The Raspberry Pi 4 could do a single monitor at 4K/60Hz. The overall performance still wasn't great.

The new board supports more power hungry IO. If you want to use all of the IO available and push the new SoC then you're going to need a beefier power supply.

I'd really like to see BOOX focus on having a smaller range of devices that are supported with updates for longer. They just have so many devices in their range.

On a global scale, the Democrats in the US are extremely conservative. "There are two major parties in America - a conservative party, and a very conservative party".

I imagine Netflix was less innocent than you might think. As they could only send out DVDs they have in stock, they were more likely to recommend things that they had a surplus of. While the list model did allow for even popular titles to b

It's such an odd thing to read. Feels like satire at points throughout the homepage, and then entirely serious at others. Edit: I see that it is satire! Looking closely at some of the other pages on the site this becomes clearer.

The UK government has become rather obsessed with attendance levels. It's one of the things schools are scored on in government ratings. They don't really look at why kids are off school, just that they are. A child that falls int

Really bad timing for me. I just locked in a year of the Ultimate plan - three days ago! I only did that for the unlimited searches! I don't feel like I'm a heavy user, but after nearly 4 days of usage, seems like I typically do ~

All major political parties support it. Many of the newspapers have campaigned in support of it. Various major charities have campaigned in support of it. Polls show the bill has high public support. That leaves very little room for reasone

Apple makes no claims about how long devices are supported for. Some devices get more than others.

A lot of people resent how sneaky shrinkflation feels. Manufacturers would gladly boast about increasing the size of their product if they did so, but do everything they can to hide when they've shrunk it. Manipulative tricks like oddl

Unity has a lot of experience and marketshare in VR/AR. Something like 85% of VR games/apps are made in Unity.

Yes, and some carriers do. Some will have a list of "supported devices", and if you try to use anything not on the list it'll be blocked. This isn't legal in some countries though. The UK telecoms regulator (Ofcom) prohi

It's quite common in the UK for washers/dryers to have a delay feature. Mine (an LG model) has a "Delay End" function, where you say "I want the cycle to end in 9 hours", and it calculates when to start based o

It's sort of a physical impossibility. If your kettle is limited to 1500W, it's always going to be slower than a kettle operating at 3000W.

Seems like a non-story. This is obviously by design. Extensions may need to access the DOM, including password and other sensitive fields (e.g. for autofill and password managers). That's indeed what Google has said in response: >A

You can't uninstall most Google apps on a Pixel phone. Google Maps and Google Drive can't be uninstalled, for example. You can disable them - this stops the app running and will remove its icon, but it'll still use space. Som
