I didn't even know you could install apps onto a Chromecast. I'm not sure why you'd need to though, because phone apps can "cast" to it.

Yep! Xbox One was their generation parallel to the Playstation 4, and Xbox Series is their current generation parallel to the Playstation 5. All the X and S after those are tier differentiators. They really need someone better naming their

The naming scheme is pretty simple, just bad. The new generation is "Series", with the X being more powerful than the S. So the Xbox Series X is the best model, and the Xbox Series S is the same generation, but less powerful. It&#

I expect the same has happened with a lot of people here too. I know that I've been able to piece together pretty complicated situations from very limited evidence, amazing the junior devs on the team. I also think this XKCD is relevan

Yeah, this is the more salient detail. I would consider (something equivalent to) what Amazon envisions if it was products from my local grocery store, at the prices of that specific store. But Amazon? I can't trust they'll be any

That theorized island is centered around elements we've already discovered though, being in the range of ~110 protons. So element 120, being discussed, is already well past that point.

As a fun example of "depends on the container format", one trick people used to use for sharing files on image boards (4chan and the like) was to concatenate a rar file and jpg file. I don't remember which order it was, but o

I'm not using liability in the accounting context, but in the colloquial one. > a person or thing whose presence or behavior is likely to cause embarrassment or put one at a disadvantage. Code is absolutely a liability. Code deter

Code being a liability is not a contradiction with code being what makes a company move its gears. The trucks of a delivery service are a liability (requiring maintenance, deprecation accounting, fuel), but are also the only thing that lets

Seems the answer is yes, but only if you do the unlock very quickly after death. The reason seems to be what you suspected, that the fingerprint sensors require capacitance which is only maintained while we're alive. https:/&#x2F

And for size reference, 1g is pretty close to the weight of a single M&M. My homemade caramels, which I consider to be plenty strong, are definitely weaker than .3%, judging by the effects.

That isn't an inevitability. The modem doesn't negatively affect the lenses and sensors, choices by people in companies are what result in worse sensors/lenses in phones.

If you aren't opposed to Google, "Keep" seems to be fairly well suited for this kind of thing. You can share to it easily on android, it supports a bunch of organizational things (labels, colors, archiving) but they're n

I was at Amazon in a Kindle adjacent team (the lockscreen ads) starting in 2012, and I can second this sentiment. For the first couple years, there were multiple tweaks made to minimize enormous roaming bills for customers taking their US r

Historically speaking, the alternative to time zones is not one unified time, it's thousands or millions of time bubbles for each town's solar noon.

Charge at home. Not everyone can, but a lot of people can. You aren't driving 24/7. Here's an example: Wyoming seems to have the highest average miles/year at around 25k, and charging overnight, even just at 120V, woul

Time zones are totally fine. They're unreasonably hard to do math with (ahead/behind +/- just refuses to stick in my brain), but they massively simplify life most of time they come up. The thing that's a curse on humanit
