This has been my theory since Windows 11 required TPM. It's not to protect the consumer, it's to protect the IP-holder. The PC is the lone outlier in the locked-down, walled-garden world of consoles, cell phones, tablets, smart TV

The issue is that if you exceed the (invisible) limit, you start overwriting the existing data. That's Bad (TM), since there's no indication that it's happening, until you attempt to retrieve the data and discover it's c

That sounds infuriating. 3 hours of travel time, plus 20 minutes for hotel check-in, plus 15 minutes for checkout, plus 15 minutes for waiting for the shuttle x 2, plus 10 minutes of walking to the bus stop, and that's 4:15 before you

Assuming OP is correct, your last sentence implies this isn't the solution being used. Additionally, many ( citation needed ) Youtube videos have people talking in them; this method wouldn't help with that. Isolating vocals in gen

I haven't kept up with ereader stuff for many years since I worked on battery life models for kindles, but I will say that keeping your e-reader in airplane mode will increase the battery life significantly. The reason is that WiFi has

It would be really cool if you could read out the state of the grid as well. You could then use the display as SRAM. Would look very cool as part of the world's slowest microcontroller.

At a certain point, if you're going for "smallest", it's a bit of a cheat not to include Z-height, especially if you're relying on a vertical micro-USB connector in your design. 45x18=810 vs 33x10=330, great. But If

Riffing on this, I wonder if you could assign a citation tree score to each first-level citation. For example, I cite papers A,B,C,D. Paper A cites papers 1,2,3,4. Paper 1 cites a retracted paper, plus 3 good ones. We could say "Paper

seems like 1-106cm is fine, and then it stays incorrect up until 199cm, at which point it's correct again. Truly a bit of a wtf.

As an engineer with an oscilloscope, not being able to plot two probes against each other on the same chart would be severely limiting. For instance, imagine a 10x attenuator / amplifier. Maybe the input has a DC offset. Being able to

In that case, we should report body temperature in Kelvin. However, now the dead-alive range (95degF - 107degF) becomes 308K to 315K. Starting at zero, that range (17K) is now only 5% of the graph, assuming we start at zero. Or in other wor

I wonder if it's a container cleanliness issue. I can imagine dishwasher detergent residue might leave trace chemicals that mess up the formation. I also wonder if the smoothness of the container has an effect. A rough surface might en

Yeah. I like tools that do one thing well. The Kindle has hit that spot for a long time. There were incremental improvements (faster processor, 3G/4G, front light, higher DPI / contrast, etc), but it's surprising how similar

As someone who worked on them a decade ago: To be clear, the displays are not created by Amazon / Lab126. Instead, they're a product of Eink Holdings, Inc. From what I remember, most of the screen refresh algorithms etc are Eink I

Jeez. It's one thing to not do the testing, call it N95, and then say "oopsie, we didn't realize". It's another to actually do the testing, discover it doesn't pass, and sell it as N95 anyway. That is a

I remember actually testing that stuff out when it came out. I was working as an intern at Philips Semiconductors in their Wi-Fi chip division. Speaking of time has no meaning... :) I think there were a couple of consumer products that got

This is extremely cool! I've had an idea percolating in my mind for a while: Would it be possible to have VPN credentials stored in UEFI, and have a system reach out to a server for PXE network boot? It seems like it would be a neat wa

You are understating the level of evidence that points to the NSA being fully aware of what it was doing. To be clear, the method of attack was something that had been described in a paper years earlier, the NSA literally had a program (BUL

You know what, you're right. Instead of discussing the topic at hand, we should talk about the sins of the messenger. It's far more important to not discuss the actual topic at hand. I heard the author once said a naughty thing at

I'm not sure I buy "three years" of concerted, Apple-class effort. It's probably something that got brought up occasionally, maybe even some exploration was done to see what it would take to port stuff across. My feeling

That's what's interesting to me. Even after a fire, wouldn't someone want to go scrape through the remains to find stuff like that? To me that seems like that might lean towards a deliberate fire / untimely fate for the
