I assume it requires something hosted, and can't be open sourced due to licensing restrictions*. Hopefully it can be reverse engineered. *I've heard from firmware engineers inside and outside of Google that licensing is the bigge

Yes, although that's a MacOS restriction, and MST is already used in MacOS to carry multiple streams to a single high-resolution monitor. And as Asahi Linux keeps getting more usable, I hope it can be a viable alternative, so Apple&#x

Not to mention DisplayLink can be broken by MacOS updates. Tunneling video over USB was a clever hack back in the day, but with USB-C and TB3/USB4 docks, things are much less software-dependent.

There's a beta feature to exactly cut, and re-encode just the affected "block".

This phone has been out since Spring 2022. Any reason for the post? If we want to talk about the utility of a thermal camera, I found it neat. I used a $150 Seek camera to diagnose poor insulation in my bedroom, and one contractor even of

In addition to public computers and physical offices, smartphones are owned by a large portion of homeless people (especially if younger) because they're quite affordable. It looks like a basic Estonian phone plan, plus financing for

Maybe it will get resolved in their monolithic mobile CPUs, then carried over to the next generation. It's like how Zen 4's IO die was ported from Ryzen Mobile 6000 (which also made it easier for them to toss in integrated graphi

I don't recall them advertising Thunderbolt compatibility, it was always an unadvertised feature. The blog post made it clear they're shipping all the Thunderbolt firmware improvements to the 11th gen as well, it's just minor

I think it's processing power and engineering effort. I got a Sony RX100M2 for my mom and it has the same computational photography techniques that Google released the following year ( https://ai.googleblog.com/2014&#x2

I'm assuming they meant "extendable". In which case the longest MAX model already did this, but it was avoided by other models due to engineering cost. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/71500

But in this case the "new thing" is a warning system that is found in almost all modern planes. It's not new to Boeing or its pilots, is an industry standard, and doesn't require novel engineering practices. It sounds

A lot of cars completely disable the modem when service expires (which makes sense since they don't want to pay $5/month to keep it active) which makes your car harder to exploit. But if you want more assurance, it takes less tha

Are there reasons that the "Simple Tab Groups" extension isn't suitable for you? It seems to be well-maintained, cleverly uses Firefox's "hide tabs" API to keep a single window behind-the-scenes, and has integ

Interesting. Since AirTags use standard CR2032 batteries, that means you could swap in an alkaline-based battery and avoid that regulation.

Framework is just making a laptop that is both repairable and modular. These just happen to be use cases for it. I find business laptops like Thinkpads "repairable enough" and am okay with the upsides and downsides of a fixed se

It seems that the NAND doesn't need much space, but the support components do. https://guides.frame.work/Guide/1TB+Expansion+Card+Throttlin...

Then the Framework just isn't for you. The Framework was designed to be a portable laptop that is also modular and repairable. Apple's design philosophy seems to most closely match yours - only USB-C ports with separate dongles.

by andrewia 4y ago
There has always been a trade-off between modularity and size. Each card is effectively a USB-C/Thunderbolt dongle, so they need to be big enough to fit a reasonable amount of electronics (like 1TB of NAND, or an Ethernet IC) plus the

Most of the chips I've seen are guilty of this, from Trader Joe's to the popular Veggie Straws. They're essentially baked/popped chips with no extra nutritional content. "Veggie" is definitely deceptional to

Of course I could eventually come to my own realization without TikTok. But TikTok accelerated this by about 3 years in my estimate. That is an immense amount of time and energy saved. I will explain how TikTok's dynamics differs fr

I disagree. There is lots of useful information around the internet that is hard to find. A lot of content simply doesn't have the keywords it needs to be discovered. For example, somebody could search for "best rewards credit c

I've found it to be 50-50 or less in my recent experience, but there's an interesting reason why. I recently shopped for a fidget ring and found AliExpress had lots of options, but none that fit my size 14 fingers. So I checked

This has become the norm. I am a TikTok user* and there's a lot of ads and organic posts about "innovative new products" that are exposed as dropshipped items from a warehouse in China. And you may have seen "get rich

I have become an AliExpress enthusiast and agree. It works best when you are willing to wait a variable amount of time for your items. Often, it will only take 2-3 weeks for them to arrive at my home in California. But every 6th package

They are battery powered. The battery lasts a few years, and conserves charge by only reporting pressure every minute after motion is detected.

This is a really interesting article. One question answered for the author: I believe TPMS sensors have an RFID-style mode, so that handheld programmers can access them without waiting for the slow reporting period. I have experience with

It seems unlikely that HP will add DRM after the fact. Even if the printer has the hardware capability to enforce DRM, it isn't upon release, so you could simply keep it VLAN-ed off of the internet so it can't update its firmware

Looking at the manual, the toner refill kit is entirely passive and has no electrical contacts or other authentication. That's just verbage to scare you into buying their refill kit instead of the inevitable generic version.
