A way to connect your phone (any phone) to the camera with some kind of sync app seems like it'd be way better than putting all of freakin' Android on the camera. Phone makers can't even keep that updated and secure, plus bat

There's a distinct lack of Javascript, few (no?) images, and the CSS seems very light. That'll get you a long way right there. [EDIT] for a similar "oh, I forgot the web could be this fast when we don't pile a ton of shi

I'd settle for an restricted subset of HTML only as a light standard. Tables and bold and h-tags and stuff are fine, it's CSS and Javascript that slow everything down for (on ordinary pages) basically no benefit. Reserve boxes f

Is that the one that's only $37 on the Intel site? 2015 model, 1.33Ghz Atom? If so, damn, I made a mistake. I didn't know there were any x86 devices that cheap that'd handle 1080p h.265.

It never even occurred to me to look up 99% of the useless facts I now can't help but look up on the Internet. The questions slipped out of my mind before they were fully formed, but now I think "who was that one guy in that one s

Kodi's pretty OK. Runs well on a FireTV if you want a cheap device that supports h.265 at 1080p. Interface still kinda terrible, but better with a real remote. Can use phone to control it if you want, though less convenient to do that

(Belief in) cultural superiority as racism, then? OK. I'd be (genuinely) curious to see what form Klingon-hating in the show could have taken that would have been similar in form but different enough that the writer'd not have lab

A nod-ignore-and-keep-reading Lit Crit academese filler thing, then? I guess it stood out to me because the review doesn't have much of that, otherwise, and because the paragraph it's in seemed to be making some kind of point, t

Yeah, but then no "built-in battery backup", which is part of claimed benefit of buying a used $200 laptop over rooting a $150 chromebox or $200-300 cheap PC.

Laptops run 24/7 are (I would think) more likely than desktops to develop heat and wear related hardware faults, and I'd consider anything with a Lithium Ion battery plugged into power all the time in (presumably) a closet or othe

If we must use that analogy, it's more like they answer "yes!" to "are they free?" but then a stalker follows you with binoculars, a camera, and a notebook for months because you took the cupcake, and if you show up

I think anyone who’s Ubered much (or driven much, for that matter) can tell you GPS is not nearly as good as knowing the streets. It may be good enough that it’ll take over, but it’s still a lot worse.

I was entirely happy with alsa and still don't know of any use-case I have that's better served by the more fragile, more resource-hungry PulseAudio. I assume it's useful to someone.
