I've traveled for work to Ronkonkoma many times. The variety of cuisine is embarrassing. There is some good seafood but you have to travel relatively far. I grew up in the suburbs of another large city and you could get just about anyt

I had an old Bose surround sound system that did the same thing. You'd place the mic in the best seat in the room and it'd tune the phase to center the sound.

Unless you can find a way to pay for your retirement almost entirely in Bitcoin, you will probably need to transfer it out to something more liquid. No one wants to sell you a house in Bitcoin only for the value to drop significantly overni

I've got equipment racks that haven't been connected to a network in years. It's absolutely obnoxious when everything is a few minutes off from eachother. I just figured out how to set up one Windows box as an NTP server to k

Android will routinely clear out cache as it ages or when other apps need more space. The developers don't need to worry about cache usage if the OS is handling it all for them. The problem is that all the apps get a quota so you can q

It prefetches every image and post as you scroll. Even some of the unofficial apps will do this too but may give you an option to turn it off. A large portion of the cached data is videos depending on the subreddits you subscribe to. Wipe t

An FPGA would be hardware emulation rather than QEMU which is software emulation. For older systems, am FPGA can get you a lot closer to how an older hardware worked by mimicking the actual timing characteristics or by just straight copying

I talked to a biologist once that was running experiments on mice in front of a particle accelerator. He was testing to see how well the mice responded to both routine and unfamiliar tasks after receiving some level of dosage from the high

You could easily put a point on the slug and give it some penetrating ability. It might not blow a hole through you but could at least break a bone or puncture some blood vessels.

From what I've read, the scanning only takes place on icloud images. You can choose not to backup to icloud and the images won't be scanned. Other cloud storage providers have done something similar in the past where if the hash o

If you develop cheats, it's a challenging problem that you can make a good bit of money if you are successful. As for the users, some do it to win money in competitions, some just like to play on god-mode. It's definitely more pre

If the carriers are pushing it, it's probably backdoored to hell and back. E2E doesn't mean anything if the carriers have access to the keys.

I was looking for a nice coffee table recently. I decided to try the unfinished wood furniture store, most of it made by the Amish or Menonites. I'm handy enough to stain but not equiped to build a table myself so I figured I'd sa

We used to do actuals for business trip expenses. It was very obnoxious having to justify every dollar you spent and needing the receipts to back them up. Forget to grab a receipt for a gas station coffee and sandwich and the admin assistan

It's all part of retail business. Whether it's employee theft, customer theft, broken items on shelves, or returns of faulty items, it's all a part of doing business and it factors into the sticker price.

That's a neat system. Looks like it works by allowing any phone with the Milwaukee app to identify a nearby tracked tool regardless of who actually owns it. You'd really only be able to keep using a stolen tool as long as the lock

My Makita batteries have an anti-theft feature built-in that offers a way to disable the battery after a certain date or number of hours or days. You have to plug the battery back into a special terminal to "recharge" the day or h

All the contractors I've had at my house usually have Dewalt electric tools. I think it's a convenience factor, they are already going to Home Depot during their lunch hour anyway to buy whatever small thing they need to finish th

I used to wear a fleece-lined sweatshirt that would set off the sensors at Barnes and Noble every time. I checked all over for the anti-theft sticker and had washed it multiple times but it must have been inside the jacket.

I accidentally scanned a flank steak as a can of beans since I was holding the can and flank at the same time. The bagging station must have had the weight sensor turned off since I didn't notice the mistake until looking at my receipt

There is a little bit of a survivorship bias with regards to old tools. The crappy ones broke long ago but the quality ones survived. But also, there were not the modern manufacturing methods we have now back there. There was no hammer with

Occasionally we find clay tablets like the one where the guy is bitching about quality of copper ingots he was supposed to buy for his boss. It's kind of a fun look into normal, everyday life that almost never made it past the recycle

If it's a desktop workstation with lots of expensive development tools installed or a delicate toolchain (especially one in a lab), why spend the time and effort wiping the thing just to reinstall all of the same stuff over again? It m

Plus, you can open source the code but leave the textures, models, maps, whatever else as proprietary. iD software already did this with the source code of Doom, you can read it but unless you want to reskin the whole game, it's entire

That seems so much more complicated and expensive than just offering compensation and bonus based on a standard scale. Obviously there's some wiggle room within the pay scales to reward higher performing employees but to have totally d

A vape can be much cheaper than cigarettes and you get the benefit of not inhaling smoke and smelling like smoke. You can also begin reducing the amount of nicotine in your vape juice without reducing the amount of time you spend vaping. Mo

They captured one of the distributors for a secure phone company they had already taken down. He was trying to start up his own secure messaging app so they basically funded him, added the backdoors, and used his network to market the new d
