It wouldn't generalize at all. The Wi-Fi is just differentiating among a small set of possible object placement/orientations within that fixed space, then modifying photos taken appropriately, as far as I can tell.

I was half-expecting this language to only have the abs function, and somehow build everything around it.

The main thing that drove me nuts is the lower info box sliding down and up every time I clicked on a genre. Got too annoying to explore different styles. I tried blocking it with uBlock Origin but it would also hide the music player UI.

So many of the smart apps won't even launch without an Internet connection (i.e. connection to their cloud services), even if you just want to control local Bluetooth devices.

When I do scripts like that I modify it to skip the download step and keep the old file around so I can test the rest without anything time-consuming.

What's old is new again. The original 68000 processor only had a 24-bit physical address bus, so the MacOS used the upper 8 bits for tag information, and didn't even need to clear it when accessing. Once they started using CPUs an

Seconded on jDownloader. Still works on an ancient system with Java 1.8.0_66, and able to install the latest updates. Covers so many platforms, not just YouTube.

I'm surprised you aren't still going to move hosting. Now you have more time to do it carefully and not get burned again.

Yes, radon is a gas. Why did you bring this up? Were you implying that dust collection couldn't work? I can see why you might think that if you didn't understand that Radon is radioactive and has a short half-life (3.8 days). >

In case you aren't aware, horse de-worming is just one use of ivermectin. The fact that it's used for that doesn't make it merely a horse de-wormer. > Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug. After its discovery in 1975, its f

This happened to me once. I was calling Amazon and did a Google search on mobile. I called the big number that was at the top of search results. After I had given my account email, but nothing critical, I started becoming wary of the questi

And back then Unicode was just 16 bits so UTF-8 wasn't such an obvious advantage in flexibility.

I had PayPal side with a clear scammer for almost $5k. PayPal declined, and I also tried leaving negative BBB feedback which I heard can help. In the end I had to do credit card chargebacks, which thankfully succeeded.

I think 9dev was saying that providing only a colorized version might make it unreadable to some people, not merely that they wouldn't benefit from the extra color information.

As long as the first ones to be surveilled are the companies that make it (including their employees) and all politicians who vote for it. We need to be able to access all the data the AI gathers from these groups.

I had to look it up. SPF is a reciprocal value 1/SPF=amount of sun that gets through. So 1/50 allows 2% of UV through, and the difference between say SPF 2 and 3 is enormous but 49 and 50 tiny.

I am pretty anti-animation, but you make the point well. Animation allows apps to be more featured, using animation to help new users follow what's happening. As long as it can be turned off, experienced users benefit from the extra fe

Sideloading sounds like sidestepping (synonyms: circumventing, avoiding, evading, bypassing, ignoring, dodging, escaping, skirting). I wonder if the term originated on iOS, where you did have to circumvent things to install programs manuall
