Yes of course, but I hope this is part of the plan. Too often new technologies seem to leave some people apart, because the deciders don't think (or don't want to think) about those who don't want to (or can't) embrace a

Depends where, though. Here in Switzerland I think that only one of the three main mobile operators (Swisscom) has IPv6 on their networks (and it's a 2024 thing, so not even sure it's already reaching all customers).

No, the precursors are QL and sulfur. According to Wikipedia, QL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QL_(chemical) ) has a strong fishy smell.

If you are designing an ASIC for the camera, you can include all the required logic gates to control the LED for a cost that is close to zero. It wouldn't impact the production cost of the ASIC, whereas a capacitor is an additional ite

Depends on how much hair the man still have... some will definitely not do it in 2 minutes. And most women I know don't need 15 minutes to wash their hair.

Did anybody else first think —before seeing the app images— that it was somehow using the camera of the iPhone to simulate the physics of the black hole?

A small thing that might be useful: allow users to get a regular phone number to call. Most users probably won't need it, some will, and when they need it and there's no number, it's extremely frustrating for the (potential o

They are not only for that. The documentation says: Typically but not always, the process with address space that is being written to is being debugged. I don't really see why you'd need admin rights to do so. As far as t

If the Windows API provides those functions in the first point, I guess there are good reasons to use them. Of course if you're watching out for malware, WriteProcessMemory looks very suspicious, but it's not enough to conclude yo

Same here but I had the opposite impression: VS was so laggy it was unusable. Maybe it was trying to analyze something in the file? Not sure. NPP opened the file without issued and I could actually work with it.

I mainly remember (mostly) not wanting to install it because of the so many weird things it does, or rather it did when I last used it more than a decade ago (including strange NTFS ACLs to emulate POSIX permissions).

If I remember correctly, the blue text-mode part of the setup can be launched from DOS 7.1 (the DOS part of Windows 98, with FAT32 support) by copying the i386 directory from the CD to the FAT32-formatted hard drive and running WINNT.EXE fr

It's optional and very easy to skip. Not like the requirement for a MS account on Windows 11, which is also skippable but not by the average user.

Netflow data or equivalent? I'd assume any provider to have such records, at least in the short term. It can also be invaluable in debugging network problems post-hoc.

Except for the switching power supply, where you have capacitors charged at (rectified) mains voltage so around 155 or 325 volts depending on where you are. They should discharge relatively quickly, but they might be dangerous for a few min

I totally agree that this is very heavy compared to the original player, but that's probably not the point... maybe it's just for fun... ;-)
