California was planning to ban gas powered garden tools such as leaf blowers in 2024. I don't know what happened to that effort but I would welcome it.

That may be covered by: > Interestingly, the patent describes the CPU's own scheduling hardware submitting these decisions as "suggestions" to the operating system.

Many cars require that the battery is coded to the car. The reason (excuse) is auto-stop/start. BMW have been doing this for over 20 years.

This is a good reminder. I had all but forgotten RedHat/IBM.

Aside from desktop, at one point maybe two years ago they were pushing the alias, and it didn't work on Linux. It was BS.

It seems like an interesting and worthwhile experiment. It seems almost inevitable that if it works out, the drivers will be removed and they'll switch to tailor-made automated vehicles. It could start to make a lot more sense as a sor

I read that if all of Antarctica melted it would raise 65m or so? And it seems unlikely Antartica would melt in a few hundred years? Do you have a reference for 100m?

192.168.1.2 should be dropped because it doesn't match the WAN subnet. If your router is set up wrong at the factory to forward any traffic through the WAN port I wouldn't trust the firewall, let alone NAT, save me...

We also got a model B when my dad got a bonus (he was away for weeks during the miners' strike of '84) but we had a Radio Shack tape recorder [1] - not a floppy drive! Some years later we went to a store to buy a floppy drive but

Non-performance clause or not - why wouldn't they trial it in one vehicle first?

If it'll brush my hair and remove specks of breakfast from my beard I'm sold.

There are many cars to get excited about, with outrageous visual and engineering designs. Materials science and drive train development is staggering. An off-the-top of my head (recency biased) selection: GMA T.50, Aston Martin Valkyrie, AM

Yep. I have had myopia since my teens and by the time I decided to consider LASIK at 40 my optician told me it wasn't worth it because my vision will start to adjust toward far sightedness within 10 years. Fantastic advice! A few years

SMS messages have always been green on iOS. Since before iMessage existed. I don't recall ever having trouble reading them.

For that to be true reliability needs to trend upwards and the price needs to trend downward. Over time the former is true. The latter seems to be out of control, the lower cost segment is vanishing.

It's a good point. Where a larger normally aspirated engine would have sufficed manufacturers have shifted to smaller turbocharged engines that are significantly more complicated, more mechanical strain on the core engine, more mechani

Homes in most of the US get 3-phase 240v (120 0 -120) at the panel and it's split into 120v for most of the outlets. Some outlets are 240v (oven, dryer). So it's straightforward to get a 240V charger installed.

Even if they have solved the resolution and image quality and physical comfort, having a bright OLED inches from your eyes induces more eye fatigue than looking at a monitor. All you can do to alleviate it is close your eyes. You can't

"in as few as 20 moves" is wrong, it's stating a minimum with an unbounded maximum. The site states "20 moves or less" which is stating a maximum.

In my case well over 90% - for simracing. Pancake mode doesn't come close for me, it's an entirely different experience. However more than 2 hours straight is far more tiring in VR but for me that's due to eye fatigue rather

My premium went up 50% last year due to rising risk and I'm not in a fire or flood zone or high crime area... On my end at least I don't see Sacramento limiting premiums.

By comparison, I imported a 32 year old car into the UK from Germany and it wasn't even inspected... I applied for plates and they turned up in the mail. After that I did the MOT (road worthiness inspection).

Fire risk and building costs were the stated reason my insurance went up 50% last year. And I'm not in a high risk zone... the only way I can cut it by any useful amount is by increasing the deductible to $10K+ A carrier leaving the ma

Given the chances if it going through are quite limited, perhaps they're playing the odds and this is a purely political decision. Sending some signal to US/UK/MS that we're not party to. Plus if it somehow goes through
