   They make a big deal about the small size of the chip (less than a grain of rice). But what's the smallest size antenna this thing could be plugged into and remain effective?

   After several months of interviewing, I understood that Google is just another big enterprise company that has all these bureaucracy problems, opaque processes and weird rules. I interviewed Google twice in the last 15 years. Flew out to

   What kind of latency was achieved on the detection side? Could you use this for real-time applications?

   Could this be mitigated if manufacturers included a "verify authenticity" QR code inside the packaging, with a URL incorporating a very large random number, that got flagged as "used" the first time someone browsed to it

   My dad spends his summers near an Amish settlement. By settlement, I mean vast tracts of land with several farms. He buys most of his eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc. from them. They sell goods at a local farmers market, and when "org

    Initially, ISRG was funded almost entirely through large donations from technology companies. In late 2014, it secured financial commitments from Akamai, Cisco, EFF, and Mozilla, allowing the organization to purchase equipment, secure host

    The article is a bit sensationalist, but judging by early comments I'm really disappointed how many tech people here are ambivalent to these sort of major UX fails.

    I've used FileLocator Pro as my Explorer CTRL+F replacement for years, and I love it. Fast, doesn't rely on fragile indexing, and finds stuff Microsoft always seems to miss.

    On windows/linux, we have no choice but to use chromium embedded framework. But, there are so many choices. Does it really have to be html-based?

    I lament any generation of computer users who grow up without learning the mechanics underlying their hardware and software platform. But to some degree, this is what happens when a technology becomes commoditized. e.g. Once upon a time au

    This might sound extreme, but if every other option has been exhausted it could be worth filing a claim in small claims court. That should get the attention of someone more senior in the company, and there's a chance they'll see r

    Didn't Bezos' phone get hacked through a WhatsApp message? I know they're not talking operational comms, but how confident are we these two apps are exploit-free?

    There's nothing hippie about capitalizing on the opportunity created when a market leader alienates its customers by letting its products rot with pain points. In some ways Google is just as sinister as Microsoft ever was. It's no

    People are going to get fed up with all these stupid, user-hostile tricks coming from the major tech companies. I'm not just talking about this one incident. There's a bar that's not only lowering, but crashing fast. Ploys li

    That's despicable. I bought a Harmony Hub a while ago to turn my projector on and off (and set my stereo to the right input) with Amazon Alexa. The UI and setup process are really terrible. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? (I

    I agree with your point, although I don't think "slightly unexpected" is fair in this case. For non-locals, Vancouver and the region was hit with pretty heavy snowfall, ice and wind that week. Sources Footage of conditions i
