No, too much software and hardware relies on fitting the IP address into 32 bits. That means the only way to increase the number of addresses is in a way a clean break, so we might as well increase the number to a ludicrous size, far beyon

You are misunderstanding. 1080p, 1440p, 2160p refer to the number of rows of pixels, and those terms come from broadcast television and computing (the p is progressive, vs i for interlaced). 4k, 2k refer to the number of columns of pi

I've seen HP desktops that have a closeable camera cover, and Lenovo does on some ThinkPads [1], so probably others do too. Laptops usually have very little depth available in the screen part though, which is why most laptop cameras a

Oh, I never saw the toast as you have to knowingly submit a totally wrong guess to get it. Most people won't know how far distances in miles are (vs. km), but I guess it's just a number that goes up or down.

Neat idea, but I found easy mode trivial and medium mode completely impossible (had never heard of most). I think it needs better hints, or warmer-colder info or something. I think it would be more fun if it was a way to learn as much as

No household uses 1400kW, and kW/year doesn't make sense. Do you mean 1400kWh/year? That seems pretty low (NZ is 7000kWh/year), but if so, you're comparing power to energy, which doesn't mean much. 1W 24&#x2
