Sounds more like we need a minimum required period for security updates after a device is sold, and other similar measures. It is much, much easier to enforce this type of thing with one manufacturer than with 100k customers, many of whom a

I still don't understand. Even if you are off about density, aren't you studying the differences in density, so that the image you generate would still be showing where those differences are located relative to each other -- even

There will be two broad types of people: those with interest in fiction, and those who prefer non-fiction. The more you can offer something from each group, and from a few different genres / areas in those subgroups, the more people wi

Two unrelated items: I had very good results many years ago polishing the last steps of my French while in France. My tutor used very novel and interesting short articles, one example was a short article about shrimp found in a cave with no

Then we need to standardize how we name functions. For example, never talk about a mute function, but just sound on. All function names should indicating turning something on, and never off, or vice-versa.

Not as unambiguous as it sounds. My keyboard has an led that lights up when the speaker or microphone is muted. But the camera only lights up when it is on. Do we want to show when the function is active, or when the device being controlled

Egg whites were used to starch habits and for various other tasks, but communion wafers are pressed bread, and don't have any egg in them at all. I could not find any confirmation of your statement in a reputable source, and I have nev

I used it a lot for a few years decades ago, and only use it rarely now. I remember the syntax well and I am not know for having a great memory. I think its terseness suits the extreme focus of its use perfectly.

I don't understand Amazon either. They actively neuter their filtering and sorting. Obviously they think they make more money that way, but it is an absolutely insane choice to make if you have any self-respect. 2024. Everything is slo

That is not what I understood. They are not thrusters, they work by changing the profile of the airflow rather than pushing the aircraft directly, in a way similar to flaps. They would not work in space.

Car engines heat up when you park, because the air cooling and circulation of the coolant keeps it cooler while driving. It seems completely within the common laws of physics that when you are at not so uncommon temperatures, the coolant cl

Why would I ever use something that should be on the web, when it must be used in an app? They clearly want to mine data or something equally nefarious; there is no discernible good reason for it.
