Yes, the density compensates for the strange arrangement. I own a Note 3, and from the closest distance my eyes can focus (~10 cm) I can see a faint diagonal texture on some colors. At normal distance nothing. A straight 1px line is a str

Yes. Sorry, I was reading below, but that was another event: "All six finalist teams will get exclusive tickets to the to-be-sold-out tech conference of the year Reaktor Dev Day, worth 500e/piece. More information on the conferenc

Also, first prize is $5000, not $10000 - that's the sum of all prizes. You also have to travel to Finland to participate in the finals.

Did you consider a server having 1000 blades? Because otherwise 1 * 24 * 365 * 1000 = 8760000Wh, meaning 8.7MWh, not GWh, and the savings are $1300.

That's just because the way to complain is built-in. Google can do whatever stupid thing they want to Gmail's UX with way less complaints - because what will you do, write an e-mail about it? :) Also because the average Facebook u

If it uses the P5 header, then it's I2C - so there are no USB issues. I remember reading about (other?) Wolfson DACs on Raspi and they were using I2C.

Yes, it's not exactly in the raspi price range. That range is covered by the TV-tuner SDR receivers and other USB-stick receivers. On the other hand, for what it does, that x40 is actually quite cheap.

Something like this is already implemented in some systems, like WooKong-M from DJI[1]. I'm not sure if it can handle also quadrotors or if it's a hexarotor implementation only. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

It's like everybody calling any application "app" because Apple did so.

You can do that with a routing/forwarding table in any OS [that provides access to routing/chains]. Forward+NAT the cable tether to the 3G network, but keep the default gateway to WiFi, so the local applications will not use the 3

Do we also have to rename the "wife-beater" shirts to "significant-other-beater" shirts?

The messages on the right are really annoying. Too fast to actually read them and no visible way to stop them.

There was no actual message sent by Mexico, just a red flag raised by a journalist: "don't poison your own water, even if you don't plan to use it right now". Mexico City didn't plan to use water that deep, but they

I usually allocate a large part of the free space to FRA. In the production system I use right now (about 2TB of data, 50GB changes/day), I can go back a couple of weeks if needed. Fortunately everything is stable now, but that flashba

Organization (by rooms, for example) and collaboration would be very useful features. Also a way to match things that go well together (maybe from other buyer's lists), and a way to add items you already have and maybe photos/vide

I would use a site like this to make a shortlist, but then I would go to the shop to try it - so that means 0 affiliate money.

That's just incorrect wiring from my point of view; I don't know the US regulations, but you shouldn't mix lights and power sockets on the same circuit. Lights should have their own circuit breaker, of less amps than a socket

On T530 you can do it from the BIOS settings. I have the weirdest problems with that though. If I touch-type I always use the Fn as Ctrl, but when I read a more complex shortcut and try to apply it by looking at the keyboard (like: Notepad+

This only happens in the US, probably. The fun fact is that some car manufacturers believe this is global, so they only allow odd frequencies on the car radio.

There is a lot of caching involved and it looks like the VM writes are not synchronous - they do not wait for the actual disk to be written. Normally nothing can beat the native access, but in a VM the "disk" is actually a sparse

On the other hand, the rate the software gets outdated these days is taxing in a way. It makes me feel happy when I receive a support e-mail for a project that I thought dead for a long time: "Hey, somebody is still using that thing I

If they already knew how many of each, then they would all be dead, as any of them would see that the numbers add up only if he was in a specific group.

The pins in the socket are actually more complicated. Every pin is actually a kind of spring[1], so it stays in contact with the CPU when it is pushed on them. They are not very hard to bend if you drop the CPU on them by mistake - but inst

The problem of SSDs, as others have mentioned here, is that writing during power loss can have more important effects: it can overwrite firmware bits or mapping bits. In the first case the whole SSD is dead, in the second case, much more da

Unfortunately it's not clear what is the difference between this solution and other force-feedback systems.

The choice of hardware is quite strange. Should be fun to check the results on normal hardware though.

You can force that with diametrically magnetized discs[1]. It's not the usual way these discs are magnetized, but this will not allow rotation under light forces. On the other hand, if you manage to rotate them 90 degrees, they will po

Where's the fun in that? :) This is just the spirit of hacking, using the (wrong?) tools you have to solve (unimportant?) problems just for fun.
