It depends. If you do your weekly grocery shopping online and you have it delivered at your home, it may save a few cars worth off the road. If you order five different small (readily available locally) items on Amazon and each of them is d

If the idea is that of building a one storey circular shed roughly 5 meters in diameter (which is what essentially current 3d building is capable of) we might sit down and compare costs against other building techniques (and I strongly doub

Only for the record, at the time the Seagate issue was due to a bug in the firmware, when the drive was powered and found a counter at certain values, it went into a sort of loop and failed to "boot" (the internal OS) further. Thi

Yes, they (the PCB's) cannot be swapped unless you also swap the chip containing the adaptive data.

Since many years (like 15 or more) the PCB of a hard disk contains a chip (essentially an eeprom or flash device) containing so-called "adaptive data", a set of data written in the factory that are specific to the disk drive (head

I may be wrong but if there is a percentage as high as 30-40% of items that are returned and that cannot be resold to other customers and are either liquidated or destroyed, the (greedy) corporation has already raised all prices 50% higher
