Ah, thank you! I feel like a fool. I was assuming any 2 arrows. Now it works :)

Doesn't work for me. I can't get past "2 arrows at the same time". I press them, and see flame from both side thrusters, but the game doesn't register that I've done 2 arrows, and does not let me play. Mozil

I used to do this to make life in the cube farm at Google tolerable. The advantage of construction/shooting earmuffs is that they also cancel out conversations really well.

When they manually forced it onto the CCD with 3D-Vcache, they saw a 100% speedup: " As we can see in our Factorio benchmark, we saw massive gains of over 100% when forcing the Ryzen 9 7950X3D to use the CCD with the 3D V-Cache as oppo

What's the legality of hacking these things, assuming you own the car? For example, BMW charges $18/mo to turn on heated seats you already own. Am I legally allowed to hack their software to enable heated seats w/o paying? H

Ah, cool. I had thought it was just paired with my phone, and was somehow sad that it could not see it for a while. Your explanation makes more sense.

Speaking of odd "Find My" notifications... Does this happen to anybody else: When I take a flight, I'll put my backpack with my M1 MBP into the overhead. Like clockwork, when I land, I get a notification that I left the lapt

According to https://frankrayal.com/2021/07/07/latency-in-leo-satellites-... , GEO has about 20x the latency of LEO. I think this is why starlink is so much more usable than traditional satellite internet.

I assume lab grown beef would be just as unhealthy as natural red meat? I initially became vegan for the health benefits (which are real, my cholesterol numbers have turned around dramatically), and later came to appreciate the ethical and

The only reason QUIC delivers throughput improvements over TCP is because it uses the same congestion control as BBR, so occasional packet loss doesn't kneecap the connection. If you use BBR TCP (or RACK TCP) on FreeBSD, you'll s

I don't understand why an airplane being heavier than what was estimated by the software would cause the tail to drag. I would assume it would cause the plane to not have sufficient thrust to take off, or to use more runway. But havi

The other side is: - watercooler conversation is not searchable and is ephemeral, so team members that have valuable input may not even know the conversation occurred. Had the conversation taken place on slack or some other chat system, ot

I had a misdiagnosed sesame allergy and I spent decades irritated by having to pull off the seeds or ask for 2 bottom buns. I’m thrilled to see more seedless options What I’ve always wondered: What exactly do these seeds add to the experi

QUIC is horribly inefficient on the server side, so there are legitimate reasons to use TLS 1.3 over TCP in high traffic scenarios (like CDN servers).

A lot of the conversions that I've seen use smaller packs, like 60KWh or less. And most of them use used Tesla motors and packs. So perhaps this is where the price comes from ... the fact that the pack & motor are used. But $14k

Libtool.. yeah, that's evil. Was it ever really helpful? At a former job we supported Linux, AIX, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS, and Windows. One of the best things I did was rip out libtool, as it was totally unneeded. And if we didn&#

I moved from MythTV to SageTV ~15 years ago or so, for the hardware client. A few months ago, I moved to Channels. What I like about it is it works really well on Firesticks and AppleTVs that I already have attached to my TVs, so that mean

I wonder if it is time for somebody to disrupt web search again? Are there any search engines doing full indexing?

by drewg123 4y ago
Yes, it was great. I'd love to have it back. 20+ years ago, I could search for exactly what I wanted. Today's search engines often give me a page or so of irrelevant but popular results before I find what I need.

At least in the USA, catalytic converter theft is rampant, and not just theoretical. If I had to choose which I'd rather have stolen, I'd rather have the charger stolen. A car charger is far faster, easier, and cheaper to replac
