Is the switches failing because of dust not poor mechanical design?

Except, that's not actually the case as you still have latency between servers.

I think it's more about managing expectations. I for one have not had a scenario where I haven't been able to turn on/off the lights because of a service outage... because I'm not dumb and I don't buy smart bulbs. I

Been using this for so many years! The last time I used it I was able to update the BIOS on a Supermicro board that only supported the processor I bought through a BIOS update. Some quick googling, a couple of jumper wires, a Raspberry Pi,

I'm starting to be on the same boat, though not necessarily for the same reasons. Amazon Basics is still pretty strong... it's when you get to third party stuff that it becomes a real minefield. The amount of third party sellers r

This is not an issue that putting in the oven is going to resolve. It's an issue with the die of the GPU. By introducing heat stress to the die it may be "functional" for a short period, but it is not a fix. This fallacy has

Save yourself some headaches and get a dedicated reflow station that you can control by temperature. Butane is way too hot for anything other than soldering in plumbing. Even a knock off 858D is going to perform leagues better than a torch.

I for one would rather see common utilities move into proper naming and static classing with proper returns. For instance, strpos(string haystack, string needle) will return the position of needle in haystack as an int if found. If not, it

I wish it was a "If you use it this month, we'll charge you $15". I personally hate having to balance the tools I subscribe to. I mean even if I use something like EAGLE for once in a month, that one time is worth the $15 or

That's fine, most places that utilize Electron in this fashion have a web client as well. I personally would rather run a separate app and have a bit more integration with the desktop.

Eh, you're underestimating the "In between Minneapolis and Chicago" aspect. Tech has risen here, and SE Wisconsin is the home of a lot of large tech-based companies like Rockwell Automation, Fiserv, Cherry. MSOE is also prett

I thought the same about the Surface line, until I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yswp0Bio4Oo Granted this is the Surface Book, but even still.

Even ignoring the "couple mm will add battery life", what about a couple of mm actually allowing the fucking machine to breathe and not thermal throttle? My largest complaint with laptops is their performance just cannot match tha

I like to shop online and stay out of stores partly due to the time savings, but also because of anxiety. I agree that buying online is a luxury and a reasonable premium is attached to that, but I disagree that the price should be comparabl

I find it almost comical these days because if this were an app that was a docker container / self hostable, people wouldn't bat an eye or would applaud it for supporting multiple platforms. However, if you wrap it in Electron for

Maybe it's cause they charge $24 for a pair of underwear? I don't necessarily doubt their quality, but the most I'd be willing to pay is half that.

I don't think it's that. I can only speak from my experience, but it seems like web comics have been replaced more by memes and I see a lot less of them, especially XKCD.

Eh, it's not that far out there. Technically singing/songwriting is just human body movement, and yet that can absolutely be copyrighted.

They've been like that for years. I had to stop reading Gizmodo because it turned from actual news about tech to whatever the narcissistic staff felt like. https://gizmodo.com/runaway-peacock-ditches-his-human-family...

It's not the size of the TV, but the quality of the TV. I run a 65" OLED so it's top of the line, but I can clearly see color banding from Netflix on pretty much any TV and it looks terrible. Overall it's just a lower bi

I find this deeply amusing. I see how this could have worked in the DVD era, but these days with all of the options we have it's no surprise why most people don't have bluray players. It is kinda sad though because as much as stre

I'm going to go against you and agree with the person your commenting on. I really only bought my QC35's because I was backed into a corner with my iPhone 7. I wanted bluetooth over-the-ear headphones that could also do wired, had

I wouldn't say almost flawlessly. I've consistently had issues with Jackbox. Usually midway through the game someone doesn't receive the answers screen and is forced to sit out for the rest of the game. Why they don't re

Instead, what they ought to do is go through the top 10,000 domains and test to make sure that: 1. www.* doesn't end up as a 404 or DNS resolution error 2. www.example.com matches the content from example.com 3. www.example.com -> e

I'd be interested to see how the offline capability of Gmail ties into this. Whatever it uses, localstorage or service workers or whatever, it does a pretty dang good job.

I use OSH regularly for prototyping. Their boards are really good quality and I've been happy with them. Sometimes the production times aren't as fast as I'd like, but ordering quantities of 3 usually is very economical.
