Myspace and early Facebook were already a downgrade to classic chatrooms. I met with so many interesting people on chat in the early 2000s and have met with many offline as well. Multiple times I've travelled 6+ hours to participate in

I think the heat dissipation relative to volume of the ISS is way lower than these satellites, yet that already needs sizable thermal radiators to cool: https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/150004 GPUs are also very pow

Totally agree. I always cry on the inside when I see those beautifully designed, symmetrical, detailed sets taken apart and tossed together to form the next ninja castle or whatever, but after all Lego is to be taken apart and my 6-8-9 year

All the big corps I ever worked for had their devices configured to go through the central VPN and proxy even for browsing. But I guess blocking $$$ corporate visitors should be fine by you as well.

The title is misleading. Only the fairly new and surprisingly expensive SMRs were taken into account, the much cheaper traditional nuclear power plants weren't. Which could be fine, but then don't generalise your findings across t

Being target of an investigation can have enormous costs. I've been there several times. I needed to provide ample of documents that took time to assemble and I needed to take part on in person hearings, once in a town 200 km away from

Not reflecting to this particular theory, but in general history is full of theories which were not testable at their birth, but both engineering and the evolution of the theory eventually found a way to do so, even if it took a century. Bl

Happy you. All the 3 ISPs I dealt with in Hungary in the last 10 years provided 0 firewall capability for IPv6 in their integrated router/modem. Once you start assigning the addresses, every compatible IoT gadget you have is reachable

Even when I'm at home with a mouse, I tend to fall back to the trackpoint to adjust sliders or pick colours precisely in Lightroom. Trackpoints on my Thinkpad give superior position control to everything tried from Mac trackpad to digi

I have measured this while being away for a week during winter. While there is ventilation in the building, it's off while noone is at home. Although the scenario in question was for a complete blackout where the ventillation would be
