AFAIK that radios aren't usually that powerful (at least, legally to non-commercial use), and usually amplifies the modulated signal from the machine, they doesn't have an input of a direct signal to amplify and send. Anyway, I th

I find totally rare that these devices works at 5kHz. instead of 5MHz or 500Khz (for example). At 5kHz you would need in theory huge antennas to being able to transmit and receive the signal correctly, and hundreds of kHz frequencies are to

If you want to play without spending too much money or time, yo always can get a chinese DVB-T USB receiver or similar with a RTL chip. It cost less than 50 bucks and usually works well without too much configuration AFAIK. Don't expec

I think is impossible to standardise everything. You can do it only with products with limited use cases, like Bluetooth devices, USB HID devices, some "standard" USB devices like cheap mouses, sound cards, disk drives, or WiFi NI

I think the article is pretty kind and benevolent about what the companies do this kind of things. This isn't done simply because they don't care about users or care more about developers, they do it because they want to get more

That's weird, because until a couple years ago I kept syncing the same folder in a NTFS partition in a dual-boot (Linux + Windows) configuration.

Lots of local and regional governments in Europe encourage people to not use the toilet or the sink as a trash can. The wastewater is usually treated before arriving to rivers and other places, so the cleanest is the water, the easiest is t

Also we have to consider that porting software or trying to make it work with the same characteristics and UI is pretty difficult and expensive (in time and money) compared with a web app or an Electron application.

In addition to the article and to other comments and in relation to expat workers in UK, AFAIK, Spaniards who worked in UK came here when COVID started to be a big issue, and most of them, won't go again. They won't come mainly du

That would be totally cool. A BMW E30 or an Audi 100 Coupé S electric conversion.

This is why the first thing I do in my computers is disabling Defender via Registry or Group Policy. It not only enables itself after rebooting the computer, it also ignore your exclusions every month or so when it has an update and removes

I like the Spectrum because I learned to program in a Spectrum 128 +2A, but I have some special thing for the original IBM PC because it was what started home computing :-)

But who keep an eye on that? In Spain the speed limit of any bike is 45 km/h (around 28 mph), and when we are in the road with bigger limits to other vehicles, outside the city normally, we are faster than that (if we can) and nobody b

That's a really good question, and I think is better than a plane in this ways: - No need to wait in any way to out your bags or suitcases. Maybe a fast X-ray scanner where you put them in a side and pick them in the others in about 10

Making your own hardware only for tinkering it's pretty painful. I think it's better to make a functional prototype in a board like that, and then making your own board of you need to.

That makes me really sad, not because due to this case specifically, but the web in general. Practically any web nowadays try to be Facebook-like, giving fast to consume content to users, and having an unlimited scroll of pictures and autop

I don't know in the rest of Europe, but in Spain there is a new law that forces companies to keep spare parts for at least 10 years. I think this is too much for mobile phones, but I find it pretty correct to laptops and other consumer

An upgrade like that implies hardware and software developing and testing, that cost a lot of money. Possibly more than the margin of benefits that could give them versus a simple new screen.

Is this true? I have repaired a lot of computers since I were young and non of them had hardware BIOS related problems.

Every time we read or hear that quote, we have to remember that Gates also lose and win a lot of money playing poker in university, so there was also time for non-work related tasks :-)

Talking with "hardcore" Apple products users you find that they are the first ones who doesn't want it, arguing that this could make their products less safe, so I don't think Apple would change that in a near future.

Personally, I try to make my code as easier to read as I can. Not only is faster to read to others, but also faster to analyse when you're trying to fix a bug. At the end of the day, today's compilers are good enough to translate
