Amazon has a lot of warehouses and call centers in small towns. Not nearly as many in walmart obviously, but definitely more than a few large metro areas.

Adding more bits just reduces quantization noise, so it only helps if the quantization noise is above the actual sensor/amplifier/ADC circuit's noise floor in the first place. The D810 for example can slightly exceed 12 bits

Like most fancy VCR features NICAM decoders started out as an expensive high end thing in the late 80s and gradually trickled down to lower price points. Note that there were no VCRs that recorded audio in the NICAM format, only decoded it.

Ah yes, the only barrier to building wealth is already having enough wealth to make a downpayment. Which most people in NYC do not have because they're spending so much of their income on rent. How are you supposed to encourage people

I think an extremely tiny minority of readers of most blogs ever leave comments. IMO the best solution is to host your actual articles on a static site and host the discussion elsewhere with a link at the bottom of the page. Host your own f

The SoC on this board appears to be intended for use as a DVB TV receiver with all of the relevant video decoders onboard, and there are a bunch of receivers based on this chip on Alibaba. I'm not sure why anyone would want this thing

You can chroot into a normal ARM distro and run the X11 server directly on Android. Works pretty well unless you need non-ES OpenGL.

The number is probably way below 10%, but yes obviously getting the shot is still a very good idea. Though the other nasty thing is that getting rabies shots cost thousands or in some cases tens of thousands of dollars in the US, which leav

The places where bats are the main rabies infection vector are generally places where rabies is extremely rare[1], such as the US with 1-2 cases per year. ~99% of human rabies cases globally are from dogs[2], unsurprisingly these are mostly

Depends on which APU you have and which features you need. The latest Raven Ridge APUs had stability problems until 4.17, anything older should work on 18.04 which ships 4.15. HDMI/Displayport audio support for the older models landed

How is performance? My experience with normal VMs has always been that CPU performance is fine but doing anything with a GUI is very annoyingly slow/laggy.

What Google is doing here is specifically rejecting the chargers that do conform to the standard by tacking on a proprietary handshake. HP had a similar charging DRM scheme on their first few models with USB-C charging but seems to have d

Well yes obviously it's important to the fab. Higher density allows them to fit more dies on a wafer, sell for slightly higher margins, whatever. Great for Intel but again absolutely zero reason for end users to care. Pricing is basica

Density is not really an important metric to end users though. What matters is power consumption and achievable clock speeds but these are very difficult to directly compare between processes unless someone has made the same design on both
