FTFA: "Data on commercial cameras available at the time suggest that it is likely to be a Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) model containing a 6–134 mm varifocal lens able to film at 4K or 8 megapixel resolution." This is so wildly inaccu

FWIW, I am living testament to the fact that they weren't that wrong, at least not to a "blow yourself up" extreme.

I have an LG TV (bedroom), one of the higher end Sony's (main TV), and the Sony is much better, IMO. The LG is constantly nagging for software upgrades, and once there is an available option it puts up a nag screen EVERY time you turn

Some of them do have vents in the lid, which works for personal carry-home in your car. But for delivery, the driver usually has 3 or 4 pies at a minimum, in an insulated bag, so nowhere for the steam to go. The obvious solution is a pizza

Actually, Verizon is AT&T. My current Verizon account is an AT&T account I activated in ~1994. Cell phones were a division of AT&Ts overall business and then at some point they spun that out into Verizon. And then later they go

No, you'd don't need net metering to make it viable. In a typical grid-tied system, the setup is such that any demand is fulfilled first by solar capacity, and second from the grid. If your array can fulfill 100% (or more) of you

Most net metering does have a base connection charge. Mine is ~$35/mo, even when I have produced more energy in a month than we consumed, my bill was still about $40 after base fees and taxes/etc.

I agree it would be an admission of failure. But so would trying to compete with AWS, IMO. So if they are so out of ideas that they theoretically need to get into that business then doing in in stages would look less bad. At least that is m

All things considered, I do not see why they couldn't. Much like when Amazon first got into that business, it would likely require them to make some infrastructure changes, hire some people, etc. But there is no logical reason why the

I'm not saying we should ignore wage theft. I am saying it is a scenario where a police force cannot really do much. You can call your local PD and report shoplifting, or most other kinds of physical theft. It would be a pretty clear a

Property theft and wage theft are two very different categories of theft. The average police department does not get involved in wage theft, which would be something more involving lawyers, maybe ultimately leading to an arrest warrant carr

All the crypto mining dying off should free up a lot of grid resources for EVs. I've heard the "grid can't handle all EVs" statement, but have not seen anything backing up the claim. I believe the grid can in fact hand

This is roughly my recollection as well. Along with another comment above about lack of apps for Novell. Every small business was going to be running Windows already, so an NT server was kind of a logical conclusion. Couple that with the f

On a basic technical level, it would be not difficult at all. IMO the challenge would be in getting enough critical mass to make the manufacturing cost effective, and getting enough people to reasonably believe there would be future support

There are a relatively limited number of PoE ESP32 options. The Olimax unit seems to be workable with WS2812 style strips, possibly with a little bit of hacking.

Or you could just be ‘friends’ or whatever on social media with people you’ve actually met in person. This could be great for killing the whole ‘influencer’ economy and people posturing online for someone they’ve never met.
