It seems like after it disables non-prerecorded queries, you also stop losing social credits. a query that previously appeared to decrease the credit count no longer does.

It does not appear to be common, or at least, it's not in the spec. Per USB-C spec, chargers only have to supply 3A at various voltages, with 5A used only for the 100W 20V profile. If you buy a charger advertised to support "PPS&q

This device has a PCIe 2.0 x1 connector now, so NVMe drives should be usable now. The Compute Module 4 series have been able to support eMMC chips, so I don't see why they wouldn't continue with the 5 if/when it shows up

I suppose you have a point. It was probably extruded along the fins like this (coming straight in/out of screen): __|||||||___(fan)____ Then they would have to CNC the edges off to create the mounting ears anyway and cut the slots in t

The fins on the active cooler are the wrong orientation (the fan is blowing at the flat sides instead of along it). I'm curious why it was designed this way when so much effort was put into using a proper 4 pin blower fan and header. I

Seems like the TDP of these Raspberry Pis are really going up this time... On the Pi 4, it was possible to get it to pull over ten watts by overclocking it, and it had a bunch of hacky cooling solutions. It's good to know that the new

The problem with putting USB-C video on there is that USB-C is DisplayPort, and there's a good chance for various reasons (last time it was said that at least historically, the Raspberry Pi is a cut down version of a Broadcom chip that

The types of batteries used in this type of equipment tend to be less robust and more prone to this type of problem than other common equipment with lithium cells in them. Cells/packs used in these hobby applications typically lack an

It might be helpful to store them in the fridge as opposed to the freezer in some cases. Last time I checked, the highest inflection point in lithium ion degradation with storage seems to be at temperatures at or above 30 C or so [1], so th

I have had a number of Samsung devices that I bought specifically to test out the DeX capabilities, and it's really hard to say whether I recommend it. I ended up going back to a real PC, and it was such a breath of fresh air. My setup

Hopefully they don't block full resolution ProRes recording like they did on the 13 series. The 128GB version of the 13 and iirc the 14 was only able to record 1080p60 ProRes, regardless of available space

Samsung used to provide this on their Galaxy phones. They called it the "Bixby" button and unfortunately for a while, only hacky solutions to remap it for general usage were available. Seems like on the latest generations, they dr

If you or anyone else is still looking for a programmable or controllable USB KVM, though this also comes with a HDMI 2.0 4K 60hz switcher and is accordingly more expensive, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005149590

Some of the problems with iMessage have to do with the fact that it's integrated with the system SMS app. It seems that there are a large number of legacy requirements in the GSM spec that require the Messages app to be privileged in s

The primary issue with the touch screen in the Model 3 in my opinion, is actually the climate controls. You could argue that these aren't necessary to adjust while driving because the car is supposed to do it automatically, and/or

For what it's worth, you can add YouTube to the list of Google sites with CPU consuming bugs - particularly in dark mode. I'm not sure whether Chrome entirely fixes it, but if you watch YouTube in dark mode, there was a UI upgra

There used to be a way to sideload extensions onto Android FF but I found it too cumbersome so I switched to Kiwi, a build of Chromium with extension support. Will definitely give this a go when it's ready, and I hope Temporary Contain

There's another issue with eSIM: In Canada, all of the carriers offering it charge $10 to provision an eSIM. You get a little plastic card with a QR code on it, and once provisioned, it's totally useless. Want to switch your phone

I definitely think there are two sides to this. The school I went to had a lot of professors for whom the "ossified 2 years prior to tenure" thing was true for, but I also found them to be helpful for teaching fundamental concepts

I think one of the reasons I've seen this happen is because typically, EE and ME programs in university teach very little CS "enough to be dangerous", and the few coding projects you are required to do are often taught in a w

The reason users' real names are in the hostnames is possibly because of AirDrop. The system appears to use the hostname for things like Personal Hotspot and AirDrop, and other types of names would probably lead to widespread confusion
