Unfortunately, the S2 has very limited 4G (LTE) support, and the 3G networks are being shut down. I believe, based on the supported bands, that it would only work with AT&T. The 1G of RAM is going to make things difficult moving forward

I meant more that every single user of Twitter now gets 10K robot followers. Then we're back to square one (or worse) and it is hard to stand out again. The platform would likely collapse at that point.

Yes... that sort of thing doesn't scale, meaning that a large percentage of the population can follow that advice and positive results. Things like basic hygiene, getting an education, developing good work habits... those things scale,

There is so much mechanical complexity in the existing tiltrotor systems. Especially with the V-22, where each turbine can cross-drive the other rotor.

That really is the basic idea here, except with more redundancy. Pulling the air over the wings and canard generates a lot of lift.

The Lilium plane has 12 sets of 3 electric motors. Each pair of sets is powered by its own battery pack, and each set is individually actuateable. So it basically has 12 control surfaces. Separate aerodynamic controls aren't needed. W

A lot of the Asian MMOs are pay-to-win, and it wouldn't surprise me that more Western game companies are moving in that direction... it is very profitable.

I wish I could upvote this comment more. Yes, this is all fixable... if you are not poor and not rather unlucky. But it will take time and money. Even if you don't lose your job, I'd estimate that it would cost you $20K on the lo

Yep. Business need to take that into account. Considering that they will in general be spending less on office buildings and equipment, it shouldn't be hard to justify enough budget for each home worker's equipment and Internet co

In one of the meetings this week, we were talking about changing how a program works, to allow the user better access to the diagnostics information in the event of a hardware failure. When the program was first designed, the idea was that

Perseverance uses an RTG (radioisotope thermal generator) and does not have solar panels. And, as mentioned, you don't want the helicopter flying anywhere near the rover for fear it would collide and damage the rover. Also, not really

What Ballmer and others missed (or blithely ignored) was the user experience with the iPhone vs other devices back in 2007. I had used various PDAs and mobile phones that had Internet access (of a sort) back then. Generally speaking, they

Asking an interview candidate to solve an actual problem the business is currently facing is shitty, and I wouldn't want to work for them either. Any code problems we present to the interview candidate are _clearly_ made-up examples. T

That may work. Though it will also exclude people that can't afford it. I'm thinking of poor people and children. The kind of people who use computers at the local library, because they can't afford their own device (and more

Yeah, I was surprised that even with Windows 11, we still have some subsystems using the old interface. It is better than it was (Windows 8... having to look in multiple places to change various settings, yuck), but still far from consisten
