You could often get much cheaper connections, during odd hours in the middle of the night. But then you'd have to chunk the transfer over days or weeks.

What's so special about 2004? My parents finally got on DSL in 2008, but until then we — and many friends I knew — were still on dial-up. (Using the good old web.de smart surfer tool, if anyone still remembers that) And remember, if yo

A posted CD in Germany took a day to arrive (when sent from Germany, and there were people who'd send it locally), downloading the source code for a few large packages could easily take a week on dial-up. Been there, done that.

That's something I'm really angry over right now. Atomos builds the Ninja V portable monitor/recorder for videography purposes. They sold the Ninja V and the Ninja V+, two exactly identical devices, but the Ninja V has artifi

Room-temp superconductors would make magnetic confinement fusion a looot cheaper and smaller, in turn making energy production easier as well.

Though the original, supposedly superconducting LK-99 sample, was produced in a way that caused it to be contaminated with sulfur. So this might be why their sample acted the way it did.

You don't seem to understand the situation, and I'm unsure why. If your anticheat prevents any superhuman reactions, you'll have cheaters that will be indistinguishable from the top human players. How often do the top human p

You missed 90% of my comment, and I'm not entirely sure why. 1. It's easily possible to limit cheaters to the same skill level as the top human players. Send no information to the client that they don't need, prevent super-hu

Why would you be unable to compete? The matchmaking system will still put you against users on a similar level to yourself. Whether they're your level through cheats or natively doesn't matter. A player playing cs go at 1280×720 a

But not everyone is cheating. There will always be enough players that even if you just match players based on their skill level, you'll always have someone at your own level to play with. In fact, I'd like to see the same bots de

You're right in that, if your server rejects inputs that are too fast, too precise, too robotic to be human, bots will emulate the top-playing humans ever more closely. But the question I want to ask is: Is that a problem? If all the b

True, but Go codebases only look the same because there's only so many ways to make a neolithic handaxe.

It's just as safe as choking yourself, the gas itself isn't causing any damage, but the oxygen deprivation may. That's already an improvement over many other drugs, where the active ingredient is actively harmful.

Funny, on the FX30 it's actually exposed as a setting with a proper description. Maybe because the FX30 lacks the physical shutter, and instead relies on you putting a lens cao on? If so, I'd expect the A9iii to have the message t

Just a theory: Libera.Chat staff that used to work at Element departed the company due to budget cuts. In combination with the budget cuts' wider effects on the matrix ecosystem, this meant there was little if any hope the issues with

Compared to european payment cards with their 0.125% total fees, Amex' 6-7% is a steep ask.
