They're the same thing as the headphone dongles that most new phones these days need to output audio.

The duplicated amplifier as ground design is pointless and pretty much strictly worse than using a normal ground, but has somehow become semi-popular among certain misguided parts of the audiophile community. Good article about it here[1].

An old GM plant near my city got bought up by a Chinese glass manufacturing company. They make windshields and ironically sell them to GM.

The only way you are going to get 5+ years of fast security updates outside of iPhones is unofficial Android ROMs such as LineageOS. My 6 year old Nexus 4 still gets updates that way.

Sort of. The Xenos GPU in the Xbox 360 was the first with a unified shader architecture but the 8800 was indeed the first one for PC. If you want to get a little more pedantic, GPGPU has been around in some form as long as programmable shad

QGIS is free/open source and can do a lot of this type of stuff too. More like ArcGIS than MapPoint.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1432515 Going by this bugzilla thread it seems like it should be in stable. But maybe they changed it back. Though the hardware requirement is actually NVIDIA desktop hardware

Currently webrender only works on nightly builds unless you have NVIDIA hardware on Windows 10 (not considered mature enough on other hardware/platforms yet). But to enable it you turn on gfx.webrender.all in about:config.

Literally 99.99% of Firefox users did not use the built in RSS support[1]. I love RSS! I also never used the built in Firefox RSS support because it was not very good. Mozilla also compiled a helpful list of alternative RSS readers for the

Firefox has some nice features that are fundamentally at odds with Google's business model so highly unlikely to ever land in Chrome. Reader mode, container tabs, and tracking protection are probably my favorites.

Tesla provides a 10 year warranty for their stationary energy storage systems. I have seen a bunch of articles claiming that Tesla projects a ~15 year lifespan but have yet to find any actual statement from Tesla. Ultimately lithium ion lif

Ah yes, my bad. The lawsuit in that article is indeed specifically about DRAM. A lot of the reporting on this mixes them up for some reason. But the DRAM and NAND industries are largely the same companies and both have been under investigat

The whole NAND industry is suspected to be engaging in price fixing/collusion[1]. They've already been caught doing it in the past and paid out a $300 million settlement over it back in 2006. [1] https://bit-tech.net&#x

It really doesn't seem like much of a heated debate. The entire industry aside from one company has decided to combine video+radar+LIDAR and the one company that isn't using LIDAR has shown no meaningful progress (in actual self-d

Great, thanks. My Lisp skills are very rusty but I think I'll give this a shot.

A lot of the focus seems to be on making the browser easily extendable which is great, but can extensions interact with/modify the contents of web pages rather than the browser itself? I am not seeing it in a quick browse through the d

Maybe it's a good classifier by some measure but the error rate is clearly way too high for indiscriminately deleting everything it detects to be a good idea, and that is exactly what Tumblr plans on doing in 2 weeks. Randomly deleting

That's really interesting, seems like they licensed the Motif API and ported the whole thing over to DOS. Because the normal Motif is very much tied to UNIX and X.

The keys are not unlimited. They cracked down on this quite a while ago. You have to submit a request for keys which Valve may or may not approve, and they will definitely not approve a request for 25K keys on a game you have sold 5K copies

These screenshots look so similar to the contemporary UNIX GUIs (Motif/VUE/CDE) that I'm surprised they never got sued over it.

Feel free to read the source code (the entire thing is 400 lines) and disable extension auto updates. Or sideload the addon from the github repo so there's no way for it to auto update in the first place.

Yes, Windows has a feature called Microsoft Windows Platform Binary Table that allows the OEM to embed any executable file they want into the UEFI image which is then automatically run on every boot. Extremely terrifying backdoor mechanism.
