   > Double digits leads to triple digits. Just to put everything onto the same scale, 4 to "double digits" requires a 2.5X increase. "Double digits to triple digits" would require a further 10X increase.

   To add to that, hiring is very slow at Google right now. Kudos on getting an offer (even if you're not going to take it).

   > PS this story doesn't make sense because you can tell when a voltmeter is out of range. It's also a bit sloppy with the bounds. To me, "reads only as far as 100" includes 100V, whereas the measured voltages only go

   To help future readers, would you mind rephrasing the title for clarity? I found it quite impenetrable. Perhaps "...Apple's Find My app..." would make it clearer what the post is about. And, while you're at it, also the

    There's existing literature on using fMRI on patients with a coma to detect conscious awareness. Here is one example (that references further papers): https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2019.0

    I do wonder whether it's even possible to substantiate longevity claims of this sort, or whether it's purely an exercise in "here's a number that would look impressive on our sales materials".

    I didn't know what an M Disc was and had to look it up. It's archival-grade DVD/Blu-ray tech that's claimed to last 1000 years if properly stored. (Thought I'd save some of you a google search.)

    I built a thing that integrates with my ISP's TV API and makes it look to Plex like an HDHomeRun tuner. It also generates XMLTV EPG (again, based on my ISP's data) so that I don't have to faff around with third-party EPG pro

    Is there DVR support and, if there is, how does it compare to Plex? For Plex, I built a thing that exposes my ISP's multicast TV as an HDHomeRun-compatible tuner, with EPG. This works fairly well. The main thing that's missing in

    For me, the main thing that's lacking in Plex is good support for audiobooks. The storage and metadata backend are good, but I'm on Android and just couldn't find a good app that would: 1. work with Plex 2. play books both on

    You can disable Online Media Sources in the settings and unpin any section you're not interested in from the main menu. I've done this and the only things that I see in my Plex app are locally-stored contents and my TV channels (d

    I agree, that's very counterintuitive. You'd think the economics would generally be in London's favour, given the high population density. (Though digging up the streets might be harder and therefore more expensive?)

    Respectfully, I find the 70% figure for access to a gigabit line extremely hard to believe. When I lived in central London (tube zone 2), all that was available at my address was a wet-noodle quality 20 Mbps DSL connection. No BT FTTP, n

    Lucky you. Here in Switzerland mediamarkt lists there "OK" TVs and all three are smart. :( (I'm in the market for a dumb TV and am not having much joy.)

    My TV (TCL) also switches to the last input, but it first has to boot into Android, which takes some time. :( (I know I could leave the TV on standby but I don't like doing that, especially just to work around poorly designed software.
