Yes. same chips. I suspect you’re right - it’s not the GPS itself that’s the problem but waking up the main CPU to run whichever App has requested location data.

There’s a fair amount of signal processing going on inside a GPS device. Modern GPS chips only need around 25mW apparently - older chips can pull 100mW though. Scanning needs a bit more power than tracking.

Generally in the dot.com bust you woke up to discover that your contract wasn’t worth the paper it was notionally written on because your future employer had just gone bankrupt. This wave of redundancies is a choice made by the managements

Likewise. Bought the cheapest Deck & put a 512Gb SSD in it. It’s going to be a lifesaver on the next long holiday drive with the kids.

A HumbleBundle subscription used to be pretty close to GamePass in quality, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case? Worth checking out though.

If you’re happy with 1080p PS4-ish level performance on the Deck’s 720p screen, sure. It’s probably not going to keep up with a PS4 on a 1080p TV, but Valve has done a lot of optimisation work & the output might be surprisingly “good en

More accurately: a GPT derived DNN that’s been specifically trained (or fine-tuned, if you want to use OpenAI’s language) on a dataset of Othello games ends up with an internal model of an Othello board. It looks like OpenAI have specifical

NB. I don’t think SVB-UK had £25billion in deposits? Reporting says high single digit £billions. It looks like the BoE forced them to create a UK subsidiary anyway if they wanted to keep their UK banking licence.

So typical of the modern Google. Shoving ads at us down every possible channel.

There are no ads on my AppleTV. Maybe this depends on which apps you have installed - Apps get to put content (usually stuff you're in the middle of watching, or new shows) on the AppleTV home screen. Perhaps some are abusing this priv

Never affected me here in the UK. We are an Android household but have an AppleTV which has continued to work perfectly. Very happy with it.

Supposedly they've replaced the cabin heater with a heat pump that doesn't kill the drive train if it fails. But you're right - it's terrible engineering to have the entire car shut down just because the in car heat fail

Fresh, non-salt water used to be called sweet in English too, but that term has fallen out of use for some reason.

“City blocks road to through traffic, drivers have to take ring road instead” is not usually headline news around the world, but here we are. I’m not sure why this story has resonated so strongly with the conspiracy theorists out there, but

The “conspiracy theory” is that people are going to be constrained to a 15-minute region in order to control them. In fact, if you live in one of these parts of Oxford you will be able to drive to and from where-ever you like: The only new

Yes. Debian ships with shim-signed which has been signed by Microsoft UEFI CA & will in turn boot grub-efi-amd64-signed which will then boot a signed kernel. So you have a chain of trust from a standard UEFI system to the kernel. All of

You can’t compare FSD crashes / mile with human data for a couple of reasons. The primary one is: 1) FSD turns itself off whenever things get too difficult or complex for it. Human drivers don’t get to do this. Recent crowdsourced data

nvme drives can be updated from the command line. I've done it myself. Extracting the actual firmware update from the files Samsung gives you might be an issue though.

No, you’re right & I wasn’t thinking it through. At worst it will cause the core to fizzle due to radiation induced decays, but it shouldn’t detonate. Still not great of course! Now you’ve spread the second bomb’s worth of Pu or U over
