Definitely, I agree that the physical act of CPR is straightforward.

For the provider, this was primarily a reference to the potential emotional rollercoaster of CPR (depending on how empathetic you are).

CPR is brutal, both for the person receiving it and the person providing it. You crack the person's ribs and end up mushifying their chest if you persist in doing CPR too long. The other thing is without an AED (a defibrillator) the su

Its interesting to watch AMD at work, for one GPU generation they spent $300 million for everything, including design, marketing and the single production run of silicon. Meanwhile, Intel is spending ~$4 Billion on its iGPU architecture alo

We need to continue pushing plastic packaging out of everyday life. Seattle banned plastic bags, take out containers/utensils and other single use plastics, and suddenly I'm able to get plant based nearly plastic utensils, contain

Sounds like a solid reason to null route the offending netblock or depeer entirely. If Google is hosting an abusive user/users and isn't willing to remediate the issue, there is no reason to glad hand them.

That doesn't mean anything gets done because of said internal contacts, and you can only leverage internal contacts so many times before you've worn our your welcome. That is what I've learned from internal contacts :P

Fyi, calling normal phone numbers costs your carrier anywhere from $0.05 to $0.00007 per minute in the US for normal numbers. The more rural a number is, the higher the cost

Opus is still improving, v1.1 to v1.2 then onto v1.3 (current in FFMpeg) saw huge reductions in compute for encoding, and the minimum bitrate for stereo wideband fall year after year. The limiting factor for Opus's penetration has been

Only if Motorola gets out of the way and supports modern codecs and standards. Current public safety radio networks are using ancient TDMA tech that Motorola has cobbled together, along with audio codecs that shred voice quality. The only g

There are band filters and such on legacy, fully analog systems. G.711 (which is standard now for non-cellular call audio) is a step down, but Opus at 16Kbps sounds better to me than a classic, full analog system due to the lack of band cut

This was circa 1 month ago that I had this issue, and it was fixed in the beta build of Signal Android after a few days. Moving to the beta channel doesn't really help if the old device is not avaliable anymore, as the backup is still

by metildaa 8y ago
Backups are low priority for Signal, and they don't want to make security compromising choices like WhatsApp does with backing up. It'd still be nice if the UX and reliability of restoring from backups could be improved.

by metildaa 8y ago
Backups are only possible on Android, and the most recent Signal non-beta builds have had this feature broken, making backups you had useless. Unless your willing to open a bug and be a pest for 2 weeks (and still have access to your old ph

Sounds like Jason should've done a bit more research before choosing his mode of transport. Amtrak has some great lines, but I'd avoid anything involving their bus network.

I want more than monthly security updates, if the OEM won't stand by their product for at least a few Android version bumps, its not worth buying. Also, watching my SO try and repair their Motorola was a nightmare. It ultimately got fu

You have to create a virtuous cycle of transit ridership improving somehow, adding more busses when the riders aren't there generally doesn't cause a surge in ridership. Dedicated lanes, singal priority, off-bus payment and fining

Doing so forgets the human side of the equation. There is technically a couple ways to avoid the fee (eg: self-certifying as a bicyclist, walk to work or carpooler) which give the city fairly accurate data as to how people get to work. Mean

Grandstream doesn't care about security, they went over a year with a broken TLS reg stack on the DP750/DP720, and slightly under a year with the same exact issue on the HT802. I'd be curious to see an audit of the DP750...

The secondary market for Nokias is pretty good, a Nokia 6.1 can be had for ~$160, which is a reasonable price for it.

Nope, OP is talking about basic security patches, not Android version bumps. The S7 is stuck at Android 8 Oreo, and it would be a surprise if Samsung upgraded that to 8.1 or 9 (Pie). Samsung is one of the worst vendors when it comes to Andr

The Nokia 6 was released back in January 2017 and is still seeing major OS upgrades (most recently to Android 9 Pie). I would expect a larger, much higher volume vendor like Samsung to do more than security patches for older phones consider

I'd disagree, for R&D of novel technology there is a lot to be said for casual contributions. If ML was open source, the state of the industry would almost assuredly be better than the current state of things.
