The majority of EAS equipment responds this way. That's why the tones are so strictly regulated on broadcasts. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-19-758A1.pdf

> Total or free? Total. You can change the default to any % or GiB, but I couldn't figure out how to apply that to /etc/tmpfiles.d, had to switch to fstab.

Thanks for the explanation on CUDIMM, I never quite grokked the difference besides it being more stable with two sticks per channel. Hopefully they'll make an ECC CUDIMM at some point, but I'm not holding my breath.

Their second point is wrong (unless the silicon is buggy), but their first point is true. I researched when buying ECC sticks for my rig; nobody that I've found makes unregistered sticks that go above 5600, while some non-ECC sticks ar

Not great, but a bit better than FS-UAE. Amiberry has a much more logical UX, though it's still a bit cluttered.

I personally use Claws Mail with plugins, but OAuth2 is laborious to setup. Works though.

If you want to experience it again, they re-released the final version awhile back; they've got emulators for both the mainframe and terminals. https://codex.retro1.org/plato:operation.r1:installing

Not just an inferred point, it's been explicitly stated before. In the longer form interviews (can't find everything in full at the moment), the context is the news media in particular, but it applies to the general public as well

Amazing that they're able to make progress with such little public documentation.

I didn't intend to sound crunchy like that. College for practical means has long been the norm in the US vs. elsewhere, going back to agricultural schools in the 18th and 19th centuries. There is nothing wrong with that; what is NOT go

That's the exact problem though. Companies have been outsourcing training to colleges for decades now, further and further reducing available career paths as mentioned and causing degree inflation, higher education costs for everybody,

I agree it's 99% ridiculous, but to play the devil's advocate: modifications could require re-certifying the transmitter due to regulations, which might make them not financially worth it after the remaining correct tubes die. Esp

Full verticals, dipoles, Yagis or logs, yes. Marconi T or L antennas with capacitance hats and loading coils are well within amateur practice on 630m[1] and 2200m, and common from 40m/7MHz on down. Not very efficient still; an ERP of 1

I sincerely hope that if the remaining stations shut down, the band will become an amateur band. Existing 2200m and 630m are narrow, so allocating this entire range is something of a pipe dream, but it would be the best outcome. (Not sure h

I can think of at least a few: 1.) Cost (mostly in the labor rather than materials, and because of less standardization probably) 2.) [1]Earthquakes. Unless you do extra steps (which add more cost), it's much likelier to collapse in an

Part of that high margin is because emissions and fuel economy laws are looser for truck-like vehicles, so they make everything a truck-like vehicle to avoid having to comply.

Most of the stats come from media outlets reporting on singular cases, and most of the articles on the subject are op-eds rather than scientific studies. It does seem to be more common, but overall data is unfortunately very hard to come by

I hope not to seem combative, but I'll weigh against your view. Life hasn't "adopted" anything. It's like when people say evolution "chose" an advantageous trait, when in reality it's just a consequen
