What exactly do you want to do? A lot of the other answers assume that you want examples of different h.264 encodings, JPEG image varieties, etc. In my own side projects, I'm often dealing with old, badly-documented formats with limite

They probably mean that it's like the stories about 100x battery capacity improvements that end up as a 20% capacity boost in actual products that appear on store shelves. Prototypes are always more impressive than marketable products.

The board needs vPro/AMT for things like remote access. If the board doesn't implement those things (and you'd usually know, because you pay more for them), the ME ends up doing...well, I'm not sure what. I think mostly

On their website, you can choose specific stores and get inventory counts for that store. Of course, I'm making the assumption that the numbers are correct-ish. Every one of their stores that I've checked always claims "10+&q

How would Illumos be better? I don't have any experience with it (although I've got some with Solaris/SunOS itself), and I'm curious. I'd assume that Linux would have a lot more software available to it, as well as

Well...nowhere online. I've got a MicroCenter nearby. They claim to have a bunch in stock in their store, and I've heard other people claim that they bought theirs there. I've got to imagine that there are other electronics s

In the CHIP's case, I don't know, but AllWinner had a tendency to build drivers into the Linux kernel without providing source and use modified versions of various libraries while claiming to have developed them internally. The Ra

The Adafruit offices are in NYC, right? There are three or four Microcenter stores in the area, and they claim to have "10+" available.

They come in various shapes, varying on inner diameter, outer diameter, and length. Smaller connectors may tend to be lower voltage, but that's certainly always true. There are several standards, and at least some of them specify volta

Can you provide a concrete example? I've seen three messages from you, and I still have no idea what you're talking about. Do you have an example of what you mean by "gag", in context of copyright? Do you have an example

The GPL is an amazing license to prevent devs from profiting off others' work without also providing access to their own. Some might call that a "gag" because they're prevented from using the code without opening their o

I'm not, currently. But then, the mobile phone market has a tendency to go in the opposite direction than I'd like, and I end up dragged along, of course.

Of course technology will change. Every once in a while, companies need a way to sell us slightly different versions of the things we already own. 3.5mm is reliable, ubiquitous, and cheap. I'll switch to the thing that adds a 4th item

Their definition of "woman" doesn't have the requirement of a vagina, though. In their minds, gender is a subjective mental state. Ask if they have a penis. When it comes down to concrete realities, I doubt that most of them

A genetic male with gender dysphoria would agree with the objective fact that they have a penis. Their subjective experience would say "I should have a vagina instead". A delusionally paranoid person would make a claim: "Ther

I think you've got it backwards. Adobe supported running CS6 on various platforms. The platforms weren't (and aren't) the ones doing the support. At this point, no one supports CS6. The fact that you can use it on some

That's a reasonable trade-off, if the sole alternative is being unable to do something that you need to.
