Maybe, but I tend to doubt that. If they are really anticipating more layoffs I would expect them to structure this severance to encourage more people to leave on their own, not stick around in hopes of a good package.

The severance terms seem to be very generous, that is encouraging to see.

The first beta for the Android 13 quarterly release includes a new “clear calling” feature that “reduces background noises during calls.” That's neat, but background noise is not the issue as much as laggy over-compressed audio. Redu

While most communications technology has improved over the last quarter century in terms of throughput, latency, cost, etc., voice calls have become horrid. Every aspect of telephone calls has become a total nightmare. Constant spam calls,

The overly simplified explanation is that the AI models see patterns in the training data that we do not. Feed a system a series of pictures of stop signs, and humans might key on things like the red color, or the shape, or even the word &q

It really depends heavily on the products and industries or verticals they serve. Also, it may depend on their exact GTM strategy, companies that sell primarily through a VAR type of channel are usually more hesitant to disclose pricing, a

Far more important is to know the salary target that you are aiming for. I think people would be more willing to accept this if the application process was not such a complete cluster fuck 99% of the time. So many sites want you to uploa

While I doubt any statistically significant number of people browse the web with a mindset of "I really hope I see some great ads today", I also doubt that most people "don't like websites with ads". IMO, what most

At this point I’m over wired headphones. I carry a couple of pairs in my backpack for use on airplane seat back entertainment systems, but otherwise I prefer Bluetooth earbuds.

They appear to be using a somewhat costly handheld thermal camera, which likely has a FLIR Boson or equivalent sensor. Those are pretty bulky and expensive, making it hard to use this attack without hanging out near the keyboard/keypad

I think I may have been the first unofficial Thinkpad laptop repair person. When the Thinkpad 700 came out, I was working for IBM managing the PC side of a regional repair center in SE Michigan. About a month or so before their official rel

Streaming video is fairly power intensive, the typical battery powered camera could not sustain more than a few hours of streaming without resorting to a prohibitively large battery pack.

"Shell out for Hikvision"? Hikvision has generally been low cost equipment with decent performance. The main issue with Hikvision is that they are funded and controlled by the Chinese government, and have had countless major vulne

IMO, it's not worth over thinking. The rates are very good, but you are limited to a relatively small amount of money. My wife and I both bought an I bond at the recent rates. If we're lucky, we'll make about $1,000 each on t

My wife and I both bought I Bonds directly. It was not exactly a painful or confusing process at all. Granted, the UI/UX of the US government bonds website was not fantastic, but it was certainly usable.

Not large, but they do often have some kind of battery.

It is surprisingly not. I travel frequently with random ESP32 projects in various stages of looking highly suspicious and never get hassled about them. 4oz of an unfinished bottle of water though is absolutely not getting through security.

But at the same time, politicians using social media to continuously publish blatant lies is also not a mechanism for stable government. In the past, this was regulated to a large degree by traditional media outlets being a filter of sorts

This seems to be centered on politics/candidates, which IMO is the wrong motivation. Politicians really should not have special exemptions or privileges when it comes to free speech issues. Eg: they have exceptions to use robo-calls, t
