WFH is more widespread, but have you seen all those videos and memes of people attaching their mouse to a fan or whatever so their employer can't see that they're stepping away from their laptop? That would be unthinkable at my cu

If you're sending data via advertisements, yeah. Otherwise, you want Data Length Extension.

If you live in the middle ground where you want to maintain connectivity, but sporadically send chunks of data on the order of a few to 100s of k, that's where it gets a bit tricky. BLE is still much better for power than classic in th

Oh hey CarVac! Yeah, PhobGCC was sorely needed and I'm excited to see where it goes. :) I'm already on the Frame1 train, but I may end up building one soon just to check it out.

As someone who does firmware for consumer electronics, I feel like having such ardent fans interview you years after the fact must be a great honor. Hopefully, someday I can be involved in something that's just as exciting to me and ot

This used to be a lot more common with Pocket PCs and feature phones. Opera Mini was very popular for devices that couldn't render a page on their own, or wanted to save on bandwidth. I guess there's still a market for this on low

I got 4/6, missing on the last two. Interestingly, I picked 128kbps for those, and they were more "pop"-y songs. Maybe I'm trained to like some more compression on pop songs? I was also listening on my work setup, which

Competition in the portable market would be rough, although I would love to see Sony give portables another shot. Especially now that smartphone gaming is its own segment entirely. Microsoft's strategy seems pretty solid, especially gi

Good to hear! In particular, one comparison I would love to see is something like: If I perfectly strafe and momentum cancel between every shot with a pistol, how often do I dink an opponent if my crosshair's on their head with a P2K,

Agreed. It's a neat site, though! There has been some variation in weapon use in recent years, but I don't know if this site would have really helped in revealing those details. There was that whole period last year where people d

I'm more or less in the same situation as you, although relatively early in my career. I would urge you to try and look a little broader at what situations people even just below "middle class" are facing nowadays. From a per

I think GME is one of the freebie stocks that Robinhood gives out as a referral bonus, so many of those users might just have had one stock incidentally.

Ken's site is great. I don't like his photographs and I often disagree with his opinions on gear, but he's very consistent and knowledgable. I always check to see if he has a review before I buy a new lens or body, especially

Yeah, I like my Hue lights, but they are quite pricey. Part of the cost is that are calibrated well, though. If you have a mixture of white temperature and RGBW lights in one room and set a scene, they will mix decently. For more generic li

This post doesn't quite do it for me. There is indeed a huge amount of low quality and low information news content going around. However, to me, the issue is not the lack of novel or high quality articles around a single topic or set

The biggest issue for low light is sensor size. Smaller sensors means more noise, and that noise is smoothed out with computational photography. That's why most manufacturers are going for more discrete sensors with different lenses, i

Yeah, that's fair. My take may have been a bit naive. It is a bit like Enterprise software, though. Even if you're getting screwed, they'll be polite to you at least. When I badly broke an appliance, they replaced it no quest

I think it's important to recognize that you or I may not be the ones at risk here, and the same convenience/safety tools that we don't think much about might have an outside impact on others. I was in a fancy managed apartme

It was such a good deal for GM that it didn't matter. They got 11% of Nikola, which they can start selling off after a year. And that was just to allow Nikola access to their IP, which GM wanted to develop and test anyways. I imagine t

Yes, everyone can study for it, but generally the easiest ways to boost your SAT scores are to pay a tutor to drill you through the parts that can have the biggest impact on your scores, and to take the test multiple times until you get a s

Ha, I'll admit that I'm one of those people. I shot on a Fuji mirrorless for years, but photography didn't really capture me as a hobby until this year, when I got into film. I originally got a Mamiya RB67 because I watched a

Along these lines, does anyone have any recommendations for a service or framework to create a simple personal site? I just want a basic blog, project pages, and photo gallery. I use Jekyll at the moment to statically generate pages to host

CSGO matchmaking is still rife with cheaters. Valve has put a ton of work into VAC, but if people want to cheat, it is still very possible. It prevents matchmaking from being taken seriously as a competitive ladder. Even when I’m just playi

Yeah, Xbox and PlayStation are basically differentiating on services and exclusive IP at this point. Things like ability to cross play, online services, etc. Xbox Live used to be huge, and then Sony caught up. Microsoft tried to shift the X

Tech work isn't a meritocracy, though. Even putting aside the issue of diversity and bias, there's a large gradient of working conditions and pay across the industry. There are plenty of really smart engineers online who have a po

WSL 2 is what finally made WSL usable for me. On WSL 1, build times were significantly slower for large compiles due to file i/o but WSL 2 is basically at parity with native Linux.

The 11 Pro camera is definitely really good; nice enough for me to forgo my Fuji XE2-S on some trips. When editing RAWs from Halide vs the Fuji (as a total amateur), I do feel like I get way more usable shots from the Fuji, though. I usuall

I was on topical mupirocin and then oral sulfamethoxazole for a couple months, both of which seem relatively pedestrian when it comes to antibiotics. It was my first time taking an oral antibiotic, and it probably nuked my entire gut flora.

I had horrible fatigue a couple years ago; I wonder if it's related to CFS at all. It was utterly bizarre: I had just come off some antibiotics, when I suddenly had no energy to do anything at all. All I could do was lay in bed. I also
