I'd say that cloud service providers serving billion dollar contracts definitely have much more at stake with regards to confidentiality. This is in contrast to whatever unaccountable colocation provider and residential IP botnet swar

You're thinking of Microsoft PhotoSynth from 2006. This is similar to what google streetview showed up with. From what I can see, they later revamped PhotoSynth to include actual 3d mesh reconstruction in 2014.

That sounds really similar to subpixel rendering as used in AMOLED displays and their diamond/pentile subpixel arrangements. I found a demo online illustrating this http://www.clivemaxfield.com/area51/do-not-delete

The Ampere Altra Developer Platform might be the closest you will get for now. Although you might have to go into debt trying to procure one - it's probably a low volume product with debug interfaces that isn't cost-engineered in

Isn't this what the RPi4 and other single board computers have already accomplished? They even support UEFI, ACPI and other modern amenities as certified through the SystemReady program. You have socketed peripherals through the comput

I've had to switch to linux full-time on my latitude for precisely this reason. It sleeps perfectly and the battery life is a lot better on linux than on windows. The good thing about Dell is that they ship with linux on certain config

Limiting the search to github gists as a first option is a pretty decent way to escape the machine generated algorithmic SEO garbage.

This doesn't mean that support would necessarily regress on existing platforms, just that there will be a window of opportunity to catch up to the state of the art. As for the fixed function accelerator blocks, vendors who cooperate wi

LoRa doesn't have a good multiple access scheme (literally just plain ALOHA - unusable at consumer scale), just use something more modern like 802.15.4 UWB. Spread spectrum may protect against interference from other protocols, but sym

Why not just SSH into a significantly more capable machine and enjoy two days between battery charges instead? (AMD just got done with their 5nm Zen 4 Computex keynote right now) https://www.anandtech.com/show/17399&#x2

In my experience with cost-optimized low-end LCD displays, changing brightness settings will more or less alter absolute contrast at the lower end as well. Even if the ratio stays the same, the darker shades suddenly are a lot more distinct

by maven29 4y ago
The root cause could possibly be that not all displays are capable of proper contrast in dark mode at a comfortable brightness for also displaying expanses of white. You would wear out the brightness controls in no time unless you go out of

You should try Bing again. Bing doesn't mess with your query terms as much as google does. If you aren't a zoomer typing out whole sentences into the search bar, the fact that Bing doesn't substitute your jargon for more gene

Correlation isn't necessarily causation. The majority of organ donors in the US are probably car drivers, for example. They also breathe oxygen, which can be fatal in the long term.

A web browser is more than just for webapps. You don't have to use the same web browser for everything. Surely there is a case to be made for a web browser that caters to a need for focused reading, where a quick context switch to logg
