It took me about a month of on/off attempts to get audio to stop routing through HDMI every time my desktop came out of suspend and I still have a basic understanding on how the audio system works on my machine. While I praise the open

These line of thinking is toxic. What have you done in the meantime? Will you be back in 4 years when bitcoin is in the 6 figures region moaning how you should have bought at 4000?

If you had 1000 coins in 2010 that cost you 100 dollars, you don't think you're already going to sell out? People can only sell their coins once, and then they are distributed to many, many people.

I think, as modern humans, we try to retrofit these reasons on to old customs but I have a sense that a handshake is simply the most convenient expression to signify to a person that you have an inherent respect for them or recognise their

It's not irony from the point of the programmers perspective, it's logic: "If I don't work this hard I will will be replaced by one of the thousands of people who have been already replaced by automation".

This is the ultimate in conspicuous consumption and virtue signalling. DIY powerwall makers make similar units using free cells because the ROI takes so long for anything other than free cells. You can be certain that the MB badge is going

I think it's incredibly naive of people to assume that we can artificially replicate a food natural source. So much is unknown about the stomach microbiome and such things that I will be staying far away from this and the likes of Soyl

While the two subject seem to be confused in the article I assume that Tesla tech can be used in both the tunneling and the sleds. Musk's aim was to increase boring speed by two orders of magnitude so presumably they'll find ineff

I would posit that it's different people at different times trying to move the market in a direction favourable to them, but it's a case of caveat emptor, once people realise these things are happening they are safe against them.

I hope this takes off. I was happily using a note 4 for years, occasionally buying a new battery because it allowed you to change it by removing the back (remember all the phones that used to do that?). The only reason I had to retire it wa
