That's usually only a real problem when the ship is suspended in the air, between wavetops. This one is still in the water, though maybe it has a little less support in the center than normal

Have a look at the Silurian Hypothesis. If one can examine things very closely, literally on the ground, then the window of detectability might extend to hundreds of millions of years, even billions perhaps. But from orbit, there's not

Anecdotally, combo washer/dryers are less reliable than separate machines. Maybe because there are more components that could break? Don't know about third world, but compared to Europe and Asia, large homes with space for two mac

I'd see locked firmware as a bug. Nvidia probably wouldn't agree.

It sounds like an extreme minimal instruction set computer (MISC), and it's surprising how much is possible with even just one or two opcodes - that can easily be Turing-complete

Nvidia is effectively incentivizing the cracking of their driver and firmware security signing with millions of dollars. Because a person who cracks it can build a more profitable mining farm It's a sort of accidental bug bounty and I

The developer's street address, as shown in the malwarebytes screenshot, is obviously either incomplete or bogus. There's no city or country, and a weird unit number. Is Google Play really approving apps from such dubious sources?

The Chinese test was very specifically with extremely long range (2500 miles) ballistic missiles, not conventional anti-ship missiles https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37662/chinese-long-ran...

Context: China very recently claimed to have struck a ship at sea over a thousand miles away with an ICBM fired from the interior of China. That's an obvious threat to US carrier group-based force projection So this demonstration looks
