If your job is on the red line, and your house is on the red line, it's an easy commute, maybe 20 minutes. Calm, relaxing, easy to zone out. If you change jobs, the new office might be on the purple line. Which does not cross the red l

The 2016 model will charge in sleep mode on a 30w charger, it's just glacially slow, 2-3% per hour at best. 65W seems to be the universal standard for day-to-day use with laptops.

I think that piece of paper spreading FUD is a simple attempt by the IT department to minimize the number of people trying to charge their laptop off of an 10-18w cell phone charger and generating charging failure tickets in the system Dell

Yeah Arthur C. Clarke (of 2001: A Space Oddessey fame, among other monumenal science fiction works) famously had polio, but later (28 years later!) experienced partial paralysis in his 40s. He ended up mostly in a wheelchair for the rest of

San Francisco city council voted in favor of making public transit free, even Muni was on board. Total cost was something like $20 million a year (city budget is measured in the Billions) to get rid of fares completely, forever. That happen

In germany, they'll put you in jail for fare evasion? I've always seen it done as a fine and they kick you off the train at the next stop.

I was surprised when Cisco bought Tidal enterprise orchestration management tool (which I had worked with for years). Great way to get your foot in the door at a lot of Very Large financial companies offering professional software services.

Dell used to have the option to disable "modern sleep" which is the root cause of all these problems. Dell in a later firmware update disabled the ability for end users to "fix" the problem on their end. This was about t

The problem with this is, you can force the laptop to use other sleep modes, but either a) dell disables those modes entirely in the BIOS b) windows update resets the sleep mode

I had to google this as well. It looks like the idea is to move the surface that the key switches attach to, to a sub-assembly, which can then be mounted in a variety of slightly-more-flexible sub-assembly. This is the kind of minutae I wou

Coronaviruses are RNA viruses, so there's only a single copy of the genetic material, vs DNA with two copies. The result of RNA viruses is that they typically mutate at a much higher rate than DNA viruses. There are viruses that mutate

I can't remember if Apple themselves hosted AUX or not on their website, alongside System 6 and 7.5, or if you could get them, ahem, from other locations. Anyways, remarkably, A/UX could run on a Macintosh LC II and III. The LC II

I don't disagree, that is why I added a qualifier immediately before my statement about Delta.

As far as schools are concerned, Delta is a completely different virus. Outbreaks appear to be much more common in the US this fall with Delta, compared to this spring before Delta became the dominant strain. It's difficult to make lon
