To be fair, MTBF is not something you can measure in a reasonable time for these kinds of review sites. Far better for this kind of thing is niche-specific youtube channels. But in any case, what you're asking for here is a prediction

Landlines are backed by large -48V battery banks, the uptime on landline phone service is much higher than the power grid.

64dB SNR is pretty standard these days for MEMS – you will pay a lot more to get up in the 70s. Good studio mics will be in the 80dB+ range. Here's the highest performing one today: https://www.digikey.com/en/produ

what exactly is the endgame with a borderline illegal, obviously non-monetizable service like this? edit: my mistake - i see you're building a local client, not a remote cache. still, i wonder how you see this playing out in the future

I'm not sure I agree on the safety aspect - if they only thing preventing unintentional peripheral access is verbosity, that's not really the kind of security that matters, is it?

Why is it this way though - it seems to me like you could create a type that just works like the C code struct Uart { u8 CR2, // etc. } Instantiate it as 'static with some macro that defines where it lives in

it goes beyond repairability though – look how much apple upcharges for SSD and RAM. The majority of their profit margin comes from overpriced DRAM and flash storage: RAM: - 16GB -> 32GB: +$400 (+$75 retail) - 16GB -> 64GB: +$80

Why can't tape be self-contained like HDDs? Aside from the fact that most people using tape for archival storage don't want to pay extra for the read/write heads, SATA interface, etc., there is no reason why you couldn't

I thought this was about joke stealing, but it looks like the comedians want a cut for the performance and a separate cut for the writing. In other words, they want more of a percentage on the work that they're already getting paid for

I would bet money that the donor was obese. Ah, yes indeed, you failed to include the headline from the article: "Woman Becomes Obese After Fecal Transplant From Overweight Donor"

100% This is the next logical step for semiconductor companies like AD, TI, etc. AD doesn't tend to compete on cost, so high quality open source drivers become a key differentiator compared to other companies with lower cost parts, esp

I love drinking ice water, but I stopped after I found that even when using RO-filtered water in a separate ice cube tray, I was getting getting off tastes in the ice from something that was evidently living in the fridge/freezer. I do

It's not though. We don't consider America to have a scarcity of food, even though there are people starving there. Food scarcity happens when a region cannot produce its own food. Shipping food to food scarce regions is not a sus

in that particular case, it boils down to how many you can fit on a pallet. if you get an extra row or column or both, you're now selling 550 bottles per pallet instead of 500.

There's tons of little utility features like this that are IMO the core of why people use libraries in javascript, but could easily be replaced by a common library offered by the browser. Base64/hex/binary conversion, type ch

doesn't this disrupt normal bluetooth communication? for BT to work, the central and peripheral have to agree to a frequency hopping sequence and a time interval.
