Non-techie notices "internet is slow" because their youtube video is blocky or pages load slowly. Non-techie goes to ISP to complain. ISP upsells to a more expensive plan. The actual reason in almost all cases: non-techies are clu

Human vision is logscale, not linear. So in a comparison, you will see a difference.

Light wavelengths are in the order of nanometers. Radio wavelengths (were interferometry is "solved") are in the order of kilometers to centimeters. While it is possible to build structures that are unmoving in the order of centim

I find sensors are dangerous, for two reasons. Sensors react not only to your finger but also to the wet cloth while cleaning, so cleaning can change settings or switch on the heat. There is usually a "cloth-detection", but that o

Even as a sighted cook, I do rely on the noise a pressure cooker makes when relieving pressure at the red line. There is usually a visual pressure indicator, but on most models it is rather "binary" anyways, either the knob is out

Some pathogens simply do not die in any useful timeframe, e.g. anthrax or tetanus. Those lurk in the soil for years, decades and even centuries. The only safe measure is heat-treatment, but that is usually too expensive. In particular, it i

You like "low maintenance". Car companies don't. A significant part of their business is tied to replacement parts and their chains of brand dealerships and brand workshops. With EVs, that whole gravy train might end, or at l

Better really hope it is closed. Ammonia is no fun. Imagine the stink and effect of tear gas, plus eating your tissues, plus eating through metals and concrete when splashed. Oh, and if you think "well, i've got some ammonia clean

Plus the level of technical protection necessary for refueling. With gasoline, you spill-proof the floor, maybe suck off the fumes, that's it. With ammonia, all connections have to be air-tight. You'll have to vent the tank throug

Availability: Often, booking sites like booking.com have reserved bunches of rooms at hotels that you can only book through their site. So the hotel's own website might show "no rooms available", while on booking.com you can

If you are doing hundreds or thousands of SSH connections per second, you are doing something wrong. At least in 99.9% of cases. Github might be different, but not the rest of the world.

I'm using RSA8192 with SSH and not seeing any noticable performance problems. ECC is generally faster than RSA, so just always using Ed448 or even larger should be a no-brainer.

Those videos are only published in cases where there is something interesting and propaganda-wise useful to show. Mostly a success of the publishing party. What you do not see are the hours and hours of flying along tree lines hoping to spo

Drones can spot camouflaged positions only from some closer distance, certainly less than 1000m. Mobile phone signals can be pinpointed from further away, 10km is easily possible, and the cellular network means that you have a network of an

Exactly. -Werror for the normal make target is problematic. But -Werror for a dev target that e.g. CI uses to compile-test pull requests on known toolchains and distros that you explicitly intend to support is useful. The alternative would

VNC is dog-slow compared to RDP. RDP is slow compared to xpra. What xpra does is sending a h.264 video stream (some other compression algos are also available). Also, xpra can forward the whole desktop as well as single applications. Far pr

Yes, but unfortunately sometimes no. I've also seen a rush to get along with less office space but still have all the people come in, e.g. with hot-desking and an early-morning desk lottery at the gates, huge soulless open-plan offices

Definitions of "supported" vary widely. It can mean anything between "you get some updates" and "we'll fix bugs and even implement new features you ask for".

Get a proper OS with a proper SLA on those machines. Or get an OS that you can control. Then you can complain. Otherwise, good luck getting Google to move in maybe a few years or so...

The important distinction isn't who owns copyright. It is rather that there needs to be a community opposed to the license change and able and willing to do the work. One could even imagine scenarios like an originally MIT-licensed sof
