The main issue is not having a normal watch that is not a bunch of pixels. I love my G-shock and Seiko mechanical watch and as a bonus they are far better at telling the time.

The single-threaded nature of WPA2 AES-CCMP-128 is the reason (in addition to not wanting to embed known weak security protocols). The higher speeds and later standardization of Wi-Fi 6E (as compared to Wi-Fi 6) made this, in my opinion, a

Dumb spec? There are fundamental limits in this world. Some things are simply mutually exclusive. A dump spec IMO would be a spec that does not acknowledge this.

It seems that in this case the performance per watt is essentially the same. There is no point in rushing to sleep if perf per watt is constant, you will only end up giving the chip a higher amperage and loosing even more to heat in the pow

There are companies in Europe that are older than the US. I do sincerely think that “long term” is a viable time frame when talking about European companies. When companies grow too large the often fold. So size is not a good measure of lon
