What are the specifics? What kind of devices do you have to support, what kind of network? What kind of media? If Netflix is too hard, then my goto Plex, wouldn't be much easier. Before they added all their cruft, it was by far the eas

Will this be the release where they fix memory management/multitasking that forces me to restart my iPad at least once a week due to apps and safari crashing? My money is on no, as this has been the new normal since the release of iOS

I still use Facebook on iOS only through the browser. Have a little shortcut in my Home Screen and it takes me straight there.

I haven’t had a job do any sort of training in… 20+ years. But then I’ve had some odd luck/experiences at every job I’ve had, except my first one. That first job was when I was 14 and was mowing yards with my neighbor who was a grad st

I've worked with similar microscopes. One of them, worked perfectly fine for the tasks it was assigned to, but the software would only work up to Windows XP. To make matters worse, the whole system was hostile to any changes or updates

The far right will use this as a reason to curtail research. Maybe just curtail "dangerous" research at first. Then whatever other research they can convince their followers is also dangerous.

If your pursuing a misinformation campaign it does make since to occasionally publish some facts. That way people can wring their hands if they should ban you or not, and so your supporters have something to say that you were right about.

I find hiding all of these articles behind a walled garden a little distasteful. I remember the times when I couldn't have afforded access to such information. Back then, this kind of stuff would have been published in a magazine, and

Sure, but it's important to recognize that science is dangerous and slip-ups do happen. That is why research has rigorous safety precautions and procedures.

This Lab-Leak Theory should have been killed in the cradle. This idle speculation about the origin theory of Covid19 only goes to fuel the machinations of conservative think tanks and does nothing to further science. As a scientist, I would

For me the biggest appeal is you could convert a petrol powered car to run off of hydrogen. While they are not as efficient as fuel cell, running a regular engine off of hydrogen would allow us to create demand for fueling stations faster t

I've always hoped hydrogen would have taken off. Since you can convert gas engines to run off of hydrogen it would be easier to move the market to hydrogen than electric. Allowing us to build out the infrastructure first, then transiti

I should have chosen my words more carefully, but the blobs with ads will have some sort of DRM on them, which is technically illegal to decrypt and cut out.

It will be like cutting out the ads in a newspaper. Lots of holes, everywhere.

Pi-hole wont protect you here, they will send the entire page, ads and all as an encrypted binary blob. Decrypting it is illegal, and since the data is coming from a single source Pi-hole can't block it. Pi-hole (and ad-blocking) days

The decision on the ethics of this experiment isn't up to us, nor was it up to the researchers. It should have been left to an IRB for an approval, which most likely wouldn't have approved of this research in its current state. Th

This misunderstanding of what is ethics is exactly why we need to be teaching it. Ethics is not about the moral compass of an individual, but it is about the moral obligations of the professional community as a whole. What is and isn't

If anything, this whole case underscores the fact that Engineering and Computer Science schools/colleges need to be teaching ethics as a core part of their curriculum. It is appalling to my partner, a phd in bio research, that even as

How far back do you sit from this monitor? Do you use resolution scaling? The last time I tried a large format display, I couldn't move back far enough to make it work but I really loved working in 4k without scaling.
