Nope, this is not the ghetto "Passive PoE" variety which uses the 4 wires not needed for 100Mbps to carry power. This is an actual 802.3af/at compliant adapter. I have 2 in my home (not the exact model I listed because I&#x27

They don't need much marketing. They were, AFAIK, created by DHL for its own needs. DHL approached companies and universities, offered to pay even for the development, but found nobody willing to build what they wanted. They ended up m

cold of space? Unfortunately, no - space is an extremely effective insulator, so it's extremely difficult to get rid of heat. You need large heat sinks (which adds weight) and they have piss-poor efficiency in space. So your cold side

I don’t think that’s what the parent post means. Rather, they advocate slashing the tuition price, because universities are already paid - by the government! - and they get to benefit from a PhD student’s labor. Actually - Not merely slashi

How the hell does a bug this shallow slip through QA? Of all companies, Apple is the one banking heavily on their image of taking care of their users' security and privacy. How do they not have a test case for this. This kills my trust

Actually - if I'm not mistaken - what you say holds true for almost any other company but _not_ for Apple: They are holders of an architectural license, which gives them (and very few others in the world) this freedom. It was discussed

Given that Apple has full control over the CPU itself, I wouldn't be surprised if the first ARM Mac has a CPU with a handful of extra instructions which bridge the performance gap. I bet they already did extensive profiling of x86 code

Apple is the one company in the world which pulled off this sort of migration - twice - without leaving users in the cold. First, 68k to PPC, then PPC to Intel. Both times they included the ability to run binaries from the previous architec
