issue will confirm - e.

It's because all sane wallets have a fee estimator and will pay the appropriate fee to confirm quickly.

You can't have both transactions processed - they conflict with each other. So you won't accidentally send someone double.

SegWit landed in Bitcoin Core master last week. Once activated, it increases the size of an average Bitcoin block to ~2MB.

You're right, full nodes sitting on the network don't do a whole lot. It's important that many economically active users (e.g. wallets) are fully verifying though. Wallets based on a fully verifying node are less susceptible

It was before BlueZ 5.0 was released. Not that it matters because BlueZ on Android doesn't use PulseAudio.

Indeed, they made a mess of it twice - right around when BlueZ finally got good, they switched to a different stack on Android 4.2 and broke everything again.

I'd highly recommend getting a tiny mp3 player (say Clip Zip, though they are now discontinued...) and a short light headphone cable. Why send audio wirelessly when the tech to play it is as small as the receiver? There are also headph
