Aren't ESP32s way more power hungry than typical BT-only parts though?

I think the other side of this is just buying Amazon stock based on the daring prediction that big grey buildings full of servers aren't going anywhere.

I believe they use relatively modern silicon in Starlink, but the nature of a constellation gives them a lot of wiggle room to route around failures.

Apocalyptic scenarios where terrestrial communication methods going back over a century are no longer feasible, but we can still readily talk to space? And maintain/replace the stuff we have up there?

Whether Starlink can keep up with the bandwidth demands of orbital datacenters is another question though. (probably not)

Aside from the obvious cooling issues people have already mentioned, isn't cosmic radiation also very unkind to modern ultra dense silicon? AIUI they tend to use really old silicon processes in space stuff for that reason, and even the

The problem with a Pixel is the hardware is always a step or two behind what other vendors are doing at the same price point, and they tend to be weirdly buggy for a first-party device. For example the bug where Pixel phones are randomly un

An article that's not even 600 words long immediately offering to use AI to make itself even shorter has to be up there on the useless-AI-shit-for-the-sake-of-it leaderboard.

I'm sure the tariffs don't help, but might the fact that they're asking for Half A Trillion United States Dollars also have something to do with it? They already had one of the biggest funding rounds in history and that was

IBM PowerPC 750X apparently, which was the CPU the Power Mac G3 used back in the day. Since it's going into space it'll be one of the fancy radiation-hardened versions which probably still costs more than your car though, and they

This is a 1440p monitor, not a 4K one, but if we assume someone did make a 4K HDR 500hz monitor then the answer is it depends on whether you can live with lossy compression over the wire. In true lossless mode it's not happening, DP2.1

Possibly related to them just adding stricter rate limits, because AI scrapers won't stop pissing in the pool? https://github.blog/changelog/2025-05-08-updated-rate-limits...

What does empathy even mean in the context of payday-loans-as-a-service? They'll lure people debt traps and then bleed them dry, but pretend to feel bad about doing it?

This is about CFs public DNS resolver though, and not every domain they're ordered to stop resolving will also happen to be served though their own CDN. In this case it was, which explains how they're able to serve a 451 error ove

Courier New is pretty dated, you could consider using the Monospace Code stack from https://modernfontstacks.com to take advantage of newer system fonts. Your current font stack is actually broken as well, generic families like

This doesn't look very fine to me... https://www.bing.com/search?q=pope%20francis%20died%20site%3... The results are all from before July 2024, when the Google deal was established.

.uz (Uzbekistan) resolves by itself, but the server it points to has an invalid cert so you have to click past an error to see it. Still, it's technically a working naked TLD. https://uz./

Many CDNs still prefer you to use www or another subdomain, because apex domains don't play nice with DNS-based routing and the workarounds are either temperamental (CNAME flattening) or invasive (point the whole domain at the CDNs own

That's the least of the problems with how they've optimized their assets, there's about 250MB of animated GIFs on the Huggingface page (actual 1989 vintage GIFs, not modern videos pretending to be GIFs). AI people just can&#x

It's not for lack of trying either, there was a JS SIMD proposal which got pretty far along, but then everyone came to their senses and scrapped it to focus on WASM SIMD instead. https://github.com/tc39/ecmascrip

That ship already sailed, most legacy Android games were killed by 32bit support being phased out both in hardware (newer SOCs are 64bit only) and software (Android 14 doesn't support 32bit apps even when running on an older SOC). They

Is any of the ~$20/month with unlimited usage tooling actually profitable though? It goes without saying that if all else is equal then the product sold at a greater loss will be more popular, but that only works until the vendor runs
