This is the problem I had. I cracked my Logitech mouse open and just snipped the LEDs out in the end.

I think at this point my hypothesis is definitely erring towards them being hopeless goons.

I agree. It looks tacky, cheap, unprofessional and distasteful. Not only that half the RGB keyboards fuck out fairly quickly or have power and USB problems. Electric truck nuts. That's all it is.

I completely agree with all of this in every way having written a hell of a lot of front end code over the last 25 years. Apart from the WASM bit. As a somewhat extremist on this front, I'd rather "the web" was still Gopher t

At this point, after dealing with AWS and Azure for the last decade, I concur. We had lower TCO, higher aggregate reliability, lower staffing costs and importantly far far fewer problems when we had two redundant datacentre cages. I think o

So the root cause is incompetence. They didn't have enough people and they didn't have a fully tested recovery plan, relying on assumptions and winging it.

Oscilloscopes measure current too. Differential measurement across a resistor (channel b subtracted from channel a) will result in a current measurement. Also current probes do exist - I own two.

They were always a terrible deal for schools. They were just a less terrible deal that the original status quo, at least here in the UK, of overpriced education supplier sourced PCs and unnecessary use of VMware. Surely we can do better tha

Lucene uses a somewhat unreliable storage back end and needs to be rebuilt regularly.

Keeping postgres alive is considerably less work than keeping anything Lucene based alive.

Literally the main reasons for the push for self-driving cars are to drive operating costs down for private taxi services by removing humans and to have a marketable feature that can be upsold on luxury vehicles. These are a net negative fo

Most car sales are second hand and that's a different proposition. However on new cars, £28k for a car with 149 miles range or £20k for a car with 400 mile range that the difference in price buys you 77,000 miles of fuel?

The burden of proof is that something is possible not that it is not impossible. There is no evidence to suggest at this point that it is cost effective, safe or possible.

Of course the position is malleable. The ideal end game would be a constrained system. So I mean if you put the cars on rails and gave them a dedicated space to run in, which would solve most of the determinism problems that'd be good

See now you're getting to the point but the point is that public transport is broken so we're patching it with cars. Perhaps we should be fixing that instead?

All this proves is self-published research works really well for businesses! I've worked for ones that won't publish the bad reports I've written.

This will never work. They are still fucking around changing vehicle configurations, sensor configurations, computers, throwing more compute at it, everything after nearly a decade now. It's a hack job death march, reminiscent of half-

Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!

Even the stupidest meat sack is orders of magnitudes better at driving when the constraint system they are working within is violated.

We're not okay with it. We are however beaten down by every brainwashed fanboy, marketer, investor and news outlet pushing this bubble along to drive some pissy revenue stream though. That includes those of us who worked on safety crit

Yep. My eldest's boyfriend's parents won't buy Apple products because there's a bite out of the Apple. Imagine what FreeBSD would do to them! Edit: I was winding them up the other day about how everything in their house

They only do that if there's sod all else to do that's interesting. Mine get bored with the phone after 30 minutes. The youngest is currently making a necklace, the middle one is reading a book and the eldest is getting drunk with

Got three kids. They all got a smartphone at 11. But a locked down iOS device initially. As trust and responsibility is built they get given more capability. I am 100% against completely banning them from using it as it excludes them from i

Same here. No TV and the site was restricted so I was mashing refresh on Slashdot because it was the only web site that was still working on the only computer that was connected to the Internet in the entire site. Had to email updates aroun

It's nice that Apple have clarified this. I think that the original intent was a misstep and possibly an internal political situation that they had to deal with. I can see that a number of people would be on each side of the debate wit
