I could swear my MacBook Air M3 was limiting at 80% charge before, but now it's at 100%. I suspect that the latest OS update, 15.6, disabled or removed whatever was limiting it, but I don't remember what that was. It doesn't

Dewesoft is only ranking the top 50 owners, so their stats may be wrong or misleading for the others. Austria, for example, is listed as having only 1 satellite, but they have at least 4 according to the UCS Satellite Database.

I'm not understanding this either. It should be no more a loss of your individuality than if you were replaced at your job by another equally capable human worker. Of course they wouldn't have _your_ experience, they'd have t

Each hole in the shadow mask acts as a pinhole camera, giving an inverted image (in electrons) of the three guns. All three beams get bent nearly the same amount, but yes there is some distortion which is traditionally corrected for by a se

Absolutely. I'm taking good care of the last hardware that still runs it. Wonder what it would take to convince Apple to bring it back. It's not like there's a shortage of talent and money to do this now. And it would be imme

Were you able to get it to find these quotes without searching the web? (GPT-4o does that search by default) I couldn't, though it made educated guesses as to who and when. But it's clearly familiar with HN. Just not particulars,

I like the idea of all-around-visible brake lights, but also think they should be red only. The problem with green on the front is that cars stopped at a light at night will be presenting a green light to oncoming traffic that should also b

The article is very light on just what sort of digital data we’re talking about. A concrete example it gave was iris data for Sam Altman‘s project. Selling bio patterns has shades of selling body parts. For created data such as text posted

And also starting at 0:43 in that clip is the rocket that explodes, an Atlas-Centaur on its maiden flight on May 8, 1962. It was the Centaur upper stage that failed, but I believe we see the Atlas booster engines tumbling.

I haven’t done a survey in 20 or 30 years. Too many dishonest online polls in saying upfront how long they were going to take. So they are left with a serious bias: survey takers who are desperately bored, or desperately poor, or now desper

The question is are microplastics doing anything different in this case. The study shows that microplastics may block. It doesn't show that micro-natural-substances may not also block. I'd like to see more actual science, and less

This appears to be a poorly done study-- they're showing the mechanical effect of possible blockage, but they haven't shown that microplastics here are any different than particles of other inert substances found in our environmen

Of course whether this is an improvement is a matter of perspective. If you love the beautiful Sonoran Desert for what it is, you'll see this as another attempt by people who don't understand it to turn it into something else. Pal
