This started happening when default calculator changed from a classic native app to the new "modern" app.

I have a Microsoft keyboard that has a dedicated Calculator button. In older versions of Windows, I used to press that button and start entering numbers right away. But in newer updates of Windows 10, I now have to press the Calculator butt

But 128 bits ought to be enough for everybody (see version 4 UUID).

It is neither the first (I see such concepts popping up here and there every few years since my childhood), nor a good idea at all. Constraints on a good driving machine and a decent flying machine are simply too different for this to be pr

All those old Leafs with "horrible battery degradation" from the USA are now taxis here in Ukraine. A car model needs to be VERY reliable and maintainable to be popular as a taxi here, so it's a high praise for the Leaf. The

I think it depends on the quality of sheet metal. I live in a place where it's all mud and salt throughout the winter, and somehow my car doesn't rust even where the paint is scratched. I think it's because of a good-quality

A car can be maintained well as long as parts for it are available. That people don't want to spend on maintenance of >10 yo cars is a different issue.

I can't believe that humanity is getting stuck basically forever with those 1000/1001-division frame rates. Instead of purging this complexity, everyone seems to be adopting it.

And no matter how heavy are the ships that are crossing the bridge, the weight of the bridge always stays the same as when no ships are crossing it (provided that water level stays the same). See also: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

Where there is a conflict, it's likely to also affect water supply sooner or later.

Can someone please point me to details of a biological mechanism that can cause someone to die hours after having seemingly survived an electric zap just fine? I never thought such things are possible.

Not in recent years at all.

Typically, USB-C headphones don't have a DAC, they just pass analog audio through the USB-C connector.

USB-C headphones? Why not throw in a real 3.5 mm port? For me it's not just about having to use a dongle: USB-C doesn't provide a reliable enough connection for a wearable device.

Which is fine until you want someone to be able to inherit your money.

Could someone please explain to a non-English speaker why is it considered correct (in non-religious context, as many of the commenters here do) to write "the bible" instead of "the Bible" and "new testament" i

Bad documentation covers obvious things very well, and doesn't cover tricky parts at all. This is especially what you get if the writer of the documentation is paid by the amount of written text: there is no incentive to spend time inv

Does it mean that no matter the size of the key file, only the 32 bits of its CRC32 is being utilized?

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_evolutionary_h... , that's when "Blue whales grew to their modern sizes". So it's fairly recent not just in astronomy scales.

It indeed is fairly simple, but the manufacturer has no incentives to do that.

Electronic brakeforce distribution means that when the ABS module is not working, the car will brake worse than the same car with no ABS and purely mechanical brakeforce distribution.

As first it's only for the infotainment system. And the rear view camera is already a part it. And then at some point the manufacturer lets you adjust your adaptive cruise control through it. Then more and more critical things are inte

For a company, it's obviously profits. Without them, the company will cease existing.

Even for 100 Euros, but non-tech people don't always know that. Many of them think that to stay current they need "an iPhone", and 100 Euro iPhones simply don't exist.

The biggest relevation for me about vinyl was when I realized that it's CAV (constant angular velocity) and not CLV (constant linear velocity). It means that audio quality gets progressively worse as you move from outer tracks to inner

A modern "inverter" fridge has a three-phase AC motors with, well, an inverter in front of it. It would be easy for the manufacturer to makes such fridges accept DC without a major redesign.

This approach bites very painfully here in Ukraine, when some suppliers think (for some perverted reasons outside of this discussion) that it's OK to only sell a Russian version in Ukraine. Ukrainian-speaking population would often pre
