The containers don't have big signs telling them which ones to steal for the food and which ones to ignore because they only contain TVs and covid tests. If you are desperate, you steal anything and try to sell it to buy food and hygie

I was wondering if it might be something like there are more male surgeons with more experience, therefore they get the more complicated cases, but I don't think that would explain it either. It might be interesting to see it broken do

Keyboards should send the unicode of what is printed on the key (taking account of modifier keys like shift for upper case etc.), not just the position of the key that has been pressed. International keyboards and custom layouts would then

That's terrible. It should be normal bluetooth, but with some optional flags to say that it's a hearing aid or whatever so that it can be more specifically supported where appropriate. I guess if it's a power consumption low

There must be services that make a quiz like this trivial to build. Something like SurveyMonkey or Google forms, but that lets the creator specify the right answers and gives person filling it in a score rather than saving answers to a data

It's not remotely security or intended to be. Not everything needs to be locked down. Just because it's a number doesn't mean it's a PIN.

I would hope this is just using bluetooth headset profile, and doesn't require anything like that. It really doesn't need anything else with the feature set as described.

Depends how big it is. If you make the tank twice the size, it weighs 4 times as much, but carries 8 times the hydrogen.
