Yes, but what's also interesting is other large IPv4 block holders who aren't governments. Will large public companies start selling off their address space to pad profits in order to appease/please shareholders?

I've not seen in any news reports, nor does this BBC article mention, if the deterioration noted by the previous engineering reports were actually in the part of the building which collapsed or not. If anyone can point to a diagram or

I've read that some companies require inspections of home offices in order to comply with insurance rules, especially around workers compensation. As if you get hurt "on the job" but the job happens in the employee's ow

The paper linked in the ARS article ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3445814.3446723 ) seems to be how they developed it. I find it interesting that they went from C++ to hardware in order to optimize the

You should still change the brake fluid every few years. I don't know what Tesla recommends but most car manufacturers recommend brake fluid flushes every 2-5 years (the Germans generally recommend 2 year intervals, GM generally recom

I've used Linux mostly on IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes. Overall I've had great success. Drivers work, suspend and hibernation work, plugging in monitors just works, wifi works, and battery life is decent enough.

It'd be interesting to see Texas tax deployments of wind and solar within the state but incentivize manufacturing of wind and solar. If oil and gas exports from Texas are going to decline in coming years, having wind and solar exports

That's a very security minded methodology. But I cannot comfortably afford to throw away a phone which is under warranty when it has a hardware issue. The Apple store employee made sure to show me they were executing the erase of my p

I had the secure enclave in my iPhone 8 fail about 6 months after I bought it. Solution was to spend about half an hour on the phone with Apple while they ran remote diagnostics and then take it to an Apple store 30 minutes drive away. 10

In an ideal world, I agree with you. But if you ever try to make a mass market USB device you will quickly learn that the computers which your customers will connect your device to and the cables which your customers will use will greatly

If you want to "build your own" and don't mind some hands-on fun, I strongly suggest looking at using a PC Engines APU2 board and using the Linux distribution of your choice on it (and yes, OpenWRT works fine on them). https

Yes. The interference from USB 3 connections comes due to the 5Gb/s data rate of the super speed transceivers causing interference with 2.4GHz band radio devices. If you downgrade to a USB 2.0 connection you effectively are disabling

In my experience, USB connected products are EMI tested only with the cable shipped with the product in the box and used per the product instructions or in a "typical" use. Quite a decent amount of effort and cost is spent for so

Being an outsider to the EU (I'm in the US) it seems like there's a *LOT* more drama around vaccine manufacturing and distribution in Europe than in many other places.

Another comment indicates that AstraZeneca didn't apply for approval for the Netherlands plant until very very recently. OK, so pointing blame at them seems fair then.

by bradfa 6y ago
So the EU hasn't allowed any of the doses manufactured at the Netherlands plant to be used but the plant was producing doses on schedule with the previously stated goals, and even possibly met the first quarter goals, and now AstraZene

Yeah, and I'd like to see a scientific study about this to show how it works and so people can understand it. A significant amount of money is spent on clearing and treating roads during wintry weather, I think it would be very benefi

Living in upstate NY, it's rare to see cars more than 15 years old on the road. Metal cars rot out from corrosion to the point where they're not worth fixing after a little over a decade. For example, I used to own a 2005 VW Jet

I've never found vendor provided OE BSP layers to be easy to use or useful beyond initial proof-of-concept type work. In general, hardware vendor provided software has sucked greatly in my experience. Taking the vendor provided thing

It'd be interesting to see a comparison between the various ways roads can be made safer for driving in wintry conditions. Plowing is clearly important, but putting down salt vs sand and gravel vs beat juice vs other solutions. I want

Coming from spending a lot of time working in OpenEmbedded build systems to now trying to work in buildroot has been quite painful and annoying for me. Buildroot lacks a LOT of the features and capabilities which OE and bitbake offer. Po

I played ice hockey goalie growing up, in high school, intramurals in college, and then men's league for a while. The game definitely changed over the course of me playing it. I started playing goalie around 1991 and fondly remember

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. Making a wifi adapter out of a software defined radio is going to be a less than ideal way to enable wifi to a product. The power consumption will be tremendously higher than a dedicated device. The co

This would be a horrible way to make a product which isn't a piece of test equipment. The power consumption and manufacturing cost is orders of magnitude higher than a specific purpose device.

I've never had this problem with Beagle Boards and sources. Sure the kernel or u-boot that ship with them might be slightly older but sources have always been available. And TI are quite decent at contributing to the upstream kernel a

Yeah, I was also hoping to buy a vehicle in 2020 but ended up holding off due to not driving nearly as much now and due to the prices going up. I was hoping prices would come back down in 2021 but we shall see...
