It's Google, they have plenty of cash, do they really need to invest the float of a $20 data plan?

Probably by custom and known hardware. Let's say it takes 1000 working hours to produce a low latency driver/firmware; Apple only needs to do that for a few devices, but every Android manufacturer has different audio chips and mos

It does say "52 WHr, 4-Cell Battery (integrated)" in the details ("Also included in this system"), but it doesn't list the estimated run time.

Yes, it goes to the main US site, and then you click on the Chromebook and it shows the same "not available in your country" message.

That all their routers in that list are discontinued and out of active maintenance, probably.

You have to prepare for it - have a full battery (most of the planes don't have USB or the plug doesn't supply enough current), have the movies/music already on the phone/tablet. Not everyone is using the phone for this

You usually need something strong for the frame; big drones are carbon fiber - and I don't think you can print anything like it right now. Other things on the parts list are the motor controllers (motors are controlled by current, and

You can always build a multicopter with parts that are not specifically made for drones, so they cannot enforce this. And when you deal drugs, smuggling a drone is the easy part.

The WD they use is a 5-platter HDD (1.2TBx5). The Seagate has 6 platters (1TBx6). The higher density means that the linear reads/writes are faster at the same spindle speed (more data passes under the heads in the same time interval).

I think this is an EU environmental program, as you find this in other EU countries too, in the same way and about the same money.

This is not new at all, I remember playing with MD5 collisions in 2006, but it's good to be discussed from time to time so that we know we cannot trust such things. We're getting there with reduced SHA-1[1] (that is, less than 80

It also looks solar powered-only, so its efficiency is not better when the dew point is closer (night/morning). Linking a small solar cell (I would say ~1W from the shown surface) to a Peltier element (known power hog, a really small o

Do you have a written policy? Care to share it? What happens if an employee falls on stairs and spends the next two months in hospital and then another one in bed, at home? (happened to a colleague of mine)

There are some strange display issues when you click "change projection" - some of the bigger circles have actually smaller amounts than the smaller circles. Looks like the circles are also using the projection, so smaller amounts

They are not actually forbidding selection, just hiding it. If you blindly select text you will see that copy/paste works - at least in Firefox.

At 0:12 in the youtube video you can see how it's done: you fake it like the big guys[1]. That white thing on the left looks exactly like a Phantom[2] landing gear. The trouble with these small drones is that they are too light to be s

There are a lot of failed Kickstarters with the same idea of "pay me to travel and you will see where I went", and I think it's normal that they fail: it's just a better class of begging for - let's call it as it is
