Perhaps you'd have better luck using "industrial grade" SD cards; should have more robust firmware. E.g.: https://www.sandisk.com/oem-design/industrial/industrial-car... http://www.cactus

* I assume this refers to embedded Like buttons and similar?* Probably, and most likely regardless of you actually clicking the button or not. I suppose they count a page view as a weak interest, a Like click as a strong interest.

I don't think HTML itself is the problem, what sucks up all those CPU cycles is Javascript and CSS. So remove (almost) all of Javascript and big parts of CSS and we're good to go. We need a name for this and since it's HTML5

They could have made the spec a subset of HTML, but decided that having "control" was more important. Too bad, could've been neat.

"the cargo consists of 3 ferries and 18 (river) cargo ships" according to Reddit. A bunch of interesting comments at https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/143rsy/a_ship_shippin...

NB, Rust RFC 1133 "Make Cargo aware of standard library dependencies" isn't the same as IETF RFC 1133 "Routing between the NSFNET and the DDN". I first searched for just "rfc 1133" and the matches didn&#x2

I like that they're putting a Thunderbolt 3 port on it, perhaps this generation of Thunderbolt can escape the high end and be more generally useful?

Saying that the US is at war with various groups of people in the country side of Pakistan is a rather generous definition of the concept of war, isn't it? It's more like "the US is blowing up people who may or may not be tho

I suspect the problem is that many (most?) PCs don't have Bluetooth built-in, so to sell PC peripherals you'll need to either bundle a BT dongle, be very explicit about requiring one, or bundle a (probably cheaper) non-BT dongle.

Hard to switch GPUs in an iMac, isn't it? I have considered switching out both the HDD and the DVD drive to get space to build a Fusion drive, but I kinda want to keep the DVD drive; it's the only one we have in the house. Hm. May

I'll keep the iMac until it gives up the ghost completely, so resale value isn't a parameter. It's more a question of "will the $400 give it enough longer life to make more sense than buying a new one now". Perhaps

I have a 2010 iMac that's unbearably slow at the moment, and since I suspect that the hdd is the reason I'm considering upgrading to a 1TB SSD (since I don't want less storage space).. But including installation, that's

I think that for me the approach in TFA would work, if it was applied to songs rather than artists. There are many artists that have a couple of songs I like and a lot of ones I don't care for. Artist-based recommendations go terribly

That's… crazy. In Sweden you're entitled to compensation for: * suffering (starting by default at $3700 for the first month, down to half per month after six months) * loss of income (including sick pay, unemployment pay, etc) * e

It appears from the article that if you're wrongfully jailed in the US, you're not automatically entitled to compensation for lost income and other expenses caused by the jail time. Surely this must be incorrect?
