Every computing task that was previously the domain of humans, even simple arithmetic back when that was astonishingly rare for a machine, could be described as intelligence if you want to anthropomorphize it or as something less if you don

"Motor inn" is still quite common.

Alongside motorworks there are countless others: motorcycle, motorboat, motorway, motorhome, motel (hotel that you motor to), motor oil, motor mounts, etc. etc.

I think GP was was using the phrase "auto split ... across [character]" in reference to characters that can cause line breaks for "word wrap" purposes in page layouts. For example, a normal space is a character that caus

Pulses can be detected by modern stuff just fine, when said detecting occurs on the same electrical circuit that the phone is connected to (for example, an analog to VoIP interface). They just can't be detected on some other circuit th

Is it truly an unfair ranking boost if it's highlighting a substantially rare circumstance? I think many people prefer to discover rare things.

Thank you! I've been feeling like there was something more appropriate for casual vernacular than "piece" and this is perfect.

Albums and playlists are not themselves pieces, but collections of pieces. Passage is a generic term for a portion of a song across the time domain, and part is the term for what one performer is contributing among many. Analogy: "imag

If you're on a work VPN, presumably you wouldn't want this in the DNS logs. Best to make a local clone! Simply "Save" from the browser, assuming the whole trick is within a client-side script that doesn't phone home

Nah, I know people who use Zoom for this purpose without the camera enabled. It's just Zoom invoking the OS's wake lock.

My wife fitted her luggage with AirTags but doesn't have an iPhone (just an iPad, normally turned off). The alerts I get are maddening, but I'd rather receive them than disable all alerting...

How can I get my Android to stop notifying me about a specific AirTag? I searched quite a bit and couldn't figure it out. I get these unwanted alerts every time my wife and I travel with luggage that she's placed AirTags into. I g

If I understand TFA, you'd need to find a way to get S3 (which offers no server-side script execution, only basic file delivery) to emit an error code (403 specifically) alongside a response of useful data. Good luck...

I think the problem wouldn't be the software itself (that's just a DNS proxy) but maintenance of the block lists. The lists used by pihole by default are decent but do cause problems at times, either intermittently [0] [1] or pers

The words (space-delimited) that you cited are each representing single letters, which I mentioned are popular. It's the compound words (deejay, emcee, okay) representing multiple letters that are rare.

Taking the mystery of OK one step further: Spelling out single letters phonetically is fairly common (tee fitting, wye adaptor, em dash, queue/cue, and the entire Greek alphabet) but it's very rare for multi-letter initialisms. Th

And then there's this!1!!eleven Apparently due to intermittent shifting of 1 into an exclamation point, occasionally yielding multiple 1s, which can look like a random eleven, which is humorous to skip to directly.

The vast majority of reputable sources that appear via search engine say that alright is the informal version and all right is the formal version. Let's say that the latter is indeed an overcorrection and alright is the correct version

NG was (is?) popular Army slang, and American soldiers brought it to Okinawa. From there it spread throughout Japan, leading to its inclusion (stylized the same as OK) in emoji sets, which are historically Japanese. https://emoji

Almost sounds more like a statement of fact checking than of offering an opinion (unless said by the first person, as was the case during the very first usage, in a bizarre "I am right" manner).

The opposite delays is an interesting touch. Basically steering the "power alley / valleys" (which of course are a gradient of lobes whose actual positions vary by frequency, but when you're in a 60-80Hz valley, you&#x27

The center channel also helps by allowing the listener to localize the dialogue differently than the music/FX. When the dialogue comes from a different point in space, it doesn't need to be louder than the music/FX for suffic

I guess cargo tends to go more by ship and passengers tend to go more by plane, but all 4 combinations certainly exist so no need to assume 2 variables are being compared simultaneously.

You need to look at hours invested. If I'm planning to go away for a week, I'm choosing whether to sit in a car for 12 hours or airports+airplanes for 12 hours -- these are the equivalent options for how to spend my time away from

With the amount of overlapping vocabulary, I would've thought airplanes are basically just ships in the sky. Ports, captains, boarding, etc. Or are these used metaphorically, like virtual computer stuff versus physical office stuff (de
