Depending on the local rules you may not be able to get a certificate of occupancy without a functional kitchen. That would be a reason the builder must install a stove. Wouldn’t have to be THIS stove but there may need to be A stove in ord

The ECC and anything to do with multi or triple level cell flashes is quite non-trivial. You don’t want to have to think about these things if you don’t have to. But yes, better control over the flash controllers would be nice. There are al

On the Android side, Samsung Xcover Pro, Fairphone 4, and Google Pixel 6 all promise 5 years of security updates. Apple has a track record of supporting their phones with 5 to 7 years of security updates after launch. Sure, some past phone

I don't think I've ever been paid more or hired directly due to my networking skills, but I think it has greatly helped me to be good at my jobs and get recognition from my peers and managers that either my existing knowledge or m

I think maybe your and my experiences have been very different. I think in some software industries networking expertise is not highly valued or important, but in all of the jobs I've had, actually understanding networking has been a

I second this, and also look into activity-based clubs (sports, crafts, hobby-interests, drama, music, etc) that your school (or the town/city) might offer. These can be a great way to meet new people outside of your line of study and

The octane rating of fuels in the USA is fairly standardized, a majority of gasoline cars require a minimum of 87 octane (on the US measurement system) and some even require or recommend a minimum of 91 octane. These requirements are usual

GM only sold a handful of EVs in the 4th quarter of 2021, I'll give you that. But in previous quarters they sold quite a lot more EVs than they did in the 4th quarter. This dismal 4th quarter EV sales statistic was partly due to suppl

Possibly the reason I don't see Tesla as a services or software company is because I have very little faith that level 5 autonomous driving is going to be a thing in the near future. I could be very wrong, and if Tesla's existing

I've invested in GM and avoided investing in Tesla. Mostly just because I understand GM, their business and financials and stock price history makes sense to me. I do not understand the valuations on Tesla, and hadn't even long

As a human, I had a hard time seeing the green pylons when watching the video. Local to me pylons are always bright orange and easy to see. My brain is not looking for dark colored narrow barriers so it doesn’t surprise me that FSD doesn’t

I’ve been biking for over 30 years. I’ve broken a helmet in a fall. I know how to fall. ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET! It very well may save your life. Many crashes happen much too fast for you to react to. It’s like a seatbelt or airbag in a car.

It's a similar mission to Fairphone. I imagine as soon as you try to do any one of these things in your product design (repair, upgrade, customize, sourcing, etc) then you get into suppliers, supply chains, and price points where doin

I second this, it's been my experience at smaller companies, too. If you can find a smaller recruiter company, generally they have seemed to perform better than the larger name-brand recruiter companies in my experience. At least in t

Sure, but Google has all the source code and all the design files for their Pixel phones. I'm not saying Google needs to support ALL Android devices, just Pixel devices. It is definitely possible for them to support Pixel phones for

Unfortunately, it seems that modern "dumb" (or feature) phones now are being required (or only) to support LTE and their stand-by battery life has declined quite dramatically. Many now seem to advertise battery life of quite a bi

I think the common knowledge that most servers can't saturate a 10Gb Ethernet link is no longer true. In my experience even saturating 25Gb links is rather easy to do when using 9000 byte MTU on mid-tier server hardware. 100Gb links d
